First Blogger Award!

Thanks to Rebecca for my first blog award!  Go visit her blog!  She just got GREAT news!


Similar to the Liebster Blog Award, certain rules also apply in receiving this award:
  • Thank the person who passed the award on to you.
  • List 7 things that people may not know about you.
  • Pass the award to 15 other bloggers and don't forget to notify them as well.  The hard part is trying to pick 15 bloggers not chosen by others. Feel free to ignore my nomination if you received it from someone else :)
Here are my nominees who's blogs I love following:
Jen @ The Chronicles of Violetta Margarita
Jen @ The Road Less Traveled
M @ A Miracle for Us
Jenna @ Among the Blossoms
Mel @ Believe in Miracles
PCOSChick @ His and Her Infertility - Like the Matching Towels
Kibou YumeAi @ Kibou YumeAi
Maria @ Mission:  Fertile Seoul
Jo @ MoJo Working
Rebecca @ Trying Not to Scream
Mommy-in-Waiting @ Waiting for our Miracle
Angie @ Random Thoughts From Angie
Joey @ The Childless Mom
Suzy @ Not a Fertile Myrtle
Rebecca @ The Road from There to Here

Since I am also doing the 30 day Blog Challenge, and today's question is:  Day 5 - 15 facts about yourself, I am going to combine the two.
Here we go:
1.  I met my husband online. Yep, we're "that" couple.
2.  Feet gross me out.  I've gotten better over the years.  I used to not be able to paint my toenails or wear open toed shoes.
3.  Speaking of shoes, I HATE shoe & purse shopping.  I'd rather spend the money on something like a new pair of jeans or a sweater.
4.  I'm a pretty frugal person, but love buying for and spoiling important people in my life. Especially our nieces and nephews.
5.  I'm very picky about grammar and sentence structure. I proofread just about everything -- including books and the newspaper!
6.  I crave milk after I exercise.
7.  I once walked 60 miles over the course of 3 days to raise money for Susan G. Komen.  Life changing experience!
8.  I believe massages should be covered by health insurance.
9.  One of my proudest accomplishments is getting and paying for a masters degree while working full-time (and traveling a bunch for work).  No loans.
10.   I am doing a job I never imagined I would do in a field I never imagined I would be in -- and I LOVE it!
11.  That being said, I would love to be a house wife (and mom)...like June Cleaver.  Seriously. 
12.  I love to read, but it is generally fiction that I don't have to think too much about.
13.  I suffer from frequent bouts of insomnia -- my mind just doesn't shut off (which leads back to the importance of #8)
14.  My dad is my hero. 
15.  I came very close to failing Spanish in college -- languages just aren't my thing.

So there you have it.  Looking forward to reading the lists of you other ladies...

  6. Hourray for number 5! Currently, my biggest pet peeve is around the disintegration of correct punctuation in written signs. For example, at my gym, they have asked that we avoid wearing "perfume's". Drives me up the wall.
    Thanks for your comments on my blog JJ. I appreciate them very much.

  7. Hey, thanks for the award! I met my husband online too, nearly 6 years ago. Chemistry.com was what worked for us. We always joke about being scientifically matched to a similar level of emotional instability!
