Van Nice Family Journey

Hey Hey look what Crystal bestowed upon me.

Friendship Award

"These blogs are exceedingly charming. These kind bloggers aim to find and be friends. They are not interested in self-aggrandizement. Our hope is that when the ribbons of these prizes are cut, even more friendships are propagated. Please give more attention to these writers. Deliver this award to eight bloggers who must choose eight more and include this cleverly-written text into the body of their award."

Now for my call of duty to pass on this lovely award!

1. Expecting Evangeline -- Gillian is one of my closest friends though it might be hard to believe as we have only met once in person. We have become close sharing special things and our journey's to adoption!!

2. Larkins Place -- I have come to know Amy through a DS board. We have enjoyed a couple weekend get-togethers and she was one of the first people to know that I was pregnant with our son Owen!! I respect this mommologist and she has one of the most special little girls ever whose smile will light up a room!!!

3. The Adventures of Cap'n Jack -- Jack and Josie share a birthday -- a year apart! Julie is one of the sweetest people I know and I have had the opportunity to meet her twice and loved every minute of it!!

4. radakelm -- How ironic it would be that someone that I went to high school with (although she is younger than me lol) and some one I met and worked with long after high school would marry and have such a great family. Actually D sold us our house!! We have become friends through facebook and are looking forward to an adult night out when the weather gets better!

5. The Greenfield Acres -- Michelle and I have a couple things in common. But the one and reason for us being friends are our daughters. She has a little girl that was born the same time as our Josie. We have been friends on-line for almost 5 years now and have met in person once while she visited family. I just love ya Michelle!!

6. The Flege Farm -- Amy and I went to college together at the big W. LOL However we didn't know eachother at college. We met again on a DS board and became fast friends. Our husbands have friends in common and we just love their company. If only we all weren't so busy and we could get together much more often!!!

7. Erin & MaryEllen's Excellent Adventures -- These two mom's are two people that I have never met in person, but love their blog as well as them!! They are wonderful grounded women and I hope to meet them in person some day!!!

8. Waiting for Reese -- McKenna is an amazing person! She is also adopting a little girl from Eastern Europe and I am a little jealous because she will get to hold her baby before we will (probably). I have met McKenna and she is absolutely the sweet person that she appears! Can't wait to see pictures of you holding your sweet Reese!!!
