Seven New Things About Me!

Seven New Things About Me

I've been blessed by Gregg over at Gospel Driven Disciples with The Versatile Blogger Award. Thank you very much Gregg. I really appericate your kindness.  I am to list 5 random facts about me. I am also supposed to pass it on to 5 other bloggers which I will do but I do so with no inferred obligation whatsoever!


1. I have been dyeing my hair since I was thirteen. That's when I saw my first grey hair. My mom and sisters all started greying early. I don't dye my hair any crazy color. I just want to cover up my grey. I usually choose a alburn, dark brownish red color.


2. One Christimas when I was a kid, I wanted a Cabbage Patch doll for Christmas. I love Cabbage Patch dolls. Well on Christimas morning, what did I get--a cabbage with a face drawn on it! I immediately started crying my eyes out without realizing a real Cabbage Patch Doll was behind the cabbage. 

3. I spent a semester of college in Saltillo, Mexico. I absolutely loved it!  Saltillo is such a beauty city with a rich history. If you've never been to Mexcio I highly recommend it. Just avoid the border towns-they are ugly! 

4. I am not a very organized person. I want to be and I try hard. It just never seems to work out most of the time. It drives my hubby nuts because he is very anal. Ahum, I mean organized. :)


5. My oldest sister passed due to complications of cystic fibrosis when I was tweleve years old. I will never forget her. She was a wonderful person and I know I'll see her again some day. 


Now to the folks I would like to pass my award on to:
1. Diana at To Everything a Season
2. Trudy at Third Time's a Charm 
3.  Yvonne at Welcome to my world of poetry
4.  Margret at Single and Sane
5. Nola at Alamo North

Cherry on Top Award

I just got this award from Tori over at This Journey Called Life. Thanks Tori!
The rules of the tag says- I need to tell 3 good things about me and pass the award on! There is no minimum or maximum of how many people I give it to. 

Three good things about me:

1. I am like to lift others up in prayer.
2. Working with special needs children is the hardest and most rewarding job I've ever had.
3. I love to sing-even though  I can't carry a tune in a bucket. I'm make a joyful noise! :)

So here we go: These are people who go above and beyond when they blog- as the awards states "for beautiful blogs with that little bit extra" Great job all of you!
