UBC Day 6

This is my 300th Post! Dang. I should probably give my blog a new look. Even though I sort of gave it a makeover when I got married. But I want to figure out how to make two side bars on my blog. One on each side. Someone should hook me up with a tutorial for that. PLEASE :)

Day 6 — Write a letter to: A stranger


Dear stranger that decided to stop my birthdaughter and her mom at Walmart,

I know there were two people that stopped them at Walmart on my birthdaughter's first birthday. I'm not talking about the sweet redheaded girl who stopped them. I'm talking about the one who decided she couldn't keep her mouth shut. The one who is anti-adoption and decided it was okay to share her opinion and how adoption is wrong. Are you kidding me? Of ALL days to stop them you decided to do it on my birthdaughter's first birthday? First of all, they didn't even know you. I don't even know you. But you decided to give an impression that you have no common courtesy and only care about yourself. Why would you even share your views to someone who clearly is for adoption and has adopted? And I know you read my blog or else you wouldn't have stopped them in a public place. If you have any opinions about my blog or about adoption. You can bring them up with ME. You were WAY out of line and yes, I'm going to stick up for them because they are family to me. They are the ones raising my daughter when I know I wouldn't give her the best possible life. Will you PLEASE tell me that's so totally wrong? It's not like they bought her off of me or snatched her out of my arms. I willing and lovingly placed her in their arms. If I were you and you recgonized them, I would've just walked on by. Because really, they could've gone on with their lives without you and you could've done the same without them in your life. So please, spare me your opinion and don't even bother telling me it to me. I can do without you in my life. If you or any of you reading this are anti-adoption then click the "x" in the right hand corner of your screen. I didn't invite you to read this. Yes, it is an open blog but give me a break I can't help it if you happen to come across it. If you really have an issue then you can go find an anti-adoption blog or website and cry your feelings out there because I don't care about you and don't even bother want to waste my time with you. Thanks! Have a great day!

Tell me: A song that reminds of you of somewhere
The story behind this that it reminds me of somewhere. It's just funny. I was in Oregon right after I had Olivia. Me and my sister were driving and we got lost and we ended up going to the Washington border and drove through Seattle and this song came on my ipod.


I want to know: Your favorite music video.


Show me A photo of an animal you’d love to keep as a pet.

Who does NOT want a baby lion???!

I want to snuggle with it.

UBC Day 5

Day 5 — Write a letter to: Your dreams

Dear dreams,

I have always been so fascinated by you. Either in my sleeps or when I just day dream about how I want my life to be. Or in the past that I've dreamed about my future. What I wanted when I "grew up" or who I was going to marry. It may not have turned out the way I expected it to and maybe some of my dreams had to be crushed. But I know that because of my dreams I am motivated and inspired to do what I need to follow those dreams. I know I dream to find my perfect job that I went to school for. I know I'm having some troubles finding a job right now but it's not going to stop me. I may just have to put some of my dreams on hold. I know I always thought the boy that I was dating in high school or I became serious with was the man of my dreams. But I never knew what that meant until I married him. He is everything to me and has helped me make (most) of my dreams come true. Just waiting for those babies to come! And I'm excited to fulfill the dream of being with him for eternity(7 more months. Time is just flying!)! If I could say anything about dreams; don't stress the could haves. If it should have, it would have.

Tell me: A song that reminds you of someone

I want to know: Your favorite quote.

I want to see A photo of yourself two years ago.

It's unbelievable that it's been two years. I'm 18&pregnant in this picture.

20&unpregnant.

bahha. not much has changed. right?

UBC Day 4

Yeah, I'm two days behind. Fail. Saturday I worked then I had a birthmom party at the R house <3 Met some new people and saw some old friends. It was fabulous. :) I laughed and got teary eyed. There is something about being in a room with all these great girls (and mr. & mrs. r, of course). I needed it that day.

The Sunday, we went to church. Oh! And the beginning of January I did a high school presentation about adoption with another girl who had placed. I had never met her before but then I saw her at church on Sunday and we are in the same ward! Small world right? I LOVE it! After church we went to a superbowl party afterwards with a friend of mine. And we were there until almost one in the morning! I love weekends like this :)

Write a letter to: Your sibling (or closest relative)

I have so many siblings but I plan to write them all letters too during this challenge.

Dear Ruthie,

I feel like I should start out with a dearblankpleaseblank.

Dear emails and text messages,

Please find a way to clearly express my sarcasm.

Sincerely, I keep pissing people off.

Me and RuthAnn are 4 years apart in age. She was the one that would get mad at me for borrowing her clothes in junior high. Only because I looked up to my older sisters. I still do ;) She's smart and successful and I hope to be just like her someday. We have a lot of the same sense of humor. Even though sometimes it can get us into trouble, we still got each others back. She's my bestie sister. I have a few or 5 of them. She's the one that I feel closest to (geographical wise too, oh provolonian). We share the same likes and dislikes in the movies and the tv shows. I know I can always go to her if I want to vent about an episode of gossip girl. She's my homeslice mcgriddle cheese. My fatron. I love her to the endddd. This letter thing is semi-gay. Hahaha. I can never think of something rad to say. So if these letters stink. SORRY!

Tell me: A song that makes you sad

I want to know: Your favorite book.

I want to see Your favorite photograph of your best friend.

UBC Day 3

Write a letter to: Your parents

Dear Parents,

I know growing up that I wasn't the most perfect child. I'm sure there were many days and nights I put you through heck. Nights that you stayed up until I was home. I know everything that you have done for me was to help me. I don't ever hate you for sending me to Anasazi or West Ridge. I know I haven't followed the perfect path. But you have showed me what it means to really appreciate it when I did get back on it. And that you guys were always going to be there even if I wandered off the path. I'm grateful that you helped me so much through my pregnancy and afterwards. And that you have always pushed me to do my best and that I'm capable of doing it. That I was also capable of finding a wonderful man and I'm grateful that you have accepted him into our family with open arms. You're the best parents ever and I hope to be great parents like you someday. :) I love you!



Tell me: A song that makes you happy



I want to know: Your favorite television program.

Tell me Your idea of the perfect first date.

Well, I know this probably wouldn't be a first date. But my perfect date in general would have to be if I woke up earllyyyy and you just took me to the airport and didn't tell me where we were going. Then we got on the plane and we went straight to disneyland. Then in the afternoon go to a dinner then take a stroll on the beach around sunset. I think that would be PERFECTION. Someone let him in on this ;) It's like my DREAM date.

UBC Day 2

Write a letter to: Your Crush


Dear crush,
This should be a given. I guess I "crushed" on you the moment that I saw your profile picture on LDSsingles.com. You could say it was love at first mouse click. And the rest is history. You're my one and my everything. I know this is a short letter. But, I can just tell you in person how much I adore you! :)
I love you my big hunk-a-lunk! You're an awesome husband and you're going to be an amazing father someday!

Tell me: Your least favorite song
This is really hard for me because I love almost every genre of music. I'll listen to something once. I love music. I have 9.8 days worth of songs on my iTunes. I'm sort of a FREAK. Okay, I have detested this song for the longest time. I know some people are going to hate me for it. Something about this song just gets under my skin. I remember we had to pick apart this song my sophomore year of high school. I never liked this song in the first place. It sounds like the guy just stuffed one of his dirty gym socks in his mouth and decided he was an AMAZING singer. Really? The song "You're beautiful" by James Blunt. It's about a guy who sees a girl on a train and she's with another DUDE. And he falls in love with her the moment that he sees her. And he just writes this entire song about her. Creeptastic? You bet it is.



I want to know: Your favorite movie.

Take A photo of something you ate today.

Yes, I'm a little kid at heart :) I know I didn't take the picture but I did eat that today!

UBC Day 1

Take A photo of yourself and a description of how your day was.

This was on Monday. Andee wanted me to go with her to Costco. So I went to Costco. Got some pizza. Then we went to the mall and looked at some rings and wished that we were engagement ring shopping again and had all the money in the world to buy them! Haha! Then I had to work and it was the slowest night EVER!

Write a letter to: Your Best Friend(s)

Dear Best Friend(s),

Yes, plural. I can't just think of one best friend because I've had so many help me at a certain time in my life. They are all so amazing to me. :)

 

This girlie has been a great friend ever since we started talking. Now I can give her a call whenever or we can always go on double date with her and her husband (that i approve of). And I know if my husband doesn't understand something about adoption that I'm frustrated with, I know I can call her and she'll understand. I'm so excited for her to start her life as a mommy. :)

 This girl is ummmazing! She is getting married soon to a wonderful guy that I approve (since he helps set up some stuff for the Sims for me!). I love hanging out with her and our love for cats and the Sims. :) She's my homegirl.

 This girl just recently got married to a wonderful man that I also approve of. :) She is such a fabulous person and she has been there at work when I was a HUGE whale and would sit and talk to me after. She's my go-to girl if I need anyone to vent my shiz to and I hope she knows she can do the same to me!

 This girl is so recklessly beautiful. She is my partner in crime. She reminds me of well... me. We've been through a lot of the same shiz in life and understand each other on a level that most people probably wouldn't understand. She gets me ;)

This girl who I've known the longest (since 6th grade) I can say that we have virtually been through everything together. We know the most about each others lives and we might be TOO close of friends ;) Haha. I'm so glad to say that we are still friends to this day!

I love you all besties!

Tell me/ I want to know: Your favorite song




This is a Taylor Swift Cover.
I like this better than the Taylor Swift version.
(Don't tell her I said that.)

The ULTIMATE blog challenge

Okay. I know it's been a while since I've blogged. It's because my life is not even that legit. I've had some interviews. Had some meltdowns over it. Done stressing. I should be finding out if I got a job that I had an interview on Thursday by tomorrow. But I don't think it's going to happen. Haha. Way to be optimistic right? I just don't feel right about it. We'll see though. I might just not be trying to get my hopes up. I'll still continue job searching. But if I don't find something soon. I might change my career path. I have seriously considered going to the Art Institute (if anyone has heard anything good about it, PLEASE let me know) for photography. My beautiful sister, Erika started a photography business. So if I do take that path I will go to school and then join her business. That's if she'll have me. ;) Which would mean I would have to leave the  little state of Utah and move to the northwest. It won't be for a while though. For sure. I just have to get my husband to warm up to the idea now. Nothing is better than Boise to him (Go Broncos!).

I decided to throw together all of the 30 blog day challenges that I've found searching google into one. You may join me. I'll start tomorrow. If I really feel like I need to blog about something I  might stop the challenge but start back up the next day. Like if I want to blog about my dreamboat of a husband who takes me on an amazing Valentine's Day date. :) Or if I just want to talk about adoption. I will. Or if you have any ideas. Tell me on my comments or go to my formspring.
