Fri, 30 Jan 2009 16:39:05 +0000 http://www.marlataviano.com/?p=2925#comment-26360 Hi, I'm Ellen from Ohio. We just moved from Cleveland to small-town living in Northwest Ohio. I've been following your blog for a a few months, though I rarely post a comment on it because I'm pretty shy. I don't have a blog (yet) but have been contemplating starting one about the small town life from the perspective of a city girl. You know how some people follow soap operas or Survivor? Well my husband and I can't live without the sherrif's report in our small town newspaper - it's an absolute riot. You'd have to see it to believe it. I kid you not...in last month's paper someone called in reporting a be-headed squirel in their back yard! ????? Haha! Anyway, what to do with $50? My husband is studying for the CPA exams and I'd probably put the money towards the tests because they are exxxppeeensive! Oh yeah, and I'm also a Cedarville graduate! Hi, I’m Ellen from Ohio.

I am totally addicted to ready your blogs...sometimes I wait til the end of my week to read them all at once. It's then a extra treat:0 Anyways...I went to highschool with you back in the days..and soooo enjoyed our friendship. We were sure goofy together and I will always remember you and feel a special bond. I have a absolutely amazing husband, Matt and 2 precious Boys-MItchell 4 & Miles 2, and one more to make "3". Baby boy Mack is on the way in May. I enjoy your stories about "girls stuff"...I don't know quite what that means in my house:) Ha! We have been married for 5 years. We have amazing family on both sides...and that means the world to us! I love to RELAX...which is very hard for me to do, I am a on the run type of person, and when I do sit down, I fall asleep:) I love also my family, scrapbooking, being outdoors, and laughing til my belly hurts! My favorite color is hot pink today that is, I have many colors I love...depends on my mood. I live in Ohio and if I had $50.00 I would donate it to one of these poor family members that are being layed off due to mayor coleman's misuse of spendings~~~God bless them all during this difficult time~~!

I'm also new to your blog - meeting you through Bigmama's blog. I don't have a blog - I just conveniently lurk and then comment every now and then!! I've been married almost 21 years to my wonderful husband and we have 2 teenage daughters - believe me it's crazy around here at times! I work full-time doing medical transcription from home so I feel like I work 24/7 some days, but reading blogs throughout the day gives me a brief break in the day and almost always makes me laugh and/or love Jesus even more! Outside of those things I like to walk/jog, love to read, watch movies with my hubby, laugh with my girls, and listen to music. My favorite color kinda changes...sometimes green, sometimes blue and sometimes even red, doesn't make sense I know! I'm addicted to facebook, live in Georgia and probably would spend $50 towards a new pair of running shoes!! Hey Marla! I’m also new to your blog – meeting you through Bigmama’s blog.

I am new to your blog, but found it through Big Mama's website and I am so looking forward to reading your books - the blushing bride one, to be exact, as I am a going on 5 months newlywed! I am Kelley, 25 years old, and a Southern belle from SC. Go Tigers! :) I am passionate about my Jesus, my husband, my family, books, writing, decorating, and the best sport ever - SHOPPING! My favorite color is pink, favorite book is To Kill A Mockingbird, and I would probably spend $50 at Target or Ann Taylor Loft (at the sale rack). I'm looking forward to keeping up with you on my blogroll! The site looks fabulous! Yay for awesome hubbies! Hi Marla!

I have a wonderful 3 year old son, Colton, and my husband, Jeffrey, and I have been married for 14 years come Mar. 27. We live in a little community in the north east corner of Mississippi. If you gave me 50 bucks right now I can tell you I would splurge on a really good meal out because I am starving a the moment and food is all I am thinking about. I love Jesus too but I know I don't really please Him most of the time. I am soooooo thankful that He still loves me anyway.

I live in Dallas. I'm passionate about becoming closer to God. I'm much better at that head knowledge thing than the heart thing, but I'm learning. I thank God frequently for allowing me to be a work in progress. I know that I am making strides because I get giddy when He wakes me early (even earlier than my alarm), just so that we can spend time together in the quiet of my house before the chaos starts. I am loving Him more and more everyday and learning to be more comfortable with my emotions. I am a Women's Ministry coordinator at my church, and I adore ministering to women. I feel blessed to be able to give of myself in service to God in a way that I find so enjoyable. I am constantly on the lookout for where God is inviting me to join Him at work. If you look hard enough, you will find Him in the strangest places, looking for you. I am an avid blog reader but not a blog writer. Does it count if I am an avid Facebook user? I think that is as close as I will get, as I am trying so hard to set healthy computer boundaries while I am raising three kids. I enjoy reading so many wonderful blogs written by inspiring Christian women. Thanks for your words of wisdom (and reality)! I used to love blue, but I am beginning to love the color red. I think that is a side effect of me learning to lose my shyness a bit. If someone gave me $50, I would likely put it towards paying down debt. Sometimes, we have to be practical .... (By the way, I love the new look of your blog, and I'm looking forward to being able to keep up with your posts easier at your new location. Yippee for blog readers!) Hi, I’m Amy. I live in Dallas.

I live in Indianapolis, IN with my husband Jon and a cat named Maddie. Jon wrote a travel guide to America's Best Zoos and you met him first at Indianapolis Zoo. I've haven't gotten to meet you yet, but I can't wait when we come to Columbus sometime this spring or summer! You also persuaded me to start a blog (which I try to update, but need to get more in the habit!) I teach first grade and love, love, love it! If I had $50 I would probably go spend it at a teacher store and buy some cool experiments to do with my class. Hi Marla,

I can't wait to get my hands on it! I am Donita. I live in sunny Arizona with my husband and two boys (3yo and 3 mo). I love my family, I love to study God's word, I love to read and I love the desert. I have a little blog because Stephanie at Metropolitan Mama, ironically she made the previous blog comment, persuaded me. Indeed, I love to write about what God is doing and what I observe, but I find that "publishing" something in the blog-world is too labor-intensive...pondering, writing, re-writing, debating, starting over. I'll blame my perfectionist tendancies, but I think it's really just because blogging isn't my thing. We'll see what the future holds!
