No. I did not pay her.
Gin, it was awesome to come back from my trip to my first Blogger Award! 
Thank you! 

I have been following Life as Topher's Mama for a few months now however, we've been in the same social circle for about 7 years and didn't even know it! Topher's Mama will be making an appearance on City Life to Ranching Wife soon! Stay tuned for that.

In the meantime hop on over there and read her blog for a good laugh, inspiration and fun daily reading.

By accepting this award you promise to do the following:
1. Post linking back to the person that gave you the award
2. Share 7 random things about yourself

7 Random things about me.

1. I can and have (many times) eaten a box of croutons as if they were chips. 
Not just any croutons, they must be Mrs. Cubbison's croutons.
*I admit - I stole this from Google images.

2. My fear of failure hinders me from attempting a lot of things.

3. I will spend my last dollar on a plane ticket to anywhere. 

4. The first thing I put on after a shower are a clean pair of socks. 

5. I open doorknobs with my shirt. 
Can you say germaphobe?!

6. I have an insane case of paranoia. If people whisper I always think they are talking about me. Always.

7. I laugh at all of my jokes. 
I might just be the only person in the world that thinks I'm funny. Oh well!
