With this award comes some serious responsibilities...
1. Thank and link back to the person who awarded you (see above)
2. Share 7 things about yourself
3. Award to 10 great bloggers
4. Contact those bloggers and tell them about the award
So, here we go... my 7 things!
1. I was just informed by my sweet husband that the word "blog" is a verbally condensed phrase that actually came from "web log" (say it 10X fast and you will get the idea) . So, I guess this officially makes me nerdy, or just married to a nerd :)
2. Now, I feel compelled to say something more uplifting about my hubs. God knew exactly what he was doing when he created my sweet husband and I know he had his attributes in mind when he created me four years later. He is strong is ways that I am weak, and great in ways that I often fail. He is ever so patient and possesses such a joyful heart and generous spirit. And he will contribute to some very beautiful babies someday!
3. I have an OCD obsession about water in the bathroom, or should I say, where water shouldn't be in the bathroom. I strongly dislike water around the sink, tube and especially toilet (if there's water around the toilet that probably means it 's overflowing annnd that would be gross). I probably spend way too much time wiping up water around the sink and I am exceptionally cautious about getting water around the bathtub when I shower... I even dry the bottom of my feet before I step out.
4. I am a lover of art! Both the hubs and I come from artistic backgrounds (Matt's grand-dad and every female on my side starting with my grandmother), and we love all things creative. I am proud to say that every painting/drawing displayed, or that will be displayed, in our home was either done by us, for us or is a relative of us (our count is now at 6 and will expand whenever we have more walls to show them off).
5. I do not have any vices per say, I mean I enjoy an occasional Starbucks or coke, but it is definitely not something I would have withdrawals from if I had to go without. However, there is one thing I cannot resist and I'm sad to say it is school supplies (this may or may not be the reason I will finish my second collegiate degree in less than 7 years). I mean who could resist a new package of Sharpie pens, a crisp stack of dividers or their very own Dymo Label maker!!!
6. I am jealous, a healthy jealousy be that as it may, of people who's gifts are so obvious and saturated with God's blessings that you look at them and know 100%, that position was destined for them! There are some people I've encountered or works I have seen that are so mind-blowing I cannot help but say to myself, "You were meant to be an artist... or an athlete... or a minister... or a teacher... or a mother, etc." I have always had a hunger for my gifts to be as prevalent as some I have witnessed, and whether they are already apparent or not I hope that eventually my ears, eyes and heart are open to whatever they may be.
7. Golly, this better be a good tidbit about myself, being my last one and all. So, I guess I would have to end by saying I could probably be classified as a hopeless romantic, minus the hopeless part. I live for moments, both in the present and the future. Moments like experiencing my first child's birth, window shopping with a Starbucks in hand (eek, maybe it is a vice), having picnics in the park, snuggling on the couch on a cold winter's day, etc.
And here's to some other fabulous blogger's out there...
