Get to know me...

I've been "tagged," that is blog language for now you tell all about yourself to the entire world, or people who read your blog. Here are the questions you have probably seen on other blogs...

What was I doing 10 years ago?
I was about to graduate from high school and attend Auburn University in the fall. It was definitely a busy time. At my school we had a flower girl who was in kindergarten, but I got 2 and one was my cousin (once removed…I think to be technical about it). Elle is now a junior in high school and I am about to attend my 10 year class reunion this weekend. My, how time flies!

5 Things on My To-Do List:
1. Do follow up things from my big church event that occurred yesterday.
2. Hang a bunch of new pictures and art work on the wall
3. Lose 10 lbs before my class reunion (not going to happen but I can dream)
4. Do laundry (always on my list)
5. Finish this list before Abby wakes up!

Snacks I Enjoy
1. 90 calorie Quaker crisps
2. popcorn
3. diet coke, especially around 3:00pm
4. Kashi peanut butter bars
5. Sugar cookies with that yummy icing and sprinkles

Things I Would do if I were a Billionaire
1. Give to my church
2. I would love to be really involved with a couple of charities (I would be awesome on Oprah’s Big Give!)
3. Move to a bigger house
4. Travel through Europe and Africa…why not!
5. Shopping Spree!…oh, and invest.

Bad Habits
1. Can watching reality TV take up all 5?
2. forgetting important dates
3. forgetting people’s names when I have just heard it
4. Teaching Abby to share by giving me some of her snack
5. Using a bad tone of voice…right Brent?

Places I Have Lived
1. 4048 Walnut Gove Circle in Memphis. I lived there for the first years of my life
2. 6406 Old Orchard Cove in Memphis. It was down the street from my junior high and high school which I drove to everyday!
3. In the dorms and northpointe in Auburn
4. Trinity AL when I married Brent
5. Now on Magnolia St in Decatur, AL

Jobs I’ve Had or Have
1. Basketball instructor for around 8 summers-best pay I ever received!
2. Administrative Assistant in Nashville
3. Coordinator of Events and Fundraising in Decatur
4. Radio Sales Executive in Decatur and Florence
5. Director of Communications at my church in Decatur-finally, a job I like.
