6-Post links to the 7 blogs you nominate.
7-Leave a comment on each of the blogs letting them know they've been nominated.

Ok now i have to think of 7 things you do not know about me...this will be hard considering I am a pretty open person in general but maybe some of you won't know these things
- I have a secret obsession with the reign of Henry the 8th and his marriage to Anne Boleyn. I could read every single book out there on their relationship and about Queen Elizabeth their daughter. It is weird and I am dorky but still I find it sooo fascinating :) Here is proof of how long I have been obsessed with this...when I was about 10 years old for halloween when my friends were dressing up as Belle, Cinderella, etc. I dressed up as Queen elizabeth and I had a really old dress that my mom had from somewhere that when I saw it I was sure it dated from the 1700's and Queen Elizabeth probably wore it herself. I know a dork :)
- I have never eaten a hamburger in my life. I have had a tensy bite of one but that is it.
- If I were not in school to become a dentist, in my alternate life, I would be a photographer/wedding planner. I love both of those things but am not necssarily the best at photography but I LOVE IT! A wedding planner the one main reason I would not want to do this is because you have to put up with some craaazzzyyy brides out there. But my friends, I have thought about presenting myself as a coordinator. It is so fun to look at all the stuff and put something together that is so special to two people and something that they will remember the rest of their lives, or so you hope in a positive way anyways.
- When I walk in a crowd of people and I am trying to get somewhere, I look at it like a video game where I have to weave in out of obstacles to get to the finish line. As a result the people I am walking with usually get left in the dust because not only do I normally walk abnormally fast for most people, I am now weaving around people. My sister makes fun of me because when I am in a crowd I have my purst on my shoulder with it swung to the front of me with my arms crossed over it. lol She says I looke ridiculous...I say you won't be saying that when your purse gets stolen off your shoulder.
- I hate having a dirty house. It can get pretty cluttered especially in the middle of a couple of weeks like the last few weeks I had where when I get home I just drop everything and open the books. Cluttered is very different from dirty.
- I could watch football and basketball all day long and never get tired of it. Especially when my family is involved. I love love love watching them play any sport and cheering is what I do best.
- When Troy and I get to the age of retirement we really want to open a coffee/smoothie shop. We have talked a lot about it actually and would love to do that one day if the opportunity presents itself and it is a wise investment at the time.
- I am absolutely addicted to coffee. If I go one day without it I get a massive headache to the point where I can't function. I don't drink that much. I just make my latte in teh morning (with the espresso machine that I bought myself to save money on Starbucks) and I am good for the rest of the day. But that one latte is vital to my happiness and Troy's as well.

Some of my favorite blogs to read are:
Amanda at Chai Am Woman
Christina at Like Mother Like Daughter
Christy at Embracing the Typical
Breanna at Adore Design Studio
Ashley at Three Scobeys
Anneke at The Daffodil Principle II

Love,
The Kossicks
