Blog Challenge: Days 4 and 5

Since I didn't post yesterday, I figured I'd just double up today. I must say, I had time to post yesterday...and started a post several times, but I had a hard time making a decision on what pic to post for Day 4. The challenge for Day 4 is this: Day 4 - Your favorite photograph of your best friend. Well folks, I have 2 besties...Matt (my husband) and April (my twin sister). I scoured my pics and just couldn't decide on a favorite...obviously I'm overthinking this! So here goes...

This is picture from our honeymoon. We were about to go parasailing...I had everything I wanted right there...relaxation, the beach, good food and my best friend ALL to myself. I met Matt when I was almost 26 years old...I'd be lying if I said I didn't have moments in my 20's when I was really discouraged about not already being married. I had friends at 26 that had been married for years with several kids already. But wow, did God have a plan or what!? I didn't just find "someone"...I found a strong, caring, Godly man. And one that "gets" me, makes me laugh all the time, makes sure I feel loved and taken care of...to name a few things =) 

My other bestie is my twin sis April.

I have about a billion pictures of us together...29 years worth of pictures...but this is one of my faves. I think it describes a part of being a twin that "singletons" don't get. The level communication that can go unsaid with us is HUGE. I know this kind of communication can develop with a spouse (and definitely has with me and Matt to a certain extent), a sibling or a best friend. But it started from birth with us (maybe before birth, who knows!)...and is still strong to this day. How many friends can say they've been best friends since the day they were born? I can! I would be totally lost without my sister. It would be like chopping off half of me and expecting me to function...unlimited texting is absolute MUST in our lives and co-dependence just might be the word for it. However, I wouldn't have it any other way. I couldn't love, trust, enjoy being with, or respect anyone more!

Whew! Onto day 5! Day 5 - A photo of yourself two years ago.
This was a lot easier than the previous day's challenge. I only have one folder on my computer with pics from December 2008...so the options were pretty limited. 

I also broke the "rules" by post 2 pictures but oh well, it's MY blog right? The first one was taken at the annual Ehrhart family Christmas dinner at Callaway Gardens...just me and Matt cheesing it up at the table. The second is us being silly! We were opening gifts at my parents house on Christmas Eve...and don't even know what to say about it, so I'll just let it stand on it's own! So much has changed in 2 years! April was pregnant with Rylie that Christmas...it was mine and Matt's first Christmas married...oh how life has changed! Can't wait to see how different life is 2 years from NOW =) 

Have a lovely Sunday everyone! I'm going to attempt to get the rest of my Christmas decorations up and possibly go grocery shopping...we'll just see what "the boss" (aka-Elliot) lets me get done!
