Here are the rules of the award from Rachel’s wonderful blog

If you are nominated, you’ve been awarded the Versatile Blogger award.

2. Include a link to their blog. That’s also common courtesy — if you can figure out how to do it.
3. Select 15 excellent blogs/bloggers that you’ve recently discovered or follow regularly.
4. Nominate those 15 bloggers for the Versatile Blogger Award
5. Finally, tell the person who nominated you 7 things about yourself.

Finally, what you have all been waiting for (giggle, he he) Seven Things About ME!  HAR HAR

1. It was my birthday yesterday.  It snowed in the morning and was sunny in the afternoon. I was born in Minniapolis.

2. I am a certified Firefighter 1 and an AK Emergency Trauma Tech.  I volunteer at the local FD.

3. I am in a community theater group, we are putting on a play in May.

4. I went on a deer hunting trip with my ex, two dear friends and well the guy that owned the boat who used to be a friend… the boat sank and we were rescued by a coast guard helicopter.  That was my first helicopter ride.

5. I grew up on farm for part of my childhood and a WW2 era tug for the last part.

6. I want to go bear hunting for brown bear with my boyfriend.  I should pry have my head examined.

7. I am a pretty damn good shot with my rifle, but have only taken one deer and it sunk with the boat mentioned above. I am a new waterfowl hunter and think it is the best thing in the world to sit in cold mud all day waiting to shoot at something that never shows up.  I think I am drawn towards activities that celebrate peace and solitude.

 

I hope you all enjoy your awards and the little tidbits about me!  Thanks and Congrats all at once!
