Day 8 - A Picture That Makes You Laugh

I had several pictures in mind, but this one beat out all the rest. This is my second cousin Andreas. We were at my Grandma's 85th birthday celebration, and I was playing with him. Whenever I tried to take a picture of him, he would scrunch up his face. Of course after I took the picture, he would break out into this huge goofy grin. But I can't help but look at this picture and giggle. He is so adorable, and one of the sweetest kids you'll ever meet. I wish I could see him more often, but I am glad every time I do. I love him and his whole family. And how this picture makes me laugh.

Day 7 - A Picture of Your Most Treasured Items

My bears, Bubba (R) and Mumma Mia (L). I have had these bears since I was born, and I sleep with them every night. They have been with me through everything, from sickness to health, fights to good moments. I love these bears, no matter what they look like. And yes, they are bears. Not pigs. If I had time to grab something from a burning building that wasn't a family member, pet, or important document, I'd grab these bears. Everyone in my family has at least 2. Even my Dad. And we all sleep with them every night. Mom's are brown and white, Dad's are white (well, they are supposed to be), Kyra's are white, and mine are pink. I also have a brown one, but these two are my favorites. It is funny, for a long time, they didn't have names. Then one day, I decided to name them after a Pringles commercial introducing the new pizza pringles. And then I told everyone in the car on our way to the airport. Because seriously, these bears go everywhere with me that involves me spending the night. They may be worn and losing their fur, but they are still perfect in my eyes.

Day 6 - A Picture of a Person You'd Love to Trade Places With for a Day

Carrie Underwood. She is beautiful, talented, can sing, loves Christ, and is genuine, as well as really funny. Plus her husband is gorgeous. When I saw her in concert, she was so fun to watch, and she told really funny anecdotes. She loves what she does, which is all anyone can hope to do. She also was able to reach her dreams, yet she is humble about it. She doesn't take it for granted.

Day 5 - A Picture of Your Favorite Memory

This was a party our parents threw for us before we entered High School. I love all these girls, and we had so many awesome memories together. Unfortunately, I don't have pictures of all of them. But this picture I think best shows our friendship back then. At this party, our parents gave us a scrapbook that they worked on secretly that had baby pictures of us, as well as current pictures. They also wrote facts about us, and each of us had a page. I am so glad that God blessed me with each and everyone of these girls. They really enriched my life so much when I was in Conway. I really miss them, and I hope to see them soon!

Day 4 - A Picture of Your Night

I spent my night at home with my Mom! We made dinner, ate ice cream, and watched a movie in bed, just the two of us. =] After we got home driving me back from college, we unloaded my stuff, then ate. I made pancakes. Then we enjoyed some Creamery chocolate cherry cordial ice cream, and curled up to watch "Amish Grace" which was a very sad but good movie based on the Amish school shootings in 2006.

I love being home!

Day 3 - A Picture of the Cast From Your Favorite Show

I had a hard time deciding between NCIS and Glee, but I decided on NCIS because it appeals to my science side. And all the pictures of the Glee cast either lacked some characters or had Terri. NCIS is a funny, intelligent show that has had an awesome history and great character dynamics. Plus the guys are pretty attractive. =] Also, NCIS is a longer running show, 8 seasons, so I feel like it has withstood the test of time.

Day 2 - A Picture of You and the Person You Have Been Closest With the Longest

My Mom! She gets me through everything! Since I have moved around so many times, I haven't had one best friend that I am super close with for a long time. And since my sister is only a little more than a year and a half older, when I wanted to play, she wanted nothing to do with her little sister. Funny story about us. When I was little, I gave my sister $20 to play with me. She wanted the money, I wanted a playmate, seemed like a good deal. Well, our parents found out, and we both got in trouble. Regardless, since we have been sisters, we haven't always been close. But I am a Momma's girl, always have been, always will be. I love my Mom and I am so glad I can tell her anything!
