Day 5 - Picture of Your Favorite Memory

Last November my Dad took me to meet his Army Unit - 691st Forward Surgical Team.

These guys were AWESOME! After getting off to a rocky start, we bonded, and some of the medics taught me how to start an IV.

COOLEST.THING.EVER.

I felt very important to my Dad then, it made me feel special. I'll always remember this, because I felt really cool in that moment.

Day 4 - A Picture of Your Night.

Recently I had a lovely night outside in the sub-zero weather with

my armyman.

Obviously, since my post is boyfriend-centered, I'm going to take a moment to

describe him in one word - adorable.

Yes, we are kinda dorky, but it's sweet.

Day 3 - A picture of your favorite Cast

Chicago the movie is my all-time favorite version of this musical.

Naturally, being a Chicago resident originally, I had to see it the moment it was released onto DVD.

Richard Gere is a PERFECT, I mean spot-ON, Billy Flynn.

I've never been much of a Renee Zellweger person, but for Roxy Hart, she was outstanding.

LOVED Catherine Zeta-Jones in this also, she has EXACTLY the right range for Velma Kelly.

SO, if you have yet to watch this, either as a movie, or live, go to Netflix, Blockbuster, or the like and RENT IT! Pinky swear you'll enjoy!

Day 2

Day 2: A picture of you with the person you've been closest with the longest.

Me, Mom, and AuntieDear

This one requires a bit of explaining.

I love my mother. She's always there for me if I need her, and often when I don't. I miss her like crazy while I'm away at school, which means I LOVE spending time with her while I'm home.

She's a beautiful strong woman, whom I admire very much. My mom is my rock, my light, my all.

(and for those of you who think I'm a big cheese, she's gonna call me a

dork for writing all this sentimental stuff.) :)

ps: yes, Mom, I'm a dork, but I'm your dork. :)

Recruits?! WHAT?!

Hey y'all!

It's my first post in awhile because I've been MONDO busy with school.

That being said, I've also been quite busy diving. I finally got 5/6 dives, which is MUCH better than I had initially.

This week the PotsdamBears are hosting their annual meet the NCIs (North Country Invitational).

It's SUPER swamped, swimmers and divers all over the place! I love it!

With all that, my coach had a diving recruit come stay with myself, ladyfunk, and queenie for a night! It's very fun to show off all that is awesome about POTSDAM(!).

She's very sweet, and excited about visiting different schools.

This brings me back to three years ago when I was visiting all of my potential schools...good times. :)
