Blog Award - The Versatile Blogger

I received an award!

Step 1 You have to thank the person who gave you the award.

Thank you to Deanna at "Being a Mother Who Knows".

Step 2 - I have to tell you 7 things about myself. I did a few of these a long time ago when I first started blogging, but I think I've changed a bit, so here goes!

1. I am still addicted to Dr. Pepper, but I am down to two 12 oz. cans a day (down from two 32 oz. refills a day). I know I need to get off soda and how bad it is for my health Thank you to all those who remind me of this often (even if I KNOW already).
2. I love, love, love my family! I have the most awesome kids and husband. If you read my blog at all you already know that, but I had to say it again. :-)
3. I have lived in 4 states - Arizona, Texas, California, and Missouri. We moved a lot when I was young. I think I've moved 28 times in 40 years. I'm finally getting tired of moving.
4. I used to be an excellent Roller Blader. I even jumped barrels and things back before I had kids.
5. I've colored my hair since I was 19 and have had grey hair since I was 17. I remember being at Young Women's camp and having leaders point out that I had more grey hair than they did. Nice.
6. I have a need for speed. I used to drive my Grandpa's '72 Ford Pickup as fast as it could go from my parents house to Saguaro Lake. I could make it in 10 minutes...yea...that was smart. Thank goodness I didn't kill myself. (Note to my children: DO NOT DO THIS!)
7. I am a wanna-be web designer...I just am no good at programming! Grr!

Step 3 is to pass this along to blogs I love.

Since "Being a Mother Who Knows" already has one, here are the other blogs that inspire me.

• Old Fashioned Motherhood
• In the TJED Trenches (even though I write for this blog, the other authors are fantastic!)
• Ramblings of a TJED Mom
• The Sharp Family
