I love this picture of me...I was such a little cutie.

I hated dresses! But somehow my mom got us to wear these poofy dresses on Eater Sunday.

Day 4

Day 4: A photo of your favorite musician/band

This is a hard one. I have lots and lots of "favorite" bands and they change every 6 months or so. But here's two that are always in my top favs.

Day 3

Day 3: A picture that makes you smile

Family summer vacations in the dodge van are some of my fondest memories. We went everywhere in that van between Seattle and the midwest. From the Oregon coast to the endless corn fields of Nebraska, the Redwood forest, Mt. Rushmore, coral pink sand dunes, just to name a few places.

This particular photo was taken in 1986 near Salt Lake City at the McEntire's house after a week or so of playing with cousins. I looked forward to these 2 week long road trips every year! Who needs airplanes when you can go 55 mph in the Dodge???

Day 2

Day 2: A picture of yourself a year ago.

This picture was taken down at the Green River Gorge in late March 2010. We went down there with a group of friends/family, hiked around, and got caught in a huge rain squall. But it was a lot of fun to see what that area is like when the river is super high. Jaime and I both love the GR Gorge because it is where we spent a lot of time together when we first met and started dating.

Day 1

I'm doing one of these "Photo Challenges on facebook but thought I'd join in on the ones on Blogger too. I'm having quite a bit of fun going through old photos and picking out which one to post for the category given.

So here we go!

Day 1 - Your current Facebook profile picture.

This picture was taken last spring sometime while riding up at the track at Ravensdale. It was an unseasonably warm enough day that we were riding in t-shirts/tank tops and shorts. Jaime and I were taking a quick break and talking to Bryan Davis (Dustin's brother) who was visiting from Nebraska. We had a group of about 7 people riding with us that day. Good times!

Valentines Day 2011

Jaime and I have never been big on celebrating Valentine's Day but this year he really surprised me so I thought I'd write a quick note about it. It was on a weekday so I worked all day and I assumed we would just do something on the weekend or just let it pass by as another day of the week.

Throughout the day, I worked on a letter to give to Jaime just to tell him how much I appreciate him and all that he does for me. It was pretty lengthy and took the majority of my "in-between patient time" during the day to write it. When I got home from work, the house was completely dark and I figured Jaime was in the garage working on the Chevelle or Nova. I walked in the front door and the house smelled amazing! It smelled like a hot cooked dinner and scented candles (surprisingly the combined smells wasn't weird). He had cleaned the whole house and had candles lit all over. He had a candlelit dinner all set up for me and blue flowers.

I was kind of in shock but we had a really nice dinner together. Then he brought out a Dairy Queen oreo ice cream cake!! I think I may have squealed in excitement. We had a little bit of dessert and then he told me he wasn't done yet. He told me to head upstairs, there were rose pedals all over the floor leading upstairs and candles lit up to the bedroom (which he cleaned too!!). He had more candles and rose pedals in the bedroom, (I'm so glad he didn't burn the house down with all these candles) and hot oil massage stuff all set up. It was exactly what I needed after the long day at work.

Later we just watched a movie in bed and finished eating most of the ice cream cake. Now my gift seemed super lame, but I gave him his letter which he appreciated. It was definitely a Valentine's Day to remember! The last one I remember we did anything "cool" was back before we got married in 2004. I love him so much and am so proud of who he has become. I'm glad he is my husband and he chose me to be his wife.
