10 Day You Challenge…Day 10: 1 picture of yourself!

Here is my 1 picture to complete the challenge! Sorry for the poor quality, it’s from my sisters phone right before I walked down the aisle!

10 Day You Challenge…Day 9: 2 Songs

I’m so ready for this challenge to be over with. I like having to blog everyday but these “challenges” really are hard and BORING! 1st song is easy peasy, 2nd one was a little tough but I like my decision…

1. Lady Antebellum “When You’ve Got a Good Thing.” It’s our wedding song and it still gives me goosebumps. LOVE it!

2. Randy Rogers “Kiss Me In The Dark.” This brings back so many college memories. We used to always go see them in concert when they came to the country bar in Manhattan. We were those crazy drunk girls in the front row singing our hearts out. I had a strange attraction to the fiddle player and got to meet him just a couple weeks ago (plaid shirt. Guy in black shirt and baseball hat is in the band toot).

10 Day You Challenge…Day 8: 3 Movies

Cutting to the chase, Kate Plus 8 starts in 10 min!

1. The Hangover- Hilarious. I’m always using lines from that movie…Ratard
2. Bridesmaids- Another hilarious movie. I can’t wait to buy it when it comes out
3. Spice World How to Lose a Guy  in 10 Days. Ok so I had a hard time with this and I went through our movies (which is not very many) and this one popped out. It’s good, maybe not a top 3 favorite but it will work.

10 Day You Challenge…Day 7: 4 books

This is a tough one. I don’t read books so I’m going to do magazines and a book I want to read

1. I love any celebrity magazine. US weekly, People, etc.  I hate buying magazines cause their $3-$4 and I read them in 15 min. and then throw them away. I stay up on my celebrity gossip through people.com or E! News

2. Kraft Food and Family. Great, easy recipes

3. The Knot. I don’t buy them anymore but when I was planning the wedding, this was my favorite magazine. I plan on buying The Bump and The Nest when time comes

4. I would like to read Heaven Is For Real. A true story about a 4-year old who tells stories about his trip to heaven after having a life-saving surgery.

10 Day You Challenge…Day 6: 5 Foods

Mmmmm I love food! Here are my top 5 favorite foods:

1. Cheese dip. I could eat this everyday for the rest of my life. White cheese dip is my favorite but I’ll settle for velvetta and rotel when Derek won’t take me to a Mexican restaurant for the 100th time that month (kidding).

2. Pizza Hut pizza. Yes, it must be Pizza Hut. Hand tossed pepperoni and sausage please.

3. Salsa. Can you tell I’m a Mexican fanatic? Derek and I make some stellar homemade salsa.

4. Pigs in a blanket with velvetta shells and cheese. Technically this is 2 foods but I count it as 1 because their way better that way.

5. Wings. Willie’s buffalo wings are to die for. I blame them for the 10 lbs I gained when I worked there.

This make anyone as hungry as it made me?!

10 Day You Challenge…Day 5: 6 places...and a smart dog

I got this one in the bag. I’m going to do realistic ones, ones I can see us going to in the next 20 years.

1. We want to go to Mexico again. We’d love going back to were we went for our honeymoon but part of me wants to try a new place like Cozumel or Cabo! We both agree that we will for sure do another all inclusive!

2. I want to go to a city. Either Chicago or New York. I have never been to any big city and would love to go around Christmas when their all lit up for Christmas!
3. Derek is dying to go to Colorado. They always went to Gunnison growing up so he is dying to go back. We’ve actually talked about going next summer with his parents and his sister and her family! You won’t find me in Colorado in the winter months but I don’t mind going in the summer
4. I want to go to Atlantis in the Bahamas. I think this would be such a fun family vacation.  I’ve been dying to go to this resort since I saw it on Oprah like 7 years ago. There’s an aquarium, waterpark, beaches, what more do you need?!

5.  I want to go to Disneyworld. I’ve never been and I would love to take my kids one day. Spend a few days there and then go to the beach for a few days.

6.  South Carolina. Either Myrtle Beach or Hilton Head. I have heard great things about the East coast so I would love to go visit.

*******************************

I had to share this funny story. Derek just called and said this:

D- "Your not going to beleive what your daughter did at lunch."

Me-"Elsie or Zoe?"

D-"Elsie. We were in the kitchen and she was chowing down on her dog food. She had been eating for awhile and I needed to go back to work so I said, Elsie, can you please go get in your kennel? She looked at me, then her food, then her kennel and then stuffed her mouth with more food and then ran into her kennel."

aawww such a smart, fat girl! Mommies proud :)

10 Day You Challenge….Day 4: 7 Wants

Oh yeah! This is an easy one!

1. I want to be a mom. I’ve wanted kids since I was 1 years old. Not kidding. I have always loved babies and have hoped and prayed for a big family of my own
2. I want a house!!! I’ve lived in an apartment or a rented college house for the past 7 years so I am ssssooo ready to have my own house!
3. I want to live a healthier life. I want to continue to workout and start eating more fruits, vegetables and taking vitamins.
4. I want to start going to church. Derek and I have said this for awhile now and I really want to find a good church we can join so we can become better Christians and to also meet new people
5. I want to be a better person. Who doesn’t? I want to be a better wife, sister, daughter and friend. That might mean talking on the phone (oh I hate it!), having a girls night with friends, talking more to Derek each night before we go to bed, etc.
6. I want to travel. Neither Derek nor I have traveled much so we keep coming up with places we want to visit. I don’t want our kids to stop us from this either like it does with a  lot of people. They’ll either come along or go stay with family
7. I want a cleaning lady,chef, new car, new clothes, new shoes…I’ll stop there
