I want to TRAVEL!!! There are a few more places I would like to visit but these are my top 3!!!! I would love to be able to spend a week minimum at each place. I want to get lost in the culture, explore everything there is to explore and learn as much as I possibly can about each place!

I am headed to the Willamette Country Music Festival this summer for 3 days of camping and country music and Mr. Alan Jackson is one of the headliners!!!!!!! I cant wait!

Day 12

A picture of something you love.
Good lord, just 1? I could post 100's of pictures of things I love.

It's a given that my daughter is the thing I love the most but I'm pretty sure any of you reading this knows that by now, so why not post something else you probally dont know. There again that could be 100's of things but lets go with this....

YUMM!!! I LOVE sushi! It hasn't always been this way. Most of my life actually I thought it was the most disgusting thing EVER, even though I had never tried it. I guess it was just the thought of consuming raw fish that turned me off. I grew up in a small town with a family of avid hunters so I was used to my meat being dead, butchered and well cooked not fresh out of the water and now on your plate. Then one day I decided I had the courage to try it. Now this courage may not have been entirely I guess you could say my own for a better word, it was guided with the help of a little friend me and my girls refer to as LC!!! Liquid courage! I was at a wine and food festival in downtown Portland after all. So after quiet a few taste tests I decided it was time for me to broaden my horizons!!! Best decision I ever made! Ok well maybe not the best but it's up there!! Sushi and I now have a wonderful relationship and it's actually quiet a ritual now. Since I'm living in small town USA again theres not a whole lot of options when it comes to food, theres 2 choices of fast food if that tells you anything. So now everyother Friday when I head to the valley to drop my daughter off for the weekend I have a date with my guy and the sushi bar!!!!!



And on the 11th day...

Day 10

A picture of something you hate

I don't just hate snakes I am terrified of them. They are disgusting, creepy and deathly scary to me. I can't handle them at all. Not even a little garden snake. I scream and run like a little girl. My buddy tried brining his pet snake out around me and I started to freak out I was on the verge of tears and hyper ventilating. Even looking at this picture freaks me out.

I've got to quit slacking....

It was a busy busy weekend so of course I spaced this project all together so here its is again, multiple days in one post trying to catch up.

The challenge begins now....

So I keep seeing this 30 day photo challenge all over facebook and other peoples blogs and I thought it would be a fun thing to do, one of my ideas for my blog right now was to do something like 365 days of photos and I might still do it and just start with the 1st 30 days beinging based on the challenge.

Day One

Post recent picture of yourself and 15 interesting facts about you

Now the task of 15 facts, I will do my best to keep them interesting

1. I am a picture taking fanatic, love love love to take photos!!

2. I've lived in Oregon about 95% of my life

3. I feel like I was born in the wrong era, I think I would have fit into the 50's housewife era perfectly

4. I have a slight obsession with John Deere, at one point my entire kitchen was J.D

5. I'm extremely indecisive, I change my mind on something from one second to the next

6. I LOVE horses, I think they are the most amazing animal ever, there is nothing like being on the back of one running through a field or along the beach!

7. I dream of living in the south or even the Midwest where me and my "country" ways would be right at home

8. I bought my 1st tag this last year to hunt myself, never had one always just tagged along with the guys. Didn't get anything but next year I'm keepin my fingers crossed

9. My daughter is my reason for living, theres nothing like seeing her smile first thing in the morning

10. I have this crazy dream of one day raising bucking bulls and I know absolutely nothing about it

11. Summer is my favorite season for a few simple reasons, Strawberries, the river, rodeos, country music festivals and camping!

12. I love anyting PINK

13. Apple pie, Pumpkin pie and NY style cheesecake make my world go round!

14. I want to rebuild an old school Ford Hiboy one of these days!!

Last but not least...

15. I am an adrenaline junkie!! The biggest rush I've had yet came from the sounds of the fire alarm and being on the truck responding to a fire!!!!

I've jumped on the blogging bandwagon

I decided that 2011 was going to be MY year, the year I really put myself out there!! I feel like it's time to broaden my horizons and do things I wouldn't normally do, because they fell outside of my comfort zone. Life is to dang short and if this 2012 end of the world hype really is true then Im going to live 2011 like there really is no tomorrow. I've got tons of ideas and things I want to do and accomplish this year and I am starting them with this blog.

I never thought I would want to start a blog but in the few weeks I have had this uber creative streak in me that I would like to think its been inspired by the holidays and because of 2 people who mean a whole heck of alot to me, my daughter Keelie and my cousin Alyssa. Keelie is my 6yr old ray of sunshine. That girls can light up a room like no one I know. She's always got someone laughing with the things she says. I like to think she's a little version of me with her own twists. She loves to paint and draw, I almost think she's better at it then I am. Her imagination is unbelievable, she can keep herself entertained for hours playing with her barbies and horses sending them on adventure after adventure or wearing one of the many different dresses or tutus she has pretending shes a princess and since her favorite color (right now) is purple that's where half of my blog title Purple Tutus comes from. Now for my cousin, that girl was truly something special! For those of you who don't know me and even those that do but are new to my life, Alyssa passed away a year ago this month. She has been on my mind constantly the last few weeks and I think thats a big part of the flame thats been lit under me. You could travel the world and go on one crazy adventure after another without ever leaving where you were with Alyssa. She had the wildest imagination. Alyssa also had quite a thing for Regis, Jay leno, and Pink Flamingos the inspiration for the other half of my blogs title.

Now I haven't quiet decided how often I'm going to blog or what they'll be about but I guess that's what will make this all the more fun and interesting. So stay tuned!!!!
