This week, both Katie and Leslie both sent me the Beautiful Blogger Award. Thank you, ladies!

As part of this award, I am to share seven things you don’t know about me, then pass this on to seven other bloggers.

Ready? Here we go.

1. I took tap dancing lessons for years, and even was on a competition team in fifth grade. I miss dance classes!

2. Dan and I met in an advanced Chemistry class. This is also where we met the officiant of our wedding. Can you say nerdy?

3. I took French classes all the way through high school, and for one semester in college. I wish I could have taken more, but they just didn’t fit into an engineer’s course schedule! I’ve forgotten a lot of my French, but plan to re-teach myself soon!

4. I am still super-close to a group of my high school friends. I love seeing them whenever I go home to Minnesota!

5. Speaking of high school, I secretly wish I had a place to wear my senior year prom dress. It was so pretty!

6. I love having a big family. About 60% of our wedding guest list is made up of my family!

7. I would love to go to culinary school for a semester or year to learn the basics, but it is expensive!
As much as I’d love to pass this award on to everybody, I have to pick seven. So….
  1. Lindsey (Sound Eats) I seriously wish she didn’t live on the other side of the country. I have so much fun g-chatting with her, on almost a daily basis!
  2. Megan (MegaNerd Runs) Megan was one of my first blogger friends. She and I are both engineering majors graduating in 2010!
  3. Heather (Then Heather Said) Heather is one of my closest blogger friends. I’m so excited to meet her at FitBloggin’ in March!
  4. Mae (OhhMay) Mae is planning on majoring in Food Science, and is such a sweetheart!
  5. Jessica (How Sweet Eats) Jessica has so many great recipes, and some killer workouts!
  6. Abby (Abby Normally) Abby and I had a good freak-out session over tonight’s episode of Lost. Seriously, it was insane, and good to have someone to talk about it with!
  7. Jenn (Eating Bender) I have just started to get to know Jenn, but she is such a sweetheart! On a side note, go vote for her at the Crate and Barrel Ultimate Wedding contest!

its is now after 2:30 AM. i am still not asleep. I have tried to lay down and force myself to sleep and toss and turn and my mind is FLIPPING over one thing and another.

i gave up. and i am watching Sweet Home Alabama. And I forgot McDreamy is in this.

And i thank you for this beautiful nomination.
And I thank you for being you.
And for putting up with all my oddness and randomness and as this comment points out, wordiness.

and on that note…..
