Day 26: A picture of my family

Well since this posting is similar to another posting I am unable to post pictures of my family as a whole because of the way it is saved. So I am posting pictures of me, my sister and my mom via our pictures on facebook.

I do wait for the day when we can all get a family picture but until then here is my family :)

Day 25: My favorite memory

My favorite memory has to do with my brother. With today being the 13 year anniversary of his passing, it is hard not to think of him. I remember him playing with Spunky, us watching tv together, etc. I miss him so much and I know that he is in heaven looking down on me. Love and miss ya bro :)

Day 24: Something I learned..

Well in my 30 years of life I would like to think that I have learned a great deal. I am working on getting my doctorate for goodness sake so academically I have learned a lot. Professionally as a counselor for the past 11 years I have learned so much. But to actually write what I learned would just be impossible because their is so much and I just don't have the time to do that..lol. I will leave you with a cliche but one that I think is accurate and worth noting..."You learn from your mistakes". I firmly believe that and that is the learning gift that keeps on giving.

Day 23: Favorite vacation

So my favorite vacation would have to be the first one that Caleb Michael and I have taken. Granted it was to meet his family but I still consider it a vacation because we were able to get away for one day and have our time. I come to love and appreciate our time and while visiting his family we went to Washington, D.C. That was very cool because I have never been to D.C. before. We got to see the Capital Building, the White House, the Washington Monument, etc. It was such a warm and beautiful November day. This is my favorite picture of the day also. It was a great time.

Day 20: my nicknames

Well this is a cool one. I have had several nicknames in my life, my first one would have to be "Candy" my uncle called me this. I do not remember why, maybe because I was a fat baby and then a really skinny child which upon being in pre-school "Candy" turned into "Fatty". I actually loved that nickname (but would cry if anyone called me that now) and it stuck for all of high school. I was a really skinny kid and teenager so my Uncle Jeff would always say you know I only call you "Fatty" because you were a fat baby who grew into this tall skinny person.

My next set of nicknames have really stuck. My official nickname is Keyta but honestly that is a shorten version of my name so at times I feel like that does not count but it does. I am also known as Keytabell, Kbell, Dr. L and Dr. Lbell. Each of those nicknames were given to me by friends that I truly love and it always brings a smile to my face. So there you go, these are my nicknames, so call me anything, well except Fatty :)
