Sarah over at Life As Always gave me a blog award, isn't she sweet? Feast your eyes on this:

I am so thankful to have such sweet blog friends and I happy to accept and participate.

The Rules:

1. Thank the one that nominated you. THANK YOU SARAH!!!!!
2. Put up the picture for the One Lovely Blog Award. {done}
3. Tell everyone seven things about yourself. 
4. Nominate seven other people and tell them you have nominated them!

7 Things About Me:

1. I just finished applying for a post-master's program. I am waiting to see if I am accepted. This would be my third college degree and I am only 28.
2. I have been with my husband since I was 17, we dated throughout senior year and then became an exclusive couple towards the end of that school year, So while I am 28 I have been dating him for 11 years basically.
3. I have the world's best dachshund with kids. They are known to dislike children and mine LOVES them. She loves everyone!
4. I grew up with a stay-at-home dad so I love sports more than most men, play poker, fantasy football and I love to gamble. I tend to get along with groups of guys just as well as groups of girls. Some girls find my easy friendships with men threatening but they are just natural to me, we have common interests.
5. I have a science-based mind, I have to see it to believe it. I need proof.
6. I am very giving, I will bend over backwards for the people I care about and do anything. I tend to get let down because this isn't how a lot of people are and so I don't get the same level of commitment in return.
7. Before turning 28 I had already been through 8 clomid cycles, 7 IUIs and 5 IVFs trying to build our family.

And the awards go to.......

1. Kerry @ Till Then Smile Often

3. Jessica @ The Odell Yodel
4. Samantha @ Hooah & Hiccups

I would normally give awards to Jamie @ You Gotta Have Hart, Jodi @ Love & Crayons, and Jenni @ Flying on a Rainbow but they already received the award so I figured that I couldn't. Love you girls!

As for the girls that I awarded, I cannot wait to read 7 more things about you!!!!
