*Breaking News*

I interrupt today's regular scheduled post (which is below) for some breaking news. Ok not breaking, but fun! I have been given two rewards. How fun is that!? My dear friend Somer rewarded me with this one:

Thanks Somer for thinking of me!

Rules for the reward:

1. Thank the person who gave you the award and link to their blog.

2. Share 10 honest things about yourself.

3. Present this award to 7 other whose blogs you find brilliant in design or content.

4. Tell those 7 people they have been awarded.

10 Honest Things About Myself:

1. I worry constantly about everything and my only saving grace is my savior Jesus Christ

2. We are currently trying to get preggers with a third blessing after suffering a miscarriage.

3. I was born in Vienna, Austria where my parents were missionaries. They would plan boarder crossings while I napped in hopes the guards wouldn't disturb a sleeping baby, and it worked! They have many crazy stories of bible smuggling during the iron curtain era.

4. I had really hard, complicated relationships through my school years and I am very thankful for the great friends I have today.

5. I love TV. I watch way too much. And I have no idea how I survived without Tivo.

6. I am the pickiest eater ever. I don't like most things, including most sweets (good for me though!). And I am trying my hardest to make sure my kiddos don't pick up this bad habit.

7. I hate cleaning. Don't get me wrong I love tidiness and organization, but when it comes down to cleaning out the fridge, the toilets, around the base boards, mopping, yuk! My hubby is a better cleaner than me!

8. I hated to read. That was until I discovered Francine Rivers (Redeeming Love to be specific), now I love to, well when I get the time.

9. I entered the blogging world (not writing my own yet but starting to read others) around this time last year and I am so thankful for the other women/mommies out there that share their lives with others so we can learn and grow from their happiness, sarrow, mistakes, strengths, and just being a fly on the wall of their lives.

10. I am tickled pink each and every time I get a comment on one of my posts! : )

Check out these 7 blogs:

1. Studiophotographie (gotta give the hubs a shout out!)

2. The Joys of Being a Mother (gotta give a shout back!)

3. Kevin and Amanda (great blog decorating links and ideas!)

4. Natalie's Sentiments (love her!)

5. Matt and Maddy (daddy and daughter on their own)
