Blast from the past....About Me

For you bloggers out there, have you ever gone back to your humble beginnings of when you first started writing your blog? I'm started writing mine in April of 2005! I know....can you believe 4 years I've been rambling on and some of you have stuck around...go figure? :)

Well I was going through some old posts and I found this one called About Me, posted June 17th, 2005. In reading my answers I found it funny that some were the same and how some have changed. So today I'm doing an updated About Me post....2009 style. I'm just adding notes to the original answers....where applicable.

LAYER ONE: On The Outside

- Who you look like: everyone says my dad, I don't see it.....he he
- Your weakness: honestly I don't know what to write here, I'm going to say my contrariness cause I feel like its what makes me a bad person sometimes :( (I'm happy to say I'm much better than I used to be 4 years ago....yes I still have moments but I'm really not as hot headed as I once was....I'm so proud to say that! Yeah me....I'm growing! he, he)

- Your most missed memory: Fires on the beach with all my highschool friends, listening to the guys play guitar and harmonica. (aaaahhh how things change...now it's the old scrapdays with Jen & Myrna, eating junk food and just giggling over nonsense...yeah I miss those days)

- What do you want to be when you grow up: I have no idea, sometimes I think I want to be a stay at home mom, other times I think maybe I should open my own business...I'm still young let you know when I figure it all out :)  (I've since realized that I want both....to be a professional photographer and a stay at home mom, somehow it'll all work out. In due time...I'm just having faith and working towards that goal)

LAYER NINE: In The Numbers...

- Number of CDs that you own: Kristen burns and owns most of our cd's (this hasn't changed at all!)
- Number of Tattoos: none, I've realized that I like them on other people sometimes but definitely don't want one for myself. I don't like when they're peeking out of clothes cause then it makes the person look dirty...weird I know but its how I am

If you see failure as a monster stalking you, or one that has already ruined your life, take another look. That monster can become a benevolent teacher, opening your mind to successes you cannot now imagine.
