You are Beautiful!

Be sure to check out my 2010 Goals and my January Goals.


I really like this song.  I love the message.  Who doesn't like hearing they are beautiful?



I am one lucky girl!  I received the same award from 2 different bloggers, both of which I respect and enjoy reading.  Ms. Holly of The Balance Broad and Lizzio of Fit Lizzo's Blog gave me this lovely award.  Holly is one beautiful lady; she is sweet, focused and thoughtful.  Lizzio is another gorgeous woman; she is tough, determined and talented.  




For this award I need to give it out to 7 other bloggers and include 7 things about myself.  I would like to give it to Angie of Angie Eats Peace, Ashlee of Ash is Fit and A Year in the Kitchen, Devon of Run, Sleep, Rinse, Repeat, CJ of Mrs. CJ Running and Travel, Rachel of 365 Runs, Hopefully, Kelly of Fitting Back In, and Tyler or Life of Ty.

Seven Facts About Me
  1. My favorite movie is Forest Gump.  I love it!  I never get tired of the movie.
  2.  I had my wedding dress made for me.  I kind of regret it.  My dress was beautiful (in my opinion) but I never got to have that "WOW" moment in the store.  I decided to have it made because I felt like I was too "big" for the wedding dresses that were in the stores.  I also didn't want strapless and so many of the dresses were strapless.
  3. I'm obsessed with my planner.  I have to have a place to record dates, appointments, projects, etc.  Now I also use it to track my calories.  I've had a planner every year since middle school.  Yes, I am a Tpe A personality.
  4. I love my job!  Teaching is all I have ever wanted to do.  I love being silly with my kids and being creative with my teaching.  When I don't force myself to be creative and original I get bored.
  5. I really don't enjoy the summer break or long holiday breaks.  I usually enjoy about 2 days to a week of quiet time but generally get very lonely by myself all day.  Most days I have 20 little people who need me.  On days off it's just me and the pup, Ella Blue.  I think it won't be so lonely once I have a child, but until then I almost dread long breaks.
  6. I can't go to bed without having my outfit for the next day laid.  This isn't important during the weekends but is during the week.  I put WAY too much time and focus into picking out my outfits.  I mean who really sees me?  7 year olds!
  7. I love the music group Hootie and the Blowfish.  I've loved them since 8th grade.  We saw them in a mini-concert when we were on our honeymoon in Charleston, SC.  Charleston is also my favorite southern city.

I love Forrest Gump, too! I love how they wove so many historical facts into the movie.

Thanks for the B-day wishes! I'm a planner girl too. I started in middle school with the Franklin planner and have evolved to my HTC Eris Google phone!!

haha i'm the same way about my clothes! Although not about Hootie! hehe you're so cute! I don't like long breaks either - unless Austin and all of my friends are on the break too! :)

Thank you for this award - I appreciate you thinking of me!

Thank you for the award! I'm taking a packing break so I'll post when I get back to NY.

I feel like we are so much alike in our organizational/planner obsessed qualities. I LOVE my planner and was sad when I didn't have pages for 2010 under the Christmas tree. My mom is a sneaky woman!

I saw Christina in concert and it was probably by far the best concert I've been to- and I've been to a lot, and of all different genre's. This song makes me feel amazing, too.

Loved learning the facts about you :-)

Congrats on the award! Well deserved, indeed! : )

I think that's about my experience with my wedding dress. I never got "the one" feeling. Oh well! I'm sure yours was beautiful : )

Sarah (Running To Slow Things Down) said...

Such a pretty new layout! Love it! :D

Isn't Forest Gump just such a great movie?? I haven't seen it in ages!

Holly said...

Wow, thank you SO much for your very sweet words! :-) I LOVED reading your 7 things. I do miss teaching sometimes, for the reason you said - what beats being goofy with little ones for 8 hours a day? Nothing! It took working with adults full-time for me to appreciate that. :-)

Congrats on your award!

I'm also obessed with my planner-don't know where I'd be without it!

Katie said...

Forrest Gump is an awesome movie! I usually have to lay out my outfit the day before too. Are you a fan of Darius Rutger as a country music singer?

SueMac said...

I love Hootie and the Blowfish, too! And Darius Rucker as a country singer is awesome..... I love his whole cd!

Congrats on the award!!!
