Day 12: Something I don’t leave the house without

I never ever leave without my phone.  I'm completely lost without it.

Day 11: A quote I love

Ok, so I'm gonna have several:

Day 10: Something I'm afraid of

UGH!  I hate snakes.  I guess I should tell the story that goes along with the heebie jeebies I get when I just see a picture of a snake!

When I was 18 & still living at home with my mom & dad, my mom had had surgery & my dad was in the hospital with her & my aunt was coming to get me so we could go see her.  I was on the phone with my mama while I was getting ready.  I was walking into my bathroom with my blue jeans, sandals & bra on & as I went to put my foot down I noticed something in the doorway of the bathroom, just under my foot.  I look down and there's a snake!  I start screaming, there's a snake in the house as I run into the kitchen & onto the dining room chair.  In the process I hang up on my mama & all she heard was "in the house" and she thought I meant someone was in the house! haha.  But anyway, I ended up calling my cousin who lives down the road & she sent her husband down to my house & he killed it & got it out of the house. Ever since then snakes freak me completely out!

Day 9: A favorite picture of my best friend

My favorite picture of me & my best friend.  We have been best friends since high school.  She's like a sister to me.  

My favorite picture of my best friend...Her, her husband, and her daughter.  They are such a sweet little family & I love them SO much.

Day 8: A place I've traveled to and where else I want to travel.

I'm posting 2 pictures of places I've been:  Gatlinburg, TN & Destin, FL.  These are two of my favorite vacation spots & I've been to both several times.

Now, for places I want to go...there's a long list!

Instead of posting a pic of all the states I wanna see...this is just easier, I have a long way to go though, I've only been to 9 so far.

Australia

England

Greece

Rome, Italy...I just love Rome & I want to go SO bad

Scotland...it's so gorgeous!

Ireland...also gorgeous!

There's more that I wanna see, but this is just a good start!

Day 7: What Makes You Happy

First off, my joy comes from the Lord.  He has richly blessed me with people & a few things that make me genuinely happy.  I am extremely thankful for everything He's given me. 

The kids in these 2 pictures make me happy!  The top picture is me with my 2 nephews; Jake is 15 & Trey is 6.  They are both a handful, but in different ways.  The next picture is my niece, Rhiannon who is 11.  She is my princess.  

The sweet little angel in this picture also makes me happy.  This is Alyssa, my best friends little girl, who I claim as my niece.  She will be 9 months old next week & she always brings a smile to my face.  

And crazily enough my career choice makes me happy.  Even though I haven't started working as one yet, I just love the field I chose & helping people makes me happy.

Other things that make me happy:  ice cream, warm spring days, Christmas-time, hanging out with friends.

Day 6: Pet Peeves

Hmm...what are my pet peeves??

1. People that constantly complain, and never have anything good to say about their life.  
2. People who post vague statuses on Facebook, but when someone asks "what's wrong", they don't wanna talk about it...well don't post it on Facebook for everyone to see...
3. People (specifically girls) who claim they are fat, when they obviously aren't.  
4. Guys leaving the toilet seat up.
5. People using your when it's supposed to be you're, and other grammatical stuff like that. 

Ok, so that's all I can think of at the moment.  I'm sure I have lots more, but none come to mind now.
