I want to move to Indiana.

I've been meaning to post about these gals for a week or so, but this week has been crazy busy and I hadn't gotten to it.  And then, they went and spoiled it all by giving me an award!

Technically, I got the award from Whitney at Life's a Highway and Mine's Surrounded by Corn, Heather at 3 Kids and Lots of Pigs, and Leah at Beyer Beware. But there are a few others that I feel are part of the group who has "adopted" me.

It all started with Cris at GOODEness Gracious.  For some reason, she was one of my first followers, and always left the sweetest comments.  So I began following her.  I found out she works in agriculture, and knows all these other women involved in ag, too.  I am new to the agriculture arena, and I have a couple of women in real life that I consider mentors when it comes to farm life, but my new bloggy friends have really filled a void in my life!  It is SO nice to have other women who understand what it's like to have a farmer husband, young children, and the issues that farmers are facing today.   Oh, and apparently they all live in Indiana and know each other in real life.  I'm jealous.

So anyway, some of them gave me this award.  And now I get to pass it on.  Only, the gals I'd like to pass it to are the ones who gave it to me.  And I've given the Sunshine Award to a bunch of my other favorites already.

AND THEN – I got a versatile blogger award from Meg at A Little Knick Knack, too!  I’m so flattered! I mean, she has over 200 followers and a TON of great home and kid projects!

So now, here are 7 things about me:

1.  I am the oldest child and I totally have the typical first-born personality.  Yeah, I'm bossy.

2.  I totally love my students.  Each and every one of them.  For serious.

3.  I wish I were a better photographer.  I'm trying to learn new things in my free time. 

4.  I want to get my masters and I think it would be totally AWESOME to get my Ph. D. someday.

5.  My BFF lives in Ohio and I miss her a lot.

6.  I want to be comfortable using power tools, but I'm kind of scared of them, and I can never remember how to use them.

7.  I like to drink coffee every morning, and I like it to taste like candy.

 

And now, 15 bloggers to pass it on to…since I can’t come up with 15 that haven’t yet received the reward, I’m linking up to some that I know already have.  If you have received it and passed it on already, DO NOT feel like you have to do it again.  A nice “thank you” will be enough. :)
