The Liebster Award

I have been nominated for this award several times over the last couple of years! How funny is that I was nominated twice over a 24 hour period?  I can not thank Becka and Ashley enough. It is such a huge compliment that they like my blog and want to share it. But now that I am over 200 followers this should be my final Liebster post. I promise! So since I was nominated twice I am going to to this a little different.

First of all we will no my 11 facts about me!
1. Most of you already know this, but I am an organization freak! I could spend hours in Staples and walk out happier than a clam with nothing but pens, highlighters, and paper!
2. I have recently joined a gym and am kicking my ass into shape! I want to be proud of what I see in the mirror this upcoming spring!
3. I can't stand lazy people! There is having a lazy day, which we all should get once in a while, and then there is just down right lazy!
4. I am terrified for my first winter up here! I almost refuse to even attempt to drive in the snow when it falls!
5. I share a house with my MIL and can not wait until the that magical day next year when we live separately again!
6. I love cooking! Only now I am not supposed to be eating most of the things I was the nest at cooking! I am on the search for new recipes!
7. I get blogger envy. Only not in the way that most of you are thinking. I get envious that I can;t always think of something to post like I used to.
8. When I am in a blogging funk I get the urge to redesign my blog! In fact I am in the process of making one on the side of my orders that I have.
9. I am a blog designer and even though I started it as a hobby hoping to make a little money on the side, it has become a full time job and I am able to help support my family with it. Thank you so much to you all for supporting me in that aspect of my life!
10. I am a shopaholic on strike! I LOVE SHOPPING and am dying to buy myself a ton of clothes any time there is excess money in my account. But I refuse to buy one more item until I have lost a little more weight!
11. Most of my best friends are some of the amazing ladies that I have met through blogging! Anyone who tells me they aren't real friends can kiss my ass! These women have been there for me in ways none of my "real-life" friends never were.

Now I will answer the questions I was asked by the fabulous ladies who nominated me!
Becka didn't ask any questions so this part will be short! :-)

Ashley asked:
1. Do you prefer hand written notes, emails, or texts?
I am all about technology. But sometimes a hand written note is the most amazing thing and it is something to can keep and cherish forever!
2. One beauty product you couldn't live without.
I would say my blow dryer. My hair just doesn't look right if I don't blow it dry!
3. Favorite date night idea.
Honestly because we RARELY get to go on dates anything sounds amazing! This summer we went to play miniature golf and went and had a drink and it was such a great night. We also have a movie theater down the street and walked to it on a nice night and saw our first movie in years. I love any date!
4. What is your favorite restaurant?
I'm really not sure what my favorite restaurant is up here yet. But back in Georgia it was Zaxby's and Kani House.
5. What are you most looking forward to in 2013?
Making my goal in fitness.
6. Are you a spender or a saver?
I am a spender for sure. But I like to make sure I have it to spend without sacrificing anything first.
7. What is your favorite vacation spot?
Anywhere with a beach! There is nothing like going out to play in the sun all day with the wind in your hair and the sand between your toes!
8. Where is a place you would like to travel?
I have always dreamed of going to Italy, but Hawaii would be amazing too!
9. Do you want more children? If so, how many?
I go back and forth on this. Sometimes I look at Sydney and I think my family is perfect just how it is. Then others I think she might really enjoy having someone to play with.
10. What is a book you consider a must read.
I'll be honest. I don't do a whole lot of reading lately so I'm not sure.
11. What is your favorite NFL team? Favorite college team? Favorite Player?
I honestly am not big on football. But in my house we cheer for the Packers and the Badgers. I like Clay Matthews from the Packers and from the badgers I love their Mascot... Bucky the Badger!
