A walk down memory lane...

Thanks to my sweet friend Annie, I have been tagged. I will answer some questions about myself and hopefully you will enjoy getting to know me a little better! Then, I tag 5 people to do the same! Here goes......

What was I doing 10 years ago......
I was four months away from celebrating my first year of marriage. Hubby and I were adjusting to married life. Decorating our home, planting flowers in the flower beds, planting Bradford Pear Trees and Magnolia trees. Dreaming of what our future would hold. Thinking of what it would be like to take on the next role of parenting. Life was so full of possibility! Painting any and every room in our house. Steve and I are both, thank God, the kind of people who like a project finished. We spent many nights finishing rooms we began painting earlier in the day. We ate dinner around 9 pm, rather than the new 5-6 pm we do now. Life was truly different than it is today!

5 Things on my to-do list today......
1.Select our clothes for family pictures tomorrow.
2.Feed the kiddo's!
3.Laundry - I've never done so much laundry ever ever ever! 10 years ago I could do all of our laundry in one 3 hour period per week. Today - another load appears before the clothes are out of the dryer.
4.Buy Pepperoni for a small group meeting tonight. Yes, pepperoni - we are making pizza! :)
5.Praying I will overcome the temptation to speak any idle words today. I want my words to be life giving and not random words just for the sake of speaking! (this is a daily prayer!!)

5 Snacks I enjoy......
1.Blue Bell ice cream....although this isn't my #1 vice it is the best ice cream ever!!!
2.Chips and Salsa, Chips and Salsa, and Chips and Salsa - homemade salsa my hubby makes! The best! I could eat this all day long!
3.Chocolate Cake with Chocolate Icing!
4.Strawberries!!!!
5.Cheddar Chex Mix - it is not a super fave but it is what I can think of at the moment.

5 Things I would do if I were a billionaire.....
1.Tithe and give to ministries.
2.Buy the home we've dreamt of - not talking super lavish but the one that suits our needs.
3.Follow God's nudge as to who to bless and how!
4.Save and Invest.
5.Have fun living life and following God's nudge of His plan for the $!

5 Bad habits.......
1.Doubting myself.
2. Due to lack of organized space (yes I am blaming space and not me) - I have piles. I know exactly where everything is but this drives my hubby CaRAZY!!!!!
3.It takes me at least a year to read through any book, unless it is a current study with a group. I start book A then hear about how great book B is and while I haven't finished A, I get mid-way through B and have the nerve to start book C. This goes on for sometime and then I won't allow myself to read anything else until I finish them all.
4.I want to be spoiled by hubby but I don't always want to return the favor. I think I have occasional princess-itis. I think this is a bad habit I only display with hubby but I still like to feel like a princess from time to time.
5.I want to create the perfect connections and the perfect environment for my kids - sometimes I take this on as my sole job and forget that God has a much bigger and much better plan than I could ever imagine. I forget to consider that He IS in control and I can rest in that and before I know it I find myself busy striving with this area. This is a big issue I role in and out of on a regular basis. I pray I will let God have full control and take my hands off before I really get in the way!
