Day 2--- A photo of yourself a year ago

This picture was taken in February 2010. My family (except Hillary, she was still living in Arizona at the time) got tickets to see Brian Reagan, the family-friendly comedian that appeals to most LDS people, when he came to Salt Lake. It was such a fun night and I was grateful that I could spend the night with my family doing what we do best...laughing! I love spending time with my family and making new memories that we will someday look back on and say, "remember that time...". I didn't grow up around my dad, stepmom, or siblings, so I don't have very many memories with them. Now that I live up here with them, I try to make extra memories to try and compensate for the ones I missed out on.
This was also the night that sprouted one of my favorite memories of the last year. I came up with an awesome April Fool's prank of being engaged. My sister, Erin, and I (with the help of my brothers) came up with this guys name, major, sports he enjoyed, how we met, how he propose... blah, blah blah. It was hilarious! (The prank ended up working out really well. Everyone fell for it! Now I'm stuck trying to find something to top it for this year...hmm.) All in all, it was a great night spent with some of my favorite people in the world!

30 days-30 pictures-30 things to learn about me!

Okay, so I saw on FB (which is short for facebook,if you didn't know!) about a 30 day photo challenge. I think it's a fun way to tell people about me, my life, and my past experiences in a fun and unique way. I am determined to do it, and challenge others to do so as well! :)
Day 1. Facebook profile picture.


This is my little cousin Camille. She is the cutest little girl I know, and reminds me so much of myself as a child (mostly in the looks department). In this picture we are at my/our grandparent's house on Christmas Eve waiting to open presents. We were both pretty impatient (more me than her. I absolutely LOVE Christmas and HATE suspense) about undoing the precisely wrapped gifts from grandparents and cousins, so we made "monkey" faces at each other to pass the time. Isn't she a doll??
