Award

Darcie over at Life's Unfolding Story nominated me for this award. While it I hardly feel like my blog is 'Over-the-Top', it is an honor to be chosen.

Here are the Rules:
Use only one word answer the questions, pass along to six favorite bloggers, and tell 'em you did so.

1. Where is your cell phone? counter
2. Your hair? up
3. Your mother? friend
4. Your father? thoughtful
5. Your favorite food? Mexican
6. Your dream last night? none
7. Your favorite drink? raspberrylemonade
8. Your dream/goal? balance
9. What room are you in? livingroom
10. Your hobby? blogging
11. Your fear? losing family
12. Where do you want to be in six years? settled
13. Where were you last night? 'home' (in TN)
14. Something that you aren't? skinny
15. Muffins? blueberry
16. Wish list item? laptop
17. Where did you grow up? WI

18. Last thing you did? clean
19. What are you wearing? sweater

32. Your best friend?(s) hubby
33. One place that I could go over and over? west
34. One person who emails you regularly? Melissa
35. Favorite place to eat? Texas Roadhouse

Now here is where I'm suppose to pass this on to 6 more bloggers. Darcie said it was hard. She wasn't kidding. I feel all the blogs I follow are 'over-the-top'. There was no way I could pick just 6. I really tried to pick 6, but I every time I came up with my list of 6, I'd see someone else's name...and then I'd have 7, 10 or 12.

So, I'm changing the 'rules'. Instead of picking 6, if you're name is on my blogroll... GRAB THIS AWARD and pass it on!

Moments that won't last forever

Home Away From Home

For much more pictures of the house, check out my facebook page. If you're not on facebook.. let me know, I'll send you the link.View from the drivewayBackyard...

equipped with a horse barn, corral and plenty of pasture for our livestock kids to run
The bitter cold weather that hit everyone back home, found it's way down here by us. Granted it's 20 ABOVE zero.. but to these southern folks it might as well be -20. Other than being abnormally cold, we're enjoying our time. We've been acquainted with 'southern hospitality' and a number of great folks.
All too soon, we'll be heading back into the Frozen Tundra. Which we are looking forward to. But you can bet, we'll be counting the days until we can come back for some more southern hospitality.

Happy Birthday Aunt Tanya!
