Day 02 - A picture of you and the person you have been close with for the longest.
Day 03 - A picture of the cast from your favorite show.

Hard to choose a winner...so left it at a tie.
Day 04 - A picture of your favorite night.

May 18, 2009 met Dave for the first time. Coffee at Cafe Intermezzo, Dinner at California Pizza Kitchen, Demons and Angels at Regal Cinemas, set in car till 3:30 am. Next night, met at Cafe Intermezzo again then stayed up all night, ate breakfast at IHOP and drove straight into work. Really great two nights.
Day 05 - A picture of your favorite memory.

This was one of the best days.
Day 06 - A picture of a person you'd love to trade places with for a day.

Okay...so she is beautiful and gets to sleep with a beautiful man. However, she has her pilot's license. She works with the refugee agency UNHCR. She is a lobbyist to our Congress on humanitarian affairs and is part of the Council on Foreign Relations. Wow...so what would I do on that day:

Use her money, pilot license, and influence to go and visit those refugee camps in Asia that she works with. That would be one amazing day. Then, call Brad for a booty call....hey, just being honest.
Day 07 - A picture of your most treasured item.

This day has had me thinking from the very beginning...however, there isn't an item that I treasure. I am not a materialistic type of person. Don't get me wrong...I like stuff. But, I will walk away from it all in a heartbeat if I so desired. So, when I think of what my most treasured item is... it would have to be my laptop. It keeps me connected to my loved ones that I can't see everyday, it is my bible, it is my library, it is my outlet to express myself, it holds pictures of all my memories, it operates a function in almost every facet of my life.
Day 08 - A picture that makes you laugh.

This picture has been one of my favorites for years. This was a great anti-valentine's night. :)
Day 09 - A picture of the person who has gotten you through the most.

My parents are the most amazing and always stand beside me no matter what.
Day 10 - A picture of the person you do the most messed up things with.

I do most of the stuff all by myself...no help required.
Day 11 - A picture of something you hate.

There is nothing worse than someone else treating another person, or any living thing for that matter, with disrespect and rudeness.
Day 12 - A picture of something you love.

This was taken at the Atlanta Botanical Gardens.

I love, love, love trees. They are amazing. I love to think of all the stories they could tell and all the things they have been witness to throughout their lives. And, they are so majestic.
Day 13 - A picture of your favorite band or artist.

Today's topic was seriously brutal...if you know me well, you know my music interests run deep and wide. But, I guess what ended up winning this huge dilemma in my spirit on who to choose...would be what do I always go to when I need that little pick me up, what "CD" have I completely worn out. If you can't get the band from the picture....you should be ashamed.
Day 14 - A picture of someone you could never imagine your life without.

This person that means so much to me is not someone that has been in my life long. He will probably kill me for writing this or posting this. I don't care, kill me. :p However, this person has grown to be a very special person to me. I don't believe that coincidences are by accident. I believe they are small signs that help lead our path and affirm it, if we are willing to pay attention. There has been no lack of coincidences in our meeting and the growth of our friendship. He is definitely a godsend in my life. I could not and would not ever imagine my life without him.
Day 15 - A picture of something you want to do before you die.
