Day 13

A picture of your favorite band or artist.



This is one of the only cds I have ever bought where I literally love every song on it. Their music just speaks to me and I like how the songs are pure.

Happy Birthday Joey!



Joey, today is your 4th birthday. 4 years ago today we welcomed you to the world and you have made us so happy ever since. The amount of love we have for you is unable to be put into words. At this moment you have 14 more years until you can be the boss; since you ask me everyday, "can I be the boss yet?" I think it might be a preschool thing, but just in case, 18 is when you can be the boss. We love you Joseph Benedict!

love, mom and dad

Day 12

A picture of something you love.




It is impossible for me to put into words how much I love Josh and Joey. When I try it overwhelms me with emotion and the tears flood the keyboard. I can only say I never knew it was possible to love like this.

Day 11

A picture of something you hate.




Complaining. Negativity. Whining. It's all the same to me. It drives me nuts. A little bit is ok, even healthy; but the incessant, unnecessary, constant complaining of the things we have no control over set me over the edge. It's so much easier to complain then it is to speak gratitude. Why is that? We should be praising the goodness in our lives, not dwelling on the negative. I am a glass half full kind of gal and usually look for a deeper meaning as to why things happen the way they do. My mantra: Stop complaining and go solve the problem. If you can't solve, change the way you think about it!

Day 10

A picture of someone you see yourself marrying/being with in the future.

Ok, so since you I am already married to the best person ever and we are in it for the long haul, I want to have some fun with this post. So...I am posting a picture of my "crush I could see myself with."



What can I say? I have a thing for older men. Mark Harmon from NCIS is dreamy and all man.

Day 9

A picture of the person who has gotten you through the most.



My main squeeze, my man.
Josh and I have a very special relationship. I've never met anyone else who works harder or dedicates himself more than my husband. He truly works hard everyday for his family. He supports me through my roughest times and knows when I just need to be left alone. If I ever need a laugh, he is the one to do it. We both have a weird sense of humor and its not unusual for us to be having a regular conversation only to throw in an off the wall "Family Guy" quote or something else random.

Oh yeah, and yes, 6'8" Josh can roller skate really really good. It's very eery.

Day 8

A picture that makes you laugh.



I would choose this picture! Poor Joey. This kid has some embarrassing pictures. What was supposed to be a cute picture of him getting a bath as a newborn amounted into me accidentally catching him peeing midstream. To this day I still have problems with his aim. But I have plenty of embarrassing pictures to make up for it!

Day 7

A picture that shows your true self.



This picture is circa 2005, my senior year on the volleyball team.
Let me refer you back to this day one post, bullet number 2 entitled I.AM.A.DORK! If you can't tell, this is me impersonating Chewbacca. I also can do a mean Wookie roar. Ask anyone.

Day 6

A picture of somewhere you've been.



A couple months before Joey was born we went to Hawaii. It's the second time Josh and I have gone together and we had so much fun. This picture was taken right before we went snorkeling. I hope we can go back soon.

Day 5

A picture of your favorite memory.




This past Halloween is one of my favorite memories because Josh and I both got to take Joey Trick or Treating. Normally Josh has to work on Halloween, but since it was on a Sunday this year, Josh had the day off. It was fun to dress up with Joey and for Josh to see him have so much fun. Joey was adamant about being a blue dinosaur for Halloween and it proved very difficult to find a costume that fit that criteria. We ended up finding the one he is wearing on Amazon.com. It was a size or two too small, but Joey didn't mind. This was the first year that Joey really did understand the concept of Trick or Treating and to see that smile on his face as he ran from house to house was priceless.

Day 04

A picture of your night.



Our nights typically consist of hanging around the house. Joey likes to take my ipod and try to watch a movie in the cupboard when he knows it's near bedtime.
