Beautiful Blogger

This past week has been busy and tons of fun - Josh's family from California came out to cold Minnesota!  We kept busy by eating, eating, and more eating.  Major diet time tomorrow for sure!!  They definitely keep us entertained :)  I will post some pictures when I get a chance - I have been without our laptop because our lovely Kobe decided to chew up my power cord!  This is the second one.  I am so annoyed. 

Our week and weekend was filled with friends and family and we had a ball.  I hope we can make it out to Cali before the summer...I am trying to convince my hubby.  He is in the middle of taking his CPA tests so unfortunately that plays a HUGE factor on our travel.  I would love to go - plus - 3 of my favorite people are going too!  It is so wonderful out there - I have a few blogging friends who are from there too!  Speaking of blogging friends Trisha gave me a beautiful blogger award!  Isnt she so sweet??!!  Thanks Trisha!!

The rules for this award are that I am supposed to share 7 things about myself and then send the award to 7 people.

7 things that you may not know (or want to know) about me: *by the way...I had to get some ideas from Trisha otherwise I would have only had like 3 things down...so thanks Trisha!!

1.  I have known Joshua since I was the mere age of 14.  We have known each other for 9 years.  Wow, that is a long time.     
2.  I am allergic to pinapple and strawberries.  I am also lactose intolerant...but I still eat things with cheese and milk because they are so good. 
3.  My birthday was on Sunday and I turned 23.  Yes yes I got married when I was 20 (almost 21) and had Emma when I was 21.  I have always wanted to marry young and have babies young.  Remember my ultimate dream is to be a mom? 
4.  I am half Danish and every December 23rd we have Lil Yuleoften (sp??) with our entire crazy Danish family.  We eat Danish food and dance around the Christmas tree while singing a Danish song...dont you wish you could join us??!!
5. My degree is in Elementary Education.  I am not using that right now and I miss it.  I student taught in a first grade at a private Christian school and I. loved. it.   
6.  I will never be the same person I was before we lost Emma.  Some who knew me before having our sweet Emma can see that, and it is ever so prevalent to me.  I was very naive back in the day about alot of things.  I am not that girl.  Never again will I go through the day without thinking of Emma.  I have developed a passion for others in a relative situation in my heartache and I pray that passion never leaves.  It keeps me going. 
7.  I am exhausted and my brain is fried...so something simple for my last one...I am slightly obsessed with the twilight series.  Love. Love. Love those books!!  Oh wait - this was supposed to be something you didnt know about me???!!  Ha only joking (not about the obsessed part).   

If you want to know any more info on how you can join our memorable Lil Yuleoften Christmas' or anything else about my wonderful life feel free to email me Here :)
