Stu from Something to Stu Over has kindly nominated me for The Versatile Blogger Award. I apologize to Stu for the delay in posting this, but I do enjoy learning more about our fellow bloggers, so I am happy to participate. Thank you so much, Stu, for the nomination and I hope that many of you reading this will check out his blog and follow him!
The Rules
1. Thank the person who gave you the award.
2. Include a link to their blog.
3. Select 7 blogs/bloggers that you’ve recently discovered or follow regularly.
4. Nominate those bloggers for The Versatile Blogger Award.
5. Finally, tell the person who nominated you 7 things about yourself.
Seven Facts about Me
1. I am a distant relative of Buffalo Bill Cody. I live in Virginia, so I’m not sure how all of this genealogy stuff works.
2. I was 5’7” tall when I reached adulthood. My children call me the “incredible shrinking woman” because now I am just over 5’2″” tall. My spine’s discs seem to be collapsing.
3. I have lived in 11 different states and the District of Columbia.
4. I went on a missions trip to Guatemala and had my eyes opened to how many in the world live…not like we do in the U.S. that is for sure!
5. I am a born again Christian with a deep love for my Savior and an increasing appreciation for His sacrifice. I was born again on February 28, 1973. My daily joy is reading God’s Word and discovering new truths to apply to my life.
6. I have three children, nine living grandchildren and one grandchild who is in Heaven. Although at times I fear death, I think of little Tessa Serenity who is already waiting there to meet me and that helps to calm my fear.
7. I am a pro-life, conservative woman who votes for the candidate who most closely follows my beliefs. I believe in creation, that there are two genders because that is how God made us, that homosexuality is a sin and that one day God will judge the whole earth.
My nominees are:
I am happy to nominate these bloggers, but they should not feel obligated to participate. I just want to find out more about each of you and to let you know that I appreciate you and your blogs. Have a blessed day, everyone!

Thank you for the honor. Being a 24/7 caregiver to my husband, having so many followers to read, and so much to write about, I have to decline. Think there are a couple of things you learned about me in my comment.

Thats interesting you mention the shrinking woman part. I was talking with an gentleman at work yesterday and he told he used to be taller than I am until he hit 50. And I was like, oh snap, I’m 51. It does happen.
Thank you so much for your kind words and for participating. 🙂
How is the recovery going?

It’s going well. I’m up to 900 calories now. Still doing breathing incentive. Once I can breathe well and get my calories up to 1000, I’m allowed to exercise again. I still have problems sitting up for a long period of time, but that’s because I’m still healing inside. Thanks for asking!
