5 (or 8) Awesome Bloggers Who Qualify for This Major Award!
1. Sage Service: My sister, my hero! I love her for her heart of gold and love of serving others before herself. She is true honesty in the flesh and giving as the day is long. If you don't love her you don't know her! She has taught me so much in my life and been there for me doing things no one else will do for me. She has overcome more than anyone (other than Steve) will ever know in her life, how can you not be inspired by that??!
2. Beth Ann (BA): My husband's cousin's wife *whew* the funnest blog around! From politics to kiddy kandids we see eye to eye. There is something updated like everyday and she keeps me in the know while keeping my sides in stitches! She is so thoughtful & really cares about her family which I'm thankful to be a part of!
3. Niki Dopp: My cousin, the most loving person around! She'd give you the shirt off her back! I feel like saying this in a non-sarcastic way but she is Mary Poppins to me... practically perfect in every way! For real, and she'd kill me for saying that because she'd tell you other wise (but don't believe it. ) I should know, we went went to high school together! No one can keep secrets in high school!
4. Jen Scott: I admire her from my little corner and I just love her more than anyone could ever know! She is so hilarious and down to earth! Her husband and children are wonderful and kind! I am always amazed by the strength of the spirit around all of her family and I mean that. She is so special to me! *hugs*
5. Holly Butler: My sister, She is a wonderful mom who makes things happen! She's a mover and shaker! She always is there to help me with babysitting! 2 of her friends have been recently baptised. She loves and cares so much for the family, she wants the TV off when you visit so real visiting can happen! I just love her!
6. Sheri Kersey: My goodness! I'm so busy that I can only say hi and bye in passing!! I Love her blog and I hope we can go camping together sometime!! I'm so glad she didn't move!! I seriously wish we were related because her family knows how to have family fun! She is so funny and her kids are so wonderful! Her daughter Kate, is such an easy kid, well behaved, sweet and happy...I need to know the secret here...
7. Natalie Evans: Ok who doesn't know her, She knows everyone! And guess what, everyone loves her. So apparently I'm a groupie and I'm ok with that! She is so sweet and thoughtful! She is going to be an RS president someday, easy. When I think of her I think of the thirteenth Article of faith where its says if there is anything virtuous, lovely, of good report or praiseworthy 'she' seeks after these things!
8. Trisha Wright: My sister! She is so talented and helpful. She teaches kids piano and hopes to have kids soon. She loves her chickens and always has good ideas! She is SUPER devoted to church and always chooses the "Wright" way! I can always count on her to just talk with me and laugh about the old days when we tried to kill each other!

Roseanne! You were definitely misinformed. Mary Poppins? Haha. You're lucky you didn't go to college with me. Just kidding. Thanks for the sweet compliment.

I'm not so sure about the TRanslated part but I'll accept the compliment anyway. Just so you know Cameron is not adopted we had to do invetro (ouch $$$) to get him , but he is 100% biologically ours I have the streach marks to prove it. We are hoping to adopt now though, we've had our paper work with LDS for over a year and are just waiting for some amazing woman to place her child in our home.

Roseanne, you are so kind to give me an award!!! And now I have to pick only a handful of people to give it to?! How???

Seriously, though, I really appreciate your kind and heartfelt words! They mean way more to me right now than you could ever imagine. You made my day and made me smile so big. And then cry a little, too. Leave it up to me to drop tears!!!

I look up to you so much and have always thought how NICE YOU ARE! You made my heart happy and made me feel very humble for picking me. Thank you, girl!

Roseanne! I am so surprised and flattered and touched that you picked me for this award! Thank you for all the nice things you said about me. :-) I totally don't deserve any of that! I think YOU are the kindest person I know. (Okay it's a tie between you, your mom and your sister Trisha. :-) Now who am I going to pick? Do the rules say anything about picking the person who picked you??? :-)
