Day 10

A Picture of the Person You do the Most Crazy Things With


Heater Books.  I love this girl and I miss her tons!  She definitely brings out my crazy side.  I miss the good ole days of dance, you never knew what we were gonna get into!  Mooner #1 and Mooner #2!  (_|_)

Day 9

A Picture of the Person Who Has Gotten You Through the Most

This one was a no-brainer.


My Mom has always been there for me when I needed her.  She's gotten me through stupid cheerleading drama, she was there for me all throughout High School (because I HATED Byrd - still do), she helped me out at dance when things were getting hard, she's been there for me through boyfriend break-ups and other boy drama, and she's always been one of my biggest fans.  Needless to say if I ever needed advice or help with anything, my Mom is always there for me!

Day 7

A Picture of your Most Treasured Item

This one was super hard for me to pick because everything I have I love and everything I have means something to me.  So here is the first thing that popped into my head.


My 'My Little Ponies'.  When I was little my parents use to give me Ponies when I went to the bathroom (as an incentive for potty training).  A few years ago my sweet Dad started giving them to me again.  I have quite a few and I have one here with me in Minnesota.  They're just a little reminder of how special and how much my Dad means to me.

Day 6

A Picture of a Person You'd Love to Trade Places with for a Day


Who is this girl?  This is Vanessa Paradis.  Who in the world is that?  She is Johnny Depp's girlfriend.  They've been together for years and have two children together.  Need I say more?

Day 5

A Picture of your Favorite Memory

So let me start by saying that from now on I will be sticking to one picture (or at least trying to).  Craig said I was cheating because I was supposed to be only using one picture, it's so hard to choose though!

This one was especially hard for me to choose.  I have a lot of favorite memories.  I thought about the first Hunter Pace Brett and I went on (or any hunter pace for that matter), the night Craig proposed, the day we brought our little pup home, our honeymoon, our first date, beach trips with my family, I think I could go on for forever!  

This is what I decided on:


This is a picture of Chris Daughtry.  I love him.  The first Valentine's gift Craig ever got me was a pair of his sweatpants and tickets to see Daughtry in concert in North Carolina.  I was over the moon excited - especially since we only started dating on February 9th and this was my first Valentine's Day with Craig!  It was by far the most amazing concert I've ever been to.  We had to stand the entire time and we stood in line for HHHOOOOUUUURRRRRSSSS but every minute was well worth it!  We were right next to the stage - I could even see the song list.  I got to touch him twice - I never wash that hand.

Day 4

A Picture of your Favorite Night


I definitely have a lot of favorite nights, but the night of my Bachelorette Party has got to be #1!  It really was the best night of my life (so far)!  


All of my best friends were there to help me celebrate!


We started out at my FAVORITE Mexican restaurant downtown (you can never go wrong with Mexican Food) then we went to my favorite club downtown, 202!  


One of my closest friends, Heather, brought all of these little 'tasks' I had to complete before the night was over.  These are just a few of them!


By the end of the night I had a guy show me his bellybutton, I danced by myself in front of a TON of people, danced on top of a bar, completed all of my tasks and to top it all off I came home with two pairs of boxers from two random guys I've never met before - all thanks to my closest friends!

I love my girls!  I miss you all!

Day 3

A Picture of the Cast from your Favorite Show


This one was kind of hard for me to pick!  It was definitely a toss up between The Office and So You Think You Can Dance.  I went with The Office because Craig and I both love it.  A few weeks ago we just started at Season 1 and we're working our way through the whole thing.  Last night we just started Season 5 - Pam and Jim just got engaged!  I love Pam and Jim, they're just perfect!  :)

Day 2

A Picture of You and The Person You've Been Closest with the Longest


I have been closest with my Mom the longest.  She is like one of my best friends.  She's always there for me when I need her and will do anything in her power to help me out.  Apparently I received the nickname 'Queen' because of being a brat a dance competitions - and she still put up with me!  Although she may not make me cry like Dad does, I know she will always be there for me and I don't know what I would do without her.

I love you, Mom!

p.s. - sorry for being a brat!  :)

Day 1

A picture of yourself with 10 facts:


1.  I love my husband to death and I don't know what I would do without him and is goofyness.

2.  I miss my family like there is no tomorrow - especially my Mom, my little Dad, and Brett.
 
3.  My brother and I hated each other growing up - I don't regret it, in some twisted way I think it made us closer.  He's also the best horseman I know - fyi.

4.  I love riding horses except for the fact that I'm a big chicken - I wish I had more courage.

5.  I have scoliosis.  I wore a brace for 5 years of my life.  I still have a hump on my back because I will always be crooked.

6.  I use to love the snow - until I moved to Minnesota.

7.  I love to scrapbook, except I'm WAY behind right now.

8.  I love silly socks, and they NEVER match what I'm wearing - I'm totally okay with that.

9.  Johnny Depp is my favorite actor.  I will watch anything with him in it and never fall asleep.

10.  The best day of my life (so far) was my wedding day.

    First Blog!

    I've never done this 'blog' thing before but I figured I would give it a try!

    Welcome to our blog!  Enjoy!

    I figured for my first blog that I would go back and tell you guys about the day Craig and I got married .. almost 8 months ago (wow)!

    Craig and I got married on June 26, 2010 at Sundara in Boones Mill.  It was a b-e-a-utiful day, even though it was horribly hot!  I thought the wedding planning process was absolutely HORRIBLE and I wanted the wedding to be over so badly just so I didn't have to worry about the planning anymore.  That day came and went so fast.  It was one day in my life that I wish there were more hours in a day - it was by far one of the best days of my life and it went by way to fast!

    I thought everything about our wedding was perfect.  Everyone was there that we loved and our most favorite people were apart of our special day!

    This is one of my favorite pictures from our special day.  My Dad and my brother are my world, I couldn't look at them at all on my wedding day without crying!

     Dad had several tactics for distracting both of us so we wouldn't be a hysterical mess - it worked!

     Mr. and Mrs. Craig Jarrell - in our wedding video you can hear me say "Easy on the hair!"

     Another one of my favorites.  It's very "us".  

     By far my favorite moment of the reception was dancing "The Time Warp" with my family.  I could relive that moment again and again.

     I think this picture is absolutely gorgeous!

    The Glass family and the Jarrell family together!

    After the wedding we went on our Honeymoon in Mexico!  Two days after we got back we moved to Minnesota.  In October we got our first "child" (our dog) and thats how we became the A.B.C. Family!
