I’m very excited because Lauren over at A Duck on the Run awarded me the Versatile Blogger Award! Although it’s been a few days, I definitely didn’t forget about it 🙂
There are a few basic rules with this award:
1. You have to thank the giver, and provide a link to the post. Thanks to Mrs. Q!!! (Seriously, she has the coolest last name!)
1. I can’t wait till I actually buy my own house instead of living in an apartment. Why? Because unlike most people, I can’t wait to landscape my own yard. Even better? I love the yard maintenance that comes with that!
2. I’ve done a lot of traveling and have been to upwards of 30 countries and 5 continents. It’s an addiction!
3. I’m not the best cook in the world, but I really love to bake. I just pulled some oatmeal pumpkin muffins out of the oven and they smell delicious!
4. I grew up as a dancer: I was captain of my hs team, danced for the competitive team at CU-Boulder, instructed at a studio, and then even danced professionally for a year for one of the pro sports teams here in Colorado. Then I decided 25 years of dance was enough and I switched over into the outdoor sport/triathlon world. Never looked back!
5. I’m fluent in Spanish and realized how useful this language is a few years ago when I was in Cairo, Egypt of all places! We were lost in downtown Cairo and obviously, no one spoke English; just Arabic. I finally found a man that spoke Spanish and he gave me wonderful directions back to our hotel!
6. I’m a total book nerd, and am always on the lookout for something new to read. Feel free to offer me any suggestions about a great book!
7. I’m finishing up graduate work in Special Ed and one day, I’d like to own my own outdoor education program for kiddos with special needs.

Ok, that’s actually 16 but whatever… I never said I could count!
Thanks again to Lauren!!!!
Keep an eye out in the near future: I think I am going to have my first ever giveaway!!
Do you have any other blogs that I MUST add to my list of “stories”?
