Day 1: A letter to your best friend

Dear Anna,


I don't exactly remember the day we met, but I know that it was a very very long time ago.  You have seen me through the best and worst of times, good and bad, and have been right there, the whole time.  It's funny how we can go weeks without talking, but when we do talk it's like we've just picked up where we left off. You have encouraged me, lifted me up, and helped me get through some of the worst points of my life.  Whether it's a big hug or a swift kick in the behind, you've always been there for me, and there aren't enough words to thank you.  Like I've always said "Jason might be the love of my life, but you, you are my soul mate."  Thanks for being not only my best friend, but my sister. I can't wait to see where God takes us in the next stages of our lives!


Love you always,
Heather

Day 5: Your Favorite Quote

"Where there is love there is life"---Ghandi


There are many many reasons I love this quote.  Mainly, because I believe everything and anything should be done with love.  Now, I'm not talking you should be "in love" with every activity or every person you come across, but approach everyone with love and be passionate about everything you start, and if you put forth all of your passion and everything that you have, you will see how much it pays off.

Day 4: Your favorite book

My  favorite author is Nicholas Sparks, and my favorite book is The Notebook.

I love this book, because I love love stories.  I will admit that I cry harder every time I read it.  It's a must read!

Day 3: Favorite television show

I love watching TV! I probably watch it more than I should (LOL), but nothing relaxes me like laying on the couch watching TV.

Some of my favorite shows are....

They always play marathons of "The Rachel Zoe Project" on Bravo and I love it!

Day 2: Your Favorite Movie

I love all kinds of movies, but my ABSOLUTE favorite movie is Serendipity.

This movie stars John Cusack and Kate Beckinsale and is about destiny and fate, but it's also funny.  Jason and I watched the DVD and I watched it so many times the DVD was worn out! I definitely recommend it!

I just wanna celebrate and live my life :)

So, here's some background.  Anna and I have been friends since we didn't even know what friends were.  We went to the same daycare, and became the best of friends.  We went to a different elementary school, but went to the same middle and high school.  We go to the University of Pittsburgh together too!

Since we have both been busy working and taking summer classes this summer we didn't see each other at all.  We decided that we needed some girl time and good food.  I've never had Thai food, so I was really anxious to try it.  I had Pad Thai and Anna had Shrimp Pancakes and tofu in peanut sauce.  I actually liked what Anna had more haha!  It was definitely some good girl time, but hopefully next time we will just stick to Chinese food on campus.

Here's Anna holding the menu to the restaurant.

Our food! Anna's is on the right, mine is on the left.

Day 1: Your favorite song

I have so many favorite songs, how am I supposed to pick just one?

well, my favorite Christian song is "Revelation Song".  Now I love whatever version is played, but my favorite is by Gateway Worship.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_fsrQFWb-xc
One day when I was in church, our worship leaders played this song, and I started to cry, and that was the day I accepted Jesus into my life (and I'm never turning back!).

another favorite song of mine is "Smile" by Uncle Cracker.  I love this song because it is mine and Jason's song (well one of many of our songs!).  Every time I hear it it reminds me of him, and how blessed I am to have him. Okay I'll stop gushing because I'll get to gush later!

both of these songs are in my playlist, but I posted the youtube links just in case you want to view the music videos.

I hope everyone has a blessed day, I'll be back tomorrow for day 2!

30 days of ME project :)

Well, this is my first blog, and I'm kind of excited about it. I remember when I was younger I would keep diaries and journals, and I'm so excited to start doing it again! I truly believe that journaling/blogging whatever you want to call it is an awesome way to clear your thoughts, and truly get to know yourself better.  I hope you enjoy it as much as I and thank you for sharing in this journey with me!
