Annetta | My anniversary trips always exceeds my expectations. Last year my husband surprised me with a trip to Santa Barbara for our anniversary getaway. It was a warm place, which I loved! The bed & breakfast we stayed at was perfect. We stayed in a room that was white and rose themed. There were so many yummy restaurants around. Its time for another anniversary getaway in a few weeks for us, we'll be celebrating 6 years and I'm so excited to see what he surprises me with this time.

Stephanie | For my birthday last year my friend took me on a whale watching trip, It was the most amazing day. On top of being able to see beautiful orca whales jump out of the water, a pod of dalls porpoises jumped the bow of the boat, it was so incredible.

Day 281 | Family Memory

Prompt: What is your most treasured family memory from the past year/ 3 years/ 5 years?

Annetta | Becoming a mommy is my most treasured family memory. It was a time when we went from 2 to 3 and we've been at a family of three for a while! I would have a very hard time right now if it was still just the two of us.

Stephanie | My most treasured family memories are: 5 years: Family vacation to Hood Canal WA in 2009, 3 years: Birth of our second daughter Shealynn, 1 year: Celebrating Syri and Shea's birthday's in Seattle -their first time doing the Space Needle, duck boats and monorail. 

Day 280 | Your Way

Prompt: Tell me about a time when everything went your way.

Annetta | When we were in Slovakia it was a wonderful time. I don't want to say that 'everything' went my way, but many things went just as I hoped that they would. I got to go to Prague among other amazing places.

Stephanie | Typically things do not go my way. If I do have things planned there is usually something that goes wrong. I am very much a perfectionist and have my expectations on how I want things to be. I am usually left disappointed.

 

Day 279 | Temper

Prompt: Tell me about a time when you lost your temper. What was it about?

Stephanie | I loose my temper often, I am not proud to admit that. I can loose my temper easily and over little things. Usually because of another reason, tired, stress, overwhelmed, etc. This is something I am working to improve about myself. 

Annetta | I loose my temper when I am dealing with family members regarding my brother who lives with me and their lack of concern that he's still living with my family and I. I'm not his parent, but my husband and I have had to take that role more then once. I'm working on being more loving in that area.

Day 278 | Feel Better

Prompt: Tell me about a person who always makes you feel better.

Stephanie | I don't have one person who makes me feel better. I am usually left to comfort myself because other people either don't know how to or they don't put in the effort to making me feel better. 

Annetta | My husband can always make me feel better. Yesterday is a good example. I was having some anxiety over a few things so my husband and I went on a quick prayer walk. We talked and prayed together. It changed my day and I was so much better!

Day 277 | Home

Prompt: Tell me what 'home' means to you?

Stephanie | Home, to me, is where I am most comfortable and can relax. You don't have to host or put on a show for anyone, just be yourself. 

Annetta | Home is a place where you can be you. It's a place full of love, comfort, and safety. Where you can unwind, restore, grow and find rest.
