i feel so completely honored and blessed that she picked me to be the recipient of this award.? i originally started this blog to keep up with my family and friends back home in sacramento, which turned into connecting with people across the globe, making the sweetest of friends, and now, getting awards!
who knew such a thing could happen?? not i. :)
in order to fulfill my responsibilities as the recipient of this lovely award, i must post 7 random facts about myself and then pass the award onto the blogger of my choice.
so here goes!
1. i have spent my whole life in california, but i am a southern girl at heart.
nothing?makes me happier than?country songs blaring from my stereo, demolition derbies, a cute pair of cowboy boots and American flags hanging from people's porches.? that resilient small-town, all-American spirit where people?hunt, work hard,?believe in God?and don't apologize for any of it is where i truly belong and one day (God-willing), is where i will be.
2.? lake tahoe is my favorite place in the entire world.
there isn't one day that goes by that i don't ache for the familiar scent of pine that reaches every molecule in the air and permeates every piece of clothing you bring home.? for the?homey feel?of the old-fashioned mini golf place where my family used to play every summer.??to see my toes underneath?the lake's cool, clear water.? for the?sparkle and light?of fireworks over the water on 4th of july.? for the feel of old cabins that hold barbecues and all-night board games with my family.? for the taste of?homemade ice cream on my tongue and the feel of the sand beneath my legs?while watching the sun set behind the mountains.??for the adventure of late-night road trips to tread through 3 feet of snow just to see the stars glistening off the water.? for the?breath-taking sight of??its snow-capped mountain tops to which very few mountain ranges can compare.? no place in the world holds more beauty, adventure and familiarity to me?than that?little lake town in the mountains.
3.?my family is, hands-down, the best and most important part of my life.
i love our inside jokes, how we can always make each other laugh, our religious discussions over dinner, and our powerful bonds in? Christ.? they are my joy, my support system, and the most amazing people i know.? i wouldn't be who i am today without them.
4.? i?was in a horrible car accident february 2, 2007.
i was on my way to see my brother's band play at church.? i was in my mom's van when i should've been in my little civic.? i wasn't wearing my seatbelt when i always wear my seatbelt.? the driver's side window was down even though it was raining.
i was broadsided by a truck going 50 miles an hour and i flew through the open driver's side window and landed on my head.? my neighbor's friends found me and held my unconscious body while they waited for the paramedics to come.
i did not come back to consciousness until almost an hour later.? i suffered severe road rash and a concussion, but ended up with no broken bones and no deep wounds.? if i had been wearing my seatbelt, my legs would've been smashed inside the van.? if the window had not been down, i would've flown through the glass.? if i had been in my little civic, i probably would have died.
i first woke up?when they were wheeling me down the hall in the hospital.? the nurse looked down at me and told me not to worry, that my male passenger was safe and went to another hospital.
i later found out that there was no male passenger in?the van; just me.? yet, several paramedics and police officers at the scene witnessed a man getting out of my van unharmed.? some people can speculate about what happened, but my life is a testimony of God's intervention and i have no doubt that He was the one who saved me that day.
5.? i currently work as?an administrative assistant?at a tax firm, but my?career dreams involve?doing missionary work?overseas, being a marriage and family counselor, and eventually, opening up my own foster/children's home.
6.? a recent addition to my life-list is?to, one day, buy and fix?up my own classic truck.
7.? i am a passionate?Christian and fiercely in love with my God.
---
so, there you have it--my seven things. :)
thanks, once again, to ashley and her sweetness for honoring me with this award.? i feel more than blessed to have her read and appreciate the things i share.
without further adieu, i would like to pass this award onto beka at hold on, love...
beka is, absolutely, one of my favorite bloggers.? whether she's talking about her family, sharing her favorite song of the day, posting quotes from the book she's reading, or?sharing her newest painting, her posts are pure, simple and beautiful, and i always leave her page with a sense of peace.
so, go ahead: swing by, check her out, and be encouraged!
hope everyone is having a fabulous tuesday.
