I've been tagged!

My sweet friend, Lacie, tagged me on a few 'remember-when's', so here goes...

1.What I was doing 10 years ago- September 1997: I was just beginning my master's program in Marriage & Family Therapy and living in Searcy, Arkansas. Jason and I had just been dating a couple of months when I started. He was living in Searcy as well and working his first job as a controller for a Hardwood Flooring plant down there. We were both busy back then with work and school but still found time to be together. I'm sure I was enjoying the fall weather in Searcy back then. I sure miss the fall season....

2. Five years ago was September 2002: Jason and I had just moved to our house in January of 2002 after having lived in Deer Park for two years. I was so excited to be in Clear Lake--close to everything. Of course, I may still be a little to close to the mall (can you ever be too close to shopping?:)

One year ago September 2006: This was a time of both good and bad remembrances. It was the one-year anniversary of my mother's death, but also the month of my dear Layton's one-year birthday--it was a bittersweet time. I think we also had flown up to spend the end of September with my family at the annual family reunion in Missouri. I'm sure we were sitting under the walnut trees at my dad's farm listening to bluegrass music. Did I mention my extended family is into bluegrass? Shocker isn't it?!! Anyway, it feels like you are living back in the turn-of-the-century when you go back there--very peaceful.

4. Yesterday, September 18: I was at Mother's Day Out teaching yesterday. Nothing eventful there, but Ashlyn and I did get to spend some one-on-one time in the evening. We went to the library and got'special treats' at Walgreens after we were done. 'Special treats' by the way, is my code name for chocolate. And yes, I do love them!

5. Snacks I enjoy: Chocolate (really any kind but most recently the Take5 bars--they are so yummy!) Swiss cheese and crackers, Godiva chocolate cheesecake from the Cheesecake Factory (ok--I guess its not really a snack, more like a meal!:)

6. Things I would do if I suddenly had $100 million dollars: Where do I start? I would probably pay off all of our student loans, house, etc., give money to the church, help my dad and sister pay off any debts they may have, give money to aid in Scleroderma research and then travel, travel, travel (see below).

7.Locations I would run to: Disneyworld (a big blow-out vacation for the kids!), the Philippines (to see where my mother grew up), and any country in Europe.

8. Bad habit I have: Complaining and worrying!! Need I say more?

9. Things I like doing: Blogging (of course!), running, playing as a family at the playground, the beach, or wherever! Going on family vacations (of course, we haven't been on one lately, but when we do get to go--I like them!:), spending time with my friends, going out on dates with Jason, and laughing (a lot!)

10. Biggest Joy of the Moment: Laying in bed with my kids before they go to bed and talking to them about their day. Its so great that they are both in a conversational stage where they can talk to me. Of course, they are still little so it is quite humorous at times! I want to treasure these moments forever!

Thanks for the tag, Lacie!

I tag my sister, Jackie, next. You're it!
