I got my very first blog award!  Thanks Gidget!  According to her, I'm a gorgeous blogger!  It's kind of funny, because I'm definitely not feeling gorgeous right now.  But then again, God has a sense of humor like that.  He didn't wait until I'd lost the baby weight and then some or until I don't have big dark circles under my eyes.  Nope, He thinks I'm gorgeous even when I think I look like the Great Pumpkin's ugly cousin!   I guess He'd know.

Well the rules for this award are that I have to list 6 things you all probably don't know about me and pick 6 other people to pass it along to.

So here goes:

1.  I've been eating Fruit Loops like there's no tomorrow.  (I don't usually eat junk cereal, but one day I smelled Fruit Loops out of nowhere.  I couldn't resist.  At least now they have fiber added.  )

2.  When I graduated from high school, everyone thought I was going to end up as some high powered corporate something or other.  MANNNN, would they be surprised!  (BTW, this is MUCH better!)

3.  I've only been a Christian since January 1999.  Before that, I believed in God but wasn't sure about that "whole Jesus thing."  Before that, I was a "secular humanist" because that's what my Dad called himself, and before that, I said I was a Christian because we had presents at Christmas and ate candy on Easter.  Looking back, I see that God had been waiting for me the whole time.

4.  I don't have a favorite food, color, song, movie, etc.  It all depends on the situation.  This is very frustrating to the men in my life who are continually trying to figure me out (insert evil chuckle ).

5.  I get a perverse pleasure from organizing messy spaces, but I'm horrible at maintaining them.  I also tend to procrastinate getting in there to do said organizing, but once I'm in there, I'm like a maniac! 

6.  I haven't seen the ocean in over 9 years, and I miss it intensely!  My favorite part is the salty smell.  In the interest of full disclosure, I did live in Western Washington for 2 years within that time frame, but that was the Puget Sound and a faint glimpse of the Pacific in the distance.  It also didn't smell like salt; it smelled like rotting kelp.  In my mind, that just doesn't count.  Sorry.

Now it's time to name some other gorgeous bloggers.  This is tricky because many of the people on my friend list have bid goodbye to the blogiverse for now, or forever.  Here's my best shot:

1. OldSchoolMarm

2. Sixfolks

3. ilovemy3angelbabies

4. Kristenph

5. Melissa (because she was the next mom my random button led me to)

6. And the lovely lady over at Growing Pains because I love the list she posted in August, and it sounds like she's probably not feeling very gorgeous.

So there it is.  Thanks again!  Gorgeous huh?  Hmm

I AM GORGEOUS because I am fearfully and WONDERFULLY made. And God don't make no mistakes!! :> )

Thank you, sweet Jennifer, for this lovely honor! I wasn't feeling to GORGEOUS the other day when a friend of mine insulted me on facebook. I had put up my status as "Having a hot cup of coffee and pumpkin crunch for dinner BECAUSE I CAN. I said I was going to be a "Happy Fatty" and enjoy my dinner. He said, "Laura, you're large, not fat!" Hmmm.....Is there a difference? Well at least that night to me, there wasn't.

God bless my sweet husband, Skippy. He came to my rescue.......WOOT WOOT!! Ok, I have to show you what he wrote.....wait...you have to read this....I cried!

"How's about we not talk about how my wife looks on Facebook. She is as perfect as a human can be in my eyes and mine are the only ones that matter this side of heaven. Go eat your pumpkin crunch sweetie. Love you!"

OMGoodness......is that not "S W E E T ? " Mmm.....I just LOVE my Skippy man! :> )

So, has this special award come at the perfect time? YOU BETTER BELIEVE IT! lol

Thank you so very much, sweet Jennifer. I will wear this with honor!

Blessings~
