Sweet Bailley @ Lew Party of 2 nominated me for the Leibster Award. Back in December I was tagged for the Sunshine Award, which is pretty similar to this award. I'll be cheating and using some of the same things. :)
In this award, you'll find 11 random facts about myself, 11 questions from Bailley & 11 questions for the blogs I tag. Here we go!
{11 random facts}
1. Hair grosses me out. Not all hair. Specifically if you're staying at a hotel and find hair in the shower...or your bed. Totally, completely grosses me out and I cannot relax the rest of the time I'm there. Weird, I know.
2. I broke my middle finger swinging from a rope swing into the Rio Grande river with Robert...and I didn't even cry. I was trying my best to be tough and impress him. If that happened today, no doubt I'd cry.
3. I had an emergency appendectomy when I was 12 years old...followed by another major surgery 2 weeks later. The Drs said it was a miracle I lived.
4. I have to sleep with a sound machine on ocean waves. Can't sleep without it. I even travel with it.
5. I have only lived without a dog during the years I was at college.
6. I graduated college in 3 years with my degree in Psychology.
7. Vacuuming is oddly relaxing for me.
8. I LOVE coffee. That's probably not a random, unknown fact about me. But if I'm feeling stressed, just enjoying a cup of coffee helps me relax.
9. I only have one sibling, a younger brother.
10. I received my one & only(to date, at least) speeding ticket ON my 17th birthday. Yeah, the cop was NOT so nice. Who gives you a ticket ON your birthday?! LAME!
11. I'm a sucker for Hallmark movies. Yes, the cheesy, predictable Hallmark movies.
{11 questions for me}
1. What is your favorite TV series?
Right now, it's Parenthood! I LOVE that show.
2. Where did you go on your honeymoon?
We went to Playa del Carmen, Mexico. That's my absolute favorite vacation thus far in our life together.
3. What is your favorite blog post you've written?
Last June Robert and I celebrate 7 years of marriage. I wrote a post on some of the things I've learned during those 7 years of marriage.
4. What food could you not live without?
Does coffee count as a food?! It's the one thing I have EVERY day. If it doesn't count, probably chocolate.
5. Fill in the blank: I am most happy when...
My hubby and kids are happy and I'm able to sit down for a minute and just soak up time with them.
6. What is your perfect date night?
Hmm, good question. There isn't one thing, per say, that would make a perfect date night. Being with my hubby, completely focused on each other, is the perfect date night for me.
7. What is a beauty product you cannot live without?
Mascara. Without it, I always look tired and my eyes don't stand out. With it, I look awake and alert...even if I'm not. :)
8. What is your favorite memory from growing up?
Daddy-daughter dates. There is one in particular, it may have been our first one actually, that stands out. It was just my dad and I for a few hours. We had lunch at McDonald's and then went to a local store and he let me pick out a new outfit. I felt like such a princess having my daddy's undivided attention that day and being spoiled like I was. (He's still an awesome daddy and spoils me every chance he gets. :))
9. What is one blog you check daily?
Erin at Blue Eyed Bride. There are lots of others I check daily, too.
10. Beach or the Mountains?
I'm a beach girl, hands down! However, since being with my hubby, I have come to greatly appreciate the beauty of the mountains.
11. What movie did you last see? Your thoughts?
I had a chance to see Son of God before it was released. I really enjoyed it. It left me wanting to dig into the Word and deepen my relationship with Him all the more.

{11 questions from Katie}
1. What is your favorite Christmas movie?
~Probably a tie between Christmas Vacation and Christmas Story. We watch both, countless times, each Christmas.
2. What's the best vacation you've been on?
~Definitely our honeymoon. I've been on other great vacations that I've loved, but that vacation was almost magical. It was our first trip together and we were newlyweds. Amazing!
3. If you could only have your computer or TV for the rest of your life, which would you choose?
~Computer, for sure. I certainly enjoy watching TV (see my #11 random fact) but I spend more time on the computer. Plus, you can watch TV on the computer. Win, win. :)
4. Where were you born?
~Findlay, Ohio. A small town in Northwest Ohio.
5. What is your dream job?
~Honestly, I don't know. I adore staying home with our kids and that was always my dream "job." But I really enjoy photography and if I took some classes, learned a whole lot more and practiced a lot, I think it'd be fun to take pictures as a job.
6. What is the best gift you've ever received?
~Mother's Day 2012, Robert and the kids gave me a picture of their hand prints made into flowers with a verse from Prov 31. I LOVE that gift. In fact, I cried when he gave it to me. It was so incredibly thoughtful of Robert to do that. We were house hunting that spring, and in a home we toured there was a similar picture that we saw and I commented on. He listened, tucked it away in his mind and BAM! blew me away!
7. What are your goals for your blog?
~I'm loving the relationships I'm building with other bloggers. My goal would be continue to grow those friendships and continue meeting new bloggers, while hopefully encouraging others through the happenings of our life.
8. What is a typical daily outfit for you?
~In the winter, jeans and a sweater/shirt. In the summer, shorts and a shirt...or my swimsuit. The kids LOVE to swim and having a pool now, we spend a lot in the water.
9. How did you meet your significant other?
~We met in college through mutual friends.
10. Are you named after anyone?
~Nope. And in fact, my name was supposed to be Stacy Corrine. But the day I was born, my dad looked at me and said "No, this is Kristal Marie."
11. What is your favorite beauty product of all time?
~Well, I don't have a specific brand, but I love mascara. Putting on just a little mascara on really livens up my eyes and face, making me look less tired and more alert. :)
