The Fabulous Blog Ribbon Award for me?


I have been awarded the Fabulous Blog Ribbon award by Kat at
mom-uncensored.blogspot.com



Thank you, Kat. Thank you for taking the time to explore my blog, to know our Chamorro greeting, “Hafa Adai!”--that was impressive and touched me more than you know. It’s good to know my little blog, Guam Goddess in Training can make waves outside of my relatives and friends. So, my numbers have increased by two followers and that is sweet. Also, it's nice that people deliberately check out my blog, and not just because the labels include the words, "Bruce" + "Lee" or "Brandon". (The posts with the most views).

In addition, there is a strange correlation with my real estate search of homes for sale in Granite Falls and this award. I've been researching life in Granite Falls just before Kat (of Granite Falls) bestowed this ribbon on my blog(cue eerie music)…even my husband chuckled when I told him about the Ribbon and where she lives. We Navy Folk have orders to move to Washington State come fall, I digress…(update: Kat is Chamorro!).

  1. Hello Tanya! Hope you are meeting more friends! I just thought I would let you that I am Chamorro as well! Small world, huh? If you moved here, there would more Guamanians. We could take over!

    1. Wow, Kat! Or, should I say, laña! That's so awesome. I've been researching cities in WA to find diversity for my children and my peace of mind. Good to know you are an island sister and yet another sign, Granite Falls would be a good place to settle. Si Yu'os Ma'ase! You rock!
