A big thanks to Brilliant London for nominating Global from Home for the One Lovely Blog Award. Now that we are moved and I’m feeling slightly settled in OKC, I am ready to bestow the honors to others. So here are the rules:
1. Link back to the blogger who nominated you (thank you, Brilliant London!)
2. Paste the award image on your blog, anywhere.
3. Tell us 7 facts about yourself
- When my Hubby is out of town, my meal of choice is cheese and crackers.
- My favorite trip was to El Calafate, Argentina with my best friend. She threw up on me after eating bad sushi but it only made the trip more memorable.
- If I could go any where in the world right now, it would be a toss up between Cambodia and Egypt.
- My mom always taught us, “Where there is a will, there is way.” The older I get, the more I agree with her.
- I have pictures of me with two celebrities: Jimmy Carter and Oscar the Grouch.
- Currently I am applying for a PhD program in higher education and hope to start classes in January.
- I have read Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice at least 6 times.
