This post has nothing to do with the 30 day challenge

Do any of you remember this show about a robot girl who is adopted by a human family and could clean the entire house in about 2 seconds?





What about this one, with Ben Savage's older brother Fred?


I was thinking about tv shows I used to watch as a tiny tot in the 80's and these are some of my favorites.


Who's the Boss, with the oh so funny and charming manny (male nanny).

Mr. Belvedere, the babysitter of three bratty kids who is is secretly writing a novel about the community.


Kirk Cameron was such a hottie in Growing Pains, I especially loved the episodes with Leonardo DiCaprio.



Another one about a babysitter, Charles in Charge (of our days and our nights).



Who didn't love ALF...



And Golden Girls?



And probably my most watched show.... Full House.


These are just the non-cartoon shows I watched. I must have been in front of the tv all the time.

So what shows did you watch as a kid?

Day 8 - A Song To Match Your Mood

At 7:52 AM - Forget You by Cee-lo Green

Day 7 - Your Dream Wedding

Of course I'm going to talk about my wedding because I thought it was pretty perfect. I worried about the weather because we were having an outside reception, but there were blue skies and it did not reach 100 degrees.... just 98. I was a little sad that there wasn't a chocolate fountain, but I didn't get to eat any of the food anyway, so it didn't matter.
The couple...

The decorations...

The cutest niece ever!


Kit's truck...haha




The food that I didn't get to eat...


My beautiful cake. It turned out perfect!!!


My beautiful sisters and me
I think this little romance was rekindled at our reception (Kandice and Cody)


Oh... and did I mention that Chant, my brother-in-law, had this awesome mullet???

It was a great day!

Day 6 – A photo of an animal you’d love to keep as a pet.



Someday I have to have a West Highland Terrier. Everytime I see one on a Milk Bone box or the Caesars commercials I tell Kit how cute they are and how much I love them. I think Koda would get along great with one, too.

Day 5 – A photo of yourself two years ago.

This is us in Hawaii about two years ago. We never take pictures and when we do, we are both in them.

Day 4 – Your favorite photograph of your best friend.

So this one was kinda hard because I don't really hang out with friends anymore, but my best friend friend is Kandice. This picture was taken on our last day of college. Yay! There were more favorites, but I thought I wouldn't embarrass either one of us.

Now that I am old and married, I mostly just hang out with the fam. I have a few faves of Baily. This one is just a funny face that makes me laugh.
This one is when we had to share a room and bed for a while and she was pretending to be a banana. We had good times
Here's the rest of the sisters. I think they all look really pretty in this picture.
LOVE ALL THESE GIRLS!!!

Day 3.... The perfect first date

Eating somewhere yummy, like Tucanos, and then going to a Jazz game...... Oh wait, that's what I'm doing tonight! Pretty much perfect, I'd say.


I actually hate first dates, so I'm glad I'm past that point in my life.










Day 2... My Job

I work for the Division of Child and Family Services as a caseworker in the out-of-home unit. I have my social service worker license (all that means is that I make more money than I did before I had it). My main responsibilities are to make sure my kids are safe, have food and clothing, and are going to school. I work with their bio families to try to prepare them for the kids to come home. I make sure they are attending therapy and receiving all of the support they need to be successful on their own. If it becomes obvious that the parents aren't going to get their crap together I either work with the kid to help them get ready to be on their own or work towards adoption with the foster family, it depends mostly on the age of the child. I spend a lot of time in the car and a lot of time on the phone, which is not one of my favorite thing. I also go to court a few times a month and have had to testify on the stand on a few occasions. That scares me still.

I love that I have Fridays off, but I hate working 10 hour days Monday-Thursday. I love seeing little ones get adopted by great people, but hate seeing parents who don't or can't get their lives in order. I love getting paid to care, but I hate that I think about work all the time. It is a very emotionally draining job, but it can be rewarding.

30 Day Blog Challenge

I'm totally stealing this from someone. I never know what to blog about. The only interesting thing are the audible books I listen to while driving, so this is perfect for me! So here goes day 1: A picture of myself and ten facts:



1. I have been married for over 2 1/2 years.



2. I live in Roosevelt in a great home.



3. I am 24. YIKES!



4. I have no idea what my natural hair color looks like, but think it's probably not as bad as I thought it was when I was 16 and decided to start dying it.



5. I'm the youngest of four girls, or the middle of 7 children. Confusing, I know.



6. I love my little dog, Koda.



7. Mt. Dew and Chocolate are my weaknesses.



8. I'm the Young Women's president in my ward.



9. I have my dream car.



10. I love being with my family more than anything else. It's even better if I can be with my family at Disneyland or somewhere warm.
