You, you, you. It's all about YOU!

In a bloggers world of ME-ME's I have decided to create a YOU-YOU!

Each one of you is unique, and I gain something everyday from reading about your life. Here's everyone that I know reads this, at least occasionally, and what I love about them.


*She was my BYU life-saver, we had a blast and reminiscing is always fun.

*Well I mean please, EVERYONE loves this girls humor and friendship. You bring joy to those you touch.

*I wish I had a fraction of this girls likability and talent (so do my kids on their birthdays.)

*I received the loveliest birthday call from this sister-in-law, and she's the mother of my cutest little niece.

*This is where I start to get sentimental, I remember the day she was born and I LOVE HER with every piece of me.

*This awesome lady was a fabulous VT partner and is an example to us all of how to nurture.

*My family literally wants to adopt her son, she's pretty great too.

*Every time I see a creation, I'm amazed. I know those of you who know her agree.

*This gal has taken on a project that I admire so much, it's a generous wonderful thing.

*This extrovert :) pulled the best April Fools prank on me yesterday, I believed the picture of the positive prego test.

*This girl actually showed up at my house about 7 years ago, just had a baby, rubber gloves on, and ready to help clean when I was moving. Now that's service.

*I admire this lovely lady's calm beauty and grace.

*Send this girl some sunshine and warmth, she's in IDAHO. She's fun to be around, not that I've got to very much in the last few years. I remember this really cool scrapbook closet in her old home: I was impressed.

*I appreciate this country music lovin' ladies last post, it really was one I need to remember.

*I have truly been inspired by this thoughtful gal, it only takes a moment to really make a difference.

*I've known this gal for a long time. I was impressed with her about 13 1/2 years ago when I met her and I love her more now. I think it's amazing how our paths have crossed again.

*I wish I could explain this girls encounter with my look-a-like. I appreciated her telling me it couldn't have been me because this look alike wasn't very friendly.

*FAITH and passion for life and all things good make this lovely person a true inspiration.

*She's got Martha Stewarts whole talent for decor in her little finger, and she's brave for moving. I admire that.

*This girl is hands down the most consistent commenter, and we all know comments are fun. I was moved to tears at her most recent post, she has a wonderful heart.

*I love reading about this girls life. It reminds me so much of when I had two little ones at home. Great times!!

*This little gal recently asked me a very, very important question, and I appreciate her asking. Reverence in primary is the most important thing if we want to feel the spirit. Thank you.

*I can't believe all this gal accomplishes, she's got to be so busy, but always has it all together.

*This superiorly friendly girl is full of humor and likeability: I always admire the way she speaks of her spouse.

*I have recently come to realize this girl has talent for detail. It's been a blast getting to know her mind a little bit through this blogging world, she's got humor and a knack for writing.

*This girls going green. I know that if each of us do a little bit, big changes will happen. I needed this.

*Well, she's a great VT partner. I appreciate her example at church; she really treats others with respect and kindness.

*She just got back from sunny cal, she's got a sweet baby boy and lives in the sun: sounds good to me.

*This girl is relaxed and fun: that says it all.

*I can't imagine there is ever a dull moment at this house, they laugh!!

*The most put together person I know: hair, make-up, clothes: precise every time.

*My oldest friend of the whole bunch. When I walked into that dorm room almost 19 years ago she saved me from despair and homesickness. You are AMAZING!!

*I ALWAYS thought this girl was so gorgeous, it's great to reconnect.

*Newest blogger of the bunch. Girl, I CANNOT WAIT to read your thougths.

Thanks everyone, even those who should have a blog but don't. (You know who you are)
Thanks also blog ghost, I know there are a few.

Okay so you're onto me. Love your blog even though it took me a long time to read it all, but I had to know who every single person was. I don't even have a blog but I could guess quite a few of them. There are a lot of awesome people out there with many talents and qualities we can all appreciate. Thanks. Your ghostblogging friend.
