happy.

Day 6. A photo of something that makes you happy.

Things That Make me Happy:

1. one word :SUMMER.



2. This is going to sound extremely worldly/shallow but I'd be lying if I didn't say money makes me happy. It doesn't BUY happiness, but it can help make you even happier. (I believe.)
3. Driving. Just me, the radio, and my trusty Nissan. (I guess you could say i'm pretty high class ;)
4. ELEVATORS. Side note: I always take the stairs at my apt. Unless of course I'm with a special someone. (you know who you are ;)
5. Adventures. Preferably spontaneous ones.
6. TEXAS ROADHOUSE. All I gotta say is mmmm...

7. Modern Family. My lovely sista Shan got me HOOKED! Let's just say an episode is almost always playing in our apartment. I laugh so hard my stomach hurts after.
8. Motorcycle Rides (Kinda a given)
9. Running Shoes. love the smell and the feel.
10. Family and Friends.

day five

A song to match your mood.

If It's Love-Train "We can travel to Spain where the rain falls Mainly on the plain side and sing 'Cause it is we can laugh, we can sing Have ten kids and give them everything"

Little House-Amanda Seyfried "I love this place, but it's haunted without you."

Jack and Diane-John Mellencamp "Oh yeah life goes on Long after the thrill of livin is gone"

Day 4.

Day 4: Your parents

Oh man. where to begin?? I have absolutely wonderful parents. They have been there during my happiest and saddest times. and will continue to be. They have always supported me and given me the things that i need. Everyday I'm grateful for the things they have taught me and great examples they will always be to me.

Dad: the most hardworking, dedicated person I have ever met. He has taught me to work hard for exactly what you want. He always tries to be open minded to my ideas and gives great advice. He believes in me and that's a big deal.Ever since I was just a little girl he has always been the person I look up to in the world. I'm so glad i get to see him often and very grateful for everything he does for our family. He's smart and knows a lot about many different things. Sometimes we butt heads just because our personalities are a lot alike, but we also think along the same page most of the time and use that to our advantage. I love him more than he could ever know.


Mom: An amazing person who would do anything for anybody. She is always looking for ways to help out. She is very spiritual and has taught me many of the things that i know. she always tries to make everyone happy and she even laughs at my jokes ;) I love that she has showed me what it looks like to be a loving,caring mother. She has always been there for me when I need her and is always up for a good time. She has that "mother instinct" and can always make me feel better, even on bad days. She is a wonderful cook and always keeps our home nice and tidy. I love her very much.

day 3.

oh man I'm kinda getting a bad feeling about this whole 30 day thing. I'm already getting a bit bored with it. Anyway...

day 3-Your First Love

whew. i feel like this subject has potential for major awkwardness. major. Sooo I'm gonna go with my first absolute TRUE love.






John Stamos.Luscious locks.Boyish grin.Piercing eyes.Rockin' bod.I'm still holding out for him. ;)

numero dos.

Day 2: Meaning behind your blog name

Ok call me crazy but I feel like this is the lamest subject.. EVER! Um "Life as I know it" pretty much explains itself. It's a place for me to put random thoughts, pictures, & adventures from my day to day life. (which does get pretty intense sometimes so stay tuned) ;) Ohh and also it's a line from one of my favorite movies "P.S I Love You." they always say "watch out for that moment.. when life as you know it... ends." (they are referring to something major in your life like love)

Day One.
