A Little Update

      Well the photo challenge obviously was permanently put off. It was fun while it lasted but it seemed like when the smallest thing happened it took me away from the blog. But now I'm back with a little update.
       A couple of posts ago I said that I was moving...well sadly we are STILL in the process of moving. We had an open house yesterday and we had a couple of groups go through so I guess it was a small success. But in order to get the house ready to be shown, we have condensed a lot of stuff (as in packed and boxed). It's been pretty boring around the house because my sister and my mom and I had packed all of our fabric and we are going crazy. The dilemma we are in right now is that we have access to the house we are going to be moving into, but in order to fully buy and move in officially we have to sell the house we are sitting on now. It feels like an extremely long process.
       Tonight I went to my mission prep. class. I absolutely love it. I've been going to it for a couple months now since they started it in our stake. We have already gone through each lesson and now we’re to the point of doing scenarios. We were set into companionships and then our topic was the restoration. My "companion" and I went up there are (not to brag) but we nailed it. It was so exciting. We introduced ourselves, stated why we were there, gave the message and then bore our testimonies. I still have a couple more years to go but I really can't wait for the real thing on my mission. At school I had an experience to give my testimony in a copy of the Book of Mormon to my friend and that felt really great too. I am so grateful that the mission age was changed.

Day 11: Something Blue

My picture for "Something Blue" is my Hardy Boys Mystery Books. I love them to death. I collect them. I also collect the Nancy Drew Mystery Books. I know that they are definatly under my reading level since I am a junior in high school, but they are so much fun to read. I mainly find them at library sales and the D.I. With us moving, I've had to box them all up. Which was not much fun because I always see them in the open. They are the only books I have on my bookshelf.



This is not all. :)



Recap and Day 10: Childhood Memory

So just a recap. My sister-in-law and I are doing a 30 photo challenge. Every 10 days I'm re-posting the challenge so we are all on the same page (or so to speak). So we have already done 1-9 and today will make 10. Go check out her pictures HERE.

Day 10 is a childhood memory. It's kind of tricky because I had a lot of ideas for this one. I could just sum it up and take a picture of my house. It has so many memories inside and out. It's been announced officially that we are moving. It's true. It's been kind of hectic around here since we are packing everything up. Looking for boxes has been pretty fun though. We check the businesses around our area. We are moving into my grandma's old house. She passed away last July and so we have been thinking about it and we decided that we want the house as ours so....now we need our current house up for sale. We are quickly packing and fixing things up.

Anyway so the real Day 10 picture for me today is my stuffed animal bear. His name is Gus. Gus has been with me since I was 7. I got him for Christmas. Since then I always ask for a teddy bear for Christmas. It's sort of a tradition now. So here he is.

Day 9: Someone You Love

Tonight my older sister and I were bored. Which is not a suprise in most cases. So we decided to color. Legit Coloring. We got out my IPod and cranked it up. We put glasses on and Lip Synced. It was so much fun. I think we laughed and sang more than we colored though. I think in the half an hour we did it I only colored ONE page. So my picture today is definatly someone I love. My older sister. :)

Day 8: Bad Habit

I think that one of my bad habits is that I listen to too much music. (Or at least others think so) Also when I love a certain song.... I tend to play it into the ground. Yes I admit, I'm guilty of that but can you blame me if it's a good song? My younger sister says that I listen to my music 24/7. Which at times just drives her up the wall. So that is what my "Bad Habit" picture is for today. My beloved IPod.
The current songs that I listen to (all the time) are...

"Another One Bite's the Dust" by Queen

"Tell Me Why" by Dion and the Belmonts

"You Can Call Me Al" by Paul Simon

Day 7: Fruit

Just one question....HOW IN THE WORLD DO YOU MAKE A PIECE OF FRUIT LOOK ATTRACTIVE???? This question has been puzzling me ever since I first saw the list and even with the picture up, I am still wondering. At my house the fruit and the ongoing option for an after school snack is and I quote, "I don't know how about an apple, orange, or a banana....I just bought some today." My sister in laws picture is so much better. She makes it look like you will enjoy eating it. Like there's a variety. An apple is what I had on hand or so to speak so....here is my semi-attractive apple. :)

Day 5 High Angle & Day 6 Low Angle

My sis-in-law and I both agreed that we would do both of these days together since they were so similar.
