<p>Tamela at <a href="http://tamelapage.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">The Chatty Brunette</a> has given me another blog award! I am so excited about this one! Tamela is such a sweetheart. I really hope everyone goes to visit her blog!</p>
<p>.</p>
<p>I have to share 10 things about me and and then tell you 5 things I don&#8217;t like.</p>
<p>1. I met my husband online.<br />
2. I can play several different instruments.<br />
3. I was homeschooled from grades 7-12.<br />
4. I still like Disney shows.<br />
5. I like sushi.<br />
6. I still have my favorite stuffed animal, that I got when I was a baby.<br />
7. I love sending snail mail. (Send me your address and I&#8217;ll mail you a card!!)<br />
8. I love doing so many things that I could turn into a business, but I don&#8217;t have the discipline to do it alone.<br />
9. I&#8217;ve been to the Bahamas.<br />
10. Half of my personal belongings have been in storage for a year because of our tiny apartment.</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t Like:</p>
<p>1. Bugs. But I&#8217;m not too scared to kill them.<br />
2. Wrestling<br />
3. Roller coasters<br />
4. Writer&#8217;s block. Which I tend to get a lot.<br />
5. Allergies. They make me get sick a lot and then I can&#8217;t sing. Which is horrible because I literally sing every day!</p>
<p>.</p>
<p>Now here are the 5 amazing people I am passing this on to&#8230;</p>
<p>.</p>
<p>1. Desi @ <a href="http://thecrunchymommy.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">The Crunchy Mommy</a><br />
2. Jill @ <a href="http://thehusaileybunch.com/" target="_blank">The Husailey Bunch</a><br />
3. Mrs P @ <a href="http://alittlepinkinaworldofcamo.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">A Little Pink in a World of Camo</a><br />
4. Nicole @ <a href="http://coley02.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Casa de Nicole</a><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div>
<p>This fabulous award has certain &#8220;rules&#8221; that go along with it. Here are the rules:<br />1. List five current obsessions<br />2. Pass the award on to five fabulous blogs</p>
<p>Well, my fiance said that my 5 obsessions are: Wedding, wedding, wedding, wedding, and wedding. But that&#8217;s just ONE! LOL! </p>
<p>So my five current obsessions are&#8230;</p>
<p>1. Planning my wedding! YAY!!<br />2. Blog swaps. They are SO much fun!!<br />3. Planning our future. House ideas, business opportunity ideas (for me), children, etc.<br />4.Watching tv. Grey&#8217;s Anatomy, Private Practice, One Tree Hill, Army Wives, FlashForward, NCIS &amp; NCIS: LA, CSI: Miami &amp; NY, Drop Dead Diva, Say Yes to The Dress, Accidentally on Purpose, Criminal Minds, Eastwick, Numbers. JUST to name a few! LOL!<br />5. Reading. Books, blogs, magazines, etc. I love reading. I kinda stopped reading for a few years, but now that I&#8217;m not working and wearing myself out, I&#8217;m reading more. Oh how I&#8217;ve missed you so!!</p>
<p>Okay now on to the five Fabulous blogs I am passing this award on too &#8230;</p>
