ok time to announce week 3’s topic for my Project 52! This week will be fish
I think I’ve been fishing like 2 whole times in my life- and I’m horrible! One time I kept breaking the line and then other time, I didn’t catch a thing, but I have a great idea of this week and it might not be what you’re thinking friends! So FISH is the topic…..
Now, onto another thought direction. Yesterday I turned 31! Thank you to all of my friends and family who thoughtfully wished me a happy birthday. It was greatly appreciated. I thought in celebration of my birthday, I’d list 31 things about me. Some people may know these things, some people may not- I think a few are deep dark secrets of mine, but it’s something for me to look back on- say when I’m 41- to remember how I was when I turned 31. These are totally random…
1. I remember 15 years ago like it was yesterday and often wonder where all the time has gone.
2. I absolutely love when Nathan massages my hands and wrists- weird I know, but I could let him do it for hours and hours and never get enough.
3. I’ve recently been craving salads of all sorts! chicken cesar, bacon salad, strawberry and baby spinach, chef- at least it goes along with my healty habits of 2010!
4. I recently got SO excited because I got a bunch of awesome shirts for only $1.74 each and a $100 coat for $35- gotta love end of year clearance sales!
5. I secretly love the salt and pepper mix that Nathan is getting in his hair and think it’s sexy (I guess it’s not so secret anymore)
6. Being a mother is the hardest thing ever but the greatest thing ever too- I’ve learned to be less selfish.
7. I think I have some of the best friends in the whole world and am so excited that we all get to stay here for shore duty!
8. I hate the sound of cracking knuckles or toes- it makes me want to vomit!
9. I miss my brother Jared in Canada and can’t wait to go get him in a year to come home!
10. When my dad called to wish me happy birthday, my heart was sad because I thought it could really be the last birthday he wishes me with his voice. I hope that isn’t the case but I think about those things a lot.
11. I love it when my two year old tells me he loves my blanket and he misses me.
12. I’d really love to coach a cheerleading team sometime in the future.
13. My desk really needs my attention in a bad, bad way…it’s a small mountain of papers and things and it’s driving me crazy!
14. I’m excited to go to WPPI this year with Nathan!
15. I love that my little Riley loves to give gifts as much as me- he’s definitely a little me in male form.
16. Shannon’s fruit tart is quite possibly the best dessert I’ve ever tasted in my whole life, and I’m not a big sweet person.
17. If I could be certain that I’d have a baby girl that looked exactly like Danika, complete with big chunky baby legs, I’d have another in a heart beat!
18. Someday I’d like to meet all the awesome friends I’ve met online through photography- and YES I do consider them friends even though we’ve never met in person!
19. This year I’m going to get a bike, ride it with my kids and let the wind blow through my hair at fast speeds, I miss that.
20. I used to be a nanny in Connecticut when I was 18 years old for about 6 months and sometimes wonder what the little girl I took care of is doing now.
21. I need to work on taking more pictures of my kids and displaying them in my home.
22. I love Pina Coladas- virgin of course.
23. Sometimes I feel bad about the thoughts I have of others.
24. I love that my Braedon is a thoughtful, loving boy and can’t believe how fast he’s growing up!
25. When I was 25 I thought I was in the profession that I was going to be in for the rest of my life, now I feel the same about photography, and wonder if in another 10 years I’ll feel the same or be on to something else.
26. I’m feeling the itch to redo my bedroom.
27. When I graduated from high school I was going to go to the University of Cincinnati for a music degree- I wanted to teach music.
28. I’ve lived in 9 states over my lifetime.
29. When I go into retail stores I still fight the urge to finger space the hangers on a rack of clothes and size order them.
30. I want to go to Bora Bora within the next 10 years.
31. I love my life!- the good the bad, the difficult times and the amazing times, but I look forward to 8pm every night when my kids are tucked safely into bed and my house is quiet….I like the quiet!
And here’s an image I found from this summer! This is my cousin Michelle, and at a wedding I snapped a picture of her and her husband. I just loved how he was looking at her!
