So, my super awesome friend Annalee over at LIFELAUGHSANDLADDS has nominated me for a Liebster Award.  What is that exactly you ask? Well, in blogger town it is an amazing nerd alerting way of getting to know other bloggers out there.  J

  Being a newbie blogger myself, this is my first link up so hopefully I get this right and will be able to do things like this more often!!!

 

Here are the rules for the Liebster Award: 

·  Answer the 11 questions that the blogger who nominated you asked.

·  List 11 random facts about yourself.

·  Mention some blogs you're loving reading at the moment

·  Set 11 questions for those newly nominated bloggers to answer.

·  Thank the person who nominated you and link back to their blog
.So, like the slogan for Nike, JUST DO IT!

1. If you could be a super hero, who would you be/why?
 

I would want to be Captain Planet.  He can summon the earth, fire, wind, water, and heart like powers to help defeat bad guys that are trying to destroy the earth.  C’mon, without the earth, where are we going to live, eat, and breathe?  Plus he has blue hair (and we all know I love crazy stuff like that).
2. First person you call when something amazing happens?

I call my mom or my hubby. My mom always wants to talk and my hubby is well… you get the idea.
3.  Original or Extra Crispy?

There really is no comparison here.  You either get mushy or crispy and mushy and chicken just shouldn’t be in the same sentence.
4.  Three things you would take to a deserted island (non-essentials)?

My Bible, my 10 dollar sunglasses (because if I am ever to get rescued I wanna be looking fly for a white guy gal), and one of those water filter water bottles.  The water filter water bottle is good for at least 30 uses I think so hopefully I’d be rescued by that time. 
5.  If you could change one thing in your past- what would it be?

I would have saved myself for marriage. 
6.  NKOTB or BSB?

Since Nsync is not an choice, BSB. 
7.  Favorite place in your home?

My bed.  It may be old but it still so comfy.  I can fall asleep so fast there.
8.  What do you want to be when you grow up?

HAHA Since I am STILL in my 20’s (I am in denial about my next birthday) I hope to eventually go to nursing school and help itty bitty babies make it to be bigger and louder toddlers.
9.  What's one thing that really get's your goat?

Oh gosh! Just one? Man, I would have to say making people feel inferior or leaving people out of things because you find them a little bit annoying.  I know how that feels and I hate feeling that way so I try not to exclude people from my life till they have wronged me in some way.  Or the word Boner.
10.  What was your favorite cartoon growing up & can you still sing the theme song?

Favorite Cartoon growing up was Inspector Gadget.  My mom said I watched that all the time and YES I still know that song.  Da na na na na….
11.  If you were ice cream, what flavor would you be/why?

Pralines and cream.  I can be a little nutty with a lot of sweetness.  

 

Now for my 11 random facts!!!

·        I am deathly afraid of being on a boat in any kind of open water.  I once cried on an eight minute ferry from Anacortes, WA to Guemes Island, even though it was BARELY moving and I was safely in my vehicle.  Please refrain from laughing till after these facts are finished.

·        I urged my almost 5 year old to have a Star Wars birthday party JUST SO I could plan it and have an excuse to geek out to it.  Don’t judge me…

·        The sound and color my 2 year makes when he is farting or pooping makes me laugh so hard (I am a horrible mother…. LOL )

·        I secretly want to dye my hair bright pink like Gwen Stefani’s was.

·        I have a HUGE crush on Zac Efron. (again Don’t judge me)

(I am sorry but seriously....YUM!! AND he IS 25)

·        I LOOOOOOVE Pickle and Peanut butter sandwiches (do NOT knock it till you have tried it).

·        I like cleaning other people’s houses, but not my own.

·        I am a HUGE procrastinator.

·        I have to watch series on instant stream one episode after the other.  I hate waiting a week see the next episode!

·        I miss my iphone only because I could change the case out every other week if I wanted.  

·        I am allergic to Kiwi Fruit, just like Ross in the TV show FRIENDS.

As I sit here and reflect on my life for the past 30 years, I think about all the good times and the bad times. 

There have been many.  I have felt joyful, alone, angry, rejected, complete, and all the adjectives in between. 

I look at the expectations for the next 30 years and I start to ponder the things I want to accomplish. 

 

 

 

 

 

My list does not necessarily look like everyone else’s but it is my list and I can not wait to start tackling all that God has in store for me.

 

1. Start nursing school
2. Learn more patience and grace with my family, friends, and those who are undeserving.
3. Read the Bible from beginning to end.
4. Memorize all the Proverbs.
5. Support my husband and encourage him more daily.
6. Push out of my comfort zone more often and become fearless.
7. Learn how to shoot and to fish.
8. Earn the respect and forgiveness of those that I have wronged or hurt.
9. Grow my relationship with Christ from the small seedling it has become to one that is deserving of a woman of the King.
10. Continue to eliminate the negativity in my mind, my heart, and my life.

 

This is not the end of my list but it is what I am working for now.

 

I hope this encourages everyone to do the same.

What is on your list?
