Day 10--A photo older than 10 years

This is from my sophomore year, which yes was way more than 10 years ago.  Let's talk about the glasses, could they be any bigger?  Next let's talk about the the dyed to match shoes...wow!  There is no need to mention the awful hair.  I was going through my short hair is cool phase.  Obviously, I was wrong.  I honestly just got rid of this dress about 2 years ago.  I held on to it for sentimental reasons I suppose.  I went to this dance with my first "real boyfriend".  I went with him knowing I was going to break up with him after, don't judge, he was a terrible kisser and I already had the dress!  Enjoy this monstrosity!

Spring

I love spring!  I think the trees stand up a little taller showing off their bright green leaves, the grass is a little greener, the sky is a brighter blue, the clouds are a little puffier.  I drove home from my mom's yesterday (a four hour drive) and I took the time to really enjoy the scenery.  I noticed the dogwoods and redbuds scattered throughout the woods, just a splash of color.  I almost felt like I was in a cartoon and everywhere I traveled the glitter came out from behind my car, leaving the beautiful colors in my wake...ok, that might be a stretch,  but I really do love spring!

Day 9--A pet peeve

Oh my goodness, I have so many!  I think my biggest pet peeve is the "one-upper".  We all know them...you caught one fish, they caught 10 and they were THIIIIIISSSSSSS big!  OMG!  It makes me friggin' crazy!  Seriously, people is your life so pitiful that you can't let someone have their moment?!  Ok, vent over.

Day 8--Something I crave

I can live without meat, I can live without vegetables, I can live without fruit, but please, please, please do not make me live without donuts!  I love donuts.  I like them cream filled, jelly-filled, iced, glazed, powdered, cake, yeast....and the list goes on!  So needless to say, I crave donuts!

Day 7--A favorite photo

I love pictures.  I try to photograph every aspect of our life.  I guess I just want to hold onto the memories.  I don't print out a lot of them, but I do post most of them on Facebook to share with my family since I live about 4 hours away from them.

I love this picture.  He still holds my hand this tight all the time!

Day 6--A fun fact about me

Ok, I was traveling last night and missed my blog so I am doing 2 tonight.
My fun fact:
I love to sing karaoke!  I am not the world's best singer but it is fun.  It is a great way to get to know a person's style.  I love to sing old, hokey country songs.  That is the kind of music I grew up on.  My mom sings in a country band and I basically grew up in a dance hall.  So I guess I choose karaoke songs based on my past experiences. I do not like to sing by myself, I prefer a group. 

Day 5--A Favorite Quote

Don't judge each day by the harvest you reap but by the seeds that you plant.
Robert Louis Stevenson

I chose this quote mainly because I am a preschool teacher.  I try to live each day as a positive influence on the lives I touch.  I am not going to lie, there are some days it is harder than others.  I do hug my students every day.  I also tell them I love them every day.  I think if I am a positive influence at this early stage of their education that maybe their love of school will continue through the latter grades.
