Revised 30 Day Blog Challenge

Erin and I have made the decision to revise our 30 Day blog Challenge. I was browsing the web the other day for new blogs and came across a blog that also had a 30 Day Challenge but with completely different questions. Some I liked better than the ones on here so we decided to kind of combine the 2 and add a couple of our own. It may be seen as cheating but what the heck! So here it is the new 30 Day Challenge. We will be starting at #8 since we already did the first 7 ;)

Day #7--Amy

A picture of someone/something that has the biggest impact on you:

I can't possibly pick just one person/thing that has had the biggest impact on me. I can not begin to tell you all the people who have had a huge impact on me including my parents, brothers and sister, friends, other family members, church leaders, teachers, etc. So instead I will just spotlight one of the many people who have made a major impact on me in my 23 (almost 24) years of life. And that person is my Grandpa Fawson.

My Grandpa Fawson is one of the most amazing people I have ever known. He is not a flashy man by any means. He is actually quite the opposite. He is one of the most humble men I have ever known. He has never told me how to act or who to be but has taught me about the kind of person I want to be by his actions. He is someone I have always been able to count on and is always serving others. He is such a strong person mentally and physically and is one of the hardest workers on the planet even at the age of 92. I have such love and respect for this man and am so lucky to have him in my life. What an amazing example he is to me and to the rest of my family! I hope I can be half the person he is someday. Love you Grandpa!

Day #6--Amy

Favorite super hero and why:

Gotta say i'm not the biggest fan of super hero movies/comic books with a couple of exceptions but I will say that I have thoroughly enjoyed the latest instalments of the Batman films and am looking forward to the next one. So therefore Batman wins. It doesn't hurt that Christian Bale has stared in the last 2 films either. Just sayin' ;)

Day #5--Amy

A picture of somewhere you've been to:

About Five years ago our family went on a church history tour. One of our stops was Ontario Canada. Now no offense to all you Canada lovers but to me it's nothing too special. In my opinion it's a lot like the U.S. except colder and more expensive. Two things I'm not a fan of. While we were there we went to Niagara Falls and I must say it was absolutely beautiful! I know this is not the best picture but the pictures we took from the trip were on our computer and somehow got erased :( very sad story. Anyway this is the only picture I could find and it doesn't come anywhere close to doing it justice. When we first got there (the night before this picture was taken) it was pitch black outside and they had different colors of lights shinning on the water fall. It was so beautiful! The next day we went and took a ride on the maid of the mist (see the boats at the bottom of the first picture). We got extremely wet but it was so much fun! Definitely the highlight of being in Canada and one of the many highlights of that trip. Good times!

Pics of Niagara Falls at night. Obviously not taken by me but thought it might be nice to have a visual :)

Days #4 and 5--Erin

My bad habit---shopping. 'Nuff said. I am working on it, but I love shopping so much!

A pic of somewhere I have been. Here is a pic of me in Frankfurt, Germany May 2009. Was I supposed to be there---no. Was it part of the trip plan---no. Did we miss the midnight train from Paris to Madrid. You bet we did! And so Kristy, Adrienne and I had to buy a train ticket to Frankfurt and a plane ticket from Frankfurt to Madrid which ended up being about 200+ euro each. Costly mistake, but it was fun. Auntie Lynne got us hooked up with the Mission Pres. in Frankfurt and they fed us, took us out on the town and let us sleep over at the mission home. Then they drove us to the airport early in the morning. Such nice people! Here is a pic of me and their youngest son in the city. He was so funny. Good times!

Day #4--Amy

A habit that you wish you didn’t have:

Ok so before I answer this question I would first off like to apologize to my blog partner Erin for heckling her the other night to get her blog post up for day 3 when in turn I did not. I had every intention of doing it but ended up playing an all too long game of Monopoly, (worst board game in the history of board games) got home late, totally forgot about it and instead went to bed. That is still no excuse and I majorly failed :( Sorry Er!

So anyway getting back on subject, I was originally thinking I was going to use procrastination as the habit I most wish I didn't have but I talked about that already in my first post and I don't want to be repetitive. I have many bad habits so it wasn't hard to think of another. A habit of mine that has gotten a little out of control as of late has been my bad sleeping habit. I just never want to go to bed. Don't get me wrong I love sleep but the actual getting in bed part is really hard for me and especially lately. I work 3 12's at my job which if you do the math gives me four days off. I really don't have anything I need to wake up for on those days off so I feel as though I can stay up as late as I want and sleep in. Bad idea! Two nights this week I stayed up til 4am and didn't wake up til 11am which I guess isn't a huge deal until Tuesday night comes along and I have to be up at 7am but don't feel tired til 2 or 3am. Anyway It's become a very nasty habit of mine which I (and others) end up paying for (I'm not a very happy/friendly person when I'm tired). I should probably get another part time job to even things out but lets get real that most likely isn't going to happen :)
