This Is Me

I was tagged by Tiffany at Southern Sass to answer  few questions about...drum roll please....who is Ashley. Tiffany is a really sweet wife and mother, but more importantly she is an avid lover of Jesus. I love reading about her heart for the Lord.  Tiffany and the others who have answered this set of questions before me seem to call this questionnaire a Meme. I don't really know what a Meme is, but since I am quite unfamiliar with so many aspects of the blogging world and the bloggyfessionals call it a Meme, then I will too!

Rule for the Meme:

-The rules of the game get posted at the beginning

-Each player answers the questions about themselves.

-At the end of the post, tag 5 friends by posting their names. Leave a message letting them know they have been tagged.

What was happening in my life 10 years ago:

-Life was much simpler.

-I could not even drive, but I was anxiously awaiting my 16th birthday. I was only 6 months from freedom, or so I thought.

-My parents were still married. 

-I'm sure I was crushing on a few boys. One of whom happens to be the man of my dreams. I was yet to find out all the Lord had in store for the girl with the braces and the boy with highlighted hair. 

-Yes I had braces late in life. I do have to commend myself for being great about color coordinating them based on holidays, seasons and school functions. Lame.

-Some of my best friends at this very moment were my best friends 10 years ago. The Lord has been so gracious to bless me with life-long, amazing friends.

5 things on my to-do list today:

-Start a load of laundry

-Get my kids up and ready to drop Noah off at MDO.

-Go to Hobby Lobby and buy supplies for Noah's birthday invitations.

-Help clean Amanda's house while she is at the hospital pushing baby Jackson Luke into the world.

-Take Kayt to the doctor for round 2 of the Rosefferin shot. Lord, please clear up this ear infection.

(In my mind, it's not even noon at this point.)

-Go to the grocery store. We don't even have milk or eggs. I may be there a while.

-Oh, just 5. This is the shortest to-do list I've created in a while!

5 snacks I enjoy:

-Apples with Peanut Butter

-Yogurt with Granola

-Cheese and Crackers

-Trail Mix Bars

-My splurge: Popcorn and a Coke!!!

5 things I would do if I were a billionaire:

-Tithe

-Give Lion Song Ministries a big chunk

-Pay for my kids college education

-Put most of it into a retirement account/invest it

-Buy a family sized car. I would love a new Tahoe! 

I'm a realist and a saver. I have a terrible love for delayed gratification. Plus, there isn't anythings I need that the Lord hasn't provided.

5 bad habbits:

-Not washing my face at night.

-Leaving my shoes laying around wherever I take them off.

-Forgetting that my husband already knows how to drive and that he doesn't need me to remind him of the speed limit and that tickets are bad news.

-Leaving clothes in the dryer too long. I forget I have started them and just leave them in their for hours or days. Sometimes though, I just do not want to fold them so I try to forget they are there. I'm working on it though!

-Interrupting others. Maybe this should be number 1 since it's quite annoying. I don't mean to interrupt, I just get so excited. 

5 places I've lived:

-Amarillo

-Garland

-Lubbock

-Keller

-Althought I've only lived in 4 citites, I've moved 5 times in the past 3 years. 

5 jobs I've had:

-Babysitter

-Worked at a swimming pool concession stand
