I'm still here.<br />
<br />
Still reading other people's blogs.<br />
<br />
Still not really feeling the true desire to write in mine, but missing the release of words.<br />
<br />
Honestly the two biggest factors about showing up here again? My mom who says she misses coming here to check up on me every once in a while && the fact that I want to be better about recording and sharing the books I read. I have a bookstagram with my best friend and I love it. One of my unspoken resolutions or goals for 2019 is to be better at reviewing and sharing the books I read. I figure my blog might be a good way to do that...so here we go again?<br />

Well hello, it's been a long while. I have gone back and forth about continuing to blog, but at the moment, I think I will keep at it for at least a little longer. The end of April and May is a period of time that I would prefer not to ever relive again, but I feel like I should document what happened so I can look back and have the whole story and not just the good parts.<br />
<br />
I last blogged at the beginning of April. On April 23rd, we lost our Cooper baby very unexpectedly. He was fine one morning and then gone the next. He had bloat and his stomach twisted, cutting off all blood flow. To say it was one of the hardest things I've gone through in recent years would be a huge understatement.<br />

I miss my boy. He was so much more than a dog. He was my welcoming committee when I'd come home even if it was only for a quick visit or if he'd just seen me a few days before. He was velcro, for whatever reason when I was home, he was a constant weight right next and often right on top of me. He could be a brat. He'd sigh at you, roll his eyes at you and move just far enough out of your reach so you couldn't pet him, but he loved and he loved well.</a></div>

May was the month of the Urgent Care trips. I was there each of the first three weekends in May. First weekend was because I hit my head at work on a shelf. The second weekend was because I had an ear infection and the third weekend was because I had a possible adverse reaction and/or a possible misprescription of my antibiotic. So definitely not sad to see the end of April and the month of May go.<br />
<br />
My bestest and I also finally bit the bullet and started our bookstagram, @bibliophilebesties, we are keeping it somewhat anonymous, we don't use our full names unless someone were to look at our goodreads accounts, but if you'd like to check it out, come give us a follow!<br />
<br />
Yesterday, we became a 2-dog household once again, my Lynn-Mom texted me saying that they "did a thing" well, everyone, meet Ruger!<br />

I'm sure I'll be sharing more about Ruger as the weeks, months and years go on. He's a lab and is currently 7 weeks old. Follow along with the hashtag #ourrugerboy<br />

Glad to be back in the blogging saddle!<br />

Sunday was my 25th birthday..how I am already in my mid 20's, I'm not sure, but believe it or not, I am & I'm going to soak up every minute!<br />
<br />
I spent the day with my Lynn-Mom, with Mady and her new boyfriend Daniel, joining us for church as well as lunch and shopping in the afternoon. We've been church shopping for a month or two now and seem to have found at least a (temporary) new home. The music was wonderful, the message was one that I definitely could relate to and the friends that we went with are more like extended members of our family now. Lunch was at TGI Fridays where Mady and Daniel both spoiled me with presents, two new awesome shirts(including the one above), a wooden HOME sign where the O is a cutout of the shape of MN & a new coffee mug. We then went browsing at TJ Maxx, Kirklands and concluded at HomeGoods. I found a new sign and then decided to pick out a coffee mug tree on Amazon for my presents from my Dad & Lynn-Mom, who also got me a new printer for school, so that was great.<br />

Duncan Hines has these new desserts in a mug and they are AH-MAZING!* I bought three different kinds a couple weeks ago and they are a nice way to relax after getting done with work each night!<br />

What do you prefer to be called?</span> Megs, Meg, Miss Meghan, Sassy, Lovebug, Little Bit, Squeezebox. If we aren't close, Meghan is just fine. I have a couple of coworkers that seem to think it's okay to call me Meg or Megs and those are reserved for good friends/family. </div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #383838; font-family: "Open Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px;">

<span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 700; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">3. How often do you doodle? What do your doodles look like? </span>I doodle absentmindedly. Usually hearts or random words. </div>

<span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 700; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">4. What do you do if you can’t sleep at night? Do you count sheep? Toss and Turn? Try to get up and do something productive? </span>I read somewhere that if you stay completely still for 15 minutes you will fall asleep. So if I'm having a hard time falling asleep I'll do that. Otherwise I check my phone, </div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #383838; font-family: "Open Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 700; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">5. How many days could you last in solitary confinement? How would you do it? </span>Not very long. I need music or some sort of sound. </div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #383838; font-family: "Open Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 700; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">6. Do you save old greeting cards and letters? Throw them away? </span>I save them. I have them saved since I was a baby. I also have a few wedding ones from when my mom and dad got married back in 1990. </div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #383838; font-family: "Open Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 700; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">7. Who is the biggest pack rat you know? </span>Probably myself. I have a hard time throwing anything away that I've written or brainstormed on. </div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #383838; font-family: "Open Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 700; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">8. When making an entrance in to a party, do you make your presence known?

If you had to give one up, which would it be? </span><span style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Hmm. I'd probably give up my sense of smell. Just because, I've lost my sense of smell before so I know it's doable. </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #383838; font-family: "Open Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px;">

<span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 700; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">11. What is the strangest thing you believed as a child? </span>That someone's half birthday was based upon when their sibling's birthday was. I'm guessing because my brother's birthday is the day after my half birthday. I'm 4/2 and he's 10/3. Different years obviously. </div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #383838; font-family: "Open Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px;">

<span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 700; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">13. Who performs the most random acts of kindness out of everyone you know? </span>Hmm. Probably my work momma. </div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #383838; font-family: "Open Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px;">

Which sections? </span><span style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">I'll usually read the Sunday paper if it's in the breakroom at work. I usually will read the sports and local sections. </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #383838; font-family: "Open Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px;">

<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #383838; font-family: "Open Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px;">

<b>46 </b>new books were read plus countless re-reads in 2016. 2017, I hope to up that number to <b>75 </b>new books.<br />
<br />
In 2016, I finished the photo-a-day for the first time ever, you can find all of my 2016 daily pictures at <b>#meghananna2k16. #meghananna2k17 </b>is my hashtag for the photo-a-day for this year & my goal is to actually post daily and not have to play catch-up like I did so many times in 2016.<br />
<b><br /></b>
In 2016, I went to <b>9</b> concerts. I'm hoping I can make it to that many this year as well! <b> </b><br />
<b><br /></b>
Watching my sister get her <b>LPN</b> lit a fire under my butt and on the 10th, I will start school again going for <b>medical coding</b>!<br />
<br />
2016 was a good year, 2017 is shaping up to be another great one. <br />

<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><b style="background-color: white; text-align: center;">Second Day.</b><span style="background-color: white; text-align: center;"> Your favorite moment that highlights the true meaning of Christmas (whether that be service or family, or Christ, etc.)</span></span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "Open Sans"; font-size: 14.3px; text-align: center;"> </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "Open Sans"; font-size: 14.3px; text-align: center;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "Open Sans"; font-size: 14.3px; text-align: center;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: "Open Sans"; font-size: 14.3px; text-align: center;">My Lynn-Mom's parents, so my grandparents, are two of my very favorite people in the world, they come home for the month of December after being in AZ since October and then they go back for the rest of the winter. That is one of my favorite moments no doubt, getting that first hug after not seeing them for a couple months is always a great feeling. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: "Open Sans"; font-size: 14.3px; text-align: center;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: "Open Sans"; font-size: 14.3px; text-align: center;">Each Christmas Eve, my store closes early, previous years it has been mostly 8pm, but this year it's 6, but I digress. My grandparents, Lynn-Mom and Dad, Mady and Ryan all come to pick me up, which is nice that they all love me so much they can't wait for me to get home, but that's not all they do, oh no, they come in my grandparents van, they have bells and whistles on, one or more of them are standing out the sunroof, I think there may have been cowbell one year, it's amazing! I got Christmas Eve off this year, so this is one tradition that I will miss this year.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: "Open Sans"; font-size: 14.3px; text-align: center;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: "Open Sans"; font-size: 14.3px; text-align: center;">I also love the tradition I have with my Momma of going home over her birthday and NYE and spending a couple days playing games and looking back on all the previous year has encapsulated, Christmas always seems to belong to my Dad because he lives where I live, but NYE has belonged to my Momma since I moved out after high school, </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: "Open Sans"; font-size: 14.3px; text-align: center;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: "Open Sans"; font-size: 14.3px; text-align: center;">Ultimately though, my favorite moment belongs to Christmas morning, when we all pile in Lynn-Mom and Dad's room to beg for breakfast and talk about our plans for the day. We then get to eat our big breakfast, we settle in the living room upstairs and we each read a portion of the story of Jesus' birth and the events leading up to it out of my parents Bible. Some years we share about gifts that Jesus has given us as well, where we have to share a gift that we believe Jesus has given another family member that isn't material but a spiritual gift/talent. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: "Open Sans"; font-size: 14.3px; text-align: center;"><br /></span>

Let's just pretend that my last post wasn't a November goals post okay? & let's not even talk about the goals that I didn't accomplish. #suchislife<br />
<br />
But hey December is here, yay December!<br />
<br />
Here are some wonderful things I'm looking forward to in December:<br />
<br />
-my grandparents come home in like less than a week, for the rest of the month& that makes me happy, happy, happy #yasyasyas<br />
<br />
-my seester graduates nursing school, she'll be an lpn once passes board. Proud sister alert goes to me.<br />
<br />
-both my brother Ryan & my mom celebrate birthdays this month, hard to believe my baby brother is going to be 15. WHO TOLD HIM HE COULD GET OLDER?!<br />
<br />
-CHRISTMAS. Favorite time of the year. Love our traditions. From the infamous pick-ups that my family pulls off each Christmas Eve to the morning reading of the story of the Birth of Jesus, to our gift card tournament, which last year included air hockey and darts.<br />
<br />
I figured I'd share some goals as well:<br />
<br />
-figure out my goals for 2017.<br />
<br />
-write up my 2016 year in review.<br />
<br />
-set a 2017 reading goal.<br />
<br />
-read 2 books.<br />
<br />
-go visit my mom sometime this month to celebrate Christmas<br />
<br />
-pay for my tim&faith ticket.<br />
<br />
<br />

Happy November! I hope everyone had a safe and fun night last night! I worked, but got to dress up, so that was fun. I'm starting November with a clean slate & excited to see where this month takes me, but I do have a few goals that I am hoping to accomplish this month<br />
.<br />
<br />
My<b> big goal</b> this month is going to be NaNoWriMo which I've tried with different levels of effort over the past six years, this will hopefully be my year to get it done!<br />
<br />
I also have a few secondary goals!<br />
<br />
Show up in this space at least once a week, which may not seem like a lot, but because of NaNo, that's all I'm going to aim for.<br />
<br />
Read one book a week, which is actually more than what I've been averaging of late, which is quite sad if you ask me.<br />
<br />
What's one goal you have for the month of November? Are you participating in NaNo?<br />
<br />
<br />

I love absolutely every single thing about fall. If I could move somewhere where fall was the season year round I would do it in a heartbeat no questions asked. I'd pack my bags and set up camp in a place where I could display pumpkins, burn my apple candles, drink apple cider and eat pumpkin pancakes in my over sized cozy sweater all year long. There are some people are all pumpkin flavored or they like apple cider...me I want it all in my mouth with the windows open and me covered in a large blanket.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #3d596d; font-family: merriweather, georgia, "times new roman", times, serif; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 24px;">
This time of year makes my heart excited and overjoyed and there is no time at all that makes me happier than fall. So when Meghan asked me to do a post for her today and even suggested I post about the things I love about fall...well I hopped on that like the delicious caramel hops on that delicious apple...</div>

<li style="margin-left: 15px;"><strong>The Leaves Changing Colors</strong><br />I don't think there is truly a season more beautiful than fall and when the leaves started to change colors. The second I see a leaf start to change my heart leaps. It's beautiful.</li>
<li style="margin-left: 15px;"><strong>The crisp weather</strong><br />There is nothing I love more than sitting on my couch with the windows open, candles burning, under a blanket with just a little bit of light. The cool weather that comes with fall is just exciting.<br /><img alt="giphy2" class="CToWUd a6T" height="362" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/proxy/AVvXsEhU7roT5OTea6FVQNSF0TzFziorEjJ9r6mofBTW42l4_CCVWlp77TwDBmw9ANvEbUvoY_csZCP1C9YUn3uWOF9o9J_OEOTt5Bkzc9fn2iCPkT-m-a-nrrsmC85NP5r0hUPH7BpDHMwIdzuwuLel0E_tc_zEPWIoviEr23ugGcY4oA=s0-d-e1-ft" style="cursor: pointer; display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; max-width: 100%; min-height: auto; outline: 0px;" tabindex="0" width="480" /></li>
<li style="margin-left: 15px;"><strong>Pumpkins</strong><br />Look yes I'm a basic white girl and yes I like my pumpkin spice latte, but here's the thing I like pumpkin flavored anything (but the pumpkin spice latte from McDonald's...ya nasty). If it's pumpkin flavored I'll give it a shot because I'm not one to judge the pumpkin until I taste it.<br />Aside from just eating the pumpkins though I love to decorate with them. I love for my apartment to look like fall and Halloween barfed all over it while I'm sitting there cozy under my blanket eating a pumpkin muffin.<br /><img alt="giphy3" class="CToWUd a6T" height="269" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/proxy/AVvXsEjMYBKsuDC18gKsbKV109o5EBGjPQmjb0Cl4qWXNGCtbLRC2Y-uD7TFdNTXvXLhN_aatbQirbdUq6P3AppE_ck21R3hFD_Eaws-7RQaX-Z8fOUATtsrw7qEqhKR5COXTtSRoAudn1Kx9EyMM17TUvLbI_kOlh0Xj5CyFLWe2CKqLg=s0-d-e1-ft" style="cursor: pointer; display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; max-width: 100%; min-height: auto; outline: 0px;" tabindex="0" width="500" /></li>
<li style="margin-left: 15px;"><strong>Halloween</strong><br />Everyone loves Christmas. I feel like that's a given. I love Halloween because it's smack dap in the middle of my favorite season and at the end of my favorite month. You can dress up, have fun, and eat candy. Why would you not like Halloween? Plus it means those candy corn pumpkin things are for sale and I could eat my weight in those...they may also be the reason why I struggle losing weight.<br /><img alt="giphy4" class="CToWUd a6T" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/proxy/AVvXsEjX6u4bt7FTOh7UX2hyOBUWlJFIx8fZZjxp4jD-3rXn8o0HcdAoQ0GJx6JxbazJQdRiuLjkFf3PVwn7il6CtEWce3TpL7uwGz4EtcSMRKFFALeD_PDAe8QM9RBW7_H2pU96bsV4xniZ1pBzmVphEryUuB6pVyRP1YspV8Sj6Gl0wQ=s0-d-e1-ft" style="cursor: pointer; display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; max-width: 100%; min-height: auto; outline: 0px;" tabindex="0" width="500" /></li>
<li style="margin-left: 15px;"><strong>Cozy sweaters</strong><br />Along with cozying up with a blanket with the windows open I also love wearing big over sized sweaters.<br /><img alt="giphy5" class="CToWUd a6T" height="364" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/proxy/AVvXsEjq_WxkMWPEWOklgVww_8_GB_bjgmIRUdmpzJj7RBBfU_u3948RPouGtXBF7P27jIPQq6CM8ZaNyLy62TR5H6otQgJF5F0C78X4Y3zGvqn12ZAHcJLFNbquzKi_-sNCUGmEZWB6DUl9YgP8dm-oX8rlX_X4iZzFg4PFSeP699frRA=s0-d-e1-ft" style="cursor: pointer; display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; max-width: 100%; min-height: auto; outline: 0px;" tabindex="0" width="364" /></li>
<li style="margin-left: 15px;"><strong>I can watch Hocus Pocus guilt free</strong><br />I watch this movie all year long and I don't really care what anyone says BUT this is the season I can bust it out and no one can say anything because tis the season to run amok, amok, amok<br /><img alt="giphy1" class="CToWUd a6T" height="205" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/proxy/AVvXsEj6f9wFkOV-UngP1sOb-tzyPFuT-NiLCYumG0sg58tXo6ez0uvsKKHNmSeuOr1niKNf7_XGUaAL3bjZxVTmNkZXuxcBu0vHchOQ3Lkg6SKaNv2Ngje9WSu1z6DJ1Anra786cCllF8-8N9e7cUSXZzMmmcmcShBVeJo6MmZTOOlHXQ=s0-d-e1-ft" style="cursor: pointer; display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; max-width: 100%; min-height: auto; outline: 0px;" tabindex="0" width="500" /></li>
<li style="margin-left: 15px;"><strong>Fresh Apples / Apple Cider</strong><br />I hate and even that isn't a strong enough word for it, but anyway..I HATE apples and apple cider from a grocery store. Look they just aren't good. This time of year I can FINALLY eat good, fresh apples and along with those good, fresh apples being in season means GOOD apple cider is in season and by good I mean go to an orchard and taste that shiz and then tell me you can't taste a difference between that and the crap at chain stores.<br /><img alt="giphy6" class="CToWUd" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/proxy/AVvXsEgE8RkIepcIy1NUhXY6vMaJzk8INHRIQIEZZxvI0kav-qtiApJLwO8Y6aUnjFZAcK-Jocra-F1NfEDBN3uE8jCZ41ic19fbYOQJ_sLbeuOlW1IrkNGA-gHb7_JrK2TzCnInkW-i-JRUeuvDOlu1ledIRvD8-Xmk9H3cGosSmOvzxw=s0-d-e1-ft" style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; max-width: 100%; min-height: auto;" width="245" /></li>
<li style="margin-left: 15px;"><strong>Football Season</strong><br />I don't really watch much sports aside from college football. We live for college football down south and by college football I mean War Eagle please. I do love baseball but Football is what I enjoy most. Recently dating Tony I have started watching and getting into the Carolina Panthers.

Honestly, my biggest/craziest adventure has been moving out and living in my first apartment. I love it and I wouldn't trade it for the world.

<br />
Today's prompt? <b><i>If you could switch lives with someone for a day, who would it be?</i></b><br />
<b><i><br /></i></b>
I would love to switch places with someone on the road team of Garth Brooks or Brantley Gilbert. Would that not be awesome to be in the inner circle of one of these men? I love going to their concerts and love that they share their lives with us. I'd love to be able to talk to them and just have regular every day conversations with them.<br />

Instagram is probably my favorite platform of social media, I love seeing the behind the scenes photos that my favorites post, I'm not one of those people that go all gooey over the staged photos that a lot of the people seem to enjoy posting. <br />

Melissa and I met when I decided to become an Itworks Distributor for a period of time last year. I met up with her and one of my blog friends Kenzie last winter. Her feed always gives me hope and I love that she always keeps it real, no filter on her life, the hard stuff, the fun stuff, the great stuff, the messy stuff, it's all on her feed.<br />
<br />

<br />
Kenzie is the one I talked about above. She's been through so much at a young age, even more than I was at that age and yet she still finds ways to encourage and to smile. I love her heart.<br />

My bestest, I love all of the pictures of her little man and all of the memes she sends me and all of that type of awesomeness. She's the one I go to when I need a pick-me-up and a good laugh. Love my best friend.<br />

<br />
& since today's prompt is to <b><i>share a day in the life</i></b>, well what better day to share than a day with the three musketeers from open to close at Valleyfair?<br />

The tilt-a-whirl was one of the three rides we rode the most I'd bet. It was tied between the tilt-a-whirl, the swings & the bird ride. We rode most of the rides at least once in the day time and once at night because we liked seeing them all lit up. We didn't ride excalibur at all because it hurts like hell(it's an old wooden coaster and jars you all over the place) & we rode Renegade only once because we always forget that it gives you almost as bad of a headache as excalibur because it also is a wooden coaster. We didn't do PowerTower because we refused to get stuck at the top and just didn't feel like riding the one that shoots up. On the tilt-a-whirl we'd get spinning so fast that it hurt to laugh which in turn led to hurting to breathe because we always ended up laughing. </div>

Can you spot the Meghan? It took me a while when looking at these photos after a month or so and then I was like OH HEY THERE I AM! We somehow didn't loose any phones or drop them or get them confiscated because we weren't really supposed to have them out once we boarded the rides. #whoops</div>

If I had to pick any one picture that was my favorite from this three musketeers trip it would be this one. I'm pretty sure the swings were designed for younger kids, but it's one of our favorite rides every time we go. </div>

So today's prompt is <i><b>share a glimpse of your space.</b></i><br />
<i><b><br /></b></i>
I put my own twist on this prompt and I'm going to share a short story I wrote about my pair of couches that are in my living room.<br />
<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjD6x7SAjAIqA7qYEJ84Ijw1KdLm3RzNZfvtWkfdf8H_6VOqmCz_cet3rAeAsHHXCJcnc9GATU9z1gTHp5m4axh4JBIVEaU6izXV_oegsIdDsR-O6ie85xdkwsDep-fcTLze8fkHuvpw6E/s1600/IMG_20160903_134723.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjD6x7SAjAIqA7qYEJ84Ijw1KdLm3RzNZfvtWkfdf8H_6VOqmCz_cet3rAeAsHHXCJcnc9GATU9z1gTHp5m4axh4JBIVEaU6izXV_oegsIdDsR-O6ie85xdkwsDep-fcTLze8fkHuvpw6E/s400/IMG_20160903_134723.jpg" width="300" /></a></td></tr>
<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">I also have a larger couch across from this one. </td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<br />
Before these blue couches found their second home in my first apartment, they had a stay in storage, but before that, they had their home in my grandma and grandpa's living room. I think that's a big reason why they're so special to me. I sat on these couches as I listened to stories from my grandpa and dad. I sat on these couches when Barry, a family friend, would dress up as Santa and hand out gifts. I slept on these couches when I'd come out to my Dad's while our house was being remodeled. Now that they are in my apartment, they have been where I have written crucial scenes in my book that's a work in progress, they've been home to prayers during my quiet time. Where I lay my head when I can't sleep and where I enjoy my favorite shows. These couches have seen me as a young girl, as a teenager and now as a young woman on my own. These couches are something that now have sentimental value to me. I'm excited to see where they will be in the next stages of my life. <br />

<b>one| </b>My dogs. Cooper, Chloe & Leader are my babies and they bring me immense joy. Whether it be when they cuddle up to me when I come home or when they do something so ridiculous that I can't help but laugh.<br />

<b>three| </b>When my Lynn-Mom calls me for a simple question and we end up having a twenty minute conversation. I miss when I lived at home and we talked all the time, but this is the second best thing.<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>four|</b> Solving a problem that stumps other people. Especially at work. I love when I find the answer to something difficult.<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>five| </b>When Jayme and I can have on-going conversations on multiple platforms. We can be talking on facebook messenger, tweeting and texting on three different subjects and somehow we don't get them mixed up. My best friend is pretty awesome. #justsayin<br />

Five days in! The fifth prompt for Blogtember is <b><i>what was your most memorable birthday.</i></b><br />
<b><i><br /></i></b>
Growing up I have some pretty awesome birthday memories...<br />
<br />
My 4th birthday party was at Discovery Zone and as imagined it was AWESOME!<br />
<br />
I celebrated I believe it was my 13th birthday by racing NASCAR simulators with my g-rents, my dad and lynn-mom and it was fun, even funnier afterwards when my dad almost threw up because of them ;)<br />
<br />
My 17th birthday was celebrated by going to Texas Roadhouse with the family and sitting on the saddle for the first time.<br />
<br />
My 18th and 19th birthdays were spent at the casino up north with my Granny.<br />
<br />
This year I spent the day with lots of "my people" I had lunch with my work momma, spent the rest of the day with my dad, lynn-mom and ryan & then Mady took me out for a sisters day the day after my birthday where she got this wonderful clip<br />
<iframe allowfullscreen="true" allowtransparency="true" frameborder="0" height="400" scrolling="no" src="https://www.facebook.com/plugins/video.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fmady.olson%2Fvideos%2Fvb.1167130646%2F10207659710708611%2F%3Ftype%3D3&show_text=0&width=400" style="border: none; overflow: hidden;" width="400"></iframe><br />
But the birthday memory I really want to talk about is the surprise party my Granny and my aunt Jenny planned for me for my 14th birthday. I would spend a lot of school vacation time up north between my mom's parents and my dad's parents, and that year my birthday must have fell in the spring break time frame because that's when they threw it. I had no idea and it was wonderful. What makes it extra special is that it was the last birthday I got to celebrate with my Grandpa before he passed away that September. <br />
<br />
My family-immediate and extended know how to have a fun party and create great memories, I'm so grateful for all the fun and love not only surrounding my birthdays but every day!<br />
