Day 16.. A picture of someone who inspires me

President Gordon B. Hinkley


Gordon B. Hinkley is a big inspiration to me because it didn't matter who he came in contact with, he was humble. I used to love watching conference if he was talking. He was a wonderful man, and I truly believe that many people could learn a lot from him, just by the person that he was.

I remember hearing an interview Gordon B Hinkley where he was asked about the LDS faith and what would happen in the final days if this church turned out not being the true church. He said that if that were to happen, then he would be wrong and left it at that.... That has always stuck with me because it shows that he was true to what he believed, but didn't try to over-press his faith. I admire that. I feel like our world is so caught up in pressing our belief systems on others instead of inviting them to share our beliefs but loving them even if they don't. I would like to live in a world like that...

Day 15... Something I want to do before I die

Travel the world. I have a list of places that I want to see before I die. I know that is not very original, but it's unlikely that we get to see all the places that we desire before our final days. At this point in my life I would love to see the following places, in no specific order:

1. Switzerland
2. Holland
3. Scotland
4. Ireland
5. Italy
6. Greece (the old part of Greece)
7. Belize
8. Costa Rica
9. Canada
10. Brazil

That is just a few of the places I want to go.

Day 14.. a picture of someone I couldn't imagine life without

The day that my nephew was born was life changing for me. He instantly became the most important thing in my life. He gave me a reason to be a better person. And he made me realize that the kind of love you can have for a child is the most rewarding of all. I love him so much. And he is always going to love me back no matter what. So I guess he is the person that I couldn't imagine my life with out because no matter what, I will always have that connection to him. He changed me forever.

Day 13... A picture of my favorite band or artist

This post is extremely hard for me because I have so many bands/artists that I love. I basically have a favorite per genre... I know, lame. But today, I would have to say that I love Norah Jones most. Every time I listen to her, I am in such a good mood. I love her voice and her music.... And I LOVE the song "Come Away with Me"

Day 12... Something I love

One thing I love is sunsets. To break it down into categories of the types would be ... summer sunsets, winter sunsets, stormy sunsets, and sunsets on water. But sunsets at Flaming Gorge would be my favorite of all.

Day 11... Something I hate

I hate.... HaTe... HATE... everything about public bathrooms. I don't care how clean they are, I hate everything about them. I hate touching the handles, dispensers, toilet seats... I just hate everything about them. UGH... They totally gross me out to the point where I turn the faucet on with my wrist and then get pissed because my wrist now has germs and fecal matter on them from the faucet handle... I know it's weird, but think about it. It makes sense! lol

Day 10.... The person I do the most crazy things with

:) Oh gosh... Chester... My best friend of 14 yrs now is definitely the one person that I can count on for a crazy time. Many of my favorite memories have been made with her. She is the one person who I can be my self around. She is one of the best parts of my life and I truly cherish her friendship.
