Day 5 - A Picture of Your Favorite Memory
This one could take a while...I have way too many memories to pick just one favorite...so here are a few of my favorites...
My first mission trip - Spring Break 2010 - Arlington, TX, Mission Arlington. It was such a great experience! Definitely something I will never forget. It was a great week of serving, learning humility, and thankfulness for everything I have. Not to mention the fantastic group of people I got to hang out with all week!
I got my dad tickets to a Kentucky basketball game for his birthday last year (2010). The game was in December, while I was on Christmas break. No I am not a Kentucky fan (and refuse to ever be one) but it was one of the coolest things! More than anything, I think I enjoyed it so much because it was one of the first things my dad and I had gotten to do together, just the two of us, in a very long time. We had a great little road trip and some much needed bonding time.
Last Christmas break was Pepsi's "Holiday Dinner" and that's where this comes from. I got to fix my mom's hair, which I love to do, and it was fun just getting to see people I have worked with each summer and catch up on their lives and fill them in on mine. And my mom and I got to hang out!
It's a Royal Wedding Party! :) JANK (that would be us four lovely ladies pictured above) got together this past spring when the Royal Wedding happened, and we threw a party. We had crowns, goodies, cookies, eclaire cake, watched the wedding, and then watched The Princess Diaries. It was a fun hangout night and we got to be somewhat goofy with it...but I wouldn't trade those silly nights for the world!
:) For our 7 month anniversary, Zach and I went on a picnic...in the back of my truck because it was raining. It was one of the cutest, most fun things we have done together! It was great because we got to spend over 2 hours together, eating, talking, and not worrying about school or work! I remember coming back and telling Kasee what a fantastic time I had doing something so simple.
If you haven't noticed by now, I'm the kind of person who would much rather spend time with those I care about than have them spend money on me, and vice versa (especially since I don't have much of it these days...). Time means so much more than any monetary gift I could ever give or receive. Each of these memories involves simply spending time with my family, friends, and wonderful boyfriend, and taking time to experience life with them and love on them a little bit. Yes, it's great when we get to go to concerts, movies, games, and whatnot...but if you haven't ever taken the time to just go on a picnic and simply enjoy spending time talking with someone...do it.
