Pinch me...I must be dreaming...

It has taken me a lot longer to get to this post than I wanted (I tried last night at 1 am but was afraid of my proofreading so I stopped)...we have been sick and parading with the butterflies (check back tomorrow for that), but finally a quiet Sunday morning (I cannot believe my 2 year old is still asleep at 11 am) and there is time to get to it. I am amazed at how busy the weekends are!

Here we go...
I am flabbergasted (one of my favorite words...it is just weird, I know!)! I am still new to blogging, but have been lucky enough to meet up with a great group of fellow bloggers. I am amazed at how accepting and friendly this circle of people are. I am so honored to be receiving awards at this early stage of my blogging addiction.

I am (really) horrible at expressing thanks with lots of flowing, lovely words, so I will stick to some tried and true basics...THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU! These awards really do mean the world, and inspire to continue spending endless hours on my computer.

And, so, first...

Lee from Hormones, Headaches & Hot Flashes gave me this first award. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE her blog. She is hilarious and just makes my bloggy day! (See what happens when you are a stalker!). If for some reason you have not checked out her blog...go do it NOW.

This award was created by Matty over at Matty Thoughts and has some rules (see bottom of post). He is a great commenter - they are all so thoughtful, and it is super fun to have a man's perspective on things. Don't forget, check below..I played along with the rules.


WOW... another much appreciated award!
So, I was super, just beyond thrilled to receive one award, but TWO. - I am over the moon. Willougbhy over at This Stop Willoughby has awarded me The Friends Award. Knock me over with a feather (have I used enough cliches yet?). I enjoy her blog very much and she has a ton of great ideas, like this Cocktail Party she is throwing. Yipppeee! Thank you so much Willoughby for bestowing this award on 504 Main.

The rules to this award are:  

*This award is bestowed on to blogs that 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 other bloggers who must choose others to pass it on to and include this *Cleverly-written* text into the body of their award.

It isn't specified how many bloggers I am supposed to pass this award along to...so I am going to take a shot at passing it along to some people whose blogs I enjoy, have continually visited my place, and have been supportive with their comments. There are many many people I would love to pass this along to, but somewhere along the road they have received it...so I would like to say a BIG THANKS to them for visiting my place and commenting and following

1. The MacDonald World 
2. A Full Life 
3. 5thSister 
4. Tattoos and Teething Rings
