Beautiful Blogger Award

Jenny, from Home Is Where You Start From blog gave me this Beautiful Blogger award.


So sweet!  Thank you :)
Jenny is my new blog-friend.  She's a home schooling Mama with 4 gorgeous children. I'm amazed at all those incredible home schooling mom's the Lord is placing in my path!  Did I mention she lives in California?

okay, now that I have this award...here are the rules:

-Thank the person who nominated you for this award.
-Copy the award & place it on your blog.
-Link to the person who nominated you for this award.
-Tell us 7 interesting things about yourself.
-Nominate 7 bloggers.
-Post links to the 7 blogs you nominate.

 
7 interesting things about me...

1.) I went skydiving back in college... on a dare. 

2.) I worked in an oil refinery in South Louisiana for 2 years as a Project Engineer.  Granted, the Nomex overalls didn't fit so I had to roll them up and the ponytail sticking out from under the hard hat made me a HUGE target... but it was fun!

3.) My senior year of college, I kept a blanket and slippers at the Engineering School.  The building was freezing so I use to put my slippers on after class and wander the halls wrapped in my purple blanket :)  I like to think I scared a few prospective students out of an engineering degree.

4.) I've waded through the flooded streets of New Orleans barefoot and wearing a dress to get to my car.  The water was up to my knees... love those Southern Storms! The storm cells kept coming and I didn't want to stick around for the flooding to get any worse. 

5.) We thought my one cat (Blue) was a boy... until I took her to get neutered.  Oops!

6.) When I was in the Navy and working in Norfolk, the base maintenance guys nicknamed me "Bull Dog Jr."... Sr. was a retired Marine and they thought I was enough like him to get the title.  LOL!  Even put a Bull Dog sticker on the back of my hardhat :)

7.) My husband (who was my fiance at the time) and I went for a date on the beach a few weeks before the wedding.  They locked the parking lot gate and after trying for an hour to escape we gave up and slept on the beach. 

Now... who to nominate.  I have some great blogs I follow... but I'm wondering who will actually follow through.  We'll see :)
