Bloggy Award

So Kristy nominated me for a bloggy award so I thought I try and nominate some other people. I'm really bad at all these tags, I either don't do them or I do them wrong but I'll give this one a try. Plus I don't think I was the winner but I thought it would be fun to do anyway so I could talk about my friends! It will be hard to narrow it down to 7 people though. I love reading every ones blogs, especially lots of my friends that live so far away from me.
1. This is one of my great friends Nancy that I grew up with. She's younger than me but I love her so much. Her family are fantastic and still live in England and she has just moved to Hawaii so I love to read her blog so I can see what she's up to. She had her first little girl just before I had Hadley so it's fun to see how she's growing and how cute she is. I really miss Nancy, it was so nice having her live so close by and now she's 1000's of miles away.

2. Arin is one of my really good friends in my ward. I visit teach her and we work together in RS which is lots of fun. We only live a few streets away from each other, we're in the same ward so I see her a lot but it's so nice to read her blogs and see what her and her cute kids are up to.

3. Jessica just moved into our ward and I think she's lovely! She's on the enrichment board with me so it's been fun to get to know her. Her blog is always so cute, her little girl is so cute and I love all the stories she tells about her and all the funny things she says and does.

4. This is Nancy's sister JaNae, she is the same age as my sister. Anyway we hadn't been in contact for a long time so being able to read her blogs has been great. She's such an amazing women, much like her mother who I think is super women, mom, everything. Anyway her 3 kids are about the same age as mine so it's fun to see what she's up too, plus she lives so far away so it's nice to keep updated with everything.

5. Heidi is one of my good friends as well. We used to be in the same ward but not anymore. We still live in the same neighbourhood but I don't see her very much. Last year our girls were in the same preschool and this year we had babies at the same time so it's nice to see how she's coping with life with a new baby and kids in school.

6. Joanne is new in our ward and I have the pleasure of visiting teaching her so I've been able to get to know her quite a bit. Anyway I think she's wonderful! I love reading her blog because she has such a cool style about her, she's pretty trendy I think but in a cool way. (She shares her blog with her twin sister too which is cool). Anyway I don't know how to say this, so I'm sorry if this sounds weird, anyway! She has a hard time sometimes and I know life isn't always easy for her but I think she does so well. I look at my life and think it's hard sometimes but I don't have to deal with what she does so I think she's amazing!!!

7. Heidi is one of my friends from England. She was older than me but we knew each other and I always thought she was cool because she seemed a lot like me, I'm not trying to say I thought I was cool by the way, well maybe I am, I was pretty cool back in the day if I do say so myself, hahaha!?! Anyway she lives in Canada now, she married a missionary from our mission too so we're are quite a bit alike, he even served the same time as Steve so it's funny. Anyway she has become a great friend, I really treasure our friendship. It's so fun to read her blogs to see what's going on in her life up in Canada ayy!

I have to give shout out to Natalie as well because I think she's great. We've been in the same ward forever but it hasn't really been until I started to read her blog that I knew what she was really like, I think she's so funny, she always makes me laugh when I read her blogs. Also I think Jodi is great and very funny as well. She's so cute especially when she talks about having her new baby. I think she's a great Mom and I'm glad she's in my ward. I would have also talked about Kristy as well but she is the one that nominated me. Anyway she really is a wonderful friend and I've been so glad that she has moved into my ward. It's so fun to hang out with them because our kids are all pretty much the same age. Also I'm glad my very dear friend Shera now has her blog up and running again. Even though she just lives across the street it's still fun to see her blog, she's amazing!

Really I just love all my friends and family, I could talk about all of them. I feel so lucky to have so many amazing friends from the good old days in England and now here. I used to worry that I would never find friends here like I had at home but I have so thank you to you all, I love all of you and am grateful to have each of you in my life.

Thanks Zoe! Wow! I feel so special. I'm horrible at following through on tags too...never done it on my blog. We'll see if I pull it off! So what are the rules? Am I suppose to do the same now?...oh wait. I just got smart and linked to your friend Kristy's blog and got the rules.

Every one wins, I don't know why they say nominate, because really you are giving 7 awards. Anyway, I am glad we are friends too, and I still think you are pretty darn cool, I mean you know everyone and everyone loves you.

Zoe, you're so cute! I wish I could just let go of my inhibitions at church and just be ME, for crying out loud! Maybe I'm just too preoccupied with my kids or something. I've got to start going to the RS activities, if I could ever remember them on time!

Jessica said...
