The Award Goes To....

It seems that awards season is beginning.
In my US Weekly this past week I looked at all the pretty dresses, shoes, and jewelry that the stars wore to the Golden Globes.

Now, I won't be spending thousands of dollars on an outfit for one night out in a pretty dress, but I did find out that I did get a few blog awards.

Both my blog friends Mandy and Mindy gave me these awards.
(Thank you, girls! I think both of you are fabulous!)


The first is the Beautiful Blogger Award and here are the rules:
1. Thank the person who nominated you for this award
2. Copy the award and place it on your blog
3. Link to the person who nominated you for this award
4. Tell us 7 interesting things about yourself
5. Nominate 7 bloggers
6. Post links to the 7 blogs I nominate

So here are 7 (somewhat) interesting things about me:
1. I have never in my life been camping.
2. Every once in awhile I just want to walk around a bookstore and create a huge stack of books I want to read. However, that would mean that I would have to find the time to read them all.
3. Speaking of reading - I always read when I am drying my hair. Am I the only one who does that?
4. I worked at a coffee shop all during college...I don't drink coffee.
5. I online shop all the time. However, I put all this stuff in "my cart" and then realize that I need to have some self control and then just close the website. (My virtual closet has some great clothes in it though!)
6. I love to bake and cook, but I don't do it all that much. I wish I was more creative in this department, but I am a super picky eater so new recipes never seem to make it into my kitchen.
7. I don't wear a watch however I am obsessed with what time it is. I'm always looking at my cell phone or looking around for a clock.


Here is my second award.

Here are the rules of the second award {which looks totally yummy!}
1. Copy the award image into a post
2. List 10 things that make you happy
3. Tag 10 bloggers who brighten your day
4. Put a link to their blogs
5. Notify the award receivers
6. Recipients should link back to the sender's blog {this is totally optional!}

10 things that make me happy:
1. Josh (I love him.... a lot!)
2. Alyse (She makes me laugh so much! I think she is just precious!)
3. Being pregnant (I really do love it! And can't wait to meet Miss Breeley.)
4. My church (Each Sunday I sit there thinking that I am so glad that I have Elevation and the people from it in my life!)
5. My bed! (It's my happy place!)
6. My television (I wasn't really allowed to watch much TV as a kid. Ever since college when I had my own TV and made my own rules, I've been a little obsessed with my television...)
7. Shopping (Clothes, things for Alyse, now things for Breeley, things for my house...)
8. My computer - Facebook/Twitter/Blogging (And all the new friends that I have meet!)
9. Polka Dots (I always tend to buy things for Alyse with polka dots. I am just drawn to them.)
10. Traveling (Oh how I wish I could do more of this! Love going to new places.)
