I was tagged by my friend Faith. It took me a while to respond. Sorry Faith! With my niece here all week, I just didn't have a lot of time to blog.
Anyway...here it goes...
1. What was I doing 10 years ago?
Let’s see… I had just graduated for high school. I attended a very elite, private school here in Charlotte. I graduated with honors and at the top of my class.-- I was homeschooled =)!
2. My Favorite Snacks
Is ice-cream considered a snack? I love Eddy’s Loaded Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Ice Cream! It’s the best. I’m notorious for eating all the cookie dough out of the carton and leaving the ice-cream!
3. Five things on my to-do list today
1. Clean my house because the girls in the college group from church are coming over tonight for dinner!
2. Go to the grocery store.
3. Laundry!!!!!
4. More Laundry!!!!
5. Work on my Sunday school lesson for Sunday. I’m teaching preschool group time!
4. Things I would do if I were a billionaire
I would most definitely tithe! Then, I would pay off our debt and that of each of our family members. I would set up an adoption fund for families who want to adopt, but need funds to do so. I would buy a beach house and a boat for my husband. I would probably hire a personal chef and a maid. I would then go SHOPPING!!!!

3. I love to yard sale! You never know what treasure you might find.
4. I can’t sing at all. No, not a note! I wish I could though, I really do!

9. People I tag are.........
I normally don’t make special desserts for just us. One of the reasons is because I’m the one who would end up eating most (ALL) of it! As I was reading Kelly’s Korner today, she blogged about this recipe for strawberry oeey gooey cake. I checked the recipe out and my mouth began to water. I decided that it looked too delicious not to make, so I jumped up from the computer and went to see if I had all the ingredients on hand. I did! Everything but the strawberry cake mix, but I had a white one, so I thought that would do just fine. (I also added blue berries to mine. The recipe only calls for strawberries). Let me tell you… I was not disappointed!!
This dessert is AWESOME!!!!! I wanted to forget dinner and just dive into this dessert.
It’s that good!
Even my husband, who is quite the critic, and not really a huge sweets fan, LOVED it!!!!!
He told me that this one was a real keeper!
Both boys were up before dawn on Sunday morning. Corban came into our room about 4:00am. We were too tired to carry him back to his bed, so Shane told him to just crawl into bed with us. He fell back to sleep right away. It wasn’t even a half hour later that I heard Riley get out of bed. He didn’t want to miss out and he joined us in our bed too! I tried very hard to fall back to sleep, but little feet were everywhere. I had feet kicking me in the back and feet in my face!! I took the hint and went to the guest room to sleep.
When I got up this morning, I snapped this picture!
