I can't believe that three lovely bloggers nominated me for a Liebster Award all in the same week! Shout out to the lovely ladies who nominated me:
Angela @ Selfless Ambition
Gayle @ Grace for Gayle
Summer @ Simply Summer
Thank you so much! I'm honored that you nominated me!
I hope you'll take the time to check out their blogs!
Here are the rules- Post 11 random facts about yourself.

- You (the nominee) come up with 11 new nominees (no tag backs) and 11 questions for your nominees to answer.

{1} 11 Random Facts about Me- I was in the Army for six years.
- I have 5 tattoos, 6 if you count the one that I had covered.
- I love all things Louisiana...cajun food, the Saints, Mardi Gras, etc. Born & raised in Shreveport, LA!
- My husband and I were married on the same day we started dating a year prior...started dating 2/12/09...married 2/12/10.
- I usually get car sick when I ride in the back seat...and lately, when I ride in the passenger seat too, so I prefer to drive rather than ride!
- My favorite number is 21, my line number when I pledged Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. Oo-oop!!!
- I have an almost two year old labrador retriever named Maci! She's the best dog I've ever had.
- I tend to be a bit of a perfectionist...at certain things.
- My maiden name is Wagner. I miss it some times! My dad had so much pride in his last name. My brother is definitely keeping the family name going with three boys!
- I absolutely love my three nephews!
{2} Okay, I figured you didn't want to know 33 more things about me,
so I chose a few questions from each blogger, for a total of 11!
Angela's Questions- Your fave movie?
- Sister Act 2, but Imitation of Life is a close second. I used to watch Sister Act 2 every night in my dorm room before I started being a party animal!
- Your fave candy bar?
- Do Reese's Peanut Butter Cups count as a candy bar?
- What's your middle name?
- Dionne...but growing up, I convinced some classmates that my first name was Kim and my middle name was Berly. Get it?! Kim Berly Wagner
- Name 1 person in your life that has influenced you the most.
- It's so hard to choose between my mom and my dad...they've both influenced my life so much! If I had to pick one, I guess I would say my mom. She has modeled for me what a Godly woman looks like and it has been amazing to see her faith and positive attitude as she fights breast cancer.
Gayle's Questions- What one item in your house {not person or pet} would you rescue from a fire?
- My Macbook, or iPad, or iPhone...one of those! Probably the Macbook!
- Do you have any phobias/irrational fears?
- I have a phobia of balloons. Well, phobia may be a bit extreme, but I seriously hate balloons. Blame it on childhood experiences at field day.
- Favorite TV show: right now? of all time?
- Right now: Scandal / All time: Fresh Prince of Bel-Air
- Who is your favorite superhero?
- Storm from X-Men. I liked her in the comic book, the cartoon, and the movie!
Summer's Questions- How many pillows do you currently have on your bed? (you can include throw pillows)
- 9 when the bed is made up, which is rare...so I guess the answer is 2!
- If you had to eat one thing for the rest of your life, what would it be?
- My mom's cornbread dressing...I have to clarify that not just any cornbread dressing will do...it has to be my mom's! I know there are some people who agree that all cornbread dressing is not created equal.
- What is your earliest childhood memory?
- I have a horrible memory. I think the earliest I can remember is first grade. I remember it snowing and my teacher, Mrs. Welch, took us outside. I made a snowball and put it in my pocket. I was so disappointed when I got home and it wasn't there.
