Day 7: Favorite Cover of your favorite song

I don't listen to cover songs that much, but this girl does a pretty good job!!

I pray everyone remembers 9/11 today. God bless the USA!

DAY 6: Earliest thing you can remember

Since I've been teaching 4th grade these past two weeks, so many childhood memories have made me laugh! For example, one time in 1st grade someone dared me to lift up the dress of this girl in our school in front of everyone. Ya, I did that. And in 2nd grade, I tied Courtney Gillespie's shoelaces together and she waddled around for half of the day because she didn't want to tell on me. Or how about that time in 5th grade when I popped a gel ink pen inside my mouth on accident. I was always up to something. But for this post, I'll have to go back into time to Kindergarten.

Earliest things I can remember: School Dances!

I'll never forget our dances we had has kids. In Kindergarten, I met one of my best friends Brody. To this day, I would consider him one of my best guy friends. His mom always had dances for us around Valentine's Day. We LOVED them! All of my girlfriends would spend the night at my house. We would stay up ALL night talking about the guys we had crushes on. I look back now and all I can do is laugh at how funny we were!

DAY 5: A thank you letter to someone who has changed your life

If I had the time, I would write to so many people. My family, my best friends, and random people I've admired over the years. But for this posting, I will have to write to my grandparents, Papa, Granny, and Memaw.

Papa & Granny

To my sweet, loving, and funny grandparents:

Memaw

As I grow up, I realize how much you mean to me. I feel so blessed to be your grand-daughter. You have taught me so many things over the course of my life. You've taught me to keep my head up no matter what happens, to love the Lord with all of my heart, and to be a friend to others. You have been the perfect role model for me. I appreciate all of the home cooked meals, back scratches, and bits of advice. I pray that one day I can be the type of woman, mother, and friend that you are to so many. I love you sooooo much!

DAY 4: What you imagine paradise will be like

Tough question. When I think of paradise, I think of Heaven. The thought of Heaven is so amazing, yet hard to grasp. At Camp Ozark this summer, my campers asked me a lot about Heaven. It was so hard for their little minds to understand that when we enter into Heaven, we will be there forever, and ever, and ever!! How exciting. I imagine Heaven having lots and lots of LOVE. I think about it sometimes and I find myself getting stumped each time. It's such a mystery, a surprise!

DAY 3: 5 Songs I would have on a deserted island

These are the 5 songs I would take with me on a deserted island. I'm not that great with technology so I can only figure out to upload 1 video per posting. However, Who Am I by Casting Crowns is probably my all time favorite! Enjoy!

1. Who am I- Casting Crowns

2. Here- Rascal Flatts

3. Bring the Rain- Mercy Me

4. Settlin'- Sugarland

5. Glorious Day- Casting Crowns OR American Honey- Lady Antebellum

DAY 2-Something that inspires me

So many things inspire me. If I had to narrow it down to one particular thing, I don't know if I really could. My friends & family inspire me. Kind people inspire me. Athletes inspire. The list goes on and on. But for tonight, I'll narrow it down.

Something that inspires me-- A Christian couple.

Ever since I entered into college, I've been around all types of people. I'm the kind of person who loves to watch other people whether it's their actions, words, or personality. I'm a people watcher. I love it. By the way, Disney World is the best place to people watch. Anyways.....back to the subject, there is nothing more exciting than to see a couple walking with the Lord. I believe that often times anything to do with religion gets immediately put on the back burner when it comes to relationships. Sure, couples will go to church and say they put God first in their relationship, but how often is that actually true? This past year I have prayed that God will someday show me the meaning of a true, genuine relationship. With that being said, I have to give a shout out to Hannah Dailey and Tyler Williams for their relationship that reflects the Lord. It makes me tear eyed just thinking about it. SO excited about them getting married on May 28, 2011. My first wedding to be a bridesmaid and I'm pumped!

30 Day Challenge

I'm always looking for new and exciting things to do! I randomly came across a 30 Day Challenge that seemed interesting. For the next thirty days, I'll be given a subject and I'll write what I think about it. They are all completely different so it should be fun! Well, I guess it's DAY 1: Labor Day!

Day 1: Guilty Pleasure-

I laughed when I saw what Day 1 was. It is very easy for me to narrow it down though.

Guilty Pleasure = SWEETS

Whether it is Ice Cream, Oreos, Chocolate, Candy, Donuts, Cake, or Gum, I'm completely addicted. I won't blame anyone for my habit, but my Dad is the exact same way. My dad has always taken me to gas stations and candy stores for as long as I remember! I enjoy eating un-healthy things. I can always go run afterwards, duh! Some people don't understand that and I feel extremely sorry for them. Boy, are they missing out! Well, Day 1 was easy enough! I hope everyone has a wonderful Labor Day.

Love God by Loving People,
