Day 3: The Person You Have Been Close to for the Longest

Ivy's 22nd Birthday Party. July 2010
This is my Ives. I have known her since, oh kindergarten I believe. We have been through so much together. She has always been the first one to call when something bad happens and is one of the first that I call when I have good news to share. We are not only close in this aspect, our houses are literally within walking distance of each other. Although we don't live in the same town right now, we still make time to catch up when we are both in Albany. Or, when I don't go home for a lengthy period of time, we have our phone calls.

Ivy is one of those few people in my life that I can just sit in a room with, in total silence, and it not feel awkward. She is also one person that I can just look at and she knows what I'm thinking, even if no one else in the room gets it. She understands me when I mumble things, and can tell when something is wrong even when I try my best to hide it.

My Ives is going to revolutionize the world one day. She has a heart for missions and is living that out right now in Albany, but I know one day she will be called to go. I look forward to this day. Yes, I will be sad when she is oceans away, but I know that's what God has her on this earth for and I can't wait to see his plan fulfilled in her life.

Day 2: The Person You Do the {Craziest} Things With

es, I changed the title of this one. Because, well frankly, I just didn't like the sound of "messed up".

This took some serious thinking. Once upon a time I had a partner in crime. We frequently did crazy things and schemed up even crazier things that, unfortunately, never came into existence.  Then he broke my best friend's heart and we are no longer friends. Therefore, I have lost my partner in crime and have had to resort to riding solo in my craziness.
While I do have friends that will not hesitate to go on an adventure with me, when I want to do anything exceptionally outlandish they mostly just shake their heads and laugh. So, right now I am riding solo in my craziness but am currently holding auditions to fill that opening in my life.

This is me "Whack(ing) a Knight" at Relay for Life last year. Possibly one of the most fun things ever!

Day 1: A Picture and 15 Facts

Let me preface this post by saying that these facts are very random, because A) I wanted this post to be interesting & B) coming up with 15 facts that everyone doesn't already know is difficult! So here goes it...

1. I love to color more than the average person.


2. I really really really like crunching leaves. I will even go out of my way if I see an exceptionally crunchy looking leaf that has been overlooked by other passers-by.

3. I HATE feet. I don't really know when this even started, but over the years I have developed a somewhat irrational hatred for feet. My own feet don't bother me, and shoes don't really bother me, but for some reason bare feet really freak me out. So I would greatly appreciate it if you didn't bring yours anywhere near me.

4. I was in a movie {Facing the Giants}. If you haven't seen it, go watch. I was a cheerleader.

5. I have insanely strong fingernails {I did warn you that this list was random}. My nails are so strong that I once broke a pair of nail clippers while I was trying to trim them.

6. I love scarves and will wear them year-round, no matter what anyone says.

7. I have the memory of a goldfish and the attention span of a 2 year old. Which is why it is taking me entirely too long to write this post.

8. I have my own pair of ice skates! Now, I know what you're thinking- When are you ever going to use them. Well, see, that's not the point. I love white ice skates and figure skating in general, and when given the opportunity to purchase my own pair for a measly $20 I jumped right on it.

9.  I take pictures. As if you hadn't already gathered that from this blog.

10. My mom, sister, and I have the same birthmark on our foreheads. It's not as noticeable now as it was when I was younger, I bet some of you didn't even know it was there.

11. I've been told that I'm really a black man. Do with that information what you will.

12. I can name all of the U.S. Presidents in under 30 seconds.

13. I have never broken a bone. I've been close on a couple of occasions, but not a single bone in my body has ever even had a hairline fracture.

14. I sing every song I know. Out loud. I hardly ever take into consideration where I am or who can hear me, and I often break out into my own dance moves.

15. I have Bieber Fever and I'm not in the least bit ashamed. His movie, Never Say Never, sealed this realization for me, I even re-followed him on Twitter. I know, that's huge.


Well, there you have, a little snippet of who I am. I promise the next posts won't take as long for me to crank out. As I stated, I am highly prone to distractions....
