10 Day You Challenge {6 Places}

If you haven't noticed in many of my posts, traveling is a HUGE passion of mine.

As someone who wants to see as much of the world as she can in her lifetime, narrowing it down to 6 places is nearly impossible.

So, here are the first 6 places that come to mind!

6 Places

1.

Italy

2.

Greece

3.

England

4.

Ireland

5.

France

6.

Tahiti

Where would you go?

Happy Weekend!

10 Day You Challenge {7 Wants}

I'll just pretend here that it isn't November 1st (?!?!) and continue with the 10 day challenge!

7 Wants

1.

Win the Powerball

This would take care of the following wants & more.

2.

Pay off student loans

The amount of stress this would relieve from Vito & I's life.

Indescribable.

3.

Buy our first house.

I can't wait to share a house of our own.

That I can decorate however I want.

& host parties and dinners.

A place of our own.

4.

Have the beautiful wedding that we both dream of.

Weddings cost SO much money, even if you are trying to do it on a budget.

To be able to have the wedding we want without having to sacrifice eating for the next year or 3?

Yes please.

5.

Buy a DSLR camera

I LOVE taking pictures.

& I'd love to learn more about photography by shooting with a DSLR.

Because sometimes my point & shoot just doesn't cut it.

6.

Travel

There is so much world out there.

So much to see.

So much to experience.

It is calling my name.

7.

Finding the perfect job.

Now that I have a degree, I want to find a job that I enjoy.

One that lets me help others.

One that is rewarding.

Let's hear about your wants!

10 Day You Challenge {8 Fears}

Hey ladies.

This is where I should insert what happened over the past month.

Sickness. (2x)

NYC.

General craziness from October.

Life.

So let's just pretend I've been here the whole time and pick up where I left off?

Awesome.

Another day of the Challenge!

It's a pretty heavy, depressing post.

Enjoy! ;)

8 Fears

1.

Vomit.

It is my biggest fear ever.

It would most likely be diagnosed as a phobia.

In relation to me.

In relation to others.

This makes going to bars and riding public transportation hard for me.

It is not something I can handle.

At all.

2.

Losing my loved ones.

I can't even handle thinking about losing the ones I love most.

It is an instant anxiety booster.

3.

Clowns.

Ew. Just ew.

Clowns are SO creepy and I just.. ew!

Last time at a Halloween scary thing?

I'm pretty sure I left nail marks on one of my guy friend who was in front of my because one of the clowns followed me.

I walked out in tears.

No bueno.

4.

Not being enough.

General fear.

Not being enough.

Not being good enough.

Not being pretty enough.

Not being a good enough friend.

All of those self-doubting feelings.

5.

Bugs.

EW.

I hate any and all bugs.

Want to bring out the screaming girl in me?

Put me near a bug.

I freak out.

Especially bees.

They seem to be the worst.

EW!

6.

Never losing weight.

I'm terrified that I'll be this weight forever.

That I will continue this self-hating attitude because of my weight.

I fear I'll never be happy with myself and that isn't okay with me.

7.

Becoming pregnant.

I feel selfish having this fear.

With all the wonderful women I know who have struggled getting pregnant/are struggling to get pregnant.

& here I am praying I don't.

Sigh.

8.

Being stuck in life.

I fear often that I'm stuck.

Same job.

Same place I'm living at.

I have so many hopes and dreams and when I don't see visible progress, I fear this is the way it will always be.

I want to travel the world and have a job where I'm making a difference in people's life and live somewhere where it doesn't snow.

I fear the aspect of no change.

What do you fear?

10 Day You Challenge {10 Secrets}

A day late, but here is the 10 Day You Challenge I spoke of in Wednesday's post that I found on Jenny's blog.

Welcome to day one!

10 Secrets

1.

I still sleep with a giant stuffed dog my sister gave me when she moved out when I was 11.

2.

After High School graduation, our school has a lock-in at the school. Oodles of food, DJ, swimming, hypnotist. They went all out. It was actually pretty awesome. Once the doors unlocked at 5am to go outside, myself and two other grads went out to the one guy's car. He had a bottle of champagne. We popped it and drank champagne in the High School's parking lot, toasting to the end of your high school careers. Then went back instead and enjoyed the rest of the lock in.

3.

Even though I love and adore children, I don't think I want to have any of my own.

People often make me feel like I'm "missing" something within myself because of this.

4.

One of my biggest regrets is not going away for college.

5.

Whenever I'm in my car, my radio volume number has to be in increments of 5.

6.

My sister was the first person I called after Vito asked me to marry him but when I called my mom next, I told her she was the first person I called.

7.

I have zero self confidence.

8.

I wish I was more artistic.

I often envy artistic talent that other people possess.

9.

Anytime Hanson releases a new CD, I have to buy it.

I may not love them like I use to (think plastering my wall with Zac Hanson pictures because he was obviously going to marry me one day), but I still love their music.

10.

I have the biggest black thumb ever.

My mom even bought me a cactus as a child, thinking that I could keep that alive.

Wrong.

I've killed a cactus.

Fail.

Feel free to join in on the challenge with me!

Happy Friday & the first day of fall!
