The Latest Happenings...

Sometimes I don't see the point in updating my blog cause I put pictures on Facebook and Instagram...but then I realize my mom doesn't see Instagram and that is where most of my pictures are...so I will update this with some recent pictures I've taken...  Mostly of the 4th of July and then when Daron and I went up north that weekend.  (Bryan didn't want to go...party pooper)

Johnny, Bryan and Charlie waiting for the AJ fireworks to start

Lighting off our own fireworks after the main show

My cute watermelon (got the idea from Pinterest of course)

Daron looking out over the rim...he was VERY nervous at how close I was making him get to the edge (which wasn't close at all)

I know I've posted pictures of our trips up north before...but I can't get over how beautiful it is up there!

Daron and I on the rim!  So beautiful!

He was so scared in this shot...I desperately tried to get him to go out on that rock way to the right, but he wouldn't even consider it


Franklin now sleeps in our bed...and he is quite the bed hog and he sleeps in the weirdest positions.

He is a little stinker...but we sure love him!


It's monsoon season here...so we've had some crazy rain storms...like the one in the video above.


When Daron and I went up north on July 5th, it rained like crazy most of the day we were suppossed to go to Hever-Overgards Fourth of July festivals.  We still went and had fun...but it was rainy the whole time.

I'm blogging two days in a row!!  Can you believe it?!?  So I'm not sure how to take todays question.  Is it something specific or just something general that you wish you could tell someone.  I'm going to take it as a general thing, since there is a question involving more specifics later on. 
 
 
 
I don't know if this is the exact way to answer the question, but I wish that I was just better at standing up for myself to people, and saying whatever needs to be said at that moment.   It's not a huge problem, I mean I'm not being bullied or discriminated at work or anything, but just in little things.  For example....I will almost NEVER complain about food at a restaurant (mostly because I just know they will spit/pee/contaminate my food.)  Also I rarely say anything if someone cuts in front of me in line or asks me to do something that I just plain don't want to do.  Daron says I'm the nicest person he's ever known, almost TOO nice.  Sometimes I think it's too a fault though...cause I really never stand up for myself. We sort of balance each other out this way though, Daron and I.  He help me to be more vocal about things, and I try to keep him calm when getting vocal about a problem really wouldn't be productive.

Wow...I am finally on the down hill slide of this 30 day challenge...it's only been an eternity since I started this.  So, #16, what do people notice about you.  Well....I think the most obvious answer is that I'm a gigantosaurus...  I mean....disgustingly huge.  The hugest I've ever been.  But not for long.  I'm kicking it in the butt this time.

There are a few rather obvious things that I dislike about my self...but I am going to go the less obvious route for this post.  I hate making choices.  HATE making choices.  I hadn't noticed how bad this really was until last night.   Daron and I were laying in bed and I said "Tell me 10 things you love about me" and he lists off a few, and then he says something like 'I love how indecisive you are. Whether it's where to go for dinner or what do you want to do for the rest of your life, it's a constant battle to get you to choose something.  It's so funny.'  ( I don't know that he really LOVES me for that, but he must find it endearing)  So there it is...I wish I was better at making decisions.

What do I like most about myself.  This will be a short post.  Kidding.  But really, I feel like I am a pretty funny person.  I'm reminded of a clip from Gilmore Girls where Loralie is talking to some guy and he says "You're funny.  Did you used to be fat?"  I know there are those rare gems who got looks and personality, but lots of the time it seems like it's one or the other.  I feel like I was blessed with a really cool personality to make up for my lack of looks.  Is that haughty of me to say?
