I've been a very bad blogger, but you love me anyways :)

So I have been stashing my awards away for quite some time now, hiding them in a deep dark draft post. But alas I finally have enough time to properly pass on all of the following awards and partake in telling you 32,048,320,954 bajillion more things that you don't know about me! haha

I'm so thankful for all of these awards, and I apologize for taking so long to do this post! Bad Bad Bad Blogger, I know!

So let's get started!

The first award is the Beautiful Blogger Award! This was bestowed upon me by Steph over at Watching Airplanes! Her blog is a crack up, if you aren't a current read of hers you should become one! She has a pretty crazy neighbor!
