Day 9: A Place You Love

Seattle

I cannot think of a place that I would have loved to be raised other than Seattle. It is an amazing city. I really believe it has shaped who I am and if I were raised in Utah I would not be the same person. Seattle has such an easy going spirit about it and non judgemental and I believe that is why I am the same way. It is easy being yourself in Seattle since everyone there is unique. I am sooo happy that Jon was able to see where I grew up last year and the placed that made me who I am today. I will always have a special place in my heart for Seattle!!

day 8: a hobby of yours



Hobby #1: Soccer



Ever since I started playing soccer in 4th grade it has been a release for me. Sometimes you just really need to kick something and soccer is perfect for that! I just love the game! Jon and I play on an Indoor and Outdoor team with our friends and it's what I look forward to every week. Being able to hang out with friends, play a sport I love, exercise, and get a good competitive attitude twice a week is what I live for! Sometimes I wish I was back in Jr.High and High School where my life was soccer and that's all I did... I miss those days but I guess we all have to move on dont we?


Hobby #2 - Anything water sports





I love water sports! There's nothing like swimming on a hot day, or hiking down to a water fall in hawaii, or wakeboarding surrounded by beautiful red rocks!

day 7: an animal you'd love to keep as a pet

I have always thought having a bear would be an awesome pet. When they are cubs they are absolutely adorable! And just like those tigers that live with monks, I'm sure if you have them since they were cubs they'd learn to grow up with you and be careful with you?? Either way it would be a dream come true to hold a bear cub!!

Ever since I can remember I've always LOVED Will Smith. I grew up on Fresh Prince and totally feel in love with him. I love that he's just a fun outgoing guy and all of his movies are all just fabulous!

Day 5: Your Parents




My Dad:
I think I get alot of my goofiness from my dad. He is caring but then also just loads of fun. I know there's nothing that my dad wouldn't do for me. I'm a sucker for my dad; if I don't know the answer my dad surely does.






My Mom:
My Mom is my best friend. She's the first I call for everything and anything. I love going home to her house everyday for lunch and just hanging out. It definitely gets me through the day. Her cooking is also fabulous! Now that I have my own home and have to cook I appreciate her cooking much more. She does so much for our family and is always the one looking out for everyone.

day 4: meaning behind your blog name

I think it's pretty self explanatory; Jon & Bre Thorpe. Thats me and my hubby. Maybe I should have thought of something more original so that I could write something?




I've started having a personal trainer at Golds Gym. Wow I used to think ladders in soccer practice was the worst. Is it horrible after 7 minutes I turn to him begging for us to be done? I thought I wasn't in bad shape, but wow. It is definitely insane but I'm learning a lot. And learning a lot that I don't have much self determination and I really need someone yelling at me so I don't give up... at least when it comes to fitness. Watch out everyone driving around me, I can hardly lift my arms to make a left hand turn.

day 3: pet peeves

Lately I have been very annoyed with people that do not act their age. Making a commitment to do something means that you will do it. There is no "oh sorry I just don't feel like it anymore." That was high school. We are now adults and you should take yourself seriously as an adult. If you say something I except you are going to do it.



People that sneeze and do not cover up. I have been involved with the health field long enough to know how many of those tiny germs are now flying my way making me want to hold my breath and duck for cover. Honestly. And yes I did just put hand sanitizer on just thinking about it.



Pyramid scams. Isn't it nice running into an old friend randomly... until they spill oh hey you need some life insurance, or oh hey you need to come be a part of this job. Pretty sure that nice reunion we just had was just a ploy to get me within arms reach. Thanks for nothing. Now I feel completely used and question our friendship altogether. Want some advice? Oprah just told me that you don't need more than $70k for a family of 5 to be happy.
