AWARD

This award was given to me by "A Marine's Wife" at Flip Flops and Combat Boots.
THANKS SO MUCH for including me in your circle of friends!

:)  I know I have not been a very 'friendly' blogger over the past week or so, but I promise to get over my grumpies and get back to my usual POSITIVE self sometime very very soon.

The rules of the award are:


1) Post it on your page

2) List five things you looooove to do

3) Pick five friendly bloggers and pass it on!
 
SO, here are my five things:
 
1) I la-la-la-love kissing my husband.  When we first met, my friend wanted to fix us up,and I told her that I could not even PICTURE kissing him.  When I finally DID kiss him for the first time (more than two years later) I knew I wanted to spend the rest of my life with him - and his kisses still hold that magic 13 years after that amazing first kiss.
 
2) I love to bake, especially for other people - and my brownies have started at least a COUPLE of brawls :)
 
3) I love reading, especially now that I have my Kindle (my birthday present from hubby last year). I read at the doctor's office, or even in a long line at Costco, since I ALWAYS have my entire library right there in my purse.
 
4) I love my GADGETS - I am not as much of a techie as I pretend to be, but I can't live without my electronic 'toys', including the Kindle I mentioned above.  And I am keeping my fingers crossed that hubby thinks I was REALLY good this year, and will give me a new iPad for my birthday next week!
 
5) I love BLOGGING.  I find that I am more motivated to write regularly here than I would in a private journal, since others read it and give me such supportive feedback.  And I feel so 'connected' to the bloggy friends who I follow, especially the other milspouses, even though I have never even MET most of you.  This has quickly become an amazing support network for me, just when I need it most.
 
And now I am passing this Circle of Friends award on to:
 
Laura at Diamonds and Dog Tags
 
Amber at Willis, Party of 6
 
Julie at Julie The Army Wife
 
Sara at When In Rome

Jessica at Learning As We Go
