"Gorgeous Blogger Award"

Thank you Anne for this super cute award!

The rules for this award go as followed:
* Accept & thank the fellow bloggie who gave this to you
* List 10 things about yourself
* List 5 additional things that you don't like
* Award this to 10 other fellow bloggies

Ok, here we go then:
1- I like peanut butter and I think jelly is ok but I do not like them together...weird I know!
2- I love to make jewelry!  I have done a few weddings and love to be creative with it!
3- My favorite place to go out to eat is Olive Garden or Hacienda!  They are both so yummy!
4-When I got married I was still a picky eater and Nate told me that I have to try at least something once before I say I don't like it because as you get older your taste buds change and boy am I glad he talked me into doing so because I have really liked some interesting food! 
5- I do not dye my hair...it's all natural!  I would like to donate it again if I am patient enough to grow it out again!
6- I am so happy I am almost down to my pre-pregnancy shape!  I can fit into most of my clothes from before I was pregnant!  Super exciting for me! 
7-I am not a huge fan of reading but I do like to read to Nataleigh and I hope she likes to read as she gets older!
8- I collect Willow Tree Figurines and just love them and what they mean!
9- I like making my own baby food for Nataleigh!  It's way cheaper and I like knowing that I control what her little body is taking in!
10- I was robbed as a bank teller November 18, 2008 right around the time of conception...so I know my little girl is a fighter!  Bonus:  The robber was caught shortly after and is now in jail/prison! 

Now for 5 things I don't like:
1- People who do not know how to drive and/or do not obey traffic laws. It is not an "option" to use your blinker.....it is also common courtesy!  I agree with Anne on this one especially when I have Nataleigh in the car I want everyone to drive safely around us!
2- I don't like a dirty house...it drives me nuts...so after I'm done with this post I'm going to clean! clean! clean!
3- I don't like mushrooms....they are disgusting!
4- I don't like cars that have loud music or exhausts...they drive me crazy as well!
5- When someone is wearing way too much perfume/cologne and it's like they took a bath in it. Ditto Anne...it also gives me a super bad headache!

Now, I shall pass on this award to the following lucky ladies:

Megan- Our Journey...
Kelly- Nurse Mamma
Steph- Somewhat Simple
Kimbo- a girl and a glue gun
Amy- The idea room
Tina- The Common Cents Home
Jane- Finding Fabulous
Sarah- Thrifty Decor Chick
Kimm- Reinvented
Wenderful- Wenderful 365

MY FIRST AWARD!!!!!

Anne my sister-in-law from The Makings of a Baby Ostie awarded me with the Preppy Mafia award!  I am honored that you chose me Anne!  Thank you so much!

1. Who is your Style Icon?

Hm...this is a tough one because if you saw my style you wouldn't ask me about it because I need a lot of help in this area!!!!  I do like the way my sister-in-laws dress..they have a wonderful collection of clothes....they are classy, up-to-date and extremely stylish in my opinion...I would say they inspire me...I don't dress like any stars because I just cannot afford it so I do what I can!

2. What is your favorite Socialite Lit. Book?

I'm not an avid reader so I don't have an answer for this question.

3.Favorite party theme?

I love decorating for the holidays...I can't narrow it down because I love all of them!!!  Each one has their own style and colors that coordinate with it so it's hard to say....I do love Fall though!

4. Go-to Halloween costume

Nate & I have not been to a Halloween party together so I don't have one..but my little Nataleigh was a pumpkin this last year...she was so cute...here are a few pictures of what she looked like!

5. Extravagance you can't live without.

I love Victoria's Secret shampoo and conditioner!  They smell so good and make my hair shine!  I feel pretty when I use these products!  I don't spend much money on myself but I do treat myself to these two things!

6. Living person you admire.

I admire a bunch of people...other mothers for their hard work, my mom for raising my brother and I and more reasons than I can type!  My husband...he treats me so good and is such a hard worker at everything he puts his mind to!  My in-laws because they are a very close family and I am so happy to be apart of it!  My grandparents because they helped my mom out when she needed their help and were awesome to live so close to and Nick (my brother) he is very laid back and has a wonderful sense of humor.

7. Greatest Fear?

I am afraid that something will happen to my husband or to my baby, also that my parents would die without knowing God.

8. Traits you deplore in yourself.

Selfishness with my time and laziness

9. What talent would you most like to have?

I would love to be able to sing well.

10. What is your greatest achievement?

Being a mom is at the top, being a wife, getting my degree in radiology.
