November Inspiration
I've decided that the photos can be new or old.
The original site had a list for photo ideas every month. I think that I am going to start doing this each month, as best I can.
So here we go...This post will include two since I just found it today :)
November 1, 2011-A Person I'm Thankful For
Robert Lee Peden
My amazing boyfriend. It's crazy to think about all that has happened in the last (almost) 4 years that we've been together. From the very beginning of our relationship, I knew this was something special. We actually go way back to high school, where we really got to know each other through Robotics! HA! We are such nerds :) We "dated" for a short time and but I broke up with him to date someone else. haha oh high school times. We still talked of course since we had some classes together and the school was so small. He graduated a year before me and went on to college. We didn't talk that much after that. A year later I started going to the same college and it turned out we lived in the same dorm. We occasionally saw each other in the "caf" but we wouldn't talk...just text each other and say "I see you" Totally random and weird but it was fun for us. A couple months into college I broke up with that guy (who was still in high school) and went on a few dates with people I had met at college. Bobby and I started talking more, mostly texting more. I went and hung out with him a couple nights in his dorm. Over Christmas break, we talked A TON on Facebook. We sent so many messages back and forth about random things it was crazy. When we got back to Tech (where we went to college) for the Spring semester, we started hanging out. Our first "date" was to a skating rink in Little Rock with Bobby's sister, her boyfriend, her friend and her boyfriend. It was pretty fun. From then on we spent so much time together. We never really talked about what we were doing (were we exclusive, etc.) Although I knew we were actually in a relationship, we just never talked about it and just went with it. I would stay in his room every night until curfew then we would stay up for another 2 or 3 hours talking on facebook. Somehow I made all A's that semester I think ;) Eventually it was "Facebook official" and we figured out a date that would serve as our anniversary. January 18th, 2008. We've been together ever since! From concerts in Texas, to NASCAR races, bowling with Matt & Colleen, TONS of movies, and everything in between...we are now living in Austin going to grad school. I am thankful for this man each and every day. I love you.
November 2, 2011-A Place I'm Thankful For
My home in Arkansas
While I love living in a place that it only takes a few minutes to get to the grocery store, any restaurant you could imagine, and tons and tons of stores, I will always be thankful for my home in Arkansas. Each time I go home, I get refreshed in a sense. It's so peaceful and slow-paced that I've almost forgotten what that is like, even though it's hasn't been a year since I've moved away. At night you can see the stars...only hear the occasional dog bark....it's pretty amazing. Arkansas in general is a place I'm thankful for. It's much more beautiful than any part of Texas I've seen so far. Austin has a large amount of trees and greenery, but due to the drought it's just really brown and ugly. I miss fall in Arkansas and reveling in the beauty driving on Hwy 7 from Tech to my Arkansas home.
