Blogtember: 3 Months off, Useful Advice, Me Very Afraid.
So I missed a few days, Here's 3 days worth of topics from Jenni from the blog Story of My Life's Blog-A-Day Challenge Blogtember.
The Topics of This Week:
Wednesday, September 4: If you could take three months off from your current life and do anything in the world, what would you do? (bonus points for fun photos from Pinterest, but don't forget to cite the source!)
Thursday, September 5: Pass on some useful advice or information you learned and always remembered.
Friday, September 6: A story about a time you were very afraid.
3 MONTHS OFF
That is my my travel Vera Bradley bag and my Pillow Pet. If I could take 3 months off from life and do anything I'd travel. I would go on a road trip across the United States. I've always wanted to see all the cheesy landmarks and enjoy the landscape. I've watched a special on the Lincoln Highway and I think that would be a great place to start. it goes from NYC to Cali. I want to see all the historic sites, Mount Rush Moore, the Four Points, The Grand Canyon..etc. I imagine trying new food everywhere would be pretty great too. I would get a great camera to bring with me to and then maybe have an art show or write a book about my adventures. If there was still time after the U.S. trip maybe I'd go over to Europe. I wanna see the Mona Lisa, The Roman Colosseum, Florence, The Tower of Pisa, and Big Ben in person sometime before I die.
USEFUL ADVICE
I've been reading Gretchen Rubin's "The Happiness Project" It's really inspiring and she's got some get ideas and tips about happiness. This quote is my favorite so far so
I made one of my freebies for you with it. ENJOY!
A DAY I WAS VERY SCARED
The last time I remember being very scared was a year ago when my dad had to have surgery to remove cancer from hims colon. The last 3 years my dad has been there for me more than anyone else. I've always been a daddy's girl but without him my whole family would be lost and my world shattered. He's the biggest support system and the sweetest guy. The thought of losing him was the scariest feeling I've ever had. My dad is now cancer free and healthy. I'm very thankful for him everyday.

Blogtember: Where I Come From
I'm very glad that Jenni, from the blog Story of My Life is doing another Blog-A-Day Challenge for the month of September. This challenge is called Blogtember. I've been a little M.I.A. on here lately but hopefully this will motivate me to dive back into blogging.
The Topic of Today is:
Tuesday, Sept. 3: Describe where or what you come from. The people, the places, and/or the factors that make up who you are.
A lot of Factors contribute to who I am, one of the most common is my hometown, the small town, of Avoca. I currently live in Avoca, Pennsylvania. My Maternal Great Grandparents came to live in Avoca a long time ago. My grandparents started their family there too. My mother, aunt, and uncle spent most of their early lives growing up in Avoca. When my parents got married they lived in the apartment above my great-grandmother. My brother and I were babies and toddlers there. With the birth of my sister the apartment became a little too crowded so my family moved into our very own house in West Avoca. From Pre-K to 8th grade I went to the catholic school St. Mary's in Avoca. My family also belongs to St. Mary's Church in Avoca. My mom was employed by the church and school up until recently. I alter-served and eventually had my first job, a small clerical job, with the church. Most of my childhood friends lived in Avoca, and the first two relationships I had were with boys who lived in Avoca. I went away to college, and lived in Pittston for a few years but I am currently back in Avoca with my family. When I think of Avoca I think of home. I think of taking walks with my parents, riding bikes with my little sister, I think of my great grandparents. I also think of watching my brother play little league, I think of my childhood friends, I think of religion, I think of the trains that are always going through the town. Avoca was home to some of my favorite playgrounds, pizza, church picnics and people. A lot has changed around town but my memories and what the town has given me will not.
