What would I do without them?

Blogger memes I mean. Carol at She Lives has tagged me this morning. If you have never visited her site, it is time my friend! She is an awesome lady from Texas (Dallas area to be exact). Well, this tag is similar to the one I had done on My Ligther Side, but hey, this way I can use some of the same answers – hehe.
So here it goes – remembering:

10 Years ago:

• We moved into our first house – ever
• I hoped for a second child
• I worked too many hours and neglected my family
• Was spiritual waste
• Complained living in AZ

5 Years ago:

• By God’s leading and His grace I started leading women’s Bible Study
• Sang in the praise team
• Changed jobs (started working for a church office – PTL no more corporate back-stabbing)
• Our Son started High School
• Learned to accept the fact that I live in AZ

1 Year ago:

• Blogging world was unknown too me (yeah Carol – I had no clue about it either – lol)
• Listened to the Lord to take care of my marriage
• Stepped back from a lot of “public” service in ministry (still do ministry – just not so public any more)
• Our son started his 3rd semester in college (accelerated program)
• Discovered the beauty of living in AZ (God knew what He was doing when He planted us here – lol)

Yesterday:

• Worked 8 hours in church office (Monday-Friday thing)
• Stopped on my way home to pick-up dinner (a daily thing – like my things fresh)
• Read all my favorite blogs
• Did a silly quiz about what kind of pie I am, because I could not draw a little piggy – lol
• Friday night date with my Sweetheart (weekly thing)

5 Songs I know all the words to (I have many, because singing in a praise team, but these are my favorites):

• Amazing Grace
• Merciful Rain

5 Things I’d do with a million dollars:

• Go on a mission trip to the Far East (like Japan or China)
• Pay off the mortgage

5 Places I’d ran away to:

• Into the arms of my Savior
• Into the arms of my Sweetheart
• San Carlos, Mexico
• My Mom in Germany
• My closest friend, Carlene

5 Things I’d never wear:

• Thongs – ewww (I am with you Carol – I like my VS cotton bikinis :))
• A see-through blouse (would have to wear a shirt under it)
• Cloths that are too tight
• Green shoes (it’s just not a good color on me)
• Fake nails (sorry Carol – borrowed again)

5 Favorite toys:

• Game Boy Advance
• PC
• Digital Camera

5 Greatest Joys:

• Jesus Christus (no not misspelled – it’s the German word)
• My Sweetheart
• Our Son
• My Mom (my dad died 14 years ago), my sister and her family
• My friendships – in person & my virtual ones

5 People I tag (okay – this time I will try, because I have been really generous over the last memes and have not tagged. PM you are safe, because you have done so many lately and this one is similar to the one you tagged me with :)):

• Jane (not sure if she will answer though, because she just does one per year – lol)
• Heather (not sure if she does them – never seen one on her blog)
• Blest (hope she does)
• Lisa (would like to know you even better)
• Cindy (a blogger I just discovered and who is currently the hostess to my blog)

So this concludes my meme for this week…Now I have to contemplate on contentment and get my house in order. Have a blessed day ~ Eph2810
