Thank you, Emily of the Marginanlian for tagging me with the Kreativ Blogger Award. Emily and I have a shared love of Billy Collins, particularly the poem Marginalia that I posted awhile back. Not only has she named her blog from this poem but I love the little footnote that she has added:
Inspired by the Billy Collins poem, "Marginalia," about writing in the margins of books that you love, I write in the margins of a life that I love.
love that.
1) Thank the person who nominated you for this award
2) Copy the logo and place it on your blog.
3) Link to the person who nominated you for this award.
4) Name 7 things about yourself that people might not know.
5) Nominate 7 Kreativ Bloggers.
6) Post links to the 7 blogs you nominate.
7) Leave a comment on each of the blogs letting them know they have been nominated.
Ok - I don't typically do this type of stuff but what the heck...
My seven things:
1. America has always seemed a little strange and foreign to me. I feel as though I was born in the wrong country. I feel far more at home overseas, oddly, in most other places I have visited. Given the chance to move back overseas, I could be packed by tonight.
2. I never really ate vegetables until I was an adult. Embarrassing, sad and true.
3. I love my kids so much it hurts, like literally my heart hurts. I love my husband even more. And Jesus even more than my husband. Yep, I have a pecking order.
4. I have a very low relational capacity and it takes a lot for me to feel loneliness. I like having a few close lifelong friends and spending most of my time just with my family. And it seems like I need alone time almost as much as oxygen.
5. We just became #5 on "the list" waiting for a referral for our first adoption. We should be traveling to Thailand within the year to meet the newest member of the family.
6. I've never sewed on a button. Again, embarrassing, sad but true.
7. I am a homebody that loves to travel. After a night in a hotel, I start to consider it "home".

I loved hearing a little more about you! Thanks for the tag - I'll try to add it to my Friday post.
Thanks for sharing your seven random facts and for saying such kind things about my blog! I especially loved how you say you are a "homebody who likes to travel." I completely resonate with that because home is so important to me but seeing the world is also so valuable to a life's education.
What a lovely post for today. I too, love Billy Collins. His words are amazing.
ooo i am honored!

#5 on the adoption list? Holy cow that is completely amazing and wonderful! I'm so excited to meet the newest member of the fam.

I've always been a fan of adoption but ever since my sister's profile was approved, I think about it all the time. I'm excited for you and your family!
Thanks for sharing the award with me.
