Versatile Blogger Award

LeAnn of PasqueFlower bestowed an awesome blogger award to me recently! I love reading LeAnn's blog and love reading the comments she leaves for me here on my blog :) It was an honor to receive this award from her!

One of the requirements of receiving this award is to share 7 facts about myself. I hope you'll enjoy learning some fun new things about me :)

1. My "real job" is a machine operator in a factory that makes semi transmissions. I have worked there for almost 10 years!
2. My little family consists of my boyfriend Jesse and our furbaby Harley.
3. I have lived in the same town my entire life.
4. I was named after my great-great aunt Edith.
5. I have a strong type-A personality and like things to run on a schedule and as planned...but my crafty side still thrives :) Best of both worlds I guess?
6. I wanted to be an airline attendant when I was younger. I always thought I'd travel the world.
7. Until I was 21 years old, I didn't really like the color pink and my favorite colors were blue and yellow. When I turned 21, my favorite color somehow became pink...followed by purple and teal!

Another requirement of this award is to bestow it upon 15 other bloggy friends. After looking at all the blogs I wanted to award, most of them had already been selected. So I'm leaving this up to my readers. If you read my blog and I stop by your blog, you know I think your blog rocks. If you'd like to join in, blog about the award and leave us 7 facts about yourself and pass along the award to other deserving bloggers :)

Me...By the Numbers

Back in November, I did an ABCs of Me post. I got such a great response from this post that I thought a By the Numbers post would be just as fun! Get to know me a little better...by my numbers :)

• 1...# of ER visits. (I tried to cut my finger off with an xacto knife...all better now.)
• 2...# of times I've been out of the country (Mexico with a school group and The Bahamas with my parents...both were amazing!)
• 3...# of dogs Jesse and I have owned (Sidney, Bo and Harley)
• 4...I have a 4 year degree in Business Management
• 5...# of cats we currently have (Momma Kitty, Chevy, Tiger, Junior and Keystone)
• 6...64 is my favorite # (cheated a little here...LOL!)
• 7...A # I always play on roulette. (My birthday is April 7th...so I always do a 4/7 split :)
• 8...# of years we have owned our home.
• 9...# of years I have been employed at my current job.
• 10...# of years I've been out of high school. (Wow! Has it been 10 years already!)
