I'd Like To Thank The Academy...

Actually I'd like to thank Rainforest Mommy for this cool award! Thanks a bunch!

The rules that go along with this award are:

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

2. Share seven things about yourself.

3. Pass this award along to bloggers who you have recently discovered and who you think are fantastic for whatever reason.

Okay.

1. If I could live anywhere on the planet, it would be the Rocky Mountains in Colorado.

2. I have 3 dogs, Moose, Molly and Blackie. I complain about them sometimes, but I would be lost without them!

3. I love blogging way more than I thought I would. I hesitated starting one for so long, now I don't know why!

4. My favorite color is purple. I love all things purple. Especially clothes and jewelry. I even had purple streaks in my hair, which I need to re-do. I have all the stuff for it, and my hubby does it for me! (He does really good, too! He can do almost ANYTHING!)

5. It has been almost 10 years since I got married, since I was hospitalized, and since I got the trach. Sometimes it seems like 100 years, sometimes it seems like yesterday. I don't think I'll EVER accept this disease.

6. I miss my dear friend Linda, who died from endometrial cancer almost 2 years ago. I miss her every day. My heart still breaks when I think about her struggle at the end. She was the best friend a person could ask for.

7. I am blessed beyond belief for the friends, family, and child I have. I thank God EVERY day for all the blessings He has given me!

Now, to pass this along to five awesome bloggers:

To Margaret at The World As I See It

To Mary at Princess, Daughter of the King

To Aging Mommy

To Crystal at In The Wings

To Corrie at Just Because My Pickle Talks Doesn't Make Me an Idiot

Hope everyone is having a wonderful weekend!!
