blog love

Well, well, well...

I have been awarded the Leibster Award by Courtney and Rachel! What? I am not even sure how that happened! The Leibster Award is for up-incoming bloggers {200 followers or less} that you think deserve recognition for their fabulous blogging abilities and I am so stinkin' excited! Bless your two sweet hearts!

Here's how this award process works!

Each Nominee Should:

1. Choose five up and coming blogs to give the Liebster award to. Blogs must have less than 200 followers.

1. Eryka @ abcde

She is truly a doll! I just stumbled over to her blog last week and fell in love with her preciousness! She blogs about life with her handsome hubby and real life things, which I love. My favorite thing about her, thus far is that she doesn't blog to obtain followers or certainly not to win any awards, this I love! She does it for herself, she rocks. Click over there right now!

2. Amber @ Living in the Moment

Amber is brand spanking new newlywed and just posted her bridal portraits! If for no other, get over there and check our her wedding dress. It it unbelievable. She is just a southern doll. She posts about the most fun things and we follow a lot of the same blogs which makes me know I would adore her in real life as well :) I am certainly a daily checker and you should be too!

3. Courtney @ For the Record  

She is planning her wedding, loves wine, and her nephew, and that's enough to sell me :) She recently put her fiance in the hot seat who sweetly answered questions! When asked who he thought she would choose to eat dinner with if she could choose anyone, he replied she would probably pick her nephew! You know that was after my own heart! Chase always jokes if I had to choose him or Deacon, who would I choose? If I could only save one of them who would it be? He is always disappointed that I never choose him ;) 

Just kidding, he's seen his cheeks, he gets it! 

4. Chelsea @ The Collegebook

It is fun times over there, she keeps it real, and we are lovers of lots of the same things. In real life, I would totally be trying to hang out with her! She is a little breath of fresh air in my blogging life. Her chronicles of Courtney from this past season of the Bachelor are priceless. I was thinking the exact same thing! She loves her momma, and thinks about engagement pictures she will take in her distant future, just like me :) I dig her. 

5. Megan @ and today was a fairy tale 

She loves Jesus and others, and is as beautiful on the inside as she is on the outside. She has the sweetest soul and is always posting things I need to hear. She truly brightens my days! Megan is a photographer and takes stunning pictures. She is just the cutest little inspiration on so many things and you need to run on over there and be inspired too! Plus on a very trivial note, her layout is adorable. Gray and yellow, need I say more? 

2. Show your thanks to the blogger who gave you the award by linking back to them.

3. Post the award on your blog.

4. List the bloggers you gave the award to with links to their sites. Leave a comment on their blogs to let them know they've received the award.

5. Share five random facts about yourself!

1. My parents wouldn't let me date my now boyfriend Chase (whom they now love) in high school. It was the biggest drama of my teen years and is now the most hilarious. 

2. My closest friends are not friends with one another, as in they don't know each other! (Other than knowing each other through me, of course!)

3. My roommate now, grew up across the street from me and has been my best friend since kindergarten. 

4. Growing up I would have told you I was my father's child. We are both very strong willed, passionate, and stubborn. However, will I am still all of those things, I become my mother a little bit more everyday. 

5. I want to some day adopt a child. We oohh and awww over Deacon and fight over who gets to hold him. We kiss him, and tell him we love him constantly. We are mildly obsessed with him and often think about those babies who may never receive that same attention :( This is something on my sister's heart as well and a dream we have for our family (as a whole!)

Thank you again Courtney and Rachel! 

Go follow all of these sweet souls! Or maybe just try to follow since blogger hasn't been letting me follow anyone all weekend! Is anyone else having this same problem?

I hope your week is off to a great start!
