The Stylish Blogger Award

I have been nominated by my dear friend Michelle for the Stylish Blogger Award. I was really surprised. I have been reading the past few days about my favorite blogs receiving this same honor and never dreamed that I would be chosen also. Now, this is what I need to do to:

1. Thank and link back to the person who awarded you. 
2. Share 7 things about yourself. 
3. Award 15 recently discovered great bloggers. 
4. Contact these bloggers and tell them about the award. 


Thank you Michelle at My Life as a Help Meet and Homeschooling Mom of Many, for nominating me for this award. I feel very honored.


Now, seven things about myself:
1. I was born and raised in Washington state until age 17, when I moved to Hawaii.
2. I met my husband on a blind date and 3 months later we were engaged.
3. I am not a morning person, but get up early (5 am) to I can spend a quiet time alone with God.
4. I have taken over 12 years of piano lessons and still cannot play.
5. I am an introvert until I get to know you.
6. I was terrified when my husband told me over 21 years ago that he (we) was (were) going to get out of the Army (after over 12 years, only 8 years until retirement) and go to Bible college, so he could become a minister. I could not imagine me becoming a pastor's wife. But I love it now and am really glad God called him to be a minister.
7. I was also terrified over 25 years ago when God called us to home educate our children. I really didn't think I could do it. But now over 25 years later, I am still home educating and loving it.
