Day 14 -- A Picture You Love

This is one of my most favorite family photos and one of my most favorite Thanksgivings.  I think this was the first year that HUSBO and I were dating. {He's not in the picture cause we weren't sure about him yet...the Maymi club is pretty exclusive}  I think this was 2007.  There is another one, where Husbo jumped in the background, but I couldn't find it.  It's pretty funny and the first photo I thought of, but again, I cannot find it.  :( 

Happy First Day of December!!!  24 days 'til Christmas. 

Now Back To Our Regularly Scheduled Program...

I'M BACK!!!  I know you've missed me!!!  When I left you we were FIVE days into the 30 Day Challenge and I was on my way to SD to experience my first NFL game.  And boy did I experience... Here is a little glimpse, you can find the rest of the pics here. 

Me and My Crew

 It was a blast and the Chargers FINALLY decided to win one for us! {look at me saying 'US' like I'm a fan like Husbo} Yahoo.  Good times were had by all, and I have the bruises to show for it. 

I also went to AZ to do a training for work.  That's all I have to say about that, because there's nothing else to say. 

On with the challenge....

DAY 6: A Picture of Something that Makes You Happy

This was a hard one.  Because there are a lot of things that make me happy.  But ABOVE everything...this makes me the happiest.  I have to have three pictures, cause I have three of them... so here it goes. 

My Maymi Family

My Battle Family

My Bostron Family

It's good to be back!  And it's FRIDAY!!!!

Day Two -- Meaning Behind Your Blog Name

If you don't know, I used to be a Maymi.  A Maymi is an awesome thing to be.  If you're a Maymi, then you know you have awesome friends and and even more awesome FAMILY!!!  For 28 {almost 29} years, I wore the last name like a badge of honor.  In fact, and Husbo is going to kill me when I say this, I toyed with the idea of NOT changing my last name.  Not that 'Battle' isn't a cool name, but Maymi is near and dear to my heart, it's hard to let go of.  It's hard to get rid of the name you know and love.  But alas, I took the plunge and changed my name.  I started this blog shortly after Husbo and I bit the bullet.   It used to be called A Family Named Battle, but since I am the only one of the Family Battle that writes on this blog, I found Life As A Battle more appropriate.   And that, my friends is where Life As A Battle came from. 

Where Life as a Battle really started

P.S. Erika Battle may not be as cool as Erika Maymi, but she is a little tougher.  With a name like Battle, I think you kinda have to be! 

Happy Tuesday, Lovers!
