MY results: I have yet to accomplish this challenge, but I'm badly sunburnt so am going to wait a few more days before I do it. Lol.

OTHERS' results: Kate and Macie have met this goal. :)

Also, my cat, Dusty. Hahaha..

Day 5 [Challenge]: A Massage

**Ahh! I'm soooo behind on posting results! I'll post for all three tomorrow. Got a super busy day today. Don't forget to send me your results.**

John picked today's challenge: A Massage. There is something wonderful about being touched and pampered by a relative stranger for just a little money. A massage or facial is one of the nicest ways to receive this touch. If you've already tried one, then do the other. It's relaxing, comforting, and possibly something that you'll want to repeat several times in your life.

Yay! Relaxation. :)

Day 4 [Results]: Important Life Questions

MY results: Ok, so I tried to come up with some questions, but am totally blanking out. I decided that as I naturally think of questions, I'll just post them then. Here is one I was discussing the other day..


Why is it that parents always tell their kids not to take candy from strangers, yet on Halloween, they send them door to door to do just that? I always found that rather dumb.

OTHERS' results:

Paula sent me these questions and answers: Do cats see in color? Yes, but in a more limited form than we do. They have the ability to see blue, green and purple, but not reds.

Who invented the Time Zones? In 1878, Sir Sandford Fleming, a Scottish-Canadian railroad engineer

Why don't birds fall out of trees when they fall asleep? They have specialized toe muscles that act like a locking hinge. They must exert extra effort to "undo" their perched position.

Why does gargling with salt water help a sore throat? Salt water is more concentrated than the water in a bacteria. Due to osmolarity, the water leaves the body of the bug, causing it to crenate (collapse and break) which kills them. The same process closes up the open tissue that is inflamed in your throat, making it less sore.



Kate sent in these questions: I have been pondering lifes important questions. I just dont have the answers.

"If a cow laughed, would milk come out her nose?"

"Why are there Braille signs on drive-up ATMs?"

"Since cats always land on their feet and jelly bread always lands jelly-side down, what happens if you tie jelly bread to the back of a cat?"

"Would a fly without wings be called a walk?"

"Why does the sun lighten our hair, but darken our skin?"

"Why doesn't glue stick to the inside of the bottle?"

Day 4 [Challenge]: Important Life Questions

**I don't have time to post yesterday's results or I'll be late for work, but I'll add them when I get home tonight.**

I had the missionaries over on Sunday for dinner and I let each of them pick a card for this week. Elder Bond chose today's challenge, which is: Important Life Questions. I thought it was a funny one for a missionary to pick, since they answer questions like that all the time. Anyway here it is:

Write down all the weird things you've always wondered about in the world, from how they get the letters M&M on the candy to how planes stay up in the sky. Head to your nearest reference librarian and start digging for answers. Life is too short to spend the rest of it wondering.

This one sounds like it'll be fun. Everyone send your questions to photochyckphotography@hotmail.com. If you wish to remain anonymous, let me know and I won't put your name with your questions. Try to find the answers yourself, and send those along too. If you can't find them anywhere, this may be a good place to find the answers! Hope everyone has a great day!

Day 3 [Results]: Dear President

MY results: I decided since so many people that take this challenge will be writing the president of the USA, that I would write the president of my church, Thomas S. Monson. So I wrote him a letter.


OTHERS' results: Kate wrote a letter to our former president, George W. Bush.

Day 3 [Challenge]: Dear President

Sorry I didn't get this up yesterday. I was at the hospital all morning and the day kind of got away from me. I let Stephanie from the hospital pick the card for today's challenge. Drumroll please.....

Today's challenge is: Dear President.

At some point in your life, when the president does something that thrills or really pisses you off, let him know exactly what you think by writing a letter and sending it directly to the White House.

Alright guys, I don't want a big political debate on my blog. Everyone is entitled to his/her own opinion and whether or not we agree with what others think, we should respect their opinion. You can post what you wrote or just that you did the challenge. Pictures are always fun and please update us if you get a response and I'll post it on here. Send your stories/pictures to: photochyckphotography@hotmail.com. Have a great day!

Fourth of July [Results]

MY results: Usually on the Fourth of July, we have a cookout and set off fireworks at our house. It rained all day, so we didn't end up doing the fireworks this year. We watched the NY fireworks on TV but it wasn't the same. I think we're going to set them off sometime in the next few weeks. Despite the fact that there were no fireworks, we still had a blast! My dad grilling in the rain. Haha.

Our lovely assortment of food.

The Stumpfs came over for the festivities. We decided to start a new tradition of Christmas in July. Brenton is Santa. :)

We made some cupcakes and cakes with flowers on them to pass out to continue with our flower challenge from day 1. We delivered them wearing our Christmas hats. It was quite funny.

Mmmm....

Debbi and Ken matched. Aren't they cute?

Hahaha. Because we're awesome like that..

Paula wrote "We always see fireworks, wherever we happen to be. We saw them twice this year, once in Plainfield on Sunday, and once on Friday in Southern Indiana. I always spend time being grateful for the people in the Armed Forces, and remember those who I'm related to, like my Dad, grandfather, and uncles, cousins, etc."

Kaiti and Chris went to the Balloon Festival and Air Show. I'm quite jealous of the awesome pictures that they got there. I may have to make it a tradition for me to go too. LOL.
