i ♥ your blog.

I've done it! I've won my first blogging award. And as a recipient of this prestigious award, I am to do the following:

1. Name five things you love.
2. Pass the award on to five blogs you love.
3. Link back to the giver's blog and tell how fabulous they are.

five things that i love
{just five things... not necessarily the five most important things in my life...}

1. being pregnant. not only is it the most amazing blessing and miracle, it's a great excuse, too! sorry, i can't go scuba diving. i'm pregnant. sorry, i can't try that swordfish or shark. i'm pregnant. sorry, i can't reach the remote. i'm pregnant. sorry, i can't fix dinner or clean the house for nine months. i'm pregnant.

2. laughing. i'm so lucky to be married to sean. he makes me laugh aaaaaaalllll the time. we love watching america's funniest home videos together.

3. shopping by myself.

4. old movies. especially anything with audrey hepburn, cary grant, fred astaire, grace kelly, katherine hepburn or gregory peck.

5. apple cider.

five blogs i love

1. jen's. jen's blog is beautiful to look at. she takes the most amazing pictures {see here. and here.}. plus she is fun and funny. and she has great taste in music!
