We were both starting preschool when we became friends. Our earliest memories are playing outside during recess, or coloring each other pictures during free time. We became best friends, and gave each other ring pops and promised each other we would be best friends forever. I still have that ring pop. We went on to elementary school, but sadly districting split us up and she was at one and I was at another school. Our families were such good friends so we still saw each other every weekend at the playground, our houses or the beach, our favorite spot. As we grew older, we grew apart. Best friends turned into friends. She went on to high school and was the popular star athlete who had all the attention, and I was the more reserved one who kept to myself. I would still see her every once in awhile at family functions, but it was never the same. It wasn’t until junior year of high school that I realized I liked her, more than friends, more than best friends but I knew I could never tell her. Why would she want a guy like me? Senior year of high school I started to think to myself if I don’t tell her now, I will never have a chance and she will go to college and never look back. So I did it, I told her. I asked her if she wanted to get dinner one night, and she said of course because well to her we were just friends. At the end of the night I told her how I felt and she sat in silence. I could tell what she was about to say, and I knew I wouldn’t like. We went onto college. We had our separate lives and I was okay with that, but she was still always my first love. I hadn’t see her in about four years until one day I ran into her over christmas break at the grocery store. It was then all my feelings came back, and I fell in love all over again. Shortly after this we started texting again, and calling each other. Five minute phone calls would turn into hours, and friends was becoming best friends again. That next summer, we both were graduated and living at home, she asked me if I wanted to get dinner with her. And at the end of the night, she pulled out something out of her pocket and handed it to me. It was the ring pop I once gave to her years ago. She asked me if I was willing to give her a chance. How could I not say yes? So we dated, and we dated well. We both got jobs, were living on our own and were enjoying life. We were serious. On March 5th, 2009 I asked her to marry me. It was the best day of my life, besides the day I met her. It is now six years later, and we are expecting our second child. Im sharing this story with you about my wife because I think theres a message behind it. Never give up on love, whatever is meant to be will find a way.
Sincerely,
The luckiest guy in the world

I found this assignment to be kind of hard for me. I am not good at creative writing, or writing in general so I had trouble trying to come up with some random love story. Once I did, I just kept typing and going with it. I think my strong suit is definitely in the visual aspects! Overall tho creating the assignment was easy. I just embedded my image through Flickr and then wrote freely.
Hey Y’all Agnus here, I heard one of your assignments this week was to check out whats in your saddle and I thought how fun! Ill give it a go. So this is my saddle (I hate the word purse), and well it’s pretty boring but I got the most basic essentials for living in the Wild West!
Well, thats about it besides the random pennies and receipts sitting in the bottom of my bag. I’m no girly girl so I just keep the basics in my saddle to keep me going in this town! Have a good day Y’all!

I found this assignment to be fairly easy because I used the best photoshop app in the world, fotobom, which makes everything so much easier. I just googled pictures and then cropped them to all fit with the saddle. I liked that we had to incorporate our character in this one because well I don’t carry a purse around so it was much easier creating a fake one and narrating in her perspective, and also it was a fun twist on the assignment.
Mrs. Dean is a homesteader’s wife, so she gets out in the field and works. Being a wife she also goes inside and becomes the “clichĂ©” house wife at the end of the day. She is skilled in many areas and is always prepared for either role she is asked to play. This is what she carries around with her in her saddle bag, so she has the necessities at all times.
She has her easily foldable boots, chapstick, and bandanas for when she is called to work hard out in the hot sun all day. She also has cooking untensils for when she needs to whip up a meal quickly. Either role, she takes her jobs very seriously so she wants to always be prepared when a task comes her way.
I chose to do the We’re the Real Life Brady Bunch assignment, not only because I created it, but because people mentioned in their posts about it that they found the assignment much more diffucult than they had originally anticipated. I had intended it to be not super easy, but not super difficult, so I wanted to try it out myself.
I used a website called befunky that made the task a lot simpler. I merely had to crop and style my photos and title how I wanted them until I got the perfect fit.
I named us “The Basketball Baes” because I wanted to stick with the B alliteration like in “The Brady Bunch,” but also because these are my best friends and we all play basketball together and we all call each other bae as a joke because we are together constantly.
I loved using the website offered on the assignment page. The concept of traveling around a vacation via road map was quite neat. The assignment itself was a little time consuming, but the instrucitons on the site made the process pretty simple.It was nice to go down memory lane and remember all the different stops my family had on our little adventure. Come on this journey with us by clicking  here:)
As I mentioned in one of my first posts, ChiChi has her own Facebook page, because yes I am that obsessed with her. Just kidding! I created the Facebook page for ChiChi so that I can have an online database for things all ChiChi related. Why? Because I kinda wanted a place where I could create a virtual scrapbook of ChiChi. Sadly, all good things come to an end (eventually) and that includes life. One day, ChiChi will pass away, and I will be left with nothing but memories. That is why I created this page so that I could remember my first dog.
Finding the pictures for the collage was not hard at all. I simply took pictures off her Facebook page and taa daa I had a completed collage. I used PicMonkey to create the collage, as well as design it. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a free, yet handy, website when dealing with photo editing.

YAY! HAPPY BIRTHDAY! I did the Spanish title again, because come on, this photo is full of Hispanics a.k.a my extended family. Like the previous assignment, I had to dig through my mom’s pictures on Facebook to find this photo. I then looked up transparent copies of a birthday hat and balloons which I then added to the photo through PicMonkey. This assignment wasn’t as hard as the rating it was given, but it was a pretty fun and enjoyable one.
This is what I guess you could say is “my” family if you consider the people related by blood who live in the same house with me. Now many of you may be wondering why I put my in quotation marks well because to me, family doesn’t mean you have to have the same blood or be biologically related. To me, family means someone who you really do care for. A friend could be considered family if you both genuinely care for each other.
To create this assignment, I had to stalk my family on Facebook so I could get pictures of them. Then I used PicMonkey to create and design the collage to my liking. It was pretty simple actually. Finally, I uploaded the image to Flickr. I decided to name us “The Tueros Familia” because first, our last name is Tueros, and second, familia means family in Spanish and since we are Hispanic, I thought eh why not?
When you think of love stories you think of alters and wedding bells. Boy meets girl. Boy falls for girl. Boy and girl get married and are together forever and ever. But for some reason when I was supposed to choose a âLove at First Shotâ this was the photo that came to mind. Hereâs this special love story.
On October 15, 2015, they came together for the first time. It was their first basketball practice of the year. Some faces were new to the crew; some had been there for years. It was time to take on the new dynamic. Everyone had to learn the plays, learn their place, but most importantly learn each other.
They spent every moment together to accomplish this because they all shared a common goal, to be the best. Through countless hours of literal blood, sweat, and tears they came together. Through countless hours of dinner dates and movie nights they came together. Through countless hours of study hall and tutoring sessions they came together.
After all this hard work, this team came together. It wasnât always perfect. They lost some games. They had to adjust some of their ways and open up to new things. Ultimately, the definitely won more than they lost, and not just on the basketball court, though they were very successful there.
They won because they had 12 other best friends, sisters, teammates. It was such a special bond. It was true love. 12 people to have your back no matter what, 12 people to dance with, 12 people to talk to, 12 people to road trip with, 12 people to go into battle with and12 people to go through every inch of life with, good or bad.
And isnât that what love is all about?
