My Story, God's Plan: My First Blogging Award!

I am beyond excited that I was nominated for a Liebster Award!

I have seen this award all over the blogging community since I have been more into looking at others blogs and networking!

Melisa over at Missy Homemaker nominated me for this award. I have connected with her through an online blogging class and we are in a blogger group together on Facebook. This blog always has me thinking about the importance of being a Stay at Home Mom and keeps me laughing with her Friday Funny. Check out her blog, you won't be disappointed!

Now, onto the award!

11 Random Facts about Me!:

1. My family lives on land that has been in the family for 94 years! That's a lot of history! It was purchased in 1919 by my great, great grandfather.
