So sorry this has taken so long, but some amazing blog friends have given me awards and tagged me so I need to recognize!
Sweet Brea gave me this award! I adore her blog so please check it out.
The lovely Tasha gave me this award!
The rules for this award are to list 5 addictions, so here are mine:
1. Sushi. Did I mention I could eat this EVERYDAY?
2. Coffee. Garth makes the best coffee and I can't start my morning without it.
3. Pineapple. I can't get enough of this fruit!
4. Praying with Garth each morning. God is truly using this time to bless us and our relationship. It is stronger than it's ever been! I cherish this time together with him!
5. Reading your blogs. You all make me laugh and cry. You give encouragement and inspire me and I am so glad I met all of you!
Following Him gave me this award. I am so flattered! She is so sweet, wise and has an good head on her shoulders. Visit her blog, you will love it.
Navigating the Quaterlife and With Love from New Orleans tagged me in this fun game! I love these blogs! I think "With Love from New Orleans" and I were separated from birth because we are so alike, though she has better fashion sense.
The rules are you must share six non-important things/habits/quirks about yourself, so here goes nothing:
1. My bed must be made when I go to bed or I can't sleep. This sometimes means making my bed before getting into it.
2. I don't wear heels because they hurt my feet and I can't walk in them.
3. I loathe snow and dream of the day I can move to a state where snow does not exist.
4. I don't like writing in pencil.
5. I drink eight glasses of water a day.
6. I'm not into jewelry. The only jewelry I wear are my diamond earrings Garth gave me, my engagement ring, and my wedding ring.
Meghan tagged me in this fun Candy Cane Questions game!
1. What is your favorite Christmas Movie? It's a Wonderful Life
2. Favorite Christmas Song? O Holy Night
3. Favorite Holiday Memory? Watching "Charlie Brown Christmas" and my dad proclaiming "The only cartoon with the true meaning of Christmas!" every year.
4. What kind of cookie/treat do you like to make? Bake? Me? Hmm Garth and I made candy cane cookies and that was fun!
5. Have you ever made an igloo? Heck yes! My brothers and I did this A LOT.
6. Do you love Starbucks? YES.
Gingerbread Latte or Eggnog Latte? Eww none of the above, carmel macchioto please.
7. What makes the perfect Snowman? Sticks, the snowman needs arms!
8. Best gift you have ever given? Homemade cookbook.
9. Best gift you have ever received? Gosh this is hard. I don't think I've recieved a bad gift!
10. What is the snowman's name on Rudolph? I have no idea, ha!
11.Silver or Gold? My answer is the same as Meghans: If were talking jewelry Silver--otherwise always Gold
12. What is your favorite Christmas decoration? The white Christmas lights on my mom's staircase - so pretty.
13. What's your Christmas decorating style? Classic white lights.

17. What was your favorite ornament on the tree as a child? The angel because my dad would take turns lifting us up to put the angel on the top of the tree. Even when my brothers were all grown up, he lifted them up to put it up there - so. funny.

You are so lucky to have your dad with you. My dad passed away 8-31-1999, which also happens to be my hubby's birthday. You are very lucky that you were able to have a father daughter dance at your wedding and still have his constant love and support. I am so jealous.
Happy Birthday to your dad! Very sweet! And look at you, racking up the awards!
We have been married for almost a year on December 11!
Aw, I love how much you love your daddy. I love mine that much too :).
I can't wear heels either. It's because I have scoliosis, but they are just uncomfortable!
Look at you..congrats on all your awards!! How fun!
