Day 15 - A picture of something you want to do before you die.

I would love to scuba dive in beautiful clear water with fishies!

In my life, there haven't been a lot of constant people in it. I've moved a lot- my only true roots are to a state where I barely know anyone. (I still love Alaska more than air) but there haven't been a lot of people that have known me very well. There have been a handful of people though, who've truly made large impacts on my life. I'd be a fool to name all of them, as well as a fool to not say that these people immediately come to mind. 


First one is obviously the man I married. 

That being said, I have no idea as to what he's up to here.

The second would be this couple: Jim and Peggy Evans.  They were our mentors: spiritually,  financially- in almost every way possible.  They were our examples in marriage. They did our pre-marital counseling. They showed us how to live peacefully, how to handle family drama. Peggy especially showed me so many things that I needed to know before I  became a wife.  Cooking, cleaning, craft things, everything I was missing.

This one was really hard. It's seems the music I listen to changes a ton. Yet... these guys, as well as Jon Foreman have always had a very, large place on my playlists. I've seen them in concert probably 12-15 times. 


Yep, I love me some Switchfoot. 

Day 11: A picture of something you love.

A picture of something you love...  this was easy.
The Kenai Peninsula. Glorious mountains, volcanoes, beaches, fishing, awesome and glorious space.

A picture of something you hate.

This was a hard thing. I thought about how to put into words the things that I hate about this world, and this was the closest I could get for a description. 

wow, they have a lot to answer for.

The phrasing of this particular day is a bit odd: so I'll clarify.  These ladies, these are very special: we do the most spontaneous and outrageous things together. Lately I haven't been able to see them much, which makes me very sad. 


Lady 1: Joy Lewis. This photo, I believe was taken on the way to get my second tattoo done. :) With her we've done crazy 14 hour road trips, bad hair dye jobs (ketchup, anyone?) shetchy neighborhoods, wedding drama, etc.  

Lady 2: Shannon Finn. My psych sister! We've gone through so many things together and come up with great ideas.  We've done tattoos and piercings together (especially after neurobiology class was over!!)  She's currently rocking the criminology graduate school Ivy League style in the crazy city of Phillllyyydelphia. (brotherly love there, not so much I hear...)
