Here is how the Versatile Blogger Award works:
1) thank and talk about whoever gave you the award
2) share 7 facts about yourself.
3) give the award to 7 other bloggers who rock!
1. I am 100% Italian. Both sides of my family are from the same area in Northern Italy. Andy and I were lucky enough to travel there 4 years ago with my parents, and visit the town where my family is from. It was an amazing trip!
2. I have no sense of direction. I hate when people tell me to go north/south/east or west. I seriously have no idea what that means. It's actually amazing that I ever get anywhere new. Thank goodness for my Gar*min. I'd literally be lost without it!
3. I have known I wanted to be a special education teacher since my sophmore year in high school. One of my teachers, Mr. Schneider, told a few of us we should help out in the special ed. class during our study hall. I did and I loved it. 12 years into teaching, and I still love what I do. Even though my dream job is to be a stay at home mom, I really can't complain. My job is rewarding, and I have some great students.
4. Andy and I have been together for 15 years. We started dating in college after a late night and an after party. We've been through it all together, and I'm so lucky that he is my husband.
5. After college, I traveled around Europe with my roomate and best friend. It was an amazing time and we saw so much. It is truly an experience I will never forget, and I'm so glad we were able to go together.
6. When I was young, we had a pet bird named Drib. My father named it...it's bird spelled backwards.
7. I am addicted to chewing gum. I have been for years. I feel very uncomfortable without it, even though I know all the chomping and popping drives some people crazy. My current favorite is Tri*dent peppermint Splash.
I am supposed to pass this along to a bunch of other people, but I think everyone I know has been picked. Feel free to nominate yourself and let us get to know you better!

I loved learning more about you! I found it interesting that you are 100% Italian, I'm (literally) 99% German. I am a big fan of gum myself, which is probably why Spencer is as well... and I stash it everywhere... mostly for comfort. ;-)
Interesting facts, Kara! I can totally relate to #2 (as you probably know) and also have no clue about directions. That's why we are bad in a car together--even with a GPS! ;)
I love these awards being passed around and giving me the chance to get to know everyone a bit better. :)
I am the absolute worst with directions too! I'm even so bad that when I go to the mall and come out of a store, I forget which direction I just came from! And love the name your dad gave your bird! Very funny!
What a great list! I loved hearing about "drib" - ha! I am also directionally challenged and am addicted to gum. I guess there are worse things to be addicted to, right? :)
i loved reading these things about you too! wow that you are 100% Italian! that's so cool - and not many people can say that nowadays!
Totally agree w/you about the N/S/E/W thing...um, tell me things like 'turn right by the starbucks' if you really want me to get where i'm going.
Drib - ha!
Um, why am I only now learning that you had a pet bird?! And his name was Drib - hilarious!
I loved reading this list! So interesting that you are 100% Italian and traveled Europe. I'm not good with directions either. And I think it's so cool that you became a special ed teacher.
