The Versatile Blogger Award

Heather @ Teens and a Toddler awarded me the

Versatile Blogger Award...

*To accept this award, there are 4 rules*

1. Thank the person who gave you the award.

Thank You Heather @ Teens and a Toddler for this award. I am new to reading your blog and look forward to getting to know you through your posts. I admire you for having 4 girls and a toddler too! Must be some fun times at your house. :-)

2. Share seven things about yourself

1. I truly believe that EVERYTHING happens for a reason. It may not always be clear, but even all the bad things (as we perceive them) have a reason. They are all part if His plan and we are just part of the Lower story.

2. The Princess is an extremely strong willed child. My mom keeps telling me she is JUST like I was. I survived, so I am sure The Princess will too.

3. My favorite movie of all time is My Fair Lady. It has music, romance, drama, and comedy all wrapped into one awesome movie. It was only slightly ruined for me in college when I found out that Audrey Hepburn had her singing voice dubbed for most of the songs.

4. I love being a mom. This is the only thing I have ever wanted from the time I was younger. And as much as they drive me crazy, and believe me THEY do, I wouldn't change having them for the world! They can do so many irritating things in a row, and then give me that adorable grin they both have or the infectious giggle and I get over whatever they were doing to be irritating in the first place.

5. I can handle stressful/scary situations in the moment and then break down crying once things settle down. For example: My mom passed out at a gas station when I was about 15 years old. I rode in the front of the ambulance, filled out all of her paperwork when we got to the hospital, made sure she had everything she needed, and THEN broke down crying! It was scary! She ended up being fine. She had given blood that morning and had not had anything to eat. We were on our way to shop and have lunch when this happened.

6. I am a coke drinker. Pepsi sucks.

7. I have been using the same black purse I bought myself after The Superhero was born. I am not into material things for myself and cannot bring myself to spend money on items like purses, wallets, sunglasses, etc. I have no problems if other people do this, it is just not for me. My purse that I bought back when The Superhero was little cost me about $100, I had a hard time even spending that much on a purse, but I still love it today, so I guess it was worth it.

3. Pass the award on to 12 bloggers you have recently discovered and who you think are fantastic. (ok, I have not "recently" discovered these ones, I have been a blog slacker as far as reading, but I do LOVE these ladies and think they are fantastic!)
