The Liebster Blog Award

I received a sweet blog award the other day from the awesome Nikki at The Pink Growl and as I alluded to in today's earlier post, I was feeling kind of down last night, so I didn't play along then...but I'm back in action. Cause something that brings me joy that I will be attempting to do more of? Blogging. Yup. Good stuff, huh? 


If you don't know Nikki, I highly suggest you check out her blog! She's a sweetheart who is a fairly recently engaged chica! I've gotten to know her through the blog and Twitter. Hoping to meet her in person one day. :)

Here's the award rules:1. Link back to the person who gave it to you.
2. Post the award to your blog.
3. Give the award to 5 bloggers with less than 200 followers.
4. Leave a comment on the 5 blogs to let them know that they have been offered this award.
5. Share 5 random facts about yourself.

Here are the 5 lovelies that I am, in turn, nominating for this honor:

5. Sarah Kate @ Dixie Creek Farm
Please check them out and I can promise that you won't be disappointed!


And now for the 5 Random Facts about ME:
1. I have had my gallbladder removed. It was an interesting experience that started with me thinking it was my appendix!
2. I LOVE to read. I am always reading some type of book. :)
3. I have pictures everywhere...they cover my walls, sit on shelves, are taped to the filing cabinet at work, etc. I love being able to look at a picture and remember the happy moments captured there.
4. My favorite food is lasagna. I could eat it for pretty much every meal. I sometimes accidentally call it la-sag-na (say it phonetically, is that right?) because my dad was a jerk and always tried to make us kids learn how to spell (I'm a great speller by the way) and would pronounce the words incorrectly. Some of those incorrect sayings stuck with me (just a family joke) and I accidentally say them from time to time!
5. I listen to music when I need to clear my mind. My current fave song stuck on repeat would be:
