I'm not often referred to as stylish - especially when I like to show off new found talent such as this; or sport things like this; or chase after my dogs through the pasture wearing strange apparel. Considering all that, I couldn't pass up the opportunity to show off this shiny award:


Apparently once awarded, there are responsibilities to perform:
- Thank and link back to the person who passed along the award
- Share 7 random things about yourself
- Award 15 recently discovered great bloggers
- Contact these bloggers and tell them about the award
I'm not feeling very responsible today. Therefore, I am going to follow suit with Kari and The SoCal Bowhunter and only perform duties 1 & 2.
First Duty - A big thank you to Glynn at A Reel Lady and LB at Bullets and Biscuits for sharing the award.
Second Duty - Seven random things about me:
- I love rivers and lakes, but the ocean not so much.
- One of my most embarrassing moments was falling asleep in the aisle of a bus during a tour through Europe. I think I was in Italy?? Anyway, apparently the bus aisle is not a good place to sleep since the fumes will really knock you out. I awoke to everyone trying to wake me up. They were concerned because I wouldn't wake up. Sheesh! I was tired. I was drooling. It was embarrassing.
- I missed a 6x7 bull elk at 5 yards. You read that correctly. (I did bury an arrow into a pine tree and also managed to stay scent-free if you know what I mean.)
- I hate belly button lint. It's gross. End of story.
- I like to sew just about anything but clothes. I won a fancy sewing machine when I was 19 for a quilt I made. And I completely redecorated our old camper which included camouflage curtains.
- I believe that life is so precious and a gift from God. I am privileged to work for a non-profit ministry that is passionate for the unborn. Check out This Story on the difference a commercial made in a young mom's life and her precious baby girl.
- I had my appendix removed when I was 7 and was scared to speak after the surgery. My best friend made me laugh by looking at my scar and saying, "ohhh... GROSS!"
- I'm breaking the rules and listing an eighth random fact. I was having a hard time coming up with 7. So, I sent this text to my husband... "If you could list one random thing about me what would it be?" His reply.... "Hot & sexy." I love my man.
Congrats on your reward! It is funny how all of us are connected, as alomst every bog I read has been honored with this award this week. I'm not as good as you are though. I have been tagged three times and have yet to fulfill my duties! I hope everyone will just forgive me
ReplyDeleteGreat post Emily and I love these get to know each other posts! It's so fun to learn more about the person behind the blog.
ReplyDeleteWhat a heart breaker with that bull but I totally see how it could happen. I think if I was that close, I couldn't have stayed "scent free" (or standing upright for that matter!)
I love sewing anything but clothes too...it makes me feel Amish or something, and you have to be too precise.
ReplyDeleteAnd yeah, belly button lint is the freak nasty. I will never understand it....and toe jam
Congrats! Great getting to know you better, Emily! I love #6. Good stuff right there. And missing an elk at 5 yards... I can't poke fun... I missed a whitetail at 3 yards when I was first starting out. (It still haunts me!)
ReplyDeleteyou fall asleep in a vehical? not so. you fact about you that you did not put in your blog is your big heart and your ability to keep your cool. and you do fall asleep in anything that moves more then 5 minuites, but a pillow is not as important when you need to sleep..
