Jessica tagged me from Simply Us. I don't really even know what this means- But I’ve had an assignment to complete....here are the rules:

1. Make a post and link back to the person who awarded you this award
2. Share 7 things about yourself.
3. Award recently discovered bloggers the award so it will be their turn next.
4. Contact these bloggers and tell them they’ve won.

I met Jessica through dance & gymnastics. Morgan started taking gymnastics when she was about 2. She was so cute when she first started. Then Jessica opened her studio & Morgan has been active in dance & gymnastics ever since. Here are some photo's from Jessica's Dance & Tumbling Studio.

Ok so here it goes.

1. I am a single mom of 2 amazing kids. "Their the fire in my driving on, the drive behind my coming home, the living, breathing reason that I AM"
They are what keep me going. Sometimes it is a very hard job being a single mom, but I wouldn't trade it for the world.

2. I am in nursing school. This has been one of the hardest things I have every done in my life, but I am almost finished. I have an amazing support system! I also have a great group of friends from nursing school.

3. I LOVE MUSIC. It is what gets me through the day. When I am having a bad day; I can crank up the music & for a little while all my worries are gone. As many of you know, Sugarland is probably my favorite duo. I have been to see them twice & we are going back in August. I am a big country music fan, but I will listen to just about anything. I have over 1,200 songs on my I-pod! Music is a major part of my life.

4. I enjoy taking pictures. I am by no means a professional photographer, but I enjoy taken pictures in what free time I do have. I got a Cannon T1i for Christmas in 2009 & I love the pictures it takes. I like to have pictures to put on my blog because I am not a very good writer, but I can use pictures to help tell our story.

5. I am addicted to angry birds. I had heard a lot of people talk about it & when I got my I-pod touch I started playing it. There were many days I would play it for hours on end. I have taken a break from it because school & life have been so hectic here lately.

6. I am a Girl Scout co-leader. When I first got asked to do this I had missed feeling. I had so much other stuff going on I didn't know if I would have time. I am so glad I decided to do this. It is a lot of work behind the scenes that not everyone understands, but it is rewarding to see the smiles on the girls faces.

7. I LOVE summer! Flip flops, shorts & tank tops, swimming, water parks, nights at the ballpark, baseball, being outside, cook-outs...I just love everything about summer (except the storms).

Well I guess that is my 7 things about me. This was a harder challenge than what I thought it would be. :)

Now for the two people I am going to tag.

#1 Ashley "Every life has a story". She is also a Girl Scout leader & I have been following her blog for about a month. I would like to hear 7 things about her.

#2 Paige "Mommy & Charlie". I have been following her blog for a while now. She has LOTS of exciting things going on in her life right now.
