Thanks, Lexi!

There's another game of tag going on. Here's my contribution:

20 years ago: I played outside all day, mostly with my big brother and sister. We would explore the woods behind our house, making forts and traps for tress passers. We always had a litter of puppies to snuggle with. I had the worst snaggle teeth and fluffiest hair imaginable (my ugly stage of life). Our neighbor had a cool hill with a swing in his yard, that we spent a lot of time on. I played a lot of Atari (Pitfall and Frogger come to mind). I learned how to draw bubble letters!

10 years ago: I toured the Northwest and Midwestern states with the Young Americans. I was pigeonholed into the Motown, blues, jazz alto solos, which I didn't mind at all! I loved singing and teaching kids from age 3 to 18 about confidence in performing. I made a lot of good friends during this time. I have no idea what any of them are up to now. It's kind of like high school friends: they are so special at the time and your think you are BFF, but life goes on, people move, etc... I grew up a lot during my YA years. It was a great experience.

5 years ago: I was working as the Manager of Jefferson Arms Apartments while Josh was going to LSU. We had a lot of fun, always going to movies, hanging out with friends, just loving life together. There were only 98 apartments in the compex, and we had a lot of old people who'd lived there forever. We had free rent, electricity, water, sewer, AND digital cable. It was a pretty sweet job, only hectic during the first and last weeks of the month.

3 years ago: I was working as a weekend leasing agent at the Warwick so I could be a full time mommy to our little Ayden. We were a new family of 3, and loved every minute!

1 year ago: Little Ian joined our family. By now Josh was finished with school and loving his work, while I was finally able to focus 100% on being a mom/wife.

yesterday: In the morning, I hung out in the front yard with Ayden and Ian. We rode the bike/bike trailor, and hung out with our neighbors. When Josh got back from Frisbee golfing, we had Jimbo over to give us advice on what to do with our shower. We are rennovating our master bathroom right now. That night we hung out at Jimbo and Janel's and ate 16 pounds of crawfish, then played catch phrase. We had a lot of fun!!!!!

today: Josh made me breakfast in bed which started my day of excellently!!!! He made scrambled eggs, toast, sausage, and banana pancakes and a glass of milk! So sweet. Now I'm trying to get ready for church, NOT REALLY, since I'm sitting here!

tomorrow: I plan on working on the bathroom, playing with the boys, and whatever else comes my way. Life is good!

I pass this on to anyone who hasn't been tagged yet. I don't have time to research this.

I loved reading more about you! The 'snaggle teeth' description made me laugh- didn't we all have snaggle teeth at some point?! The banana pancakes sound delicious too. Thanks for playing along! :-)
