AWARDS & GIVEAWAYS!!

Okay yall I am so thrilled. For multiple reasons!!

1) I won this AMAZING "Your blog is BREATH-TAKING" award from Sarah @ We're just like you only prettier!  If you don't read her blog you need to!! We joke that we are twins because we have so much in common!! so... a BIG thank you, Sarah for the award!!

Here are the questions that go along with the award:

1. What inspires you?  The little babies that I teach everyday... they inspire me to love better and to teach better.  They also remind me that there is a little child in us all ... or some of us maybe a LOT ha :)

2. What is your favorite season and why?  Well... you can pretty much take Sarah's answer and copy and paste it here. Except I'm not as cool as her because I don't have a drop top, sad day.  ha!  But really, I LOOOVE summer! I love spending time with my family and now that I am a teacher I just am so excited that I will get to really enjoy this time again. I have grow up going to my families beach house every year during the summer... such great memories there such as K proposing to me... swoon!

the day after he proposed!

 3. What are you most looking forward to this year? A new life... new adventures... and spending it with the ones I love the most!! And right now- spring break (at the beach hopefully) and summer ha! {seriously though}

relaxing and enjoying the sunset maybe!?

 4. If you could write a book about anything, what would it be about? Honestly, I  could never!  I am so ADD that I can barely sit still long enough to write a blog entry without being distracted. ha! If I did though, maybe funny quotes of my daddy and the fun slangs that he used to create... or so we thought he created... "Riders on the Storm!" haha

5.What is your greatest passion? LOVING the Lord by far is my GREATEST!  Even though I do not deserve it at all he loves and forgives me a million times over and over and over! Other than Him... it would be loving kids. And loving others- I'm not great at it I will admit but I do genuinely love people and am a huge people person!

 6. If you could change one thing about yourself what would it be?  I would be less lazy and less self-conscious and less judgmental and critical of myself and others.  I have tons of room for growth here!

7.  Lastly, What is your favorite Novel? By far it has to be The Notebook and The Wedding.  Those books were sooo great and the Notebook was so way better than the movie its not even funny!! MMM romance!

okay I must admit just googling images for this I am now drooling over tons of photos and people who did engagement photos like this couple... maybe K & I can do this for our anniv or something... check this couple out at this post!  I am so jealous and will probably be watching this movie going to bed tonight. yup. :)

I am passing this lovely award on to


Kelly @ Happy Day World!
Sonja @ For the Love of Stilettos!
Danielle @ The Lenz Family!
