Confession: No One Tagged Me
I just wanted to join in on the fun!

Brennen keeps encouraging me that if people know more about me, then they would want to listen to what I say more. After all, are you going to listen to someone where you barely know anything about them? I wouldn't. So, here I'm going to tell you a little bit more about myself. 
 Don't wait for someone to tag you, you should join in too!

When was the last time you cried?
It's been quite a while actually. 
Usually, when asked this question then answer is one I can remember so I'm really happy that I can't!

Are you named after anyone?
My parents just really liked the named Rebecca. My dad had kind of wanted to name me Samantha so he could call me Sam but they settled on Rebecca. However, my middle name is Michelle and that's my aunts name (my dad's sister). They were really close when I was born. If I was a boy, my name would have been Michael Jennings Smith. Michael is a family name and Jennings is my mom's maiden name.

Do you have kids?
Proudly, no. I'm only 21 and not married. Many of my friends from high school have babies and aren't married or they are already married with babies. Great for them but I'm really enjoying living life solo (with Brennen of course haha)

If you were another person, would you be a friend of yourself?
Everyone is different. There are a lot of girls that don't get along with me because I can talk to boys easily and they can't. I'm only that way because I have brothers who taught me the importance of knowing the rules of football. But I think that I'm a good friend. I'm a good listener and I try to be there for anyone who needs it.

Do you use sarcasm a lot?
At times. It's a good way to communicate with boys.

Will you ever Bungee jump?
Maybe. 
I haven't done a lot of things like that but it depends on if I'm feeling adventurous at the time.

What’s your favourite cereal?
Apple Jacks or Cheerios

What’s the first thing you notice about people?
Appearance wise: their clothes
Personality wise: if they're nice

What is your eye colour?
Brown and sometimes green

Scary movie or happy ending?
Happy ending. I'm a sucker for those.

Favourite smells?
The ocean, rain, candles, a campfire, new car smell

Summer or Winter?
They both have their perks and by the end of both of them, I want the next one to come along.

Computer or television?
Both. Need them both.

What’s the furthest you’ve ever been away from home?
Europe. Such an amazing trip.

Where were you born?
Denver, Colorado!

Do you have any special talents?
Special? It sounds cheesy, but I can sense people's energies really well. 
I can tell what they need when they need it.

What are your hobbies?
Photography, reading, and blogging!

Do you have any pets?
They don't live with me, they live with my parents but they're the families dogs so they're mine too! 
There's Max and Rags. Click here to see picture of them. You won't regret it!

Favourite movie?
Titanic because it can make me cry every time. That is a movie well made. 
But, since I'm Disney obsessed, these are my favorite Disney movies:
One with a princess: Beauty and the Beast
One without a princess: Peter Pan

Do you have any siblings?
Yes! I have one older sister, Melinda and two older brothers, Matthew and Jeremy
Go to my about page (link above) to see pictures of Melinda and Matthew

That's a little more about me. I love sneaking in little bits so my readers can get to know me better and so that years from now, I can look back and see how I've changed. 
Hope you have the happiest of Sundays!

Labor Day Weekend:

Saturday:

First Game of the season against CSU at Mile High in Denver. 
We lost :( but it was still lots of fun!
Sooo hot though

Sunday:


My parents went to the Obama rally!
I know it's not the best picture of him but I actually was closer then it appears in the picture but I got the best picture I could
We waited 5 hours for him to talk. Standing the whole time in 95 degree weather. 
I got a bit sunburned
So worth it!


Monday:


Brennen and I went to Elitches with some friends
It was hot for some of the day but there was a cloud cover for a good portion of the day (Thank God!)
Here we are on the ferris wheel
So much fun!


It was a jam packed weekend but so much fun! 
It was a great hurrah to the end of the summer

What did you do for Labor Day weekend?

The Weekend Is Right Around the Corner!


I love Fridays but more then that, I love labor day weekend! Labor day weekend is kind of like the last hurrah of the summer and that's exactly what this weekend is going to be for me. Let me break it down for you:

Saturday

CU vs. CSU game
It's in Denver at Mile High where the Broncos play and it's televised
This is the big rivalry of Colorado...even though CU wins hands down so it's not much of a rivalry when you know you're better ;)
GO BUFFS!

Sunday

The president is coming to campus!!!
So excited to hear him speak!
Got tickets today...Brennen can't go because he has to work but my parents are coming with me and it should be a really good time. 
Psyched!

Obama at CU last time he was here


Monday

Going to Elitches with Brennen, Ryan, and Amber
Last weekend to go before they close the water park
It is the PERFECT way to end the summer
Pretty excited about this one too

Such an amazing weekend coming up. I hope you guys enjoy your labor day weekend as well! What are your plans for the weekend?



**90 Day Challenge Update**
I worked out again today (duh, you work out every day) and it slayed me. So incredibly challenging! 
I'm not sure I've done well as far as food goes though because I haven't found a time in my schedule to eat! There's just no time in between classes! 
I know I'll get the hang of things, I've just got to stick it out


Have a fun and safe weekend!
