My first honest award!

My fellow "blogger" friend Lauren gave me my first blogger award! Please check out her blog here: http://laurenalexis1.blogspot.com/ She is a Christian and as inspired me in so many ways, So thank you Lauren!

I am supposed to share 10 honest things about myself and then nominate 7 other people for the award (then comment on their blog to tell them about it, of course!)

1) I grew up in foster care since I was 7 years old, and consider my foster parents my "parents". I do however know my birth parents. With my birth family and foster family I have 9 brothers and sisters

2) I am scared of human germs. Although it was much worse years ago, I still find it difficult to do certain things. I hate opening doors, touching money, I wont use straws that dont have a plastic cover on them, I really dont like public washrooms, and I always have my purell on me at all times.

3) I worry about everything. I have always been this way, and I know it drives hubby up the wall sometimes ;-)

4) I can be very indecisve at times. And therefore I find it very difficult to make up my mind, and am always second guessing myself.

5) I love God and wish I was a better Christian\

6) I really really like i know this is not that huge of a 'honesty' remark, but its true! I remember the first day I got it I couldnt stand the keyboard on it, and now I love it!

7) I love photography and am very inspired by my close friend who is a photographer and hope one day to follow in her footsteps.

8) I was very shy growing up. It wasnt until highschool that I started to open up a bit. I think this is part of why I love being behind a camera. I can still be part of whats going on, however I am not the one everyone is looking at

9) I got to breed a cow for the first time yesterday!! It was a little gross but still pretty awesome too

10) I wish that I could sometimes open up to my friends IRL as much as I open up to you guys on my blog...
