The Fondest Memories are made When Gathered Around the Table

I have a sign between my kitchen and dining room that says "The Fondest Memories are mad when gathered around the table" I think that is so true. During the holidays and when family is together it seems that if your not gathered in the Kitchen then you are gathered around a table, whether its to eat the meal, or just to play games you are gathered around a table. I know at my family's and my in laws, we are always talking while eating our meal having conversation and laughing. Now for games that is another story, we usually act like complete corn balls, laughing, the guys making chuck norris jokes that us girls just don't get and think are retarted, playing bunco and yelling it trying to keep Ronnie off the leader table :), and staying up so late playing games that the stupidest things make us bust up laughing. I LOVE that time when family is together, and I always miss it. So for me I think there are so many memories made around a table. Maybe that is why my Mother in Law has kept hers for so long because of all the memories it holds.

Kreativ Blogger Award!

Kreativ Blogger Award!



Today I received a nomination for the Kreativ Blogger award from my dear sis in law Kim . She usually talks more about her kids so it was neat to find out some things about her using this. Here are some things you may or may not know about me, ENJOY.

1. I got married at a very young age of 17 while I do not recommend it for several reasons, one of which I was/am very mature for my age many girls don't grow up for a while, I grew up fast. I don't regret at all getting married when I did, I met an incredible man who I LOVE very much and have made and am making an incredible life with him.

2. I received the Holy Ghost at the young age of 5. I remember it very well but I think you always do. I think one of the most incredible things to see and witness is a child receiving the gift of the Holy Ghost

3. I have a SHOE ADDICTION. It is quite terrible I have all sorts of shoes in different colors and styles. I do have to admit and my husband to it isn't an expensive addiction yes if you add it all up maybe but I have never spent over $30 on a pair of shoes and that was for boots which always run more.

4. I have a very unique, intriguing personality which would turn some people away but it is my and once you get to know my I think you would like it and me. It isn't bad its just not like everyone else's. I am my own person have my own thoughts, and concerns, decisions. I don't like to be conformed to anybody's ways, I have my own ways they work for me so I LIKE THEM.

5. I bottle up my anger, fears, etc. until I feel like I am going to blow which I don't. I am trying to work on it just unlike most women I am not the talk it out type. I am more the type when I get mad or upset I am very quiet and I think about it all in my head.

6. I want to eventually some day go back to school and get my nursing degree, I love the medical field and that has been one of my dreams. I also love Interior Decorating, Coordinating weddings and parties, and I LOVE PHOTOGRAPHY, a picture can capture time something we can never have back, I am saving my money for my Nikon 5000 which I will get someday

7. Like my sis in law I LOVE THRIFTING I love trying to find clothing and other things from the past that could probably tell a story. And finding things to wear that others might not dare, or others could not find, there is only one. Being UNIQUE
