Big Thanks. Award. 300 Follower Giveaway.

I have been slacking a little bit in the thank you department... I have A LOT of thank yous to send out today, to all of the *wonderful* bloggers who have been sending me awards!!!  First, I'd like to thank the following sweeties for giving me the Liebster Award {you can see my original Liebster Award post here}:

and the blogger {sorry, I can't find your name!!!} @ Wild About K Kids

Thank you again ladies!!!  If I missed anyone, please let me know!!

Now onto the next BIG thank you... I was given The Versatile Blogger Award by another group of *fabulous* bloggers:

Holly @ Crisscross Applesauce in First Grade

Mrs. Browning @ Darlin' in First

Mrs. Durden @ Confessions from a First Year Teacher

Diane @ Hopelessly Devoted to Teaching

Thank you all!!  Now, there are some rules I must follow for being given this award:

1. Thank the givers... which I just did :)

2. Share seven things with you, about me! Okay here it goes:

♥ I just got married this past July to my *college* sweetheart, who I've actually known since middle school.  We have officially been together for 7 years♥♥
♥ I love Tom Hanks!!  Looove Tom Hanks.  If I could meet anyone, I'd meet him!

♥ I'm a crier... movies, TV shows, soap operas, commercials {hey, sometimes they're sappy!}, songs {like my father-daughter dance song}... I cry.  And then my husband, or brother, or dad, or whoever sees that I'm crying, makes fun of me for crying.

♥ I have two kittens that I'm completely *in love* with.  They're so cute and cuddly!!

♥ I have RIDICULOUS dreams when I sleep.  Have YOU ever watched TV in an underwater castle??  I think not :)

♥ I'm addicted to soap operas.  I DVR them daily, and catch up at night.  But sometimes I don't have time to catch up everyday, and I end up with 6+ hours of soaps to watch over the weekend!  Perfect for football Sundays, ha!

♥ I'm a girly girl.  I like to get my nails done, do my makeup {love MAC!}, etc., etc., :)

and 3. Pass the award onto 15 newly discovered blogs.  Yikes!  Okay, these are the blogs that *I* just discovered recently, although they may not be new to you:

Ms. Preppy, First Grade Fresh, One Extra Degree, 3rd Grade Sprinkles, Oh Boy 4th Grade, Crazy for First Grade, Buzzing about Second Grade, First Grade Glitter and Giggles Second Grade Shenanigans

and the next blogs I didn't just discover, but I stalk love:

Miss Kindergarten, First Grade Blue Skies, Ladybug's Teacher Files, Clutter-free Classroom, Finally in First, Sunny Days in Second Grade

Phew, I did it!  It was really hard to narrow it down to 15, because I stalk many, many more :)  If any of you have already been given this award, there is no pressure to pass it on again... just do a happy dance, because you are *awesome* :)

And YAY I've reached 300 followers!  I just completed a big 200 follower giveaway, so I can't afford a biggie again just yet, but I would love to give three special someones my buggy for you patterns, free!
