1} What kind of hair (color/cut) have you always wanted but never had the nerve to do it?

I like my brunette colored hair, but wish I looked better in darker colors of brunette. I love the deep dark chocolate browns. I also would love to have long semi-curly hair...but my hair is too thin...I'll never get to that point.  :)

2} If you haven't been/or could do it over, where would/did you go on your honeymoon?

I have always wanted to go to a resort in the Caribbean Islands. Now, if I got to pick ANYWHERE, I'd probably choose Fiji or Bora Bora or something.  :)

3} What is your dream car?

I love the new Ford Edge's. However, I also love the Lexus SUV's. I'm an SUV girl...as long as it's not HUGE, I'm a fan.

4} If you could move anywhere in the world, where would you go?

I'd love to live somewhere that is warm all year long...however, I've become a huge fan of the seasons lately, and have an appreciation for them. Plus, I love living close to family. So, wherever my family goes, I'd be content.

5} What famous lady would you love to be or be bff with?

I love Carrie Underwood. I think she has awesome morals and values in her life...and I love her voice! She has a good head on her shoulders.

6} What colors did you do or do you want to do for your wedding?

I have this grand idea of what I want the colors of my wedding to be in my head, however, I'm so open to hearing what my future husband likes...as well as the time of year that we get married, and what colors would look best. So, I'm not really set on anything specific.

7} What trashy reality show are you embarrassingly addicted to? 

I am addicted to The Bachelor/ette for sure. Luckily with not having much time to watch TV, that is the only one. But, I do love it.  :)

8} Do you remember your first kiss? How old were you and how awkward was it?

Yes, I do, actually. I was probably 17, I'm guessing...and honestly, it wasn't that awkward.

9} What is your guilty pleasure?

Either Caramel White Mocha Misto's from Starbucks, or Chicken Burrito Bowl from Chipotle.  :)

10} What is your favorite chick flick?

I'd have to say, How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days. Love that movie.  :)

11} What is your favorite beverage?

Fountain Pop Sprite from Mcdonalds...or my Starbucks coffee.  :)

12} What is your theme song?

Haha, I have NO idea...I'm sure there are lots that fit me, but I can't pick one.  :)

13} Who is your style icon?

I don't necessarily have an icon that I look to for my style. I usually tend to go with the flow and find what fits my body best for the current style that is in. I'm not a trend setter, that's for sure.  :)

14} When was the last time you cried and why?

Um...last night. Lots of unknowns in my life right now...trying to figure out this thing called life.

15} What playlist/cd is on your cd player/iPod right now?

I tend to listen to Tenth Avenue North lately, or my India playlist on my iPod. I go in phases, so it may be completely different next week.  :)

16} What is your favorite dessert?

Warm Apple Pie or Apple Crisp...I LOVE THEM...however, I can't eat them anymore..so I really miss them as well.

f.u.n.

I have a pile of random photos of my nephew that keep building and building up...however, there isn't just one good post to put them all in. So, I decided to create a "fun" post where I'm going to update you with some of the most adorable pictures of my nephew. I know I share a lot of photos of him on here, but he is a huge part of my life, therefore what I take most of my photos of lately.  :)  So, that is why you get so many adorable photos of him. I promise once I get out of my funk, that I'll start my blogging up again...and about real things happening in my life. However, right now, I'm pretty sure you'd rather see these photos then listen to me.  :)  So, enjoy!

tomorrow will be better...

ever have days where nothing goes right? and then you start thinking about everything going wrong in your life, and it seems like its 10 times more wrong today just because your having a bad day. yep, thats me today. i have a lot on my mind lately it seems, and it's just progressively getting worse. i'm just gonna keep praying that things get better. and that i fully realize the positives in my life instead of focusing on the negatives. but until then, i'm just going to keep focus on moving forward...back up the mountain and out of this deep dark valley...to where the sunshine is.

p.s. i totally was going to have a fun, cute and quirky post today...however my heart just wasn't in it. promises for a great post later this week!

pool party!

a couple weekends ago, my aunt & uncle invited our family over to their house to go swimming and cook out! it is nearing the end of summer, so it was a great excuse to enjoy the pool and just relax. brayden is such a little fish that he LOVED being in the water and having lots of fun with his cousins! it's sad that summer is winding down and the warm days will be going away fast.  :(  however, i'll be really happy to not be so crazy busy all the time!  :) enjoy some pictures from this fun filled pool party!!!  :)

update: this crazy thing called life

wow...it has been one crazy summer! i am always on the go lately and haven't had much time to keep up on my blog! hopefully i can update you on the past month of my life in this blog post, and not have it be forever long. :) no promises though...:)

3 weekends ago, my family traveled to port huron, mi for my cousin kristi's wedding. it was definitely a long drive, however, it was good to see my extended family again. usually summers are the only time that we get to see them so often, so we definitely soak in as much time as we can with them. kristi was a beautiful bride and it was so good to be able to go to her wedding and join in on the celebration for her! i didn't take any pictures..:( which is terrible of me. sorry. :)

2 weekends ago, we had our annual family reunion up in grand rapids, mi. i always love going to this as it is a lot of fun to enjoy our extended family again, and also hanging out with our 2nd cousins. not many families get to do this, and i'm happy that our family is so close. we always enjoy swimming all weekend long as well as eating out ALOT. our family loves food.  :) i didn't take many pictures of this weekend either, as my aunt sue was snapping away like crazy. so, i just enjoyed another weekend of not taking many pictures. here are a few though...:)

last weekend i went to grand haven, mi for coastguard festival. this is always something extremely fun that we like to do. we go out on my cousins boat and go riding in spring lake for a while, and then we end up at a cove in the lake called hanky panky. it's a cove where about 400 boats all tie up to each other and just have fun. it's always a crazy time, and you definitely get lots of sun. it was a LONG day, but always a blast.  :)

that's it for now. i have much more to share of my eventful weekends, but didn't want to bombard you with it all in one post. plus, this will keep you on your toes waiting to see what comes next!  :) summer's fading fast! gotta keep busy!  :)

What a summer! I apologize that I haven't updated in awhile, but this summer has been B.U.S.Y! I usually am working all week long, and my weekends are packed full of family reunions, vacations, weddings, anything you can imagine.

I promise, I will post another blog soon...once my life slows down. I'm trying to kick this sickness as well, which has made me very unmotivated to do anything. So bear with me...:)

Great pictures to come and more and exciting things about my summer!
