Day 6 is a treasure

Ah it's the weekend. The glorious, glorious weekend.I hope you all had a nice Friday night.
Mine was pretty great! Michael had the chance to sing at a restaurant and we each got a free 5 course Italian dinner out of it! It was very nice. He did a great job singing, the food was delicious, our parents, my grandma, my sister and her husband all came along as well. It was a fun night.I just love listening to him sing.
The photo prompt for today is a picture of a person you would love to trade places with for a day.
There are many women throughout history to now that I admire and would love to spend time with such as Susan B. Anthony, Dorothea Lange, Oprah Winfrey (she gets on my nerves at times, but I respect her), Mother Teresa, Emma Smith, Marie Curie, Amelia Earhart, Mary Cassatt, Maggie O'Kane, Georgia O'Keeffe, Meryl Streep, Audrey Hepburn, Jane Goodall, Maya Lin, Harriet Tubman, Nellie Bly, Jacqueline Kennedy, Carrie Chapman Catt, Eve Ensler, J.K. Rowling and many others. 
Those are all women that I admire, and I wish I could have conversations with all of them, but who would I want to trade places with?

 I thought I would trade places with Jane Goodall because then I would have the opportunity to spend time with chimpanzees, and work to help save them. I love animals. 

Or I would want to trade places with Maggie O'Kane because she is a very brave strong individual, she is a wonderful journalists and has traveled all over the world to cover important stories which is something I used to want to do. 

However, if I could trade places with anyone (even if they have passed away) I would choose Audrey Hepburn because she was such an inspiring, kind hearted individual. She was not only a great dancer, singer and actor she also devoted much of her time, energy and life to humanitarian causes such as the UNICEF. She is a wonderful example.
As fun as it was to try and think of who I would trade places with, I have no desire to really trade places with anyone :-) I'm very happy.
I'm curious, who would you trade places with for a day?

ps. As tomorrow is Sunday, which is a very busy day for me, I won't be blogging, so you'll have to wait until Monday for day 7. :)

Day 5 is a Treasure

I didn't realize my picture yesterday was cut off, so it is fixed now in case any of you were wondering :-)
Today the prompt is a picture of your favorite memory.
I'm sure I'm like all of you when I say that I have many favored memories.
All of mine and Michaels "firsts" are some of my favorite memories, but I don't have pictures of those things. The first date, the first time we held hands, our first kiss, our first dance... you get the idea ;-) and since I can't show you all of those things, I made a collage of some of my other favorite memories

1.When Michael proposed, 2. when we got married, 3. performing on stage, 4. Michael singing to me, 5. being silly together, 6. traveling to St. George, 7. going to Disney Land, 8. winning my playwright award, 9. our honeymoon, 10. trying new things -like 4-wheeling, 11. dancing with my dad, 12. being silly with my siblings, 13. being in Mexico with Michael. 
I'm rather indecisive about these things. I'm very blessed, and I am having a hard time picking just one memory so I do hope you enjoyed seeing quite a few.
Many of my favorite memories aren't specific things, but more like feelings. Such as being silly with Michael, we laugh often together, and we have a lot of fun. I don't have a specific moment in mind, but those times together are all my favorite :-)
Even when specific details are forgotten, the feelings that are shared (especially those shared often) are what will be remembered :-)
What are some of your favorite memories?

Day 4 is a Treasure

The prompt today is a picture of your perfect day.
I've had many nearly perfect days, and some that felt perfect as well! So instead of choosing one day, I'm compiling -with my limited editing skills-some elements from those days. If they could all be mixed together it would be a "perfect day" for me.

My perfect day would include not having to work and being able to spend the entire day with Michael. It would also include swimming in the nice sun warmed lake at St. George, being in Disneyland for a few hours, eating at Anasazi in St. George- they have the best fondue I've ever tasted. It would also involve getting red mango, eating chocolate covered strawberries, listening to Michael sing, dancing and not getting tired, listening to music that has real meaning, playing a few board or card games with close family and friends. It might also include writing a letter longhand without my hand getting cramped, or maybe creating a beautiful piece of jewelry. And it would definitely end with cuddling on the couch with Michael and reading some of my favorite books.
But really, I don't need to do all of those things for a day to be perfect :-)I would be happy to simply spend the entire day with Michael. Anything else would just be a bonus ;-)
If you could do anything without getting tired, what would your perfect day include?

Day 3 is a Treasure

 Thank you everyone who participates in Small Treasure Tuesdays! You guys are awesome :-)and you can still link up if you want
Today is day 3 of my photo challenge, and good news! My sister Amber and my sister-in-law Annie are thinking about joining in on the challenge as well! I'll let you know if they do. :-)
Today the prompt is a picture of the cast from your favorite t.v. showI like watching t.v. and movies. We use Netflix however, we don't ever plan on getting cable. I like it a lot, I would highly recommend netflix to everyone
I just grabbed these photos off the interweb, I hope you can see them clearly

And I hope it isn't too small for you guys to see my mad editing skills :-P

I enjoy watching pretty much anything entertaining, and it was too hard to pick one favorite.

Here are the ones I chose, The Office, Bones, Psych, 30 Rock and House before they got rid of Kutner and 13. Getting rid of those two was the worst things that ever happened to the show I think.

Other shows I enjoy include Monk, Leverage, West Wing, Pushing Daisies, Better off Ted and 3rd Rock from the Sun.

What are some of your favorite shows?

 Michael is my best friend, and I love him dearly. I honestly could not imagine a better eternal companion for me. I'm more comfortable with him than I've ever been with anyone. I can tell him anything, and I know I never have to worry about him judging me. As corny as it may sound, he completes me, he's my other half :-D

Day 1 A picture of me

It's day 1 of my 35 photos in 35 days challenge!
Today the prompt is a picture of you with 15 facts

 This is a picture from when my sister and I went to Florida together

I chose it because it shows my goofy side :-P

And now for those 15 facts:

1. I am 5 ft tall on a good day, though sometimes I measure a little under

2. I absolutely love being married to Michael and I couldn't imagine a better husband for me

3. I love watching documentaries and learning new sides to issues

4. I drink from a glass water bottle because I don't agree with the practices of plastic water bottle companies.

5. Now that I've done it a few times I really like cutting my own hair

6. I am an avid reader, it's one of my favorite things to do. I hope to write and publish a book someday

7. I have two sisters and two brothers that I adore. And as of almost two years ago I have some pretty rad step-siblings, nieces and nephews as well

8. I enjoy going to school and learning, but I'm getting kind of tired of it right now

9. I love vintage clothing, jewelry and cars

10. It used to bug me when people begin to celebrate Christmas before Thanksgiving, but now I say to each his own

11. I like listening to all types of music, and I'm constantly finding new bands/artists that I enjoy

12. I have a fondness for buying from antique and vintage shops, even though I rarely do it

13. I have a problem with procrastination that I am fighting to overcome. Acceptance is the first step right? ;-)

14. I look forward to one day having kids with Michael. He will make the greatest dad.

15. I am a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, and it is a wonderful religion. I'm the person I am today because of it. :-)
