An Anniversary and An Award

Yesterday was my parent's 23rd anniversary! I just wanted to say Happy Anniversary mom and dad! I am always so grateful to have their love and marriage as an example in my life.  They are both wonderful people and their relationship is wonderful.  I love you guys!

Also, yesterday, I was given another award from Ellen B Cookery! Ellen has a fantastic site and she always has the kindest things to say.  Her recipes and photos are fabulous and this was a huge honor to be nominated by her! She nominated me for the Addictive Blogger Award.

Here are the rules:

1. Thank the person who nominated you and link back.
2. Share a little bit about why you started blogging.
3. Copy and paste the award to your blog.
4. Nominate 10 other Addictive bloggers and let them know!

I started blogging because I was bored in November.  No, seriously.  I have been cooking and baking my way through to college for a while and I was using my Facebook to share some of my creations.  Then, my buddy Max suggested I get a blog instead.  So, I did.  Max even helped me come up with the name! On the same day I published my first post, I also got my cartilage pierced (which later got infected and taken out) and had a Thanksgiving dinner party with my learning team at school.  So, as you can see, I was just bored and looking for stuff to do.  Now, I am so grateful to have this outlet to share recipes and stories.  It is amazing how my world has expanded through this and I have learned so much.  My passion has only grown :)
