The One Lovely Blog Award Nomination

I am totally honored that my blog has been nominated by Allie at Experiencing Life for the One Lovely Blog Award! Allie, thank you. I am beyond thrilled!

These are the rules below, explained by Experiencing Life, for the nominees to follow:

1. Thank the person who nominated you.
2. Add The One Lovely Blog Award to your post.
3. Share 7 things about yourself.
4. Pass the award on to 15 nominees.
5. Include this set of rules.
6. Inform your nominees by posting a comment on their blogs.

Seven Things about Me:

1. I am crazy about my family. You say, Isn’t everyone? Yes, but I am a bit over crazy. I once   repeatedly drove by a Starbucks to check on my daughter who was on a first date. Okay, do you believe me now?  Her date noticed me and she ran out to yell at me. I told her I needed coffee and she said, “Then go through the drive-thru!” In my defense it was on the way back from my gym and on my first “drive by” I saw a girl that looked like my daughter sitting alone and thought she had been stood up. Okay, I take it back, there really is no defense for that. But the fact that I never did it again should count for something!
2. I am a pastor’s wife. And after reading number  one on this list you can see how I really don’t fit the typical stereotype  of a pastor’s wife. However, it is a title I wear with honor and I work very hard to stay out of trouble and not cause my husband grief.
3. I love God with my whole heart. I became a  Christian in 1986, surrendered my life to Jesus Christ, have never regretted it, and have never been the same.
4. I have a big heart. As a child my dad used to  say to me, “Lucille, you can’t save the world!” As an adult I realize that his statement is true, but I can offer what I can to each person God puts in my path, trying to make the world a little brighter.
5. I see humor in almost all situations. Yes, this can be awkward at times, but it also makes life fun. My kids survived a mom who laughed at mistakes and falling down, but they also learned to      laugh at themselves.
6. I love food. My friend calls me a foodie.
7. I am a vegetarian. Weird, huh? Considering number six.
