Day 19: Something I miss (more like someone)
The one thing in this world that I miss is my brother Geoffrey. He passed away at 14 in 1998 and I can say that my family has never been the same. I know that I am finally at peace with his passing and I see him in the brightest star in the sky but that does not mean that I do not miss him. I often wonder at times how our lives would be different if he did not pass. Granted I believe everything happens for a reason and that we are who we are based on the experiences but I still wonder. How would he have turned out. He would be 28 on May 2nd, wow I can not believe that on April 25 it would have been 13 years. I love you little bro and I miss you with all of my heart, but I know you are in heaven with Spunky and that makes me smile.

If I could regret anything.....

Day 18: Something I regret...
Well this is an interesting tidbit that I am asked to share. I feel that everything that happens to us, positive or negative, cause of great joy or sorrow happens for a reason. I believe that God does not give us anything in which we can not handle. I also believe that what happens to us shapes us into the person we are today. That being said, I try not to regret anything that has happened in my life. For a while I regretted getting all of the credit cards that I did or taking out all of the student loans that I did, but they served their purposes so I can not regret the decisions I have made. Instead I look back on those issues and now I am a wiser person (hopefully) and my goal is to learn and budget better.

- Going on my first official vacation with Caleb Michael to TN a state we both have never been too (we have been to Wisconsin and Virginia and DC but it was to visit his family so for the most part I do not consider it a true couple vacation).

- Getting married and starting a family
- Buying a house
- Buying a new car
- Paying off all of my student loans and credit card debts (this will be something I work on while in my 30's)

Day 16: My dream house
Honestly, my dream house will be the one with the man I love, my doggie and any children that I am blessed with.
But if money was no object, my dream house would have 5 bedrooms, the master bedroom would have an adjacent bathroom which has two sinks, a large shower and hot tub like bath. The kitchen would be large and equipped, finished basement, a large fenced in yard with a patio and pool. I am not fancy, I consider myself a simple woman so even if money was no object as long as I am with family and loved ones any place is my dream home.

Day 15: Bible Verse
I like this verse because during the Free journey at Crossroads last year, one of the areas of my life that I have fear over is stress. And for the fear that we had, we were suppose to pray and give it to God. So on the page for stress there were a ton of bible verses and we circled which one spoke to us. And from the ones we circled we had to pick the one that called to us. This is the one that spoke to me and that I keep next to my bedroom door.
Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes? Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life. Matthew 6:25-27.

Day 14: A picture you love
So I decided that I love all of the pictures I have taken so what to decide which should be displayed. I could not narrow it down to one so I am being extra special and listing the top three. I wanted one of these to be my family picture but I can not download it so here are the other ones that not only make me smile but I love!!!
This is my favorite picture of Buddy. Buddy is my first dog, granted I had Spunky but Spunky was a family dog, Buddy is my first born. I love the little guy, he is my world. This picture makes me smile and love my boo boo so much.
And this picture is of me and Caleb. He is a truly amazing man and my best friend. I always wanted to find someone who could accept and love me for who I am and I thank God because I have. This is the first of many pictures he and I have taken and it is a picture that I love :)

I Love this picture because it was one of my 30 by 30 events. I ran in a 1/2 marathon. Yes, I did!!! I injured myself and was told by more than one professional that I could not do it, but I showed them. So I love this picture because it illustrates that I can do what I put my mind to it and also that I have people in my life who support and love me. My friends cheered me on and for that I love this picture.
