My First Award

Wow, I am so excited. I have been blogging for about 6 months now and received my first award today from Baby Hopes.  Go give her some love as she is starting her journey with IVF!

 

 

So how this works...

• Snatch the image.
• Link back the person who gave you the award. (Thanks again Baby Hopes!)
• Share 7 things about myself
• Award 10 other bloggers and contact them so they know they’ve won. 

1.  I have lived in 6 different states.  No my dad was not in the military, but in the hotel industry.  I was born in New Jersey and lived in Tennessee, Virginia, Michigan, Missouri, Kansas and now back to Missouri and yes, in that order!

2.  I have one brother.  He is 3 1/2 years older than me.  His wife and I are great friends (actually my Matron of Honor in our wedding).  They live in Kansas City- about 3 hours from us.  We enjoy our trips to KC to see them and their kids (Joe & Kate- who I ADORE!) and of course friends!  We are actually heading that way this weekend for one of my best friends from high school wedding.

3.  I have no hobbies.  I think it has to do with my ADHD.  I have a hard time finishing projects.  Emar has lots of hobbies  (he is very talented) so I decided my hobby would be donating my time to the American Cancer Society Relay For Life.  I am in my 2nd year as co-chair and I love the mission and the people!

4.  We have a dog Maggie who we treat like a child.  She is spoiled as can be.  We even let the 70 pound black lab sleep in between us at night. 

5.  I love my inlaws- I know, can you believe it?  They are great people to be around and I feel like I can talk to my MIL like she is my own mother. I am truly blessed.

6.  Emar and I met on Match.com in 2007.  He was my first date.  I did go out on one more date but I kept comparing that guy (can't even remember his name)  to Emar.  8 months later, we were engaged, 8 months after that, we were married.

7.  I am a Kansas State University alumni and proud of it!  Even though I am a Missouri gal, I went to K-State for Hotel/Restaurant Management.  I graduated in 3 years (had 60 hours in duel credit from high school).  That is one thing I regret, speeding through.  I don't regret that fact that I would have had more than my $30,000 student loan to pay back if I would have stayed longer:)  I can't regret too much, b/c I wouldn't probably be where I am today if I hadn't graduated early.
