I'm super humbled and honored to have been nominated for the Stylish Blogger Award from Elizabeth of The Mustard Ceiling last week. I'm relatively new to the blog world and have been enjoying every minute of it, especially the opportunity it has provided to "meet" some amazingly talented people with similar interests.
Thanks Elizabeth!
In the tradition of the award, here are 7 things you probably didn't know about me...
1. I'm the eldest of 3 kids. My brother and sister drove me crazy growing up, but now they are my best friends.
2. I'll eat just about anything. My most adventurous food yet might be alligator. (Which by the way, tastes like chicken.)
3. When I was 25 I quit my job and my grad school program, left my friends and family, and moved across the country to live in San Francisco where I didn't have a job waiting and knew only one living soul. Looking back, I wonder where I found the courage to do this.
4. I met my husband on a blind date.
5. My husband's name is Chris, my brother's name is Chris, and my brother-in-law's name is Chris. Makes for some creative nicknaming at family gatherings.
6. I honestly believe that my dogs are small people covered in fur.
7. Despite a fear of heights, I hiked Yosemite's Half Dome.

Thanks Carrie! I'm honored! I'm right there with you on #2!
Thanks so much. Love your 7 things- I too am the eldest of three, eat anything-my favorite food is uni (sea urchin), adore dogs, and hate heights. Beth of Chinoiserie Chic
Aw, shucks. Thanks for the award, Carrie. :)
I loved reading your seven things. I've eaten crocodile, and I agree: tastes like chicken.
Thank you Carrie- my first award, that is a big deal for me!!! I get weak in the knees just looking at that Yosemite picture. You're a hard act to follow!
Congratulations, Carrie! You are so deserving of this award! I enjoyed learning 7 new things about you. I'm off to check out the bloggers you gave the award to! :)
Congrats on the recognition and that is a cool list! I would definitely not have the courage for the things on your list! Yikes! I'm pretty sure I just moved (only 6 1/2 hours from my hometown mind you) and it was with my hubby and two kids and it was *still* hard! (c:
Carrie, thank you so much! And it's so great to get to know a little more about you!
Yay! Congrats! Thanks so much for being a sweetheart and leaving me a comment today!!
I have to know, which was scarier, the climb or moving to SF not knowing a soul?
Carrie, email me ccheskey@yahoo.com when you get a chance. I want to invite you to a local party (and mini blogger meetup) -- though I'm not sure exactly where in NE you are...hope you can make it!
Hi Karen,
Lol. That's a good question. The climb was scarier, I was afraid I'd pass out from fear and fall off the side of the mountain!
Congrats on the award...love learning more about you!!
Great list Carrie, I enjoyed learning more about you. I can't believe you hiked Yosemite's Half Dome, that is very adventurous :). I'm off to check out the blogs I don't know.
Congratulations. So awesome about Half Dome ...don't think I could do it but I love hiking all around Yosemite and Mammoth Lakes (my husband works there).
Following you.
Congratulations, Carrie, on your Award! It's always enjoyable checking in on the progress you are making with your home! From my perspective, everything is moving along just perfectly as you carefully consider each new addition!
