Day 10

What was the best trip of my life?

I have two, for two completely different reasons.

First one have to be my wedding/honeymoon in the Bahamas.  That was the first and only time I've been out of the country and it was amazing.  The weather was beautiful and I loved having a room that overlooked the ocean.  It rained for about 10 minutes every day and then a few minutes later it was clear and sunny!  The beach was absolutely stunning and the water was crystal clear.  Definitely a place I would want to go back to!

Second would have to be my weekends this past July and September at the Cape with my best friend.  I hadn't been to the Cape since I was a teenager and it was still as great as it was then.  Something about the beach is just soothing to the soul.  We went to some great restaurants and bars, and of course mini golf, and a river cruise.  Our second trip is when we got our quote tattoo, and it was my first one! And it was nice for us to have that one on one bonding time together because we don't get a lot of it.  Looking forward to many more trips together!

Day 9

What's in my purse?

Thought this subject was a little bizarre but I'm just following the same topics as the challenge!
My purse has everything... One of my friends used to call it a Mary Poppins bagcause I had so much in it!  I recently downgraded to a smaller bag cause I had way too much stuff!  I obviously have my wallet.  Also my phone charger, checkbooks, receipts (I'm what they call a receipt hoarder), meds, ChapStick, and I think that's it!  I eliminated so much when I switched to the smaller bag!

Day 8

5 Current Goals
(Which I would consider for this year)

1.  Pay off a credit card
2.  Pay off my car
3.  Take more vacations
4.  Declutter my house
5.  Stop spending money on unnecessary things

I honestly try not to focus on too many things at once because I get overwhelmed easily... So I try to make reasonable ones to eliminate massive amounts of stress!!

Day 7

5 Favorite Songs

1.  Shut Up and Dance by Walk the Moon
- seriously the catchiest song ever!  It's impossible for me to hear it and not start instantly singing it!

2.  What Makes You Beautiful by One Direction
- yes I love them, and I'm not ashamed to admit it.  The first time I heard it I loved it.  I used to play it all the time when my son was a baby because it was the only song that would soothe him.  As he's gotten older he askes for it all the time.. It hasn't gotten old yet!

3.  It's All Coming Back to Me Now by Celine Dion
- I have loved this song since I was 12.  I have been a fan of hers for as long as I can remember and her music has gotten me thru some really hard times.


4.  Conviction of the Heart by Kenny Loggins
- whenever I need to unwind or just need something relaxing I put this on.  I don't know what it is about that song but I just find it very soothing.

5.  No Scrubs by TLC
- my favorite group of all time.  How can anyone not love this song???

Day 6

What are you afraid of?

Well first the obvious, something happening to my child.
Then...
- people that mean the most to me dying
- heights
- failure
- not being able to get out of debt

Honestly, I'm not afraid of a ton of things.  That's probably a good thing!

Day 5

My Proudest Moment!

This is actually a really easy one for me.... 12/27/07... the day we bought our house!  Ever since I was little I dreamed of owning my own house.  Once I was out of school and working all the time we saved up and got our apartment.  Lucky for us our rent was cheap enough that we were able to stay there for a few years to save up for a house.... and at age 24 I got my wish!  I remember signing the papers and getting handed the keys and all I could think was yes we finally did it!  At that moment I realized it was totally worth working 2 jobs and pretty much not having a life for a few years just to get our house.  I still love it to this day....a little smaller than I would have liked but other than that I really don't have any complaints :)

Day 4

My dream job!  I have two.

1.  Writer (the extremely obvious one)

I remember I started writing short stories about the age of 9 or 10.  Then I moved on from short stories, and wrote my first "book" at age 13.  From there I spent years writing poetry.  Then I started writing another book at 22 and finished at 23, and would love to publish it one day.  My best friend read it and said it was so good she couldn't even put it down and that I needed to write a sequel cause I couldn't leave her hanging!  My dream has always been to publish a book.  I still hope one day I will walk by a bookstore and see my book in the window.  Now my writing consists of blogging... My entire life I've always done some form of writing.  Writing has always been my outlet for expression, especially when I just can't get the words out.  It has helped me in so many ways, and I'm lucky it has always come easily for me.

2. Therapist (the obvious but no so obvious one)

I was in my late teens when I started to think about it, and as I got older I realized I probably would have made a great one!  If I didn't hate school so much I definitely would have followed through with it.  I feel like as I gained more life experience the desire to do it became greater.  I like to be there for people because i know how it feels to have no one.  I'm trustworthy, a good listener, loyal, and one of the most non judgemental people you'll ever meet.  So many times I wish I had someone like me... To understand me!  There's something so rewarding about being able to help someone in a way no one else can!
