I Got An Award!

It's been a while since I've gotten or even seen any other blogs get a blog award but my friend Sara from A Mommy's Thoughts just gave me one!! If you don't know Sara you need to! She's so sweet and fun. She also is a great blog friend so show your support and follow her!

The rules: 

- Thank the person who gave you the award.

- List seven things that people may not know about you.

- Pass the award to 15 other bloggers and notify them that they won.


Thank you, Sara! You're awesome :)

1.  I'm 24 and 5'3". I've always been mistaken to be a lot younger than I am. You should have seen the looks I got when I was pregnant!
2. I had a rolling backpack in middle school because my backpack was too heavy for me. Kids would kick it so it would flip over. I can laugh about it now but man, I hated being bullied!
3. My sister and I shared a room until I was 12. We used to stay up late hiding in our closet with flashlights and cards.
4. In high school I spent many Friday nights watching Lifetime movies with friends and then we would go to church dances on Saturday nights to see the guys we had crushes on.
5. I'm terrified of spiders. And oompa loompas.
6. Part of me doesn't want to have more babies while another part of me wants another already.
7. I can't wait to get an SUV in the next few years. I like my car but I'm ready for an upgrade!!

Now to pick some winners...

This is the hard part. 15 winners is a bit excessive so I'm making my own rules and will pick six. Here are six blogs that I recently found and love:

1. Blissfully Burton
2. Eric and Courtney
3. Little Woman, Little Home
4. Mackey Madness
5. Tales of the Trees
6. Pampers and Pumps

Congrats to the winners and I hope you all have a great weekend!

The Versatile Blogger

 Thanks for that info Aimee! just gave me an award! Am I a versatile blogger? I wouldn't think of myself as versatile but I am glad that she does! That means I don't totally bore her! :-) She is always commenting really sweet things on my blog and I value her as a reader! Go check out her blog and say hello!

The conditions of this award are:

1. Thank the person who gave you your award.
Thanks again, Aimee!

- I change my favorite color pretty often but it's been purple pretty consistently lately!

- We changed our baby-makin' plans again! We'll see!

- I have a hard time staying positive when things don't go according to plan. I like to be in control.

- I have so much to be grateful for! I'm always wanting more, but I try not to ever forget how blessed we are. Prayer helps remind me of that.

10 Things About Me...

1. 
   
   I have this weird thing where I have to use lotion right after I wash my hands. I hate the feeling if I don't. I also lotion everything after I shower every day. I love lotion!
2. 
   
   I'm a planner/list maker.
3. 
   
   I'm a dog lover without a dog! I can't wait until we can get one or two!
4. 
   
   
   I love the trail mix from Target. I can eat it all day.
5. 
   
   I had braces in junior high and now wear a retainer almost every night to keep my teeth straight! I have nightmares sometimes that my teeth are falling out. Or that my retainer is breaking into tiny pieces and I can't get them out of my mouth. Gross.
6. 
   
   I'm a bit shy but it's conditional. I am not shy online, but if I were put in a room of people I don't know then I would sit/stand there uncomfortably until someone approaches me and makes conversation.
7. 
   
    Sometimes I write random poetry. Just for fun :-)
8. 
   
   I also get baby crazy sometimes.
9. 
   
   I worked at Dairy Queen in high school. Best. Job. Ever. just because of all the "free" treats! I had a friend who worked at Hollywood video and another friend who worked at Wood Ranch so on the weekends after we all got off work, we would have free movies, ice cream, and food! Good times.
10. 
    
    Considering getting breast implants. Maybe not any time soon, but someday. Don't hate me. (Grandpa, I'm sorry you had to read that!)

5 Things I Don't Like...

1. Long lines...anywhere.
2. Dumb drivers/Traffic
3. Nightmares. I have them way more than I should!
4. Spiders, of course.
5. Not having a regular schedule with Michael. I wish we were like most couples and that we got to see each other every night and on the weekends!

 

I'm Passing This Award On To...

1. Jessica from Domesticated Bliss.
2. April from Dot..Dot...Dot...
3. Kayla from Sense of Style is Eternal.
4. Ashley from For The Love of Shoes and a Baby Too.
5. Hotpants from Handbags & Handguns. (She just wrote a post about something you should all know about, as bloggers! It makes me replying to your comments a whole lot easier!)
6. Kinsey from Kinsey Michaels.
7. Katie from Life in the Fulmer Lane.
8. Bella from Life with Mr. and Mrs. Z.
9. Annie from Our Little Family.
10. Brittany from Unexpected Surprises.

And can I just say how glad I am that today is Friday?! Man, this was a rough week!

Oh. And Blogger has been acting kinda weird lately. It won't show me all the blogs I follow and it sometimes doesn't let me add comments when I am moderating! Sad!

I have some great news!! Michael told me last night after I cried that I have to wait for everything I want that if we get an apartment with enough space and a back patio, then we can FINALLY get a doggy! I'm so excited! I'm also being a little cautious though because it seems like every time I get excited and my hopes up, they are false hopes! But the fact that he finally caved and is letting me loose on the doggy hunt...it makes me a very happy gal!!

Have a great weekend! I know I will!!

I Won! / Another Blog Award!

First off, thank you so much for all the sweet comments from my last post about having a full plate! I love how blogging is not only a way for me to keep up with friends I have in real life. I just discovered in the last few months that it can also be a support system of women who lift you up or make you laugh. So, thank you for sticking with me and forgive me for the stressful posts I put up! I try to be positive most of the time but you know how it is when sometimes you just need to let it out!!

Okay, it's time for a more upbeat blog post from me, right?! Here it goes!

I won a giveway over at Life with Mr. and Mrs.Z!! Check it out!

And I also won another blog award! This one is from Star's Pink World!

The Rules:

1) Click on the above button and paste onto your blog/website
2) Answer the below questions.
3) Pass onto 10 bloggers that you Love, go to their blog and let them know they’ve been tagged


Here we go!

1. Who is your style icon?

I don't necessarily have a style icon. I like Jennifer Aniston and Reese Witherspoon's layed back kind of looks because they always look comfortable but cute when they aren't on the red carpet.

2. What is your favorite socialite lit book?
I don't think I've ever read a socialite lit book before. Should I?

3. Favorite party theme?

I like when parties have a color theme.

4. Go to Halloween costume?
Clown outfits my mom made for her and my dad before I was even born. So funny!

5. Extravagance you cannot live without?

I do get the occasionaly mani/pedi and I love them so much! I used to color my hair more often but that got to be too expensive to keep up. I also have gotten in the bad habit of online shopping. When I see a good deal too good to pass up...I don't pass it up.

6. Living person you admire?
Oh gosh. SO MANY! I have a lot of great role models in my life. Mostly family members like my parents, in laws, grandparents...I'm lucky to have so many people to admire.

7. Greatest Fear?
Losing someone I love. I'm terrified of someone I love passing away. I always pray for my loved ones health, safety, and happiness.

8. Trait you deplore in yourself?
How I can't just "let things go". I stress way too much. Michael always tells me things will be okay but I just can't seem to get down the whole easy going attitude he has.
 
9. Which talent would you most like to have?
Well, I love to sing. And I am alright at it. But I would love to have one of those "goosebump" kind of voices that gives everyone the chills. I would be able to have more fun with singing than I do now.
 
10. Greatest Achievement?

I believe my greatest achievement would be getting married to Michael in the temple!

 

And since last time I handed out an award and most of them didn't care or know what an award was, I will be giving this out to anyone who would like it! Let me know if you took it and did it so I can check out the answers to your questions!
