I'd Like to Thank the Academy...

Jodi gave my blog an award! Hooray!!! I'm so excited! Thank you, thank you, thank you! :) If you want to see the nice things she said and check out the other blogs she nominated, click on the link above. :)

As a recipient of the award, this is what I'm supposed to do:

*Put the award on your blog.

*Link to the person you received your award from.

*Nominate seven other blogs for the award.

*Put links to those blogs on yours

*Leave a message on the blogs of the people you nominated.

So, after much careful deliberation, I nominate the following fabulous bloggers:

Leeanne, for closing the long distance between Mesa and Japan, and inspiring me to try to do the same. (Plus, she's just sweet and I love her to death.)

Roccy, for best blog title, hands down, and for posts that I never fail to enjoy.

Kimmy, for talking about her life and her beliefs with equal ease. You set a good example for all of us.

Anna, for blogging with more regularity than anyone I know, and for not being afraid to post all the pictures she wants.

Kami, for demonstrating how to overcome life's challenges with openness, faith, love, and optimism. And for her superior cow-roping skills!

Jodi, yes I know she already has an award because she's the one who nominated me. Yes, I know this is probably cheating. But Jodi really does have a fantastic blog. I found her blog through a mutual friend, and even though I didn't know her that well, her witty posts kept me coming back for more.

Anne, for finally wearing down her husband and getting permission to put her family on the internet. She's so creative, and we love hearing about what's going on with them because we love them so much and they're so far away and... oh wait... she doesn't have a blog yet. Not even a totally private one. Hint, hint. (Come on Eric, say YES!!!!) :)

If you haven't already, poke around in these blogs. There's good stuff there. :) Thanks again Jodi!
