Here's how this one works...

  1. The rules are posted at the beginning.
  2. Each player answers the questions about themselves.
  3. At the end of the post, the player then tags 5 people and posts their names, then goes to their blogs and leaves a comment, letting them know they’ve been tagged and ask them to read your blog.

What I was doing 10 years ago:

  1. Majoring in Music Education at WKU
  2. being an HFC (Hilltoppers for Christ)
  3. living at home
  4. not dating Jared (we were "just friends")
  5. preparing to spend the summer in Honduras and transfer to Harding in the fall

Five things on my to do list for today:

  1. Take Jack to school (in 20 minutes!)
  2. Go to the grocery (unless I'm okay with running out of toilet paper today)
  3. Take a shower
  4. Go to Angie's for lunch
  5. Do laundry (so the kids will have school clothes for the rest of the week!)

Things I would do if I were a billionaire:

  1. Buy Jared a farm and a couple of fast cars
  2. Get a bigger house (not ridiculous, but with more bedrooms and a big dining room)
  3. Buy my parents and in-laws their dream homes
  4. Finish funding college and retirement for all of our family (including future nieces and nephews)
  5. Give lots of money to Baxter to do the things Mom mentioned
  6. Give lots of money to Barquisimeto, Venezuela, church, Grandview church(Hispanic church in Nashville), and Woodbine church (inner city Nashville)
  7. Adopt a bunch more children, and hire people to clean house, cook, etc so I could just be the wife/mom (and blog)! (That sounds good even if we didn't add any more children!)
  8. Personal masseuse!! (Good idea, Mom! Probably at the top of my list too!)

Three of my bad habits: (I'm glad this was limited to 3!)

  1. Being late
  2. Yelling (in anger/frustration, when I'm excited, when I'm too lazy to walk to the next room to communicate)
  3. Biting my fingernails (and passing that on to my daughter! Argh!!)

Five places I have lived:

  2. McCloud Claims Service (secretary)
  3. various marching bands (brass/marching/field commander instructor)
