Blog Award!

My sister-in-law, Sarah nominated me for a blog award. I am really the worst & most sporadic blogger ever but I appreciate the thought! So, the rules are Thank the person who nominated you for this award.--Thanks, Sarah! Copy the award & place it on your blog. Link to the person who nominated you for this award. Tell us 7 interesting things about yourself. Nominate 7 bloggers. Post links to the 7 blogs you nominate.

1. I was named Kenya after my dad- Ken. My parents had been trying to get pregnant for 7 years at that point & I think that they probably thought that I was going to be it for them! Contrary to what many people believe, I was NOT named for the African country.

2. In the last 12 months, at one point in time or another a total of 8 people have lived in our home. That does NOT include our 2 dogs. Right now, we are down to a calm & quiet total of 3 but are ready for #4! (See our adoption blog: http://sotoadoptionjourney.blogspot.com/)

3. I never expected to really LOVE living in Lousiana but...I love being close to family, I love our home & all of the amazing friends that we have made here. Not to mention...the yummy food here! Part of me...always misses Texas though!

4. I love to read books! My family jokes & threatens to not buy me books for special occasions because then I won't talk to them or socialize.

5. I think that I have the gift of hospitality & I love entertaining & having friends over a lot!

6. I love finding a bargain!! Getting up on saturday mornings (and I am NOT a morning person) and going garage saleing is so much fun to me! I get so excited about finding a really great deal!

7. Neither me or my son Caden are morning people! This really makes me happy because on days that we don't have to be anywhere, Caden will literally sleep until 10 or 11 am. On days that we have to be somewhere, I almost always have to wake him up & he is NOT happy about this!

5. Debbie
