Day 8- Something I Crave

Day 7- A piece of art

The Storm by Jim Booth

My awesome husband gave me this on our wedding day. I had wanted it for years, and every time we saw it somewhere I told him that I wanted to own a copy of it one day.




Bryan`s grandfather Bebop painted this one. It`s called San Francisco Evening.

Day 6- A fun fact about me

I skipped a day. Whoops.

I`ve been having trouble coming up with a fun fact about myself, so I recruited people.

Bryan said I should say I sing Sesame Street songs to myself in the shower. And yep, I do, when I can`t get them out of my head, which is often.

I have never been able to wink.

I always turn on one of the Twilight movies or This Is It when I am cooking dinner or doing housework.

DAY 5- A Favorite Quote

The first one comes from my paternal grandfather, Bestefar.

At every family dinner, as soon as the prayer blessing the food was over, he would say in a booming voice, "Eat hearty, folks!"

"Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away."
— Maya Angelou


"Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened."
— Dr. Seuss

I`m a Beautiful Blogger!

My awesome cousin Laci nominated me for the Beautiful Blogger Award. Thanks Laci!

The rules of this tag are to share 7 things about yourself, and then nominate 5 other beautiful bloggers.

My 7 things:

1. I want to learn 3 languages, Portuguese, Italian, and Norwegian. I want to learn Portuguese so my dad and I can converse in it. He learned it when he lived in Brazil for 2 years. Now he lives in Mozambique, another Portuguese speaking country. My reason for wanting to speak Italian is that I think it is just such a beautiful language, and when I visit Italy someday, I want to be able to understand what people are saying. My reason for wanting to speak Norwegian is that my paternal grandfather spoke it, and over the years he taught us various phrases in Norwegian and would also tell us stories and sing to us in Norwegian.

2. I love to take pictures, and want to own a really awesome camera one day.

3. I really want to have two daughters close together. I`m hoping this will make them great friends and that they`ll want to do a lot together.

4. I love tiramisu.

5. I am SCARED TO DEATH of the dark. Recently a friend reminded me that I always slept with a light on as a teenager. I still do. Ya`ll can laugh at me. I think it`s funny.

6. I am SO ticklish that it`s not funny. I really hate to be tickled. Someone has to barely touch me in one of my ticklish spots and I squirm away and start howling with laughter. This irritates Bryan a lot. He can`t even hug me without me laughing and trying to get away because I think he`s going to tickle me.

7. I want a Yukon Hybrid if I ever have enough youngins to fill it with.

I nominate:

My cousin Shay
My friend Stacy
My cousin Vanessa
My cousin Hillary
My friend Lacey

They were all chosen because they are all awesome. I love reading their blogs. Narrowing it down was difficult, though. I have a lot of awesome family and friends.

Day 4- A Favorite Book

Read them if you haven`t.

I think he might be smarter than me....

I left my laptop closed on my bed one day, and came back in a few minutes later to find this...



He was trying to find Chip and Dale on YouTube. He was doing pretty good, he got the internet up.
