Day 10

A picture of a person you see yourself marrying/being with in the future...


Uhm, pretty sure you are stuck with me!

This guy keeps me on my toes and a day does not go by that I do not get a good laugh from him.
 (Or eye roll!)

I can see us getting married again and again and again!


Love you kid!

She has been there for me through the darkest, worst, best and happiest times of my life. We sure do argue like sister's, but she has been my rock my whole life. Love you Madre!

Day 8

A picture that makes me laugh...


I dare you to not laugh! No, I DOUBLE DOG DARE YOU!!!

Day 7

A picture of someone/something that has had the biggest impact on me...


Besides this little Angel....



It's this guy!

I love him with every ounce of my being! He has made me a better person and continues to show me what love is!

Day 6

A picture that shows my TRUE SELF...


OH WAIT!




 

I'm a mommy and a wife! I wouldn't trade these two things for the world! Sure I have my hard days, but the good outweigh the bad. I am in love with my Avery, my Nick and my life!

(Disclaimer: I am the one behind the camera 99.9% of the time. If there were to be a TRUE picture of my TRUE self, it would show I am a worry wart!)

Day 5

A picture of somewhere I have been to...


CORONADO!

This is our HAPPY place!


The first time Nick and I went together was for his 30th birthday. (That was AGES ago!) The first time going as a family was when Avery was 3 months old. We even got married there! We now have a family tradition of going every 4th of July and we've been there for two Thanksgiving's. Coronado is a slice of heaven. Or heaven itself!












Day 4

A habit I wish I didn't have...



OR



That's right!

The computer! (Well technically the internet, but the picture was of some star looking galaxy in the outer space. See picture below.)


I log on often. TOO OFTEN! I love reading up on friend's blogs. Browsing for presents. Or reading the daily gossip!

It helps me stay in the know on current issues or helps me to feel like I am having a "conversation" with some other adult.

Needless to say it is a LOVE/HATE relationship. I HATE to LOVE it and LOVE to HATE it!

Day 3

A picture of me and my craziest friend(s)....








Honestly, I can't choose just one!

I have been blessed with many wonderful friends through the years and we have had our own CRAZY experiences together! I wish I had photos from our high school and college days. Unfortunately, I lost way too many!

Day 2

A really good memory....(or two, maybe even three.)

(This is not the day I met him, rather a couple of months after.)


The day I met Nick.

It wasn't supposed to happen, but it did. What I mean by this is I was out with a girlfriend for a Girls Night Out. She wanted to stop by and check in on her guy friend. I was annoyed at first, but the moment I saw Nick I knew I was going to marry him.



The day I met Avery.

I'm not going to lie. I was nervous the ENTIRE pregnancy with Avery. The fear of the unknown. But once I laid eyes on our sweet daughter, I knew there was a greater meaning to life. I had never felt love like this before.



Our wedding day.

Nick and I did it the way WE wanted to. Unconventional or not, it was our day and one of the best days of our lives.

Day 1

My computer is running SOOOO slow and I am about to throw it against the wall.....

Moving on:

(Photo taken in Coronado at one of our favorite cafe's Tartine.)

15 "interesting" facts about me

1. I used to despise chocolate until I had Avery. Now, I LOVE it! Dang it!!!
2. I have ghosts that follow me! No lie. I have some pretty crazy stories and will have to share one day.
3. I LOVE taking Zumba classes. It reminds me of my old dancing days and it's one uniterrupted hour that I can "zone" out in.
3. I lived in Texas for 9 years.
4. I've had chicken pox THREE times! (Twice as a child and once as an adult.)
5. I want to go back to school soon!
6. My first CD was Bon Jovi, courtesy of my dad.
7. My first concert was Janet Jackson. (Same as my sister. Weird!)
8. Have I mentioned I LOVE music and concerts? It makes me feel young!
9. I am deathly afraid of driving through Sardine Canyon. I do it twice a week and get anxiety each time I am about to drive into it!
10. I feel like I live out of a suitcase. Thank goodness 2011 is right around the corner!!!
11. My sister Smash is my BEST friend! (And it's weird we like, do and love so many similar things!)
12. I relate most memories to music. Or the other way around. (Ie: Phil Collins reminds me of driving in our red Ford Escort, with my dad, in Texas with NO air conditioning. U2 reminds me of my first boyfriend. Blue October reminds me of my love, Nick. And Ismael Kamawool reminds me of my baby, Ave!)  
13. If I see 11:11, I still make a wish. (Does that make me childish.)
14. I can't live without coffee. I am a HOT MESS without it!
15. Nick and Avery are my life! I would do anything for them!

...So I kind of realized I am not that interesting! Bummer...
