Something I'm Afraid Of-10th Day

I am afraid of a lot lol....insects (all of them), haunted houses, scary movies, noises in a dark house, cemeteries, and losing the people I love. The last one has to be my biggest fear. I want to keep the people I love around for as long as I can.

A Place I've Traveled To-8th Day

I've already talked about my San Francisco/Oregon Trip on the picture that makes me happy, so I'm going to talk about our first cruise we took.

In 2007, my whole family went to Cozumel, Mexico. It was one of my favorite vacations I've taken with my whole family. It was such a new experience to wake up and see the bluest water I've ever seen. I stared at it all the time. I'm so used to dirty Galveston water that I didn't realize places like that really exist. There were flying fish that would fly above the water for a few seconds and then go back under. Lol..Roger and my stepdad though me and my mom were making it up, I think. When we got to Cozumel, we did a snorkeling, Mayan Ruins, and a Light House Tour. The snorkeling scared me just a bit because I'm terrified of things in the ocean. It ended up being beautiful though once I got comfortable with it. You can see so far in that water. It's crazy! Definitely go snorkeling if you get the chance. Here are some pictures below :)

This picture makes me laugh because it says Don't Cross This Red Line...we are all crossing it. HA!

Favorite Movie Day-7th Day

I love this topic! Okay..my all time favorite movie has to be The Hangover. I could watch it every day and never get tired of it. I can't wait until the second one comes out this year. It's definitely going to have to be a midnight showing. :)

My other favorite movies are Twilight, New Moon, and Eclipse. Can't leave those pretty boys off the list.

I love movies with Vince Vaughn. I think he's hilarious! Wedding Crashers, Four Christmases, and Couples Retreat are some of my favorites of his.

Those are the main movies I can think of now. I love any comedy, romance, and drama movies. I don't like scary movies anymore. I've turned into a weeny about them. My favorite way to spend time with Roger is dinner and a movie. He knows that will make me so happy. We watch movies very often together.

A Picture That Makes Me Happy-6th Day

This picture makes me happy for many reasons. First, I'm with the person I love so much. Second, I've always wanted to go to San Francisco every since I watched Full House. I was in awe at this place. It's like you're in a picture. Everything is so beautiful. The Pacific Ocean was prettier than I could have ever imagined. When I first saw it heading out of Oregon, I was speechless. It's cold, but there are huge rocks in the ocean. It's a gorgeous color. I just know that I had a wonderful time on this vacation last summer and definitely want to go back. Plan to make a trip to go to see the Pacific Ocean and San Francisco in your lifetime! :)

New Experience

Tomorrow I go to sub training for a 6 week sub position I was offered. I am nervous, and I have no idea why. I think it's because I know NO ONE in Coldspring. Hopefully everyone will be very friendly, and it will be a good experience for me. I also have a couple of other teaching positions I am crossing my fingers on. God will make things work out how they're supposed to. :) Wish me luck! I hope everyone has a great new year.

Favorite Recipes

Hmm...I don't cook very often because of time and money, but I do enjoy cooking. One of my favorite things to make is Chicken Spaghetti. Roger loves it which makes it much more fun to cook because I know he likes it.

My Parents-4th Day

Things have been super busy. I'm just now getting time to update the 4th and 5th day today.

My parents are Sharon and Bill Large and Joe Winchester. My mom and dad were married for 20 years, but ended up divorcing when I was 9. My mom remarried to Bill Large which is my stepdad. They've now been married for 11 years. I love my parents very much.

My mom is my best friend. She is so positive, patient, and caring. She helps me in any situation, and never seems frustrated even when I'm being a 22 year old daughter at times. She is so much fun to plan a wedding with! Her ideas are great. I definitely want to live close to my mom after Roger finishes college. I cherish every moment I get to spend with her.

My dad is a lot of fun. He always has me laughing when I visit him. I don't see him as much as I want because of my busy schedule and Roger's work schedule. I'm excited for him to walk me down the aisle and dance with him. I will get to see him more this year because of the wedding, which makes me happy. I love him so much.

My stepdad is great. Like I said, my mom and Bill have been married for 11 years. I was a flower girl in their wedding in 1999. It's crazy how fast time flies. Bill has helped me so much while growing up and continues while I am still getting where I am going. He makes my mom so happy, and I couldn't ask for anything more.

Family is something that became very important to me when I started dating Roger. He showed me what it's like to have a great, positive relationship with your family. I am glad he did because they are all wonderful, and I love them so much.
