Wow...Bloggy Friends Know How to Make Your Day!

When I opened my e-mail this morning I had a wonderful surprise!  Emily of Entirely Emily had nominated me for the Versatile Blogger Award. Thanks, Emily!  Her blog is full of crafting, cooking, and organizing posts along with so much more!  Check her out!  



I received this award in March from Ashley of Keeping Up With the Joneses and am so moved that I have been honored again. I had not put this on my blog so Emily had no idea I had already received this honor. However, there are so many amazing blogs out there and a lot of new ones that I have found since March I'm glad I get the opportunity to participate in this again.

Here are the rules for this award
1. Thank the Blogger who nominated you.
2. Include a link to their site.
3. Include the award image in your post.
4. Give 7 random facts about yourself.
5. Nominate 15 other Bloggers for the award.
6. When nominating, include a link to their site.
7. Let other Bloggers know they have been nominated.

1. Thank Emily. Done!
2. Include a link Entirely Emily. Done!
3. Include the award image on this post. Done!
4. Give 7 random facts about yourself. Okay, here it goes!
  • My husband and I met while we were students at OSU (The Ohio State University). I was an undergrad studying finance and he was a master's student studying nuclear/civil engineering) 
  • My two oldest children attend OU (Ohio University) where my daughter is a member of the Marching 110. Check out this youtube video. 

  • I love the color red and my first car was a 1986 red nissan sentra 
  • When I find a new love I am very obsessive....I can drive people crazy! 
  • I talk really fast....I mean really fast! My two oldest do too....especially my daughter! 
  • One of my dear friends is battling breast cancer. To show support, I cut my hair short and donated it to locks for love (it was down to my waist and is now shoulder length)

Thank you so much for adding my name to this great list. My (very) humble blog is not worthy. You definitely have inspired me to be more vigilant with my posting now.
Congratulations on your winning, you have a great blog!

Thanks so much Marilyn - I really got a kick out of your random things about you. =) Cool that we are Buckeye fans too - probably not as much as you are, but I soo enjoyed watching the video of the marching band. Appreciate the award and congrats on receiving it yourself. I have several in my files and need to get them around and post them all. Thanks again for thinking of me.

Marilyn. Congratulations on the award, again! You're an award junkie, but you're so worth it. I love, love, love that video. I could sit and watch that all day. We have nothing like that over here. My daughter's little 'elementary' school has a small band but it's nothing like that. It's all very quiet and they sit down in the auditorium and everyone thinks it's quite dorky. I've gotta hand it to you guys over there. You certainly know how to rock it! Those guys are so great. Now I feel like shuffling! (I'm always shuffling, you know that. LOL)

Thank you so much for nominating me, Marilyn, it's an unexpected honor and a great gift to find out, coming home from the seaside! I have already received it before, so you understand if I can't nominate another 15 blogs again :) But to me, it's a wonderful, wonderful feeling!
