I got an award y'all!! I had always seen these "blog awards" going around other, more popular blogs, but I never thought I'd be on the receiving end of one. Many thanks to Infertile Housewife!! You guys should really go check out her blog, if you haven't already. She has such hilarious nicknames for the special ones in her life (Banana Face?!? Bahaha!) and is a total sweetheart. She is the epitome of southern hospitality!
One to the award rules:
- Share who gave you the award with a link back to their blog. (You can click on her name above for the link).
- Share 7 random facts about yourself.
- Give the award to 15 other bloggers.
- Let them know that they've won.
- Put the award up on your blog.
- I like my mac-n-cheese (only if it's Kraft), oatmeal, and scrambled eggs runny. Well, I guess soupy in the mac-n-cheese case.
- I almost always try to read a book before watching the movie/tv show adaption. I like to be one of those snotty people, "Oh, the book is SOOO much better...the director missed SOOO many things."
- When I was a senior in high school I dreamed of getting in my car and driving east (think New Mexico/Texas) and settling in the first town I ran out of gas in.
- I am technically an only child. My parents split after having me and my Mom went on to have just one more baby with my Stepdad, my half-sister. My other siblings are all step-siblings.
- I ADORE the sound of genuine laughter, from babies and kids and even adults.
- I am TERRIFIED of ghosts/paranormal shit/demons/whatever. Seriously. I can't watch Paranormal Activity without having a panic attack later when I'm trying to sleep. It drives Curtis nuts.
- I tend to really love something, until everyone else loves it. For example, I really enjoyed Twilight after I read it and the first movie came out. Then I just got sick of it. The hype of it, the obsessed fans, all of it. I still watch the movies (at least a week after it comes out, I hate packed move theaters), but I just hate it now. I'm feeling that way about The Hunger Games now too! The only exceptions are comic book movies and Harry Potter.
- Emily over at Come What May. She and her husband suffered with infertility also and now have three beautiful children (TRIPLETS!!) thanks to a successful round of IVF.
- Megan over at Girl Meets Camera. She is an Army Wife currently living in Korea with her Hubs and two adorable kiddies. Little Timmy is seriously one of the cutest kids I've ever seen...on the internet. haha.
- Carly over at Life is Beautiful. Carly and I go all the way back to high school and she has been such a huge supporter of Curtis and I during our infertility struggle...all while wrestling her two kiddos and watching her husband become a EMT firefighter.
- Thundercatsareago over at Our Crazy Life . She and her hubby just got pregnant with twin boys after a successful IVF round!
- Jessica over at Poppy and Pine. Jess is one of my good friends who is currently living in Okinawa-Japan with her Marine hubby and too cute son Jackson. She's also one of my fitness motivators...she appreciates the finer, less-healthy foods every now and then, just like me!
- The Kraken over at The Kraken. She and her hubby suffered from infertility until she got preggers with a successful round with Clomid. I think she may have actually had her baby since she hasn't posted in so long! She's hilarious and snarky and just my kind of gal!
- Ed over at Things People Said After My Miscarriage. Still trying to find success after multiple miscarriages while weeding her way through unbelievably insensitive people.
- Queen Elizabeth over at Whenisitgonnabemyturn. She is such a sweet woman who, like many of us, is just trying to keep her head, and hopes, up on her journey.
- Eyes Wide Open over at With Eyes Wide Open. Dealing with infertility (multiple miscarriages) while being a full-time Stepmom (her stepson lives with her), which we know is a job in itself! She's such an inspiration as she trudges through each obstacle with her head high.
