The Sunshine Award

My very dear friend Sheri from Homeschooling on a Wing and a Prayer gifted me with this award:

Considering that she has seen some of my “less than sunshiny” moments, I’m truly honored that she would think to pass this award along to me.  Love you, Sheri! 

FYI: I know I’ve shared this one my blog before, but I actually got to meet Sheri in person a few months ago, after knowing her as a fellow Crew mate for the past 2 years.  I wish she lived right next door because I know we’d have a blast!

Anyway, I’m supposed to pass the award to 7 other Sunshiny bloggers, and share 7 random things about me.  If you leave comments here on my blog, then you add sunshine to my day – so consider yourself awarded!  Now, here are my 7 things (and I’m taking some inspiration from Sheri):

1. I started drinking coffee when I was pregnant with Ashley.  Our church had a faith-pledge dinner at a place where the water reeked of sulfur.  Ugh!  I opted for the coffee, and have been drinking it ever since.  I go in spells where I’m more of a “social drinker”; but currently I’m on an every morning, 2-3 cups per morning, kick.  My favorite flavored creamer is currently Coconut Cream – yum!
2. I love moving furniture around.  Whenever I move our bedroom around, I always opt for the side of the bed closest to the door, since this is equivalent to being closest to the bathroom!
3. I am not familiar with current tv shows because we cut our cable service over 6 years ago.  We live in a valley, surrounded by hills and mountains, which basically means that, without cable, we get no channels whatsoever.  We’ve been enjoying watching old tv shows via Netflix on the Wii.
4. Brian and I have never attended a high school reunion.  My graduating class only consisted of 6 kids (Christian school) and we don’t have reunions.  His are usually held in  bars and are overpriced.  Facebook is a fun way to catch up with people, though (and you can be somewhat choosy without coming across as rude – LOL).
5. Chips are my snack food of choice and my absolute favorites are these ===>
   A whole entire bag of curly kettle chips?!  Yep!  And they are yummy!  (For the record, though, I don’t get these very often.)
6. If God had allowed me to plan my course, my kids wouldn’t be separated by so many years.  However, He knows what is best and I wouldn’t have it any other way now! 
7. Someday (hopefully in the not-too-distant future), I’ll be driving a Toyota Camry instead of a Chevy Venture.  In the meantime, though, if we could find a used 2-door Yaris (in red or dark blue), automatic, for a good price, I’d definitely consider buying it to share with Ashley.
