these are just a few pics from our trip to utah a couple weeks ago. this last shot is proof that parker throws fits so rarely, that even grandma can't help but smile at that cute little chubby, crying face.
a good life gets awarded... woohoo!
ladii aponte from "through my eyes" has given us the "versatile blogger" award. yeah-er.
but there are rules to accepting this award, & today i'm going to follow the rules. just this once. i know, i'm such a blogging rebel.
here are the rules:
- thank and link back to the person who gave you the award... check.
- share 7 things about yourself... k, will do.
- pass the award along to 15 other bloggers who you recently discovered and think are fabulous... hmmm, let's do 5.
- contact the bloggers you chose and let them know about the award.... ok.
1. i was born & raised in the seattle washington area, but now my whole family lives in utah. i'm the only one from my family still here & i miss them all greatly!
2. i will put off & put off a work out all day, but then when i finally do it, i feel so so good that i'm like, dang, i need to not put that off next time! & then i do.
3. sometimes i let my eyebrows grow out just because i like tweezing big clumps of hair at a time. ew, that sounds gross. no, actually, i don't let them grow out just for that reason, i just find that i can't always do it as much as i should & thus i tweeze big clumps at a time & i get a strange satisfaction out of that. weird, i know. moving on.
4. i once decided to go without eating sweets/candy/sugary treats/ice cream for months & months. i didn't even eat birthday cake on my birthday that year. i lost lots of weight & looked the best i ever had. i have since decided that a life without those things every now & then isn't worth living, no matter how good you look.
5. i now live by the motto "moderation in all things, including moderation." thanks for that one, buddha.
6. back in college, i may or may not have
7. i love animals. i have loved little squirmy, fuzzy things since the day i was born. i majored in wildlife ecology at washington state university & wanted to be a wildlife biologist. i graduated & got a job for the forest service studying flying squirrels in the olympic national forest. i hated being away from my home & husband & am now much happier working a desk job & going to the zoo on the weekends. lame, right?
& now for five other bloggers who's blogs i heart:
1. the chronicles of corbin
2. our precious jas
3. harvesting kale
4. here comes the sun
5. the mccain family
we are so close to the top fifty i can taste it... it tastes like powdered sugar. it's delicious. vote. vote. vote.
