Eleven Things: Were You Tagged?!

I'm finally doing my eleven things post that I have been repeatedly tagged in and repeatedly too lazy to do. I'm excited though! So first off I want to thank ALL of the lovely ladies who tagged me! {If I forgot anyone PLEASE let me know and I will add you!}

Mary of Mary Plus Vince

Cassie of Ben & Cassie

Kristina of The Streeters Unlimited

Jordan of a little bit of lillybit

Not technically the eleven things post but I was also tagged by:

Sandy of Twelve Makes a Dozen 

Eleven Things:

1. I really enjoy writing things down on paper. I have to have a cool pen to write with though otherwise it's not quite so fun. When I get bored in my classes I write journal entries or more recently I have been working on answering random questions about myself as a little bit of self-reflection. 
2. I am not very good at making girl friends. My sisters/sisters-in-law/mom are my best friends. This might be a bad thing when I don't live close enough to visit all of them often. 
3. I do not like to cry in front of anyone other than Race. Occasionally I'll cry in front of other family members but not very often. 
4. I am a really slow unpacker. It takes me months to get settled into a new place. I was doing really good this time around until I realized that we might be moving again this summer. I don't want to finish unpacking if we'll be packing it all up in a couple of weeks! 
5. I really like typing. I play typing games for fun and do typing tests {to see how fast I type} for fun and I honestly love it when I get compliments on my fast typing. Haha. I'm probably not even that fast of a typist but all the maintenance guys at my work are impressed by it so I feel really cool! 
6. I love taking pictures of my baby bump. And I love posting them everywhere{blog, Facebook, Instagram}. I hope it doesn't bother all my social network friends. 
7. I sit at home with my shirt pulled up and stare at my belly for hours at a time. I'm lazy and my baby is a cool kicker. {I take videos sometimes too but I don't know if people would be offended by my bare belly}.
8. I call my mom pretty much every day. Sometimes multiple times a day. Is this normal?? I don't much care if it isn't because I like talking to my mom but I still wonder. 
9. Sometimes I wish that I hadn't gone to college but had gone to beauty school instead. I still wouldn't mind going to beauty school someday. 
10. I am graduating in less than a month. I didn't walk at my high school graduation so I'm really hoping I don't fall on my face or do something really dumb when I walk at my college graduation. Any walking tips? Haha. 
11. I lose my keys/phone/wallet all the time. It drives Race crazy. It's gotten worse since I got pregnant. Haha. 

Well there are my eleven things FINALLY! Thanks again to everyone who tagged me! Now it's your turn to answer away! I'm going to be a bad blogger and not specifically tag anyone but I want anyone and everyone to do this and send me a link! Even if you did it a while ago you should send me a link so that I can read it! :] Have a happy weekend everyone! 

And before I go--here's a baby bump picture!

Random BlogWorld Stuffs

I am fairly new to the world of blogging. I started my blog a while ago but I decided to really post on my blog every day, read other people's blogs, and comment on other people's blogs about a month and a half ago. It has been so much fun getting to know people and finding so many fun blogs! It's so fun to read people's blogs and relate to them through things that we have both been through as well as things that we are going through right now. It's fun to get ideas from people's blogs and it is so much fun to look forward to having kids, being done with school, and so much more through reading people's blogs who are at this point in their lives. 

Recently in blogland I have had some super sweet people give me awards and it is so exciting to know that people read, and like my blog! So today you all get to hear seven more random facts about myself because I got another Versatile blogger award {see first one here} from the sweet Jessica of her blog Live Laugh Love {Thank you Jessica! And everyone else, please go check her wonderful blog out! I love reading her random thoughts and she is a very talented writer. :]}. I was also given the "I Dig Your Blog" award. That one was from the wonderful Gentri Lee. I have been reading Gentri's blog for quite a while and I always love her sweet comments and her sweet responses to my comments on her blog. She is lots of fun, super stylish, and is throwing a Utah blogger meet-up with some other Utah bloggers that any of you in Utah should check out. {I wanted to go so badly and even looked into flying out there but school is just not that nice to me!} Finally, I was tagged in a fun blog game by Ashley from her blog Sloanbook! I love Ashley's blog all about life with her husband and her adorable dog Katinka {You should check out her most recent post and see where they got that name from! I love the story!}

So, first, thank you to all the wonderful ladies that sent me these fun things!

Now, here are seven {more} random facts about me:

1. I am in the process of starting another blog with a couple of my sisters-in-law. My sister-in-law Jackie had this great idea to do a blog with some of the gals from the family where we post about affordable style, crafty things, sewy things and the like. We are in the process of making the blog cute {thank you to my skilled sister-in-law Nikki} and getting some posts up for everyone to read! I can't wait to tell you all about it in a few days! 
2. I just started an on-campus job that I love! I work in an office answering phone and dispatching messaged to General Maintenance Managers across campus. Sounds cool, eh? Haha. 
3. I used to meditate every day. And no, not the mmmmm...mmmmm...hands in the air, legs crossed kind of meditate. I would simply find time every day to sit, relax, and not think or stress about anything. I would just be for a few minutes. I think that I am going to start this again because it made my days so much more manageable. 
4. I dream of having a piano in my home someday. I am not by an means a good pianist but I love to play the hymns and primary songs. It's calming and I really want my children to grow up around music. 
5. I love babies and can't wait to have my own someday. Want to know a guilty pleasure my mom and I have? {Yes! I knew you would!} My mom and I both love to buy baby clothes for my future children. I already have a drawer full of adorable clothes for my future adorable babies! 
6. I want to learn to sew so that my kids can have the coolest Halloween costumes ever! 
7. I am already planning Christmas presents thanks to this post by Yours Truly, Madison! I am SO SO excited for Christmas! :]

Once Upon a Time

I was checking some comments on my blog when I came across a comment from Daryl of her blog Roots, Wings, and Other Things. In this comment she told me that she had nominated me for my first ever blogging award! The Versatile Blogger. :] Yay for first ever awards in blogland and thank you so much Daryl for nominating me! {You should all head over and read her post about her nomination. It's cute! As are all of her posts! And if you ever need some ideas for DELICIOUS meals you should look there as well!}

Anyway, the rules of this award are as follows: 1. I must thank the award-giver and link back to them in my post. {Check!} 2. I must tell you wonderful readers seven things about myself. 3. I must give this award to up to 15 recently discovered bloggers. And 4. I must contact those bloggers and tell them the exciting news!

So now I will begin to cover numbers 2-4!

Here are seven random things about myself:

1. I am in love with the family in The Cosby Show. I have mentioned this show before because Race and I watch it ALL. THE. TIME. but I am seriously obsessed with that family. I want to have a family dynamic like them someday. And you should all watch the show to see what I mean!
2. Lindt chocolates are my weakness. {If you've never had one go out and try them. I like the red packaged ones. And...if they become your weakness as well I am sincerely sorry...kinda.}
3. I bought an iPhone two years ago and it may not have been the most financially smart decision but I am in love and don't think I could ever go back. {If you know of any awesome apps you must tell me about them!}
4. In high school I joined the dive team although I had never gone off the high dive before. Smart, eh? Now that I'm done with diving I am once again afraid of the high dive.
5. I am short. {5'1/2" to be exact} I don't know if you all knew that or not...I am not sure how well shortness comes across in writing. Haha. Just kidding. I don't know how well it comes across in pictures though.
6. I adore Zooey Deschanel. I am so excited for her new show to come out. {T-minus 5 days...I think.}
7. I am quite skilled at doing hand stand walking. Also, I can't lick my elbow. Not at the same time of course. Although maybe I should work on that! Race came up with those last two for me that's why it turned into two rather than just the one. :]

Now for some nominations! {If I renominate anyone I am really sorry! I don't know how you are supposed to know if someone has been nominated before or not...}
1. This is not a recently found blog but I have always loved my old roommate Kylie's blog. She writes about life as a newlywed, yummy recipe she makes, cute crafts she makes, and she has an adorable etsy shop where she sells cute headbands and belts {made by her best friend}. Of the many blogs that I read I often save Kylie's for last partly because I know her but mostly because I always love reading her posts. They are cute and profound and just overall awesome!
2. Kaycie of the blog {Redhead} Memories. Kaycie was my first guest poster ever on my blog! And I love visiting her blog. She is a newlywed {like me!} and is living in Las Vegas with her husband. She blogs about taking pictures, yummy recipes, being a newlywed, and other fun things! I learned how to properly wear my towel on my head after showering from her! Haha. Super random but also super good to know. Kaycie is really fun and just about the cutest redhead I've met in blogland! Go and check her cute blog out!
3. Finally, for now I would like to nominate Ashlyn of Fowliters Forever. I love Ashlyn's blog. She posts about WHATEVER catches her fancy. Whether that happens to be yummy food she makes, her adorable outfits, adventures with her husband {and other awesome people in her life}, literally anything that she deems interesting. I love that about her blog! And I just happen to find everything that she finds interesting/funny interesting/funny as well. So I guess that helps! Go over and check her cute blog out!

Now I'm headed out to tell all these pretty ladies that they won an award! Yay for fun blogging awards and spreading the love!
