Day 4

A Pic of Your Favorite Night.

I have many favorite nights, although I'm not really a fan of the night. I'm normally inside by the time it gets dark and I like to get plenty of sleep. So that narrowed down the options pretty quickly. This picture is from when Han, Kyle, Tim and I were at the beach. Our faces show how much fun we were having. We were just running around laughing and being crazy. I am wearing pajama pants since I wasn't planning on walking down to the beach that night. Tim ended up throwing me in the water. Luckily my undies looked like bikini bottoms. Just thinking about that fun night and our fun beach trip is making smile and also crave the beach like a big dog.

Day 3

A picture of the cast of your fave show:
Hands down Law and Order: SVU is my fave show ever. Kyle hates this show but it's literally my life. I am the happiest girl in the world every Tuesday when there's a marathon on USA. I'm even happier if they give me another marathon on a Sunday! Mariska Hargitay is one of my many celebrity crushes.

Tied for first place with SVU is Sex and the City. As corny as this sounds I have learned a lot from those four fictional, but very realistic characters. Now this is a show that Kyle will watch with me. I have another giant crush on Sarah Jessica Parker.

Day 2

A picture of the person you've been closest with the longest.

My sweet sister, Hannah

After we got over the little cat fights and her annoying the crap out of me when we were children, we have now be come thick as thieves. Hannah and I really lean on each other. We have a very open and honest relationship. Even though I want to kill her when she borrows my clothing and then loses it or gets it dirty, I still love her every minute! My life would be sooooo boring and so worthless with out her. I can only hope and pray we remain this close forever.

30 Day Challenge

I've seen this challenge all over facebook. I thought it was totally lame at first, but that's bc lame people were participating. A few of my blog friends have been incorporating the challenge into their blogs which is totally cool and not at all lame so I think I'll do it too! It's the first of the month! How perfect!

Day 1: A picture of yourself and 15 facts.

1. I am a vegetarian. It is the most beautiful, compassionate, and effective choice I have ever made.
2. I love going out to eat. Specifically Roburrito's, Wendy's, Subway, or anywhere that has pizza or veggie burgers.
3. I love buying things in bulk-toiletries, food, the same shirt in 9 colors, etc.
4. I don't shave my legs. I thank God everyday that Kyle is sooooo cool about this.
5. I care deeply about current issues and social injustices. I get most of my information from Time magazine and aljazeera.com
6. I check Post Secret every Sunday.

7. I have a whole closet with random housewares, a bathroom set, decorative pillows, and small pieces of furniture for my future house. It's totally creepy but I know Kyle with thank me later!

8. I don't really like holidays. Marketing and society have basically ruined them for me.

9. I have four tattoos.

10. I flip flop back and forth between wanting and not wanting children. If we decide to I already have names picked out.

11. I'll hopefully graduate soon with a Political Science, American Law, and Education degree. I want to be a social studies teacher when I grow up.

12. I've driven both to and from California.

13. My chocolate lab, Groovy, is my child. She's a challenge and a reward everyday.

14. My favorite job ever was working at Express at the King of Prussia mall. My second fave is babysitting.

15. I have been in love with Barack Obama well before his bid for president. I continue to have solidarity and support him 100%.



March!

I am so excited it is March! That means it's almost Spring, almost May (my bday month and the end of school!) and almost June (Kyle's bday month and vacation time)! This month is also the beginning of Lent. Over the years I have given up fast food, sweets, going out to eat, shopping and meat. The year I gave up meat is the last time I ate meat! This year I am thinking of giving up swearing. I've been better about it lately but I'd like to give it up altogether! It's just ugly. And it upsets my mother.
Another one of my friends is getting married. I swear my life is the equivelant of the movie 27 Dresses. That's okay with me though, I like where we are and what we're doing. Sarah Boyer has been in my life for only 4 short years but she has been my rock and a very near and dear to my entire family. I have the honor of being her maid of honor in her wedding next April! So exciting! I will be traveling to Florida a few times until then to help plan, pick out her dress, and for the shower! I am so excited!
I am convinced no one reads my blog. I felt super uncool which is why I stopped writing for awhile. But then I realized I am not writing for other people to read this. I write for myself and sometimes Kyle. This is like a little journal and I'll be able to look back on these posts someday. I am trying to remember that.
One of my fave bible verses has really been in my mind lately. We are really struggling with Ky being unemployed. The job hunt is just exhausting. But as impatient and angry as we get, and as much as we want to give up, I know we have to stay positive and prayerful. "Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God." Philippians 4:6. We are staying faithful and we will not be giving up anytime soon!

Truth

Bday Girl!

 We celebrated Hannah's 18th bday with a delicious dinner at Bull's in Lancaster! We had cake and ice cream at home. The party hats were essential much to the bday girl's demise. It was a low key night but it was super fun.

For Han's big gift we got matching tattoos. They say 'Follow me and I'll follow you.' This is something Han and I found awhile ago and we've been thinking about it ever since. I love it. I love that we will have it forever and ever. The purple idea didn't come up until Hannah was sitting in the chair. We are so glad we got purple! Try to find two sisters closer than us, it will be hard I am sure!
