Liebster Award

I was nominated by Ashley from Girl Talk for the Liebster Award! Head on over to her super cute blog and say hello! Thank you so much for the nomination!

There are several new followers on my little corner of the .com world, as well as long time thank you so much for sticking around for our little journey thru life, so thought this would be fun to do and give everyone more of a chance to learn more about me!

1/

Do you prefer your hair to be short or long? Curly or straight?

I am really loving my hair long right now and my new favorite way to wear it is curled with my wand. The curls stay better and last longer.

Shane just asked me the other day when I was going to cut my hair off... he really likes a bob but I'm not ready for the chop yet.

2/

What is the most ridiculous item you have ever bought?

This Enzo Milano finger wave wand.. I went crazy at a hair show several years ago and I don't even know if I have used it. Ugh.

3/

Do you prefer sweet or salty treats?

SWEET hands down! I cannot stand salt.. I don't cook with it or add it to my food. Every once in a blue moon I want Salt and Vinegar chips but I can only eat a few.

4/ 

What is your favorite season?

I really love the spring when its just the right temp to be outside and when everything is bright and colorful and blooming. And of course I love summer because that means beach time!

5/

What is your favorite sport to play and what is your favorite sport to watch?

The only sport I played in high school was softball and I really enjoyed it once I got started good. I didn't start playing until later on, so I was a little behind but with the help of camps I did get better. I played on a church team, and THAT was fun!

Football was my #1 fave to watch but with us being in baseball it's coming to #1 fast! 

Gymnastics is a fave too!

6/

Do you have any daily jewels you wear everyday? If so, what are they?

My wedding bands and lately by go to earrings have been some sort of diamond studs. Diamonds are my favorite.

7/

Do you prefer to call or text someone? Or nowadays... Snapchat them?

I mostly text because I am beginning to despise being on the phone. At work, texts from clients are convenient because I can get back with them in between clients faster.

Don't really understand the Snapchat thing and I really don't need one more social media app taking up my time.

8/

Why did you start blogging?

A friend encouraged me to do so as a way to document our engagement and wedding. It was a great way for family to keep up with everything and now it's been great for pregnancy updates! I've enjoyed journaling everything in between, meeting new people, and I'll love having this to look back on!

9/

What is the longest car ride you have ever been on?

OMG I think when my Mom and I were coming back from Cape San Blas a few years ago.. it seemed like forever trying to get home.

10/

Who is your favorite singer or band?

I love me some Miranda! This is hard tho because I love all kinds of genres.. right now, Jimi Hendrix hasn't left my CD player in my car. I'm one of those people that can get stuck on one singer/band for awhile.

Lauren from Peach State of Mind has nominated me for the Liebster Award! I hope you head on over and check out her blog.. You will absolutely love it! It is super cute and I can't wait to see more about her wedding. And she is from Georgia as well and we found out we are not too far from each other. 

Thank you so much for the nomination!

Here are the deets::

The Liebster Award is a way for bloggers to celebrate other bloggers. It's passed down from one blogger to another, as long as the blogger has less than 200 followers. If you choose to accept the nomination, here are a few rules to follow:

1.  Answer the questions from the person who nominated you.

2. List 10 facts about yourself.

3. Create 10 new questions.

4. Nominate 5-10 bloggers with less than 200 followers.

1. If you were a crayon, what color would you be? [Hey, it's the teacher in me.]

I would be the color Red. It is my FAVE color. There are red accents all around our house and we even have a red dining room. Love, love, love. 

2. What is your favorite smell?

I LOVE the smell of coffee. I could sit in Starbuck's all day just to smell the aroma. And the smell of fresh color on my hair. 

3. What is the farthest you've been from home?

Jamaica.. Coach and I were on our Honeymoon and it was also the first time out of the country for me. 

4. Do you have a special talent? If so, what is it?

I will have to say being a hair stylist. You can't do this for the money alone. This passion and knack has to come from within. If it does, you will never work a day in your life. And there is nothing more rewarding than to wheel your client around, her look in the mirror, and her face light up because she loves the reflection in the mirror.

5. Who is your best friend? How did y'all meet?

Amber!!

She moved to J-town, ended up in my chair for a hair appointment, began our appointment with "So I know somebody that you know", that "somebody" ended up being my husband BTW, and the rest is history. Once there was a WE WERE ON A BREEEEAAAAKKK moment but that is long said and gone this no longer 'mutual friend' caused some drama, and in two weeks we are headed to Big Canoe for a girls weekend! Whoop whoop! SOO EXCITED about that one! 

And, I can't leave out my husband.. 

He is the peanut to my butter, the milk to my Oreos, the bubbles to my bath, the shake to my bake, the flip to my flop, the color to my brush, the beat to my heart, the ball to my glove... well, you get the point. 

I sure do love him.

6. Do you have any pets?

Yes! We have three pups.. the 3 Amigos.. Sox, Mara, & Kyli.

I already had Kyli minpin, Coach had Sox Saint Bernard mix, and I found Mara bassett hound/lab mix in the middle of the road when we were dating. I had very good intentions of finding Mara a great home but by the time people had started inquiring about her, I had bought her her own food bowls, a collar, and had given her a name. By then I was ready to take adoption applications, schedule interviews and home inspections. HA! 

You can read more about them in this post.

And I have a horse, Trio:

This sweet boy has come such a long way!!

7. What is your favorite sport to watch?

My number one sport is football - GO DAWGS!!- but since my husband is baseball, baseball, baseball I will have to say that we watch MLB constantly. In the beginning of the season I don't mind it because I want to know stats, etc and surprise him with MAYBE something he hasn't heard but by the end of the season I am O.V.A. it. 

8. What is your favorite fashion accessory right now?

During the winter, scarves, scarves, and MORE scarves. I feel naked without one!

9. Why did you start blogging?

My friend, Danielle, 

2012

encouraged me to start to document mine and Coach's life and our engagement/wedding journey. I am so glad I did! I love looking back on all our moments and it also was a way to keep our families updated along the way. 

10. If you could give one piece of blogging advice, what would it be?

I learned this early on in the blogging world. If you have are a noreply-comment blogger and you leave me a comment, I CANNOT RESPOND to you! And this frustrates me because I WANT to be able to respond to your sweet comments. I have noticed that if I look at my comments from my phone it gives me a 'reply' option to respond to you that way.. but I am not sure if you get a notification? Maybe there is a personal reason why you have this setting the way you do, or maybe I am missing something in this blogging world and if I am please correct me but just know that I would love to know you are getting my responses. You can also change this under your settings.
