Ok so first off I am SUPER excited that I got not one but 2 blog awards. NEVER thought that would have happened,well maybe I dreamed of an honorable mention ribbon at some point during my dabbles with making my blog pretty :) Jessica (were basically family) from lovefromtexas.com passed the awards downt to me. I must say that her blog was the main inspiration for mine. She is so very crafty and I only WISH my blog was as awesome as hers but hey Im working on it :) So as for nominating bloggers I only have a few I am following at this time so im kinda gonna steal Jessicas idea and award everyone with both (i dont think I have a combined 17 blogs to seperate the awards so sorry Im really not trying to cop out. OH and as far as linking the blogs of my winners um yeah so I am not the blog savy yet and dont really think I have the mind power to figure it out right now so I will post the names, as I have them listed under blogs I am following and well you get the drift (just go over there and click on them to view. Got it> Ok so lets get started....

Ten Things that make me Happy:
1.) MY SON- he is the light of my life and my days are no longer complete without him in them.
2.) My relationship Im building with God this year. A New Years resolution of mine was to start a daily devotional and to start reading the Bible so far I have started the Daily Devotionals and I am trying to decide where to begin my journey through the Bible...baby steps! Its amazing what you hear when you stop and listen....
3.) My husband is also another amazing man in my life. Not only is he an amzing hubby but he is such an awesome Dad to our son Will. I could not ask for more.
4.) Photography- I LOVE taking pictures and editing them. I have always had a passion for photography but it is just recently that I have let my self get completely lost in it. I start classes in feb. and I cannot wait. My dream is to one day do that for a living (opposed to being a nurse, or atleast become a prn one lol) pretty lofty goal but hey at this point I just feel that it is the gift God gave me R
5.) Sushi...ooooooohhhhhh how I love the redbird roll from SPR. I wish i had the funds to eat it every day bc believe I could!
6.) Retail therapy-every girl loves shopping right. I use to love shopping for myself but now I love shopping for Will. I try not to go too crazy but who are we kidding we dont leave target without atleast one toy everytime we go haha.
7.) Having a great job and a roof over my head-yeah I know this should definitely be a little higher on the list but lets just say this list is not in any specific order how about that :) My family is very fortunate to have what we have. It may not be much to some and it may be "beyond means" to others but its just right for us and for that I could not be happier.
8.) Starbucks-need I say more
9.) Red Bull- I am OBSESSED with this magical little happy juice. I think I atleast drink 2 a day...is that a bad thing????
and last but not least
10.) Friends and Family- where would I be without these wonderful people who keep me going everyday. I am so very lucky to have all the wonderful people I have in my life from my mom to my husband and child to my in laws to my best girl friends. I AM trully blessed!

now to 7 things that are interesting about me
This could be a tough one I dont consider myself all that interesting but here goes nothing
1.) I have grey hair and I am only 28 what the heck. And I am not talking one grey hair I am talking like a lot to the point where I am going to be going blonde again this week hopefully. My child isnt even bad yet am I going to be nicknamed the silver lady by all his friends aaaggghhhh!
2.) I have 3 dads...really I do. And I love them all dearly. There is my biological father, my first step dad (my sisters dad, and then my 2nd step dad(Bill) they are all awesome!
3.) I was a Redbird Redhot back in the day (when the thought of getting into a way to short and tight cheerleading uniform use to sound like a good idea) I did this from 2000 to 2005. It was a lot of fun if even baseball isnt suppose to have cheerleaders we had fun dancing out there on the field.
4.) Speaking of cheerleading I was a member of the 2000 National Championship winning Craigmont Chief Co-Ed Cheer Squad. Those were the best four years of my life and winning the national title my senior year was a perfect endingvto my highschool years. I later cheered for the U of M but college cheering wasnt for me ( I quit twice) yeah I know quitters suck but under the circumstances (Sherri, 5'9' and 130 lbs and running fat laps, and failing classes with no competition future in sight) wasnt the cheerleading I knew and loved.
5.)I totally fit in the same boat with Jessica (the girl who gave me this award) I cannot get out of Target without spending 100 bucks! I mean what is up with that!
6.)I went to college for 8 years and I only have 1 degree. I dont know if this is interesting or depressing but I started out at the U of M and after attempting my hand at a few different majors I quit school their and started nursing school at Baptist College of Health Sciences where I graduated in Dec of 2007 with a BSN in nursing. I love only working twice a week :)
and lastly
7.) If I am couting correctly and by that I mean this number could be more but it is late and my brain isnt workign all that great but I have had 9 cars since I was 16
celica, civic,cougar,jeep,saturn,scion,g6 convertible,envoy,yukon. Ridiculous right. REst assure that this yukon is gonna stick with the Bousson family till the wheels fall off. We could probably own our house by now with all the non sense car notes I have had and I am pretty sure that I am missing one care but I cant put my finger on it so for now 9 it is.
Hope you learned a little about me from this blog haha
