Award... for me? really??

So yes, I am becoming more and more of an avid blogger every day! I can't live without checking out what all the other ladies are up to, watching their cute little children grow, taking in all their advice and empathizing when I read something that I completely can relate to! It's become a support group in a way. So I was so excited to get my first blog award thanks to Laura at Lilly Loves .



So here is what I have to do as a Beautiful Blogger Award Recipiant:

1. Thank and link the person who gave you this award.

2. Pass this award onto 5 blogs that you think are fantastic. (ok, so I might not get 5 because well I am new to this game and most of the blogs I think are fantastic, are obviously fantastic and already received this award)

3. Contact blogs and let them know they've won.

4. State seven interesting things about yourself that people may not know.

Here I go with the 7 things, sorry if you already know this about me and find it boring :)

* My husband is the first guy that I ever called boyfriend.

* I love dogs, especially rescues, I cry at those commercials on tv with all the sad faces, that is why we have 3 dogs of our own, Ellie (5 year old pug, had her since college) Layla (2 year old rescued mutt) and Bentley (5 or 6 year old rescued golden retriever)

* I LOOOOOOOOOVE Purdue sports, ok so love might be a strong word because a lot of the time they give me heart attacks and high blood pressure, but I couldn't live without it! My family and I went to 5 bowl games over my teenage years including the Rose Bowl when the Super Bowl Champ Drew Brees took us

* I caught my arm on fire once when I was in middle school, very dramatic experience

* I have 2 tattoos (I LOVE THEM!)

* I am like many in this new mommy blog world ... ADDICTED to Diet Coke (yes McDonalds is the best!) My first meal after I have Baby Girl is going to be a Club Lulu from Jimmy Johns with a Large Diet Coke from McD's

* I hope to one day own my own kennel and be my own boss! Live in a pretty house on at least 5 acres where our business will be located, our dogs can run and have a couple horses to love on too!

Here are my nominees:

Emily @ Jake, Em & Baby Girl

Lindsey @ The Leonard's

Jenny @ The Semans Family

Mrs. D @ The Power of the Pink Lines
