Friends Award

I was given the FRIENDS Award from Raising My 4 Sons.

She is a great co-follower and I really enjoy her comments, our conversations through our blogs and her wonderful views on life and motherhood. Please go check out her blog. She's become a great blog friend. Thank you so much for sharing this award with me.

Here are the Rules to this Award...
*This award is bestowed on to blogs that are exceedingly charming.
*These kind bloggers aim to find and be friends.
*They are not interested in self-aggrandizement.
*Our hope is that when the ribbons of these prizes are cut, even more friendships are propagated. *Please give more attention to these writers.
*Deliver this award to other bloggers who must choose others to pass it on to and include this *Cleverly-written text into the body of their award.

I'm choosing the following blogs for different reasons. I would like to give the Friend's Award to the following Blogs:

• Just Nikke- Nikke was one of my first followers and is always there with a great comment or a word of encouragement. I love reading and following her blog and her great take on life! Please go meet her!
• My Own Brand Of Crazy- Gina is the reason that I began blogging. Her support and a big kick in the pants is why I'm here blogging today. Her friendship, on and off the blog, means more to me than she will ever know!! She has the most random unbelievable things happen in her family, to the point that you might wonder if they're true. THEY ARE!!!! You have to follow her blog to believe it.
  
• Kyslp at Stir Fry Awesomeness!  She always makes great comments and is so much fun. What can I say other than she is hilarious and you need to go over and read her blog. I love the way she crosses out what she's really thinking and puts down what she should say!!! Makes me laugh every time. She's become a good blog friend.

     forced to grow up next year.

4. I can't spell at all. Ask any of my friends. it's a running joke. I have mild dyslexia so I do have a
    reason for it but they still laugh at me. Meanies!!!! Then again when you see me spell the word
   " of" as "ove" you'd laugh too, that or think I was pathetic. I'll take laughter any day.

    and wrote 8 or 10 books. 
8. I love my husband more today than I did when I married him 28 years ago.
9. I am terrible at writing and sending cards to people. I need to get better at it. I really need to let some
    of my friends know how important they are to me and how much they mean to me.
10. I really like all of the bloggers that I have met here! You are all amazing people who are making a
      difference in so many other peoples' lives. Thank you for being transparent and sharing your
      wisdom and yourselves through your blogs.!!
