Box of chocolates

Thom at Thoms Place 4 Well Whatever gave me this blog award on Sunday. Here are the rules that go with it:

Pam says: “In my best southern accent, I would like to say that I have been thinking about a new award and what I would like it to say. People are like Forrest Gump said ” Life is like a box of chocolates and you never know what you’re gonna get.

You can see this box of chocolates is filled with different and unique candies and just like the chocolates we are all different and unique people. We are the same in that we all have common ingredients that make us more a like than not. Except for the frosting, which represents our personalities, we are indeed very similar on the inside.”

And of course there are rules: 1. That you must pass this award to others.

2. Link back to me when you have passed them forward.

3. Write a nice post about this award.

4. You must read this award with a southern accent. I call it southern day where we all have to speak with a southern accent. I know that will be hard for some of you, but for the rest of us, we will be fine. So now, ya’ll just enjoy this little ol’ award and have fun with it.

5. And of course let your folks know that they have a nice award waiting for them.

So who get's the box of chocolate next?

Fencing Awards Banquet

The fencing awards banquet was held at the Hilton on Monday night. Angie got a varsity pin ( apparently you can only get the actual letter once. makes sense she already has a jacket) She was also announced as sabre squad captain for next year.

Angie's best friend (coach's daughter also a sabre fencer) , Alejandra and Angie ( have I ever mentioned saber fencers are all nuts?)



Angie and her 2 coaches. ( yes, she decided her hair was getting too big- she took a fast shower after track practice and didn't have time to dry or put produce in- so she put it up)

Blog Award

I got this award from Grace @ lovincomfortknits on February 2nd, and then again from Ceci @ intarsia on February 12. So I figure I need to do something with this before I run out of people to nominate! I am relatively new to the whole blogging world after all. So here are the rules:


Here are the official rules:
1. Copy the award to your site
2. Link to the person from whom you received the award
3. Nominate 7 other bloggers
4. Link to those on your blog
5. Leave a message on the blogs you nominated.

So while it wasn't easy. Here are my nominees. Jen whose blog is always entertaining and has two of the most adorable kids you have ever seen. Ginny who is probably the most creative person in so many different mediums. Catherine who does great knitting, and I love following the plight of her kitty POO. Theresa who while she doesn't blog completely regularly, blogs so it feels like you're talking to her on the phone. Joyce
who somehow manages to come up with a crafty blog entry just aBOUT EVERY SINGLE DAY!! Jodihas a blog I have only recently begun reading, but she and her family do a lot of fun things. Trish does a lot a really creative work and spins as well. And lastly knittyvritti who also does some amazing work.
