What, Another Award???

Yep! ANOTHER!!!! When someone gives me an award I feel like the kid who gets picked first for kickball! How lucky! I have to give a big THANKS to The Simple Life for giving me this award! Go and check out her blog!


Taaaaa Daaaaaa!!!!
The Versatile Blogger

Now for the fun part! I get to tell you 7 things about myself. Totally random stuff. Gonna be hard since I have shared so much random stuff with you lovely readers before! Ok here we go...

1. When I was little I was afraid of the "wrinkle monster". I had to have my blanket completely wrinkle free before I could go to sleep so that the "wrinkle monster" would not get me. Yep, I was even OCD then. Not too much has changed.... although now I don't think the "wrinkle monster" is really going to come after me.

2. I won tons of theater awards in high school but I only have 2 of them displayed in my house today. One is an All Star Cast Award which I got at the South Eastern Theater Conference that was held in Mobile Alabama during my junior year (ummm yeah that is a pretty BIG deal) and the other is a Superior Acting Award that I got at the Palmetto Dramatic Association during my sophomore year (yep, pretty BIG deal too). I am super proud of them!

3. I love taking pictures but really stink at it. Don't care though. I still enjoy it and am glad I am capturing these precious moments of my kids.

4. When I was little I had an imaginary friend. Remember the movie Casper with Christina Ricci? Well Stretch the ghost was my imaginary friend. Why I chose him over Casper is beyond me. No clue there. All I know is I took pictures of my imaginary friend, that's how serious I was. Oh, and those pictures were in an album. Yep, Stretch at Biltmore! Gotta love it!

5. One of our cats had been missing for a few days (oh, this was when I was little by the way) so my Mom, my sister and I all decided to go and look for him before we left to go somewhere. Well I found him dead in our playhouse. Not just a little dead, I mean like nasty dead too. Instead of telling anybody I lied and said I couldn't find him. Not because I was sad or thought I would get in trouble, but because I wanted to go to the zoo or the museum (I can't remember now which it was) and I knew Mom wouldn't take us if she had to deal with the dead cat. So now I am secretly terrified that I will do that if I find a person dead too. Just walk away and act like I never saw it. Sure hope I never find anyone dead! How messed up would that be? And also illegal in some situations!

6. I am afraid of the dark. Terribly afraid. So afraid that I hated that show "Are You Afraid Of The Dark?" just because of the title. Ok really I am just a big scardy cat because I am also afraid of big open spaces, flying, the water, being shot and/or stabbed in the back, chocking on something and watching someone watch me die that way, the gas pump exploding while I am getting gas..... weird stuff.... ridiculous stuff!

7. I hate being repetitive. You know when you tell someone something and they say "huh? what did you say?", well before I say it again I have to think of a different way to say it. Then if they don't get it that time I just say "forget it" and move on. Saying it three times may make my head explode! The teenage years should be a blast for me (gulp)!

Well I hope that did not bore you too much (or scare you into not following me!). I now have the honor of giving this wonderful award to another worthy blogger! Drum roll please....

My Blog Awards

I received these awards from LaVonne at Long Wait For Isabella and I am very proud to post them on my blog! It is so nice to know that people actually read my blog... honestly I started my blog for me. It is just a place for me to brag, vent, express myself, and share my opinions. It is just an added bonus that people read and enjoy it along with me!

Happy 101 Award




Here are the rules: 1. Copy and Paste the award on your blog. 2. List who gave the award to you and use a link to their blog. 3. List 10 things that make you happy. 4. Pass the award on to other bloggers and let them know about the award.

10 Things That Make Me Happy:

1. Praying to an amazing God who loves me unconditionally.
2. My husband, daughter and son.... everything about them and everything they do! They are amazing and I can't imagine life without them!
3. Coke-a-Cola

9. Sleeping in (with 2 kids I think this may be a thing of the past....)
10. Taking pictures of my beautiful gifts from God!



Honest Scrap Award

If you receive this award you must nominate at least 1 other blogger and pass it on. And list 10 honest things about yourself that no one knows!

Well the name says it all! It is all about being an honest blogger. They way I see it, if you aren't blogging honestly, why are you blogging at all? I enjoy reading honest blogs, and even more, I enjoy writing an honest blog!

10 Things You Don't Know About Me

1. I will never fly in an airplane..... by far, my BIGGEST fear of all!
2. I love being pregnant, labor and delivery! All of it! It is amazing and I would do it 100 times if I could!
3. I can play Super Nintendo with my toes.... yes I have monkey feet for sure! I can also strike a lighter with my toes!
4. I hate Dr. Pepper.... it tastes like medicine!
5. I talk to my Granddaddy, Granny and Uncle Mark every single day of my life (even though they all passed away while I was young)
6. I have NEVER tried/taken any type of drugs.... I can't stand for people to say "it's part of growing up... they are all gonna try it.... it's not big deal" I never did and I pray that my children make that same decision for themselves..
7. I talk in my sleep.... terribly!!!!
8. I walk in my sleep.... terribly!!!
9. I am very sensitive about my height.
10. I am too judgmental and I know it... even though I know it and pray about it DAILY... I can't change it.... only God can, and I hope someday He will!

Depending on who is reading this, you may or may not know some of these!

Blog Award

I recently got my first blog award! Hooray! But.... with Jayce being a little bit of a grumpy guy I haven't had time to post it! I will be working on that post tonight once he is down for the night! I think the only time I will get any "fun" things done will be in the wee hours of the night for a while! But that's just fine! He is a great baby and we are blessed to have him! My life is a little crazy right now, but I know it won't be for long!

You can read about my award here! Thanks LaVonne! (This is a blog that I love!!!) The award made my day! It is great to know that people take the time to join me on my journey through this blog! God may be using my blog for something big... who knows!
