What!!!  No way!! What a surprise to be awarded my very first blogger award this evening! I am the proud recipient of the Versatile Blogger award, woohoo!!  Thank you!  I was given this award by Monica over at Organized Chaos, she’s awesome!!!  Go check her out!!!

This is so exciting…the terms of accepting the award are as follows:

1. Thank the person, or persons who gave you the award
2. Share 7 things about yourself
3. Pass the award on to bloggers who you have recently discovered and think are fantastic!!

Ok, so the 7 things are:

1. I love running!  I ran a half-marathon a few months ago and am training for a relay race at the end of the summer.  It gives me endorphins and makes me a happy mama and wifey…
2. I’ve recently discovered this amazing cupcake company called the Sweet Tooth Fairy.  I’m obsessed.  And I don’t even like cake.  That would be the other reason I love running, haha!
3. I’m such a night owl.  As I sit here typing away, it’s close to midnight, and I’ve got another hour or so in me…  It doesn’t help that my hubs works from home, late nights, 4 feet away from me in the office:)
4. I grew up in the south.  I miss the trees and the humidity, the accents and the hospitality.
5. I’m not really a water person.  We live by a hot springs that we swim in all year long, kinda got spoiled, so anything below 80 degrees is too cold for me, forget about it!!
6. I was a missionary in Bolivia, which is where I met my husband.  We’ve been happily married for going on 7 years now!!
7. I’m a bargain shopper.  I can’t seem to bring myself to buy anything unless “it’s a good deal.”  It has to be on sale, consignment, have a coupon, you get the picture.  Kind of annoying i know!!

There ya go, I know, totally random info!   Now to pass it on…

Sara over at The Savvy Stitcher, and Carol at Cielo Azul are two blogs that have recently caught my eye for the incredible talent and crafting ability!  Thanks for your inspiration ladies:)  And thank you Monica!
