Day 22-a picture of your future wedding

I am not one of those girls who has the details of my wedding already planned. I do however really love sunflowers and would like to incorporate them into my wedding somehow. Here are some fun ideas that I like. I want the bridesmaids to wear brown dresses like this picture shows a little.

Day 21-a hobby of yours

Yes my hobby is watching sports! I love to do it, especially when my cougs win! Last night, my gentleman friend realized just how crazy I get while watching BYU sports. I am still not sure if he likes the crazy Karlie or if he is afraid of the crazy Karlie. I would be scared personally ;)

Day 20-a talent of yours

I know I look ridiculous in this picture but this is my "award" for passing my praxis. I like to think that teaching is my talent because I happen to be good at it!

Day 19-a photo of a place you would like to travel to

My students are doing their big country reports and it is making me want to travel like crazy! The one that I have loved the most, and this might be because of the cold weather here, but I would love to go to the Bahamas!

Day 18- a photo of a favorite memory

I have so many good memories, but the day that this little guy was born was one of them. I LOVE being an aunt, even with my only niece and nephew so far away. They just make my heart happy. I loved when his big sister was born too!

Day 17-your favorite website

Sad I know, but I love facebook. Not to the point where I am on it everyday for hours, but I just love to see what people are up to and get updates. I also LOVE looking at pictures. I would even look at pictures of people I don't know. I am just weird like that.

Day 16-a song that makes you cry

I already love this song, but this version just tugs at my heart strings and makes me cry a little every time!

Day 15-a photo of yourself and a new friend you met this year

For fear of making people gag, I will refrain from talking about how incredible this new friend is. I will just say that I am one lucky girl! I am treated like a queen and I love that we truly are friends and that we can talk to each other for hours and it feels like minutes. Okay, okay I know I promised not to gush. Anyway, I am sure glad that I met and made friends with this incredible man this year.

P.S. Sorry about the quality. They are pictures of pictures.

Day 14- a photo of a person you would like to trade places with for a day

It is not that I think her life is perfect by any means. I just wouldn't mind looking like this for a day! I think she is so beautiful and so funny!

Day 13-a description of what is in your purse

My purse is pretty boring because I am not really a "purse carrying girl." Here is a list of what is in it right this second.

-my ipod
-my phone
-my chapstick
-my wallet
-a pack of gum
-compact powder
-my class list (why I don't know)
-flash drive.

Why yes my life is so exotic thanks for asking!

Day 12-something you are OCD about

I do not lay my head on my pillow to sleep without crossing my day off the calendar. It gives me a sense of accomplishment that I made it through another day and that I did a lot that day! I am also the countdown queen and always looking to the future (something I am working on), so I like to see how much of the month I have accomplished already. I get made fun of for it by a certain gentleman in my life, but what can you do? ;)

p.s. I am OCD about a lot of things, but this one was my favorite.

Day 11- a photo that makes you angry/sad

This makes me sad for people who have to be in floods and who lose things. There were not a lot of pictures that make me mad or sad, but this one was on MSN and it made me sad so there you go!

Day 10-a photo that makes you happy

How could this picture not make you happy? I had the privilege of skyping with this little one yesterday and she was so tickled to see her grandpa and love on him. She called me crazy and she called him sexy, which was amusing. The thing I love most about her is that she cracks herself up and she loves to laugh! That is a quality that her and I share so we end up laughing at each other a lot. I hope this picture made your day better!

Day 9-your dream house

Cheesy I know, but I am living in it. I moved around ALOT growing up and we always had to worry about the furniture and how we treated it because it was not ours. I guess it taught us amazing manners, but anyway, it made me always just want a house to call MINE. So while it is not a perfect house, it is my dream house because it is mine and so is all the stuff in it!

Day 8-your favorite quote

Okay so I fail at the whole blogging thing. I have been ridiculously busy and I keep adding things to my schedule to do and blogging has just not been on the top of my to do list. Plus I am not a "quote" lover person so this day was going to be hard for me. My students did biographies for their January book reports and one of my students did Helen Keller. I really loved this quote by her...

“When one door of happiness closes, another opens; but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one which has been opened for us.”

This is the story of my life, but I have really been working on it lately so hopefully I will start to see the open doors for me!
