Day 7 of the 30 Day Picture Challenge

Day 7: A picture of your most treasured item.

While I do treasure many items in my life, I have to say that my computer is probably one of the most important ones to me currently, however not simply because it's a piece of technology. Despite it being just a bunch of metal and wires put together in the shape of a box/book, the reason I treasure my computer, or really technology as a whole, is because it allows me to have constant contact with countless friends all at once. Some of my closest friends live in Texas, Minnesota, Tennessee, Georgia, South Carolina, and North Carolina, and without a computer or phone it would be hard to contact one another.
However, apart from allowing me to easily communicate with friends, my computer has also been a wonderful tool to help me do my best with any project, wether it be for school or simply for fun. It's definitely been a blessing to own. <3

Day 6 of the 30 Day Picture Challenge

Day 6: A picture of the person you'd love to trade places with for a day.

For those of you who are asking yourselves, "Is that a stuffed frog?" yes. Yes it is. While traveling with ICC, our team had a "mascot," so to speak, named "Mr. Froggers." Whenever something was wrong, he was always there to "listen" to our complaints. While he may not be a real person, it would be really interesting to become Mr. Froggers for a day. Not because I want to be a stuffed animal when I grow up, but because he was a source of comfort to the girls on our team. I remember numerous times when some one was stressed they would just spend a few minutes with Mr. Froggers and everything would be better. If possible, I would love to become that source of comfort and encouragement to my friends and family. Even if only for a day. <3

Day 5 of the 30 Day Picture Challenge

Day 5: A picture of your favorite memory.

About 2 years ago, my friend Kember and I decided that we were going to compete in the speech category, "Duo Interpretation" together.
Skip to our first tournament, we made a LOT of mistakes, changed a couple lines, made some new blocking, and qualified to Regionals. Stunned and excited could not describe how we felt. Now that we are on our second year of competition together, we've made some pretty interesting memories to say the least...
However, the reason our Duo journey has become one of my favorite high school memories, is simply because we were able help each other do our best as a team. We were able to overcome some of our fears as a team. We were able to achieve our goals as a team. There's nothing quite like competing with a partner, especially when your partner is just as random, weird, and "special" as you. <3

Day 4 of the 30 Day Picture Challenge

Day 4: A picture of your favorite night.

This particular evening was one were I was able to talk with my close friend who live in a completely different state, for the first time in quite a while. She's amazing. While this may not be a picture of my absolute favorite night ever, it is a picture of my favorite kind of night. A night where I am able to talk, or communicate in some way, with a friend. Looking back at my life, there is no one night that stands out above all others as being special and meaningful to me, however there are many nights that are important to me. All of which are ones that are spent with my friends and family (related by blood, or related by heart). <3

Day 3 of the 30 Day Picture Challenge

3: A picture of the cast from your favorite show.

Being the not-so-average millennial that I am, I actually do not enjoy watching TV very often, so I don't have a favorite show... However, I do love Disney's recent movie called, "Tangled."
When I was little, I always wanted to grow my hair out as long as possible, and found the story of Rapunzel interesting and fun. Having some personal ties to the original storyline, plus getting to see it for the first time after spending the entire day with my mom, made it one of my current favorites. <3
If you have not yet had the opportunity to see "Tangled" I would absolutely recommend it as a fun movie that is appropriate for all ages.

Day 2 of the 30 Day Picture Challenge

Day 2: A picture of you with the person you have been closest with the longest.

It's not exactly the most recent picture, however it's certainly one of the best I have of myself and Rachel. She has been an incredible friend of mine for over 10 years now, and we have shared some the most.... interesting memories. Despite not being able to talk or see each other much, she's still an important friend of mine. ^-^

ps: beware if we're on the same team in catchphrase... it will be random, and it will be awesome. <3

Day 1 of the 30 Day Picture Challenge

Today I made a life changing decision: I have decide to conform to the ways of others and partake in the 30 Day Picture Challenge. For 30 days, or one month, I'll be, hopefully, posting some interesting pictures and stories. If you've ever done anything crazy with me, be afraid, you may just receive a special appearance ;)

Day 1: A Picture of Yourself With 10 Facts.

I love music and colors. My favorite animal is a lemur. My favorite numbers are 2 & 5 {thank you ICC <3}. Despite learning karate for 8 years in two styles, I hate fighting. I have helped with more weddings then I have been invited to. In a 4 month timespan I visited 3/5 of our United States (No, Hawaii and Alaska were not in the mix). I LOVE playing the Nancy Drew computer games. I am the daughter of a picture Nazi. My favorite "sport" is forensics (communication/speech and debate).
I am, and will always be, an unashamed follower of Christ.

Despite my geeky-nerdy-abnormal-ness, I truly love my friends and family, and can't wait to share more memories throughout the next 30 days <3
