Ever have a person that really annoys you? The one that you are friends with, but everytime you get together you leave feeling aggrivated? And you just get to the point that maybe it isn't worth the hassel? Maybe they aren't as good a "friend" as they should be?
If so, what did you do?

How did I get so far behind?!
Everyday I log into my blog and think "I can just catch up on that challenge tomorrow..." and then I don't. But I am determined to finish the challenge, even if I was lacking in the "once daily blog post" area. Hope you all in blog land forgive me.
I ended at Day 20 in my last post...
Day 21: Picture of myself
They are all over my blog, and my uploader is kinda finiky so I'm not going to upload anymore at the moment. Scroll through past posts...there I am!!
Day 22: Favorite City
I found an inner peace in Newport, RI. I don't know why but I was so relaxed. I was also really relaxed in Stockbridge, MA because we didn't have cell phone reception and the place we were staying had no internet connection. It was fabulous being unplugged for a day!!
Day 23: Favorite Vacation
Growing up, it would be going to York Beach, ME. But I haven't been there in probably about 15 years. DH and I haven't taken many vacations because of my being in school and my lack of a job/$$. Our trip to Niagara Falls in Canada was great, and I loved our trip to Newport. I have a feeling our next vacation will be my favorite, but I can't tell y'all about that until we come back!!
Day 24: Something You've Learned
-Everyone is going through their own battles.
-Some people are just plain rotten to the core and there is nothing you can do about it.
-Things never work the way you see them in the movies.
-You don't change as much as you think you may.
-Mr D is the yin to my yang, but sometimes I just need to have my yang moments!
Day 25: iPod Shuffle
I have been looking forward to this one for the whole challenge!! I will be using my iTunes, however, because 1. it is on my computer; 2. it is currently playing; 3. I have no idea where my actual iPod is at the moment!!
My music selection is quite diverse, if the shuffle on the iTunes is working properly...
1. Default- Count on Me (love this on a day I just need to let loose!!)
2. Sara Evans- I Keep Looking
3. Billy Joel- Go To Extremes (I used to sneak into my parent's music cabinet and steal their Billy Joel CDs!)
4. Keith Urban- You're My Better Half
5. Rent Soundtrack- Tango Maureen
6. Chad Brock- She Said Yes
7. Keith Anderson- I Still Miss You
8. Tim McGraw- My Best Friend
9. Jason Aldean- This I Gotta See
10. The Who- Who Are You
*So when I updated my iTunes my library stopped working and I had to reload it. As I did this challenge, I noticed only half my library loaded. Bummer!! So now I have to fix it, and you only got to see a little bit of the variety I have!!
Day 26: A Picture of Your Family
The family I was born to. My parents and grandparents. I don't have any siblings so this is it :-) 
The family that I was accepted into. They didn't have to take in me or even like me, but they did and I am eternally grateful that my in-laws are as fabulous as they are. My parent-in-laws treat me as one of their own and my sister-in-law and her husband are wonderful!
Day 27: Pets
We are a cat household. I had a cat from the time I was 5; he passed away in 2008. I miss him everyday, he was the best kitty ever! RIP Buster 1991-2008
Mr D and I have two kitties. A 7 year old black ball of fluff named Bonkers and a 2 year old spastastic kitty named Amy. They keep life exciting.
Day 28: Something That Stresses You Out
-Taking my board exam
-The thought of failing my board exam
-Thinking about the amount of money I have to pay back in my student loans
Day 29: 3 Wishes
1. I wish that I will have the family I have always wanted and that I will be a good Mommy when the time comes.
2. I wish that my career is long and rewarding and worth all of the $$ and years of school.
3. I wish that I live happily ever after with Mr. D and that we get to see and experience as many sights as possible.

Playing Catch Up Again...
I started my new job last week, so I didn't have much time for blogging. I apologize. I'm not sure if I have any readers out there...(except for the one that lodged a complaint with me last night for not updating) but I guess I shall catch up on the blog challenge. I'm not that far behind...
**(If you are a reader, let me know!! Leave me a comment!! I will be more apt to updating if I know someone is reading it.)**
Day 16: Dream House
My dream house would be:
4 or 5 bedrooms
3 baths
Open floor plan with just enough division between the rooms
Hardwood floors
Formal living room, formal dining room
Playroom/family room for the kids
Big kitchen with granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, double oven, lots of cabinet space
Large master bath with soaking tub and double sinks
Man cave for Mr. D
Large backyard
Day 17: Something You Are Looking Forward To
-Our big trip that is coming up so fast!!!
-Having my license to practice
-Finding our house to have a family and grow old in
-Having that family I just mentioned
-Getting a new car
-Celebrating our first married Christmas!!
Day 18: Something You Regret
I try not to regret things, because every choice was made for a reason. However:
-I regret not living on campus (but just a little- I enjoyed living at my house and not having to deal with the pettiness of college students all the time)
-I regret not dating more in high school/college. But I found Mr. D at the end of my freshman year of college, so I don't really regret this!!!
Day 19: Something You Miss
-My friends from high school
-Holidays with my family where everyone got along
-Seeing my sister all the time
-My family members that have passed on
-Planning my wedding
Day 20: Nicknames
Everyone calls me Mel.
My grandma and former boss call me Melis.
Mr. D calls me Honey, and Cheese. (I call him Bologna cuz we go together like bologna and cheese- get it?! hehe) If he is being funny I get called Wifey.
I had a friend in high school that called me Snicker, and he still will to this day.

Another step to growing up..
Today's blog challenge question is favorite Bible verse. I haven't read the Bible, and while I could Google it and find one, I don't feel right doing that. So I am sitting today out.
Today was my first day of work. While I am not allowed to do any treatments yet, as I am not licensed, it was a good day. I feel that while this job is going to be a challenge, I am going to learn so much and like every minute of it. It inspired me to study for the licensure- even though when I got home I relaxed on the couch instead of opening the book. But I will be studying tomorrow. Hopefully this is the boost I needed to get out of my procrastination funk! I think I made the right decision.
Mr. D also started a new job today, so it has been a little stressful in our household. But he also seemed to have a good day and I think it was a good move for him from where he used to work. Steps we have to take to meet our future goals...

Catching Up On The Blog Challenge...
I haven't been at my computer the past few days. Mr D and I went to New York City on Friday (see photo below.) It was a great day; I always love spending the day with just him and getting out of the house. Too many days are spent on the couch!! We both start new jobs tomorrow, so it was nice to have a day to ourselves before new stresses start.
And can I say I am getting uber excited for the holiday season?!?!
So let's see...I left off on day 11...
Day 12: What You Believe
I believe that...
I am meant to help people.
People are brought into my life for a reason.
Challenges make you strong.
I will be a better person for all that I have seen and experienced.
Day 13: Goals
Have my student loans paid off in 8 years.
Have 2 or 3 kids by age 33.
Be the best wife I can be to Mr D.
Have a specialty in my field in 5 years.
Read 100 books a year.
Day 14: A Picture You Love
This is very difficult because I am somewhat of a photo fanatic!!!
Mr D and I on the top of the Empire State Building in NYC.
My wedding dress in the window of the hotel. See it there? Most people miss it and think I am crazy for showing them a picture of the side of a building.
Mr D and I had only been dating about months when this one was taken. It is still on of my favorites of the two of us.
