This post is dedicated to the pictures for my photo challenge. Here is the simple idea of this challenge: you have a list of 30 things, and each day you take a picture of one item on that list for those 30 days.
Before I started this I thought it would be a lot of fun, as well as a good time to make month 15 go by quicker. :) Not only was it exciting and made the month fly by, but I had the best time really looking at my life and seeing what matters most to me through pictures. Not only is this a fun activity, but it's a wonderful exercise for just stepping back and looking at your life. For being grateful for the person you are, and for the exciting adventures you hope to have in the future. I had so much fun working on this challenge, and I would challenge you to take time to do this.
So. It's time to show you what I've been keeping busy with over the last month. :)
Day 1: My favorite animal
I love pretty much any animal that is white, and I especially love swans. They don't usually come to people's minds when you ask, "What's your favorite animal?", but they are so special. They appear to me to be very pure and elegant, and I just love how two of them can make a heart with their necks. :)
Day 2: My dream home
There are TONS of houses that I love at first sight, but this one is a pretty good example of what I like. I big "must" is having a porch like this.
Day 3: My car
Here it is! My lovely 2002 Kia Sportage. :)
Day 4: The last book I read
A Surrendered Heart by Tracie Peterson & Judith Miller
(I really recommend any book by Tracie Peterson.)
Day 5: Something I would buy with a lot of money
I would buy a corvette, and I would want it to be a deep red color.
Day 6: My favorite color
PURPLE!!!
Day 7: My favorite place to eat
Since I work at Chick-fil-A and often eat the food there, I would say that this is where I like to eat.
Day 8: My favorite place to shop
I love to shop for clothes.
Day 9: My famous person look-alike
This one was a bit hard for me, because there isn't a celebrity that I look just like. Back when the Harry Potter movies were new, I was told that I looked like Hermione... so I guess I look most like Emma Watson.
Day 10: My favorite season
Day 11: My favorite shoes
Day 12: My favorite crayon color
I physically searched through a box of crayons to find this color. There weren't any exotic colors, so this is the best that I came up with: red violet.
Day 13: Cast from my favorite tv show
Downton Abbey is my favorite show, but now I've watched all the episodes there are and there's no more to watch...
Day 14: Something I did that night
I made this Cinnamon Cream Cheese Streusel Coffee Cake, and it was delicious!
Day 15: My favorite memory
This picture of Matthew and me was taken before our LDS prom in May 2011. It was one of the most special dates we went on before he left on his mission.
Day 16: My most treasured item
There are so many possessions of mine that I view as "treasured", but ultimately, these binders which contain the letters I've received from Matthew over the last 3 1/2 years, are priceless to me.
Day 17: A picture that makes me laugh
Matthew's sister, Amy, had just changed her profile picture on Facebook to this, and when I saw I couldn't help but laugh, hence the title of this picture. :)
Day 18: Something I love
This is a fudge brownie sundae from Chick-fil-A and I love it... along with all of the other chocolate candy, cake, pie, etc. that I've tasted in my lifetime. I love sweets!
Day 19: My favorite band
One Direction-- good music.
Day 20: Someone I couldn't live without
My parents.
Day 21: Bucket list item
Put a padlock on the Lovers Bridge in Paris and throw the key in the Seine River below to symbolize eternal love.
Day 22: Something that has had a huge impact on my life recently
For the past 16 months, my boyfriend, Matthew Parks, has been on a mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints in the Idaho Pocatello mission. Not being able to see him for that long has been hard. We write letters and I got to talk to him once, but that's about all. Yet we still grow closer to each other and our relationship is continuing to become stronger. I love this boy SO MUCH, and couldn't be happier to wait for such an amazing man. <3
Day 23: A letter
Of course I took a picture of a recent letter from Matthew (I chose the one where he wrote his name in Spanish). :)
Day 24: Somewhere I want to travel
Prince Edward Island, Canada
Day 25: Something I wish I was better at
Exercising!!! I am doing better, though.
Day 26: My favorite book
Anne of the Island by Lucy Maud Montgomery
Anne Shirley & Gilbert Blythe, combined with college life-- what more could you want in a book?!
Day 27: My day
Sitting in my room, studying World Religions, while i constantly blow my nose because I have a cold... blah!
Day 28: Something that means a lot to me
My family! Dad, Mom, Morgan, Mark, and Rachel.
Day 29: Myself and a family member
Me and my youngest sister, Rachel.
Day 30: Something that always makes me smile
I absolute adore this picture. At first I was just going to include a picture of the Washington D.C. temple, because it is my favorite and makes me smile every time I see it. But then I saw this picture... a couple that just got married in my very favorite temple. It makes me smile because that could be me, with my husband, after getting married in the Washington D.C. temple. This picture to me equals complete bliss.
