I received the Grab A Cup Of Coffee Award

I am very happy to have received the "Grab A Cup Of Coffee" award.

Many of you may be familiar with Rita and her blog, One 2 Try. She is one of the wonderful hosts of Friday Follow. I discovered One 2 Try during my first Friday Follow and I am so glad I did. Rita has a beautiful blog full of fun and interesting posts. If you haven't been to One 2 Try, you are missing out on all of her great reviews & giveaways. You may also enjoy following her weekly progress on the Nutrisystem program. I know I have been curious as to whether or not this actually works, and I can't wait to follow her progress and read her review.

Last week I had some questions about blogging. I couldn't figure out the answers myself and turned to Rita for assistance. She was welcoming and very generous in helping me answer all of my questions. It was very kind of her to take time out of her own schedule to help me. Thank you so much for all of your help and rewarding me with this wonderful award!
