Day ten: any photo you like for any reason

This is probably the sweetest picture taken on the face of the earth.  The moment when big sister first meets her baby brother.  So very precious and so very priceless.

Day nine: a photo of yourself when you were a baby.

Day eight: a photo of something you enjoy doing.

Most that know me know that I love to scrapbook.  It's my way of preserving memories for my family for generations to come.  I often get together with several girlfriends so that we can scrapbook, talk, laugh and have some "me" time.  I love it!

My quote: Been there, done that, scrapped a page about it!

Day seven: a photo of something you stand for

I stand for the unborn.  Life begins at conception, not birth.

 "For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that fully well. My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place. When I was woven together in the depths of the earth, your eyes saw my unformed body. All the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be" (Psalm 139:13-16).

Day six: a photo of someone you love

I love this man with every inch of my being.

Day five photo challenge: A photo that makes you laugh

This photo was taken one day on a random passing through the sunglasses and hats aisle at a local Walmart.  Caleb grabbed a hat and the sunglasses and told me to take his picture.  I told him to throw up his deuces and make a duck face.  Oh em gee... we laughed so hard.  Notice his sideways Spongebob sticker.  Gangsta

Day four: A photo of a place you would like to visit

Sonaisali Resort in Fiji.  Nuff said.

Day three: a photo that makes you happy.

Making memories with our children.  This makes me happy!

Day two: a photo of yourself at least a year ago.

The photo challenge for day two is not that exciting.  Well... it kinda is because you get to see my beautiful face once again.  This photo was taken of me right after my very first 5k (unedited!).  It's really the only picture taken of me and only me this time last year.  Oh well.  It'll do for now!

Without further ado, here is my Day One Challenge: A photo of myself

My legs are growing treads....

Seriously though I think this past year has been my healthiest year since I was a teenager.  I lost weight, I started working out and most important ... if not the most exciting - I started running.  When I run I know my heart is getting stronger with each pump.  I know my lungs are expanding and working for the better of my body.  I know that my blood is flowing and pumping and going to all the right places.  I love it.  When I run my legs hurt, my chest is tight and I can't carry on a conversation and that is just the way I like it.  Am I crazy?  Who knows, and honestly who cares.  All I know is I have been a running for one year!  One year ago this month I ran my very first 5k race.  One year ago I began a new journey that I never in a million years imagined I would love so very much.  After I run I feel refreshed and renewed.  I feel rejuvenated and unstressed so to speak.  The proud feeling of accomplishment creeps through my veins and it sure feels good.  Thank you God I have a mind to set on running, lungs to take in that fresh air, a healthy heart to pump that blood and legs to get me where I need to go.
