Challenge Day 15

The picture uploading tool is having an issue.

So I will just tell you that before I die I want to sail around the Islands of Greece. I think it would be an amazing and fun adventure. It looks so beautiful in pictures and I just want to see if for myself!

Challenge Day 14

Today I am writing about some one I could not live without. This person would have to be Jen. Jen and I met in High School, we knew each other, but never really hung out. Whenever she was pregnant with her first child, I planned a baby shower for her with the help of my friend Brandy. We lost touch after she had her son, and it wasn't until my first year of college (2008) when I ran back into her in the Math Lab. We exchanged numbers and said our hope to see you again soons.

Well, we did start to keep in touch. We would talk on the phone, and then we would meet up every now and then so our sons could play. Little did we realize how much we had in common. She became the person that without talking to her my life seemed to overwhelm me. No matter what was going on I had to be able to talk to her. We would make sure to see each other all the time and our boys loved playing together despite their 3 1/2 year age difference. Then our daughters came into the picture. Oh my goodness, these two little princesses love each other so much. I love that our children are good friends just as we are. It makes it more enjoyable when we get to see each other.

We just enjoy each other, whether it's venting and crying or joking around and cracking up laughing.

Our friendship has grown more than I ever could have imagined. She is a sister, not a friend. We are always there for each other and will help each other out in whatever way we can. It is really nice knowing you have a friend like this in your corner.

I am forever grateful that I ran into her that day in the Math Lab. I discovered a friendship I never could have imagined.

Jen, I love ya lady and I am so glad you put up with me the way you do!! haha ;o)

Challenge Day 13

My all time favorite artist is Mariah Carey.

I love her voice, and the words of her songs seem to speak what my heart feels but I can't say.

I hold great sorrow in my heart. More than most people know. Those that are very close to me know the depth of my losses and how greatly they affect me, although I try and pretend they do not.

Mariah helps me to grieve, allows me to smile, and helps me to feel as if life does go on just by singing her heart out.

My wish for everyone is that they find something that enables them to express their emotions, even if it is in the quiet of the night when no one else is around.

Challenge Day 12

Aaahhh Spa!

I absolutely LOVE hot stone, Swedish massages. They are incredibly amazing and ever so relaxing.

I wish I could get them every week!

(OK, so my challenges are not occurring everyday but I really am trying!)

Challenge Day 11

Coulrophobia, the fear of clowns.

Coulrophobia sufferers experience symptoms ranging from mild anxiety to outright panic attacks when faced with people in clown outfits or even just makeup.

Enough said!  I freaking hate clowns!

Challenge Day 10

Some of the craziest yet unbelievably fun times in my life were with this chick, my Nik.

We were some hell raisers together. haha

We were as close as two friends could be, then all of a sudden we were apart and didn't talk for a few years. Those details have since been swept under the rug and we have picked up a decent friendship again, although some days I wish we were close like we used to be.

She still makes me laugh and is still as crazy as ever, hence her nickname...MONKEY!!

I gave her a monkey friendship necklace on her 16th birthday that I still have my part of :o) that was 10 or so years ago ;o) hehehe

I am thankful that we reconnected and that we have rekindled our friendship. It means so much to me.

So to you, Monkey, thank you for being my friend and my past partner in crime. Without you there would have been a lot of dull moments. Love ya!

Oh and P.S., no running into any carport posts....ok?! hahahahaha



Challenge Day 9

I must say that it took me awhile to come up with the person that has gotten me through the most. I have a few people that have been there for me, and with me through all of the happy and sad times in my life. However, I decided that in all reality, my mother has been there to get me through pretty much everything. Granted, we have our moments of dislike for each other but she is always there no matter what.  

She is my mom(my) after all. She will always be in my corner whether she is loud or quiet, she will never leave. That is something to be thankful for.
