10 Day You Challenge

I’ve had this image saved on my computer for more than a year.

The title is kind of weird, but the graphic caught my eye on Pinterest a long time ago and I thought it would make a fun mini blog post series. (If you know the original source of the image, please let me know as I would like to give credit where credit is due!)

I’m not planning to dedicate a whole blog post to each of these topics every day and I may even combine days, but the series seemed a lot like an extended blog survey and since we all know I am a huge sucker for surveys, I cannot figure out why it took me this long to get around to debuting it on PBF. Let’s get started!

Day Two: Nine Loves

Yes, I skipped the first day. I started to share 10 secrets, but I got stumped after three, so it was time to move on. This challenge is off to a great start, huh?

Anyway… Nine loves!

1. Ryan

Going strong since 2004! He’s so important to me and truly gets me in a way I cannot describe. He seems to understand exactly what I need when I am feeling down and makes me feel absolutely adored every single day. 

2. My Family

I feel incredibly lucky to have such a loving and fun family and amazing in-laws. They are the best people in the entire world.

3. Sadie

I know you’re totally shocked she made the list, right!? Sadie is the most joyful, playful, excitable little girl and I adore her more than I ever thought possible. I never quite understood the love people seemed to have for their pets until Ryan and I got Sadie and now I’m a lifelong member of the “way too obsessed with my dog” club.

4. My Girlfriends

I feel very fortunate to have forged lifelong friendships with women from every stage of my life. My best friends from elementary school/high school are still my best friends. My college girlfriends will be my best friends for years to come. The older I get, the more I realize how special quality friends are and I cherish these friendships and do my best to make the most of every opportunity I have to see my friends when we’re together.

5. Travel

Traveling is a passion of mine and I feel like I truly come alive when I explore new places and experience life outside of my little Florida bubble. I hope to take advantage of every opportunity I have to travel and see the world. A few bucket list places I’m dying to visit: Alaska, Australia, Thailand, Greece, the Maldives and Africa!

6. Reading

I’ve been a big-time reader all my life and there’s something about diving into a book at the end of a long day that relaxes me and transports me to another world. Books are the best.  

7. The Outdoors

I need to spend time outside every single day or I start to feel a little stir crazy. Sunshine and a long walk do wonders for me!

8. Exercise

Exercise is a true love for me because of the way it makes me feel inside. It’s a release, an escape, a way to have a bit of “me time,” something that gives me a daily sense of accomplishment, something that makes me feel empowered and so much more.

9. Ice Cream

Because it’s the best food on the planet.
