day 5 of #30daybloggingchallenge My proudest moment


My proudest moment came June 17, 2006 when I married my husband. We had been together for six years when we married. Our wedding was at a lakefront lodge, "Five Oaks Lodge" in Jenks, Oklahoma.

The theme of my wedding was the mixing two cultures; Japanese and German. My mother in law was my wedding planner and helped me plan the whole thing. She specializes in handmade origami art, she made the origami cranes for the top of our wedding cake. In Japanese tradition, the crane symbolizes good fortune and longevity.

Our wedding not only featured Japanese traditions, but German as well. We had a quilt where whoever reached it first was head of the household. We were blindfolded and turned around until we were let loose to find it. Kenneth found it first. We also had a kissing ball, where everyone who passed underneath that was part of a couple had to kiss. We offered a buffet and various wines. The food included sushi, sandwiches, snacks, and our wedding cake and grooms cake.

The day made me proud because I had been with him for six years. We had stuck together through thick and thin. To become his wife meant something special. It meant that I was marrying my best friend. It meant that we would always have each other's backs.

Things are looking up

Things are changing around here... My husband got a promotion to Assistant Manager at Wal Mart. We are waiting to find out where his job will be. It could be within driving distance of Tulsa, but we aren't for sure. We do know it should be in this area. He has to attend a four week class to be trained in his new job before he is moved. Which means that Japan is postponed until a later date. Another bit of good news...I'm going back to college. I'm attending Tulsa Community College and studying Strategic Communications, otherwise known as Public Relations. I will be finishing my Associates degree there and lack 6-8 classes! I am also being approved for financial aid. I will only be going part time since that is what my aid will cover due to my previous degree. This works out well for me anyway due to having seizures and being unable to take on a full schedule. Once I have completed this degree, I will be attending Oklahoma State University to finish my B.A. in Strate...

day 12 of my #30daybloggingchallenge My favorite childhood book

When I was a child, I had a few favorite childhood books I loved. When I was little, I loved Dr. Seuss. I loved every Dr Seuss book I got my hands on, but my favorite Seuss childhood book was called, "My book about Me." It was a book where my mom and I updated it every year when I was growing up. It was like my first scrap booking experiment. The book included my favorite foods, where I live, where I went to school, my height, hobbies, interests, and so on. It was fun to see the change from year to year. When I was a teenager, I also loved the Sweet Valley High series. My favorite character was Jessica Wakefield. I always wanted to be like her. She might not have had it all together, but she had the most fun! What's your favorite childhood book?

Hello there!

Hello! For those who don't know me, let me pour you a glass of sweet tea and let's chat. My name is Gabrielle Farringer and I am a Disney fanatic. I always have been ever since I was a little girl. A little about me: I am happily married to a man named Kenneth since 2006, but we've been together since 2000. Our 12th wedding anniversary comes up next month on June 17th. I have a spirited furbaby, Nando who is the light of my life. I love Disney, WWE, cooking, shopping, traveling, and spending time with family and friends. My first trip to Walt Disney World was on June 18, 2006 when we stayed at Port Orleans French Quarter for four days, followed by a 3 day cruise on the Wonder. It was a fabulous time and one we still fondly remember! Since then, I have visited Walt Disney World 10+ times and Disneyland twice. My husband and I took another cruise on the Wonder in 2010 as well. I am looking forward to sharing more with you and hearing from you! Tata for now Gabrie...
