I Won an Award!!!

I love having new friends... Especially when those new friends seem to mirror my goals, loves, and life in general. Within these last few months, I have attained MANY new friends because of the different writing adventures we have been on together. And, today, one of them honored me!

Jennifer Young is someone I have never met in person (we literally live on opposite sides of the country!), but she and I seem to have a lot in common. I love reading her blog, Castles in the Sky and talking back and forth with her on various discussions. Well, today, she gave me the LEIBSTER AWARD!
                                                                 
The Liebster award is an award designed to bring traffic to bloggers with fewer than 200 followers (sheepishly, I am such a blogger :/).


As the lucky recipient of the Liebster award, I get to name five blogs with under 200 followers that I recommend you visit! I will share those with you further down the page. BUT, as a part of this award, I guess I also get to name five random things about myself. So, without further adieu...

5 Random Things about me

1. I cannot tolerate walking around in just socks.

2. I'd take popcorn over chocolate ANY day.

3. I only call them chones, undies, or underwear. The "P" word
grosses me out beyond all reason!

4. I want a pet elephant.

5. I wish I were from an Italian family.


Alrighty, and now to the bloggers who will receive the award from me! Please be sure to check them out, and follow them everywhere they go, er, BLOG! Thanks again, Jennifer. You boosted my spirits!!


 Congrats to you, ladies! Now pass this along!!

      Thanks, Eric! I was trying to put your name on there, but I couldn't see how many followers you had. I figured it's probably because you have so many, the number wouldn't even register! haha

    Thanks so much for awarding me with the Liebster award, Bethany! I'll respond and pass it on over the weekend, okay? Thanks again.

    (A pet elephant would be cool... I think I'd like a giraffe. He could reach all the stuff that I can't.)

      If you had a giraffe, and I had an elephant, I feel like the four of us could be friends forever!!

      Congrats on your award. You deserve it!!
