Okay. so I have been pretty behind on this whole 30 day challenge, and since its a slow day at work for me, I am going to catch up a little bit. Then its off to go to the new house and get things ready so i can start moving! so ready for a house and not an apartment and a roommate!

anyways....back to the challenge at hand. Okay, so the challenge was to post a picture of someone you have been close to for a long time and then write about them and why you are so close. Well, I couldnt pick just one, so I picked several.

Of course, my brother. He and I have always been bestfriends. This year has been a trying one for us, but he is still my bestfriend and I love him very much. We have been through alot together. We have some really fun memories and some really tough ones, but we have them together and thats what matters.

Shannon Hora, my bestfriend. I have posted about her several times. She has been my bestie since we were in college. its been almost 10 years now! She is a friend I know will be my friend for the rest of my life, no matter where we go in life, she and I will always be friends!!

I posted a picture of me and my daddy. I have always been a daddys girl. Moving here, one of the hardest things was knowing that I would be physically close to my daddy anymore. I wouldnt have the option to go and see him everyday. My dad and i have been close since I was born. When I was very little, he worked in the factory and was laid off work several times, which meant I got to spend LOTS of time with my daddy. We would play, read books, watch movies, go on walks, go to the candy store everyday for my favorite, "red candy"-licorice. He would hide change around the house and we would go on a hunt together for money and then walk to the candy store together. I still talk to my daddy everyday on the phone.

I also posted a picture of both of my parents, because my mom and i are close too. I miss her so much. She is a great woman. We have had so many great talks and lots of great memories together. We love to sing together. Shes an AMAZING woman!!

I posted a picture of me and my meggie! "bestfriend"...that was what we called each other. I have not physically seen Meggan for over a year. But...she is a true friend, because it doesnt matter how long its been, when we talk on the phone, its like no time has passed at all. We can pick right up where we left off. We can still talk about One Tree Hill and how much I am like Brooke Davis. We can talk about her "ugly bridesmaids dress" for an upcoming wedding, while she is going to be VERY pregnant and look like a huge watermelon. and we can talk about the serious stuff too! She is a great friend.

Melissa is another one of my bestfriends. We only get to see each other a couple times a year, but we talk on the phone and facebook very often and keep up with each others lives, and I know that we are very important to each other and very close.

Trista...she is a friend that I talk to EVERYDAY these days. She is my bestfriend here in Sumner. Since the day I moved here, we have had a connection and have been super close. I am very thankful for her in my life, God has truly gifted me with an amazing friend in her. I have alot of great friends here in Sumner, but Trista is just that friend that I know I have a special bond with. I can share ANYTHING with her and she doesnt judge me. and I am able to be there for her too. She gives me encouragement and hope for the future as we deal with some of the same issues in life together.

Jalisa is someone who went from being a girl in counseled at camp, to a fellow counselor, to one of my closest friends. We dont see each other much, as she lives in MN, but we talk often and I know that she loves me no matter what. As I do her.

I could go on and on and fill this blog with pictures and paragraphs about the people God has blessed me with in life. But these are the ones that stuck out to me right now. My family, and my very bestfriends.....those are the people that I consider close to my heart :)

30 days...

So on facebook, there is this 30 days challenge thing. You post a picture and write something about it for the next 30 days. So i decided that I would post it here on my blog and then link to my facebook, that way all my followers can read it, and also, my facebook friends can see it too :) so the first day is that you post a picture of yourself and then write 15 things about yourself....so here goes...

1. My full name is Rebecca Dawn Canny- My name is one that my mom picked out when she was just a little girl.

2. I have a little brother, his name is Bryan Edward Canny. He is 2 years younger than me. He is one of my bestfriends and I like to think I taught him much of what he knows, but the truth is, he has taught me many things too.

3. I am 29 years old, and I have never been kissed in my life, I have never been to a dance, and I have never even been on a date. I guess I just have been waiting for the write guy to come along. So when he comes, he has ALOT to live up to, after waiting for this long :)

4. Even though I am 29 years old, I LOVE the Jonas Brothers. Nick has one of the most amazing voices EVER! Joe is so funny. Kevin is very loving. and all of them have incredible Christian and Family values.

5. GLEE is the MOST AMAZING show in the world! I dream about having the chance to be on it at some point in my life.

6. I have dreamed for years about having a family of my own and have already picked out names for the children Id like to one day have. I wont share them, because I dont want anyone to steal them :)

7. I have already picked out who will be the bridesmaids when I finally get the chance to marry the man of my dreams. Shannon Hora, Meggan Schwirtz, Melissa Johnson, Trista Calonder, Molly Canny, Abby Treiber, Jalisa Negley.

8. I have several places picked out for dream dates in my life and I really hope that when I meet the right guy, I get to go on EVERY ONE of them :)
*DisneyLAND- NOT WORLD- LAND. For some reason, going to California is a HUGE deal to me. At Christmas time so I can see all the Christmas decorations and so I can see the Christmas Parade too.
*Rockefeller Center at Christmas Time to see the Big Tree and shop in New York City.
*Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade

9. I want to realase my own album someday and become famous. Not so that I can have all the money, but so that I can reach as many people as possible for the kingdom of Christ. AND so that I can have someone who will clean my house for me and my car too :)

10. I have a HUGE FEAR of squirrels, and am deathly afraid of them. Even after Dan Fassler tried to cure my of it by putting a live one in my room during college.

11. I want to write my own book someday and go around speaking and encouraging teenagers about the AMAZING things God has for them in their lives.

12. My parents are some of the MOST AMAZING people in the world and I love them with all my heart. It was the hardest thing in the world for me to move away from them, which is why it took me 28 years, before I could actually do it :0)

13. My favorite place in the world to be is at Red Rock Camp, I have some of the best friends in the world there and other than my own family, they are the BEST family in the WHOLE WIDE WORLD.

30. My favorite song in the world is, "His Eye is on the Sparrow". Because its my moms favorite and she used to sing it to us every night when she would sing me to sleep. In fact, I often think back to those times and hope to one day sing to my children the way she sang to me.

Well, there you go, you know MORE than 15 things about me, infact, I gave you 15 bonuses, arent you lucky :) That is the most I have shared my dreams in a long time, and to be honest, it feels good to dream again and believe that these things might actually come true :)
