Day7

A picture of your most treasured item:
Okay...they aren't really an "item"...but they are by far the ones I treasure most in life... so... I choose them... and their baby brother or sister... and their daddy. :)

Day6

A picture of a person you'd love to trade places with for a day:

Hmmm...This one is going to require some thinking....hmmmmmm. I mean. I love my life. Sure- it has it's ups and downs...and sure- it's only for a day... but I dunno if you know this...but there are a TON of people in the world! And to choose one person... that's gunna require some thinking... Hmmmm....

Is this lame or what... I'm going to NOT post a picture today... I mean... I can think of a list of people who's lives I'd be fascinated to have more insight on... but... alot of these people would be for random and superficial reasons... so.... I choose... noone.

Day4&5

Day4- A picture of your favorite night





















Well, this should be obvious. I mean....I've had many a GREAT nights... but my favorite was when I married my BFF. :) ::awwww::



I'm totally lame and forgot to post yesterday...so here's today's challenge picture:

Day5- A picture of your favorite memory














Like my post for Day4...I have many favorite memories...but one that will always be a top 3 will be the birth of my children. Each one has been unique so far... but each one has been perfect. I will never EVER forget the day that I became a mommy the first time... the joy I felt holding my newborn son...and finally knowing that IT'S A BOY! :)

Day3

A picture of the cast from your favorite show:















This is by far...the BEST show that has ever been on television. I first watched LOST during it's first season. I couldn't get into it. I mean... I couldn't understand how a show about people who crashed on an island would last longer than a season. I mean... surely SURELY someone will find them and rescue them and BOOM. End of show. Then there were some wiggity wack things like polar bears and "ghost monster" things that just put it over the top for me.

Right before we had Jude... our good friends, the Conners, raved and raved about the show and let us borrow the seasons on DVD (I think it was like 1-4 or something). Let me tell you. Wow. I couldn't stop! I wanted to know what was next! The more you watch...the more questions you have, but the more you understand too! I quickly fell in love with Jin and Sun... Claire and Charlie ::tear:: and baby Aaron... Sawyer... Sayid... Kate... Hurley... and ::sigh:: Matthew Fox... I mean Jack. ;)

It's a really awesome AWESOME show... that you really need to stick with and watch. Great message too. ::sigh:: Now I'm having LOST withdrawals... ;)

Day2

A picture of you and the person you have been closest with...
















Well...I mean it's obvious that I'd be "closest" to Derrick...so I chose one of my girlfriends! There are a few other people I could have posted a picture of myself with...but I heart me some Jaime!

The first time I "met" Jaime... I didn't know that she was going to be a member on my 4th grade team. Actually...we didn't really officially meet... just happened to be at the same place at the same time. It was the summer before my first year of teaching. I was so jazzed to have my own classroom to decorate that I think I was there a month before school started to get everything ready. Good thing I did...b/c the teacher who had the classroom before me was OBSESSED (understatement) with cows. OBSESSED. To the point...that her rewards system was "cow patties"... and her bookshelves were painted white with black spots. Um. Yes. These were the bookshelves that I found awaiting all my precious books. Um. Yes. and Um, no thank you. So... I hunted down the Principal's secretary to ask her (beg her!) if I could paint them... b/c there was NO way I could teach with moocow shelves all around me!!! So... there I was... explaining that the shelves "hurt my soul"... while this little blonde girl is waiting her turn behind me. Apparently she went and told her then- BF, Jonathan that some random big tall chick said something hurt her soul... I'm sure she thought I was bizzare... LOL! :D

I'm so very thankful for Jaime. I don't think words will ever express that enough...

30 Day Photo Challenge

How cute! I saw this on Derrick's cousin's FB page and I've decided to steal the idea for my blog! ;) Each day for 30 days, I will post a picture with a specific theme... They don't have to be pictures I have taken, per se, but will give you a glimpse into the world of kimbasa! :)

I think some of BlogFF's should join me!!!


Day 1- A picture of yourself with 10 facts:













(Hey, no one said it had to be a flattering picture!!!)

10 facts:
1. I'm an only child... although I have a 1/2 brother...and supposedly a 1/2 sister...
2. I am terrified of heights...
3. I've learned that my house will NEVER be as clean as it used to be...
4. I love California...
5. I'm the oldest cousin/grandchild on my mom's side...the youngest on my dad's...
6. I wish that I could speak my mind at ALL times... but I'd get in a LOT of trouble...
7. I don't "get" people sometimes...and can't comprehend why some people make the choices they do...
8. The older I get...the more I understand Ecclesiastes 3:1-13
9. ...understanding it doesn't make it any easier to live it...
10. Craig Groeschel said something at Catalyst OneDay that will stick with me forever... He said
"Husbands… you are the only one who can be a husband to your wives. Wives… you are the only one who can be a wife to your husbands. Fathers… you are the only one who can father your children. Mothers… you are the only one who can mother your children." Now... he was talking about ministry- and not sacrificing family over the time/stress/thoughts towards ministry... but still... it's a true story... and I need to try to remember it more often...

...The Lovely Bones...

#76 Read 50 Books















Well. I've read 8 out of the 50 books (nine if you count that I read Mockingjay twice!) I'm working slowly but surely! It's been alot more difficult to find time to read once Emme became mobile...

Anywho. Hmmm. What to say about this book? Hmmmm. Well. I didn't like it. Not even a little bit. I wanted to read this because I've been wanting to see the movie- but wanted to read the book first. It's a story about a young 14 year old girl who was brutally assaulted and murdered on her way home from school. This tragedy rocks her little neighborhood and tears her family apart. The book follows the dead girl, Susie, in her afterlife...as she watches what unfolds on earth. It's creepy, really, how much she sees and who she watches. She so desperately wants her murder caught...but being a ghost or whatever she is kinda makes it difficult to do anything about it. ...but then...sometimes she can be seen...I.don't.know. It was all gruesome and sad and looooong! And I was bummed at the ending... I had some awesome ideas of how it should end... but I had more WTH moments than anything else! Blah!

I hope the movie is better...
