Love Week: Birds

Wondering what Love Week is?

Sigh...it's stolen. I will totally admit it is not my idea. I stole it from a friend {who stole it from someone else} {it's a vicious cycle}.  BUT it's this adorable idea for Valentine's where every day for the week before you post about something you love. 

Who doesn't want a week full of talking about things you LOVE? {eeeek!}

To start with, I love birds.

I'm pretty sure I picked it up from my mom.

Just to be clear, I'm not talking about real birds here. I will never, ever, ever, ever have a bird as a pet. Because....yuck.

But fake birds? 

Different story.

Pretty and porcelain.

I think part of the reason I love them so much is because of what they embody~ freedom, singing, sweetness, springtime, happiness.....

I totally love birds.

You guys should jump on board this whole Love Week thing. It kinda makes you feel all warm and fuzzy....and full of love.

There's a First Time for Everything

Since I'm still working out how to post my pictures from Photobucket {that site is NOT happy with me}, I decided to do a little Q&A for you. I saw this on another blog and I think it's kinda fun.

You're fascinated already, I can tell.

1. First thing you do when you wake up in the morning:

Blink like a madwoman {why are mornings so bright?}.

2. First thing you do when you get home from work:

Honestly? Usually I have to pee.

3. First kiss:

I thought it was incredibly romantic-- it was in the rain. Although, technically, we were inside. Eh, but who cares! It was my first kiss. ;)

4. First home:

The first house I remember growing up in was a duplex in Bountiful, Utah. My first home after I moved to college was in Cedar City, Utah.

5. First car:

The awesome little '93 Honda Accord that now belongs to my brother! Yep, she's still running.

6. First car accident / traffic violation:

My first ticket was on the freeway heading home one weekend from Cedar City. It was totally unfair.

7. First thing you wanted to be when you grew up:

The little mermaid! Baha!

8. First choice of beverage:

Orange juice. Deeeeelicious.

9. First choice of dessert:

Now that's a tough one. Mmmm....at the moment I'm feeling Mountain Dew Cake.

10. First choice of restaurant:

For fast food: Taco Time. For sit-down, Olive Garden.

11. First song that comes to mind:

Two Black Cadillacs, Carrie Underwood.

12. First major purchase:

Its happening this week! The Christopher and I are buying our very first brand-new washer!

13. First job:

I scored the glamorous job of sales associate at Old Navy.

14. First time you flew on a plane:

I think it was for the choir trip in high school. New York, baby! Wait...maybe it was San Francisco...

15. First real "grownup" job:

Copywriter! I was super lucky to score my first freelancing job last year; this year I'm working on my second! It makes me very excited.

Well, there you are. Fifteen firsts. Did you learn something new?
