8 - Laughter

Day 8 - a picture that makes you laugh
Once again, wish I had more pictures on this computer. However, this picture makes me laugh. This is from our trip to Hawaii. Mitchell and Carson found these giant palm fronds, and they were busy "sweeping" each other with them. It was probably not very nice for the one being sweeped, but it was hilarious to watch!

7 - Treasured

Day 7 - A picture of your most treasured item.

Here lies the opportunity to reveal myself as materialistic or prove myself above those things...

After much debate I determined to interpret this requirement rather loosely. So there - I treasure toilets, because I hate to think of the alternative! Also, if I didn't have this item, my neighbors would probably hate me. (Sorry, there was no possible way I could take this question seriously!)

6 - Trade

Day 06 - Picture of a person you'd love to trade places with for a day.

I don't know this person, but I want to go there!


Seriously, I would love to be sleeping in a hammock on the beach. However, the weather here is much improved. Now I just need to work on the sleeping bit!

5 - Memories

Day 05 - A picture of you and your favorite memory
This one was particularly difficult for me because I have too many favorite memories, and because I don't have a ton of pictures on this computer, so that limited my options. Therefore, I selected two memories!
This handsome fellow is my brother Blake. That is his camera face... don't ask. Anyways, he is in the process of filling glass bottles with home-made rootbeer. Now, this was my mom's project, which she started because her dad (my grandpa) used to make home-made rootbeer with yeast, then let them ferment in a bottle to get some carbonation. I don't know if you can see the stack of bottles on the counter next to Mitchell. However, this particular batch had just a little too much kick. Anyways, a couple of days later I'm sitting in my room in the basement minding my own bussiness when I hear an explosion. Turns out too much carbonation had built up in the bottle, and it had exploded! I think two or three of them exploded before we could get them under control. Turns out they all tasted awful, and they were probably borderline alcoholic. Therefore, instead of drinking them, we took them outside and popped the corks off where they exploded like champagne!
Second memory: Me, Blake, and Mitchell at Disneyland, CA. My family is lucky enough to be able to go to Disneyland quite often. I just selected a random disney picture. However, I love these trips! I spend the entire day with these fellows, and we all like to spend the day in Disneyland on Indiana Jones and Space mountain. The food is way too expensive, but it's also delicious. Then we stay until close and ride the tea cup ride until we are nearly sick because there is no one in line at that time of night. These trips usually include an outing to Newport beach, which I love, and I more often than not am sunburnt by the end of the trip. Seriously, we have so much fun! Is it summer yet?

3 & 4 - Favorites

Day 3 - Post of picture of the cast of your favorite TV show.
And day 4 - Post a picture of your Prince Charming
My favorite show of late is the Vampire Diaries. Say what you may, but I like vampire movies (not Twilight inspired). Seriously, I own the old Dracula movie if you want to borrow it. Anyways, love this show. I also decided to combine this requirement with the "prince charming" requirement. I can't say I have one of those, but in searching for pictures for my favorite TV show, I decided that Damon (Ian Somerhalder) would suffice. For those of you that are Lost fans, he played Boone in the first season. I think his character is hilarious, and besides, he's hot (yes, I realize that is oh so shallow). Anyways, there you go. Prince Charming: check!

2 - Love these ladies!

Day 2 - A picture of you and someone you're close with
I cheated, and picked multiple someone's! Rachel, me, Amanda, Catherine, and Kate. This photo is a little older, but who cares. This was from my friend Amanda's wedding. During college in Salt Lake I lived with all of these ladies at some point, and we had way too much fun as roomies! Now three of them are married, one is in medical school, and I live out of state, so it gets hard to keep in contact. However, I would probably still consider them my best friends!

1 - Bundles and bundles of pictures


So everyone kept posting "day whatever" crap, and I decided it looked like fun. However, I'll admit that posting 30 of these in a row could get boring. We'll see what fun twists I'll come up with. In the meantime...

Day 01 - A picture of yourself with ten (hopefully not commonly known) facts.

1. I love to drink Diet Coke
2. I am a miniature dentist (that means I'm in dental school, but I'm nearing completion!)
3. I play the violin, piano, and I used to take voice lessons
4. I like to cook, but only when someone else will help me eat it
5. I love going to the movie theater, and sometimes when I can't find anyone to go, I'll just go by myself
6. I am totally a late night person, which makes mornings my least favorite time of day
7. Halloween is my favorite holiday, and if I have the time I'll usually pull together an overly elaborate costume
8. My favorite artist is Bob Marley, and favorite band is probably 311. However, I'll probably listen to just about anything.
9. I'm a certified advanced scuba diver. Too bad I live in Nebraska, making that skill not very useful
10. I have 5 younger brothers, and almost all of them are now taller than me
