Thank you!!

All right in the last month I have received a ton of awards from so many wonderful blogs... and I keep meaning to post them and now I just feel bad that it has been so long since I have received some of these awards. So I am not going to follow all of "rules" of the awards, but instead am just going to feature the people that were so kind enough to give me an award.

1) I got the following award from Lourie-From CA Girl and from Preparing for Our Children's future --Did you know that not only does Lourie have a great blog that I love reading but she is my cousin-in-law! Ever since we moved to California I have been blessed to live close to her and have been able to get to know her. Lucas and Ryan (Lourie's son) adore each other.

--Preparing For Our Children's Future-I am amazed at her faith and how beautifully and openly she shares it. She also takes part in the Menu Planning Monday-so I can always get some good ideas for dinner from her.

2) Katelyn from The Bird's Nest gave me:I love looking at Katelyn's pictures, she is an amazing photographer. She and her husband are in the process of becoming foster parents and I totally respect them for that. I was a foster care worker in Utah, so I totally understand the need and importance of great foster parents.

3) Darcy from Just a Night Owl awarded me this:
She is amazing homeschooling mom of 3, soon to be 4 in the fall! Her blog is filled with faith, hope and some great ideas for home schooling.

4) Tami from Hearts Make Families awarded me this:
I was honored that Tami recognized my blog, as she is big time with over 1000 followers. The story of how she became a mom is inspiring and wonderful and she now devotes her life to her family and kids.


Thank you so much everyone for the wonderful awards! It was so kind of you all.

Also--I am thinking of something I would like for you to all join me. If you have read my blog for a bit, you know that at the end of every month I do my Ten Things to Smile About lists. This is just my chance to look back and the month and remember the good things about it.
I know of a couple of other bloggers that have started similar lists, and I would love for all of you to join in.

So on March 30th- I will have a Mr. Linky up that you can link up your month's list of Ten Things to Smile About. So during the month be writing down and thinking about what you are thankful for. I will remind you as it gets closer and am even going to try and create a button that you can grab when you participate.
