30 DBC: Day 6♥

This has to be the easiest day for the challenge so far! There are of course a lot of things that make me happy. It might be best to start with a small list of everything except for my number one... I'll save that for last!

Jesus Christ
Running
Coffee (only with MY creamer!)
Cooking
Blogging
Puppy breath
Tattoos
Music
Shopping
Hot showers (in peace)
Sunshine

...seriously this could be endless. Lets just get to the goods! The one thing in this world that makes me happy more than anything else...

My family!!
(my husband, my children and my dogs)

30 DBC: Day 5♥

I am the second to the youngest of 5 kids. I have two older brothers, an older sister and a younger sister. There is a decent age gap in us all. The older 4 of us have about 3-4 years between each of us, and there are 9 years between me and my younger sister. I wish I had a current picture of all of us together, but sadly, I dont. We all live far apart and we are never all in the same place at once anymore.
Stephanie, the oldest (but coolest) lives in Kentucky with her family. She has two awesome kids who have seriously grown up WAY too dang fast and I hate that I have missed pretty much all of it. My nephew is off to college next year.

*sigh*

How did that happen?? Anyway, Todd is next who has got to be the luckiest out of all of us. He managed to land and amazing wife and they just welcomed their 3rd blessing into the world, their first baby girl.

Cameron... what can I say about Cameron? He is the closest in age to me, so growing up he was the one I clung to the most. This is the brother who got into a fight at the playground because some kid made the comment that my hair must have been bleached. Haha! He has always been like the protector. At least for me! He has 3 great kids who have just the most amazing hearts of any kids I know.

My little sister Courtneay is 9 years younger than me. She is the baby of the family in every sense of the word! Even though she has had a rough few years in coming into her own and learning about life, I am hopeful that it is just the road to great things for her.

I wouldn't say that any of us are extremely close to one another, but we do all love each other very much, and there is nothing we wouldn't do for the others. Life has set us all on very different paths and we have grown into such different people despite being raised in the same house. But if we were all the same... how boring would that be??

30DBG: Day 4♥

My parents are truly the mold that I came from. I see bits and pieces of them in me everyday. Some pieces that I swore I'd never get! Haha :) Growing up, my dad was in the Navy so there were times that he would be gone, and I wouldn't say that we had a lavish lifestyle, but I was never really wanting for anything. Everything I needed was always provided for me, even if it meant they went without. They sacrificed so much for me (and my siblings) and I only hope that I can do the same for my kids. Mom is the one I can talk to about anything, and Dad is the one I can always lean on without saying a word.
