Award

I was given an award today by sweet Lilly Sue (love her name we could be sisters from the south) over at her fun and creative blog A Peace Of Bliss . Thank you so much for this award Lilly Sue it was so thoughtful of you. Thank you for your sweet comment about my name too! That put a big old smile on my face.
The requirements are to list 10 things about yourself and then pass it on to others. So here goes nothing.
1. I have a wonderful family that I love with all my heart and soul. I am so thankful to my Heavenly Father for blessing me with all these great people in my life.
2. I never thought I would get married let alone have children. Even though I was engaged 5 times before Mr.Right came along and swept me off my feet.
3. I took me three years to get pregnant. I wanted children so bad and we went through fertility specialists until one told me to stop thinking about getting pregnant and get a job I loved. So I got a job as a Chapter 1 teacher in Oct. of 89 and in on December 4th I found out I was pregnant with Coco.
4. I wanted to legally change my name to Coco when I was 13. I was studying Fashion Merchandising and fell in love with the Coco Chanel designs. So I wanted to have that great name. My parents would do it so I kept my name and decided I would name a child it someday.
5. From the time I can remember I have always read in the bathtub. I read so much faster in the tub than anywhere else.
6. My dream is to live on a farm that would be self-sufficient. Raising animals, having a huge garden, with solar energy and a well. This way I wouldn't owe anyone any money. Not that I am a environmentalist but I was born in the wrong time period.
7. I use to be a model. I went to Plaza Three Finishing and modeling school. Then went into print modeling from the time I was 13 to 21. I had big dreams and then at 21 retired from the business. I was way to short but could get away with it in pictures. Got tired of starving myself to fit that mold.
8. I love to celebrate holidays. The planning, decorating, cooking and crafting for them is so much fun. Not just the major one either.
9. If I had my way I would have a different set of dishes to match the type of dinner I was serving each night. Of course with cloth napkins, table cloth and serving dishes too.
10. I would love to know what my mission here on earth is. I pray that I am doing what Heavenly Father wants me to do but still not sure what I want to be when I grow up.
