So, without further ado...

So here are the rules:
1. When given the award you write about the seven things that you love
2. Pass the award to 7 bloggers that you love, and be sure to tag them and let them know they've won. (You can copy the picture of the award and paste it on your sideboard.)
Seven things that I love:
1. Nutella. See previous post.
2. SEC football. Seriously, how else is Thanksgiving weekend always an excuse to yell and scream at each other over a game?
3. Jon Corbett. This stems from my serious, if repressed, obsession with Northern Exposure. Maybe it's cause the heroine is named for me (:)) or maybe it's cause Galon and I both dream of life in the great white north, but dude. They just don't make good TV shows like that one anymore.
4. The song from the Muppets: Rainbow Connection. Not gonna analyze, but Sarah Mc. has a lovely version.
5. When it rains mud in West Texas. Really. Very cool apocalypse now effect.
6. Visiting or traveling to new places or places I've been before- can't wait to go back to Terrace Bay, Paris, Sugarbush Farm and Joliet before I die.
7. My family and friends. Course, this list isn't in order of importance, so while I may struggle daily with balancing the duties (I said dooty:) of being a wife, mommy, daughter, advocate and believer, so far it's all worked out in the end. How it does is a mystery, but it does.
Now I give this award to seven friends and bloggers.(this means you get to put this cute little award on your blog so don't let me down by not participating and passing it along.)
I give the award to:
1. Kristen Berry - not only do you manage to blog about your beautiful family well, but you also sew, video and travel nicely.
2. Laura who does a neato job with backgrounds and by far the funniest posts that are true.
3. Megan Newberry, who just had a baby boy so is officially exempt from the craziness of this silly thing, but has some of the most thought provoking passages ever on her blog.
4. Christen Causey and family, who although we weren't super close, has an AU tie with me and now two precious little girls.
5. Reid, who exhibits her photography skills and good sense of humor with her regular posts and reminds me that it is possible to balance our kind of work and mommyhood.
6. Kevin and Malerie - because they are both talented folks who remind me what fun it is to be young.
7. Our Montana buddy Jill, because who else gets the phrase "prayer partner" and "totonka" like you? And you share my disdain for Comic Sans. War Eagle!
