When I Was 10...

I've been reading a lot of bios of different artists and writers that I admire. I've found that in almost every case they all came to the realization of what they wanted to be when they grow up when they were 10. When I was 10 I decided on three career choices:

1. Writer
2. Actress
3. Ballerina

In that exact order. Of course I "forgot" about my writing dreams for a while in my teens, but I came back to it. Always came back to it.

What did you want to be when you were 10?

A List for Tuesday

Trying to see the positive today, so here is a list of 10 Things I'm Grateful For That Aren't People (because that would take up all ten of the slots and that's dumb)

• Working internet.
• A car that runs well and gets me places.
• A silky blankie (even if mine is about two stitches from falling apart completely)
• Markers
• Cameras
• The ability to call my family whenever the mood strikes me.
• Books
• Comfortable couches
• Headphones
• The apps on my phone (specifically Pandora)

What are you grateful for?

Dane's 2nd Birthday Party

Here are my five favorite pictures from Dane's birthday party. The pictures were taken by my sister Heather, and they turned out amazing!

 The banner I made for Dane's party.

The font uses mustaches for every letter!

 Dane and Bah putting together his new Lego car.

 Aunt Amy helping Dane blow out his mustache candles.

 That is one good Oreo cupcake!

Like a sir!

The party was so much fun. Thank you to everyone who could come and we missed those of you who couldn't. More pictures and party details later this week!
