Liebster!

I got the sweetest e-mail over the weekend from the sweetheart author of His Wife, Our Life nominated me for the Liebster Award!! It's my first one here at Little Hiney Home!!   The rules are simple. Once you've been nominated, write 11 facts about yourself and answer the questions from your nominator, then post your own questions for the blogs you're going to nominate. Notify the new blogs of their award and the fun keeps going! :)  

   

11 facts about me:

1. I started this blog thinking it'd be a husband wife blog, but I quickly found out it was my own little piece of internet, not ours. I don't really mind, though. 

2. I love my job mostly because I can go weeks without doing a single thing work related. shh. ;) That freedom, though, is getting old. I want to grow and move up and move on.
3. I'm a list maker. Seriously, everything has a list - the workday, camping trips we've been on 10000 times, shopping, coupons, etc.
4.  I have known my husband almost half of my whole life!
5.  I bought a beautiful Nikon D3100 back in February and have only used it a handful of times. I would love to take it somewhere fun or do something meaningful with it.  We do have a tripod, so I'm totally going to do our fall & Christmas card pictures with it
6.  My dream job as a child was to be a zoo keeper.
7.  I shop clearance before I go anywhere else; if I don't find anything cute in the clearance, I usually leave empty handed. 
8. I am a daddy's girl, even now that I'm married. I'll take a day hanging out with Dad over any day out shopping.
9. I have a younger sister. She and I are different in every way imaginable: Politics, religion, academics (we're both really smart, but studying isn't my everything.).  But I love and respect the beautiful woman she is becoming
10. I am a school supply geek, and can't wait to have school aged children.
11. I am the daughter of the King of kings, and I try to let that shine through daily. Most days, I fall short. Thank God for His grace.
 

   

Questions from my nominator:

1. What job would you do if you knew you would be successful? I have always said if money was no object, I'd be a marine biologist historian and go study the Titanic.

 

2. What is your favorite Sunday afternoon on TV movie? (The one you’ll always stop and watch when its on):  It's a tie between Stand By Me and Titanic and any of the Harry Potter movies!

 

3. Do you have any crazy irrational fears? Something you know shouldn’t scare you but it does. I don't think so. All of my fears are pretty legit: Spiders,  snakes, the like.

 

4. Dream vacation? I would love to take a summer long tour of Europe. Ireland, Scotland, Wales, the UK, etc.

 

5. Favorite month and why? November! It's my birth month and it is the start of Christmas preparation.

 

6. If you could live in any decade what would it be? the 50's, probably. I'm an old soul. Old old. They had all the good music, books, culture, etc. in my opinion. 

 

7. Why did you start your blog?  I started this blog as a fresh start. I had another blog that got me through college.  I felt that after getting married, it was time to revamp everything and close the old chapter.

 

8. Who’s your hero? My dad is my hero.  He has done so much in life, loved so many people, and done it all while raising me and my sister pretty much on his own.

 

9. Do you like your name? eh. It's okay.  I liked my pre-marriage name a lot, but I don't hate my married name. It just doesn't flow like my good southern yelling name - you know, the way it flows when you hear it all together because you're in trouble? ;) 

 

10. What accomplishment are you most proud of? Graduating with honors.  I went to a different college for my Freshman year and tanked.  I was too far from home, my boyfriend was close to home, I hated my major and the cliquey campus.  If you weren't greek, you were weak. Really.  I transferred to MTSU and found my niche. I made amazing friends and learned so much about life and myself.  I bounced back from a 2.2 GPA to a 3.7 GPA in 2.5 years!

 

11. If you could be any Disney princess who would you be? Aurora! Duh!
