I'm A Liebster Award Nominee!

Darlene from My First 5K and More  has nominated little ole' me for a blog award! Thank you, what an honor! If you haven't read her blog go on over there now, she's an angel. Okay this award is a way for bloggers with less than 200 followers, who deserve some recognition and support, to keep on blogging.

Here are the rules...

11 Facts about me...

1. I have never been on an airplane in my life.  Seriously!
2. I have only lived in Oregon, California and briefly in Washington when I was in Job Corp.
3. I was in the Job Corp. for about 2-3 months...horrible experience, which was probably my fault...I was kind of a mess as a teen.
4. As a youngster I was in quite a few private Christian schools and wore uniforms for most of my education.
5. I have always been a book worm...I love to read just about anything but especially true life stories.
6. I ran away from home when I was sixteen and lived with friends until my favorite Aunt and Uncle came and got me and took me to live with them.

8. I once worked as a dishwasher at a truck stop when I was 16.
