10 years ago I was..... I had just started my senior year at Centenary College in Shreveport, Louisiana. Scott and I were engaged and had started planning our wedding. I was also in the process of applying to occupational therapy school.
5 years ago I was...... Desperately wanting to get pregnant. We were about to start the fertility work up and two weeks later I found out I was pregnant with Mary Ella. I was working as a pediatric OT in Shreveport, Louisiana and Scott was in his 3rd year of medical school thinking he would do OB/GYN.
1 year ago I was...... Starving myself in an attempt to continue nursing Addy and fixing meals for our dog who had chronic pancreatitis. We finally decided to keep Addy on prescription formula and 3 1/2 months later I found out I was pregnant once again proving God does always bring good out of seemingly challenging situations.
Yesterday I ..... set up a thorough Merry Maids house cleaning before this baby comes (a wonderful "mommy" gift from my mother). Otherwise, we had a very routine day...playing with the girls, doing a couple of laundry loads, picking up, making a Walmart run, etc...
Snacks I enjoy..... French fries, Reeses peanut butter cups, any sort of cake/bread/brownie I can get my hands on, Oreos, Oreo blasts from Sonic, queso and chips, a snack mix my roommate in college use to get from her sister (yes, Katharine, I still think about it!)
What I would do with $100 million .......I can't even comprehend this amount of money, but....I would like to think I'd give a lot of it away to people/groups God led me to. I think I would reserve some for a quiet little cabin in the middle of nowhere (no phones, no computer, no tv) preferably with some sort of running water by it and a big porch. Oh, and buy my husband the best LSU season ticket holder seats available.
Bad Habits I have.....I "crack" my knuckles, don't exercise like I should, and sometimes I clearly remember handing something over or saying something to Scott that I haven't getting frustrated with him when he doesn't know what I'm talking about. Let the record show that maybe 1/10 times my memory is right (not very good odds, are they??) Yes, my mind plays tricks on me.
Things I like to do....Sing and absorb worship music, listen to my girls talk and giggle (even though I can't understand everything Addy says, her sister sure seems to), Read and absorb Biblical passages and poetry, talking girly stuff with my friends, having "date nights" with my husband, getting some one on one time with each of my girls, tucking them in at night after they are sound asleep, cooking breakfast on Saturdays, spontaneous treat runs, making meals to take to others, surfing the internet, I could go on and on.
Location I would run off too.....Any vacation place...we haven't been on vacation since the Summer of 2000. Scott's recent conference at the Hyatt was pretty close (for me at least!), but I'd at least like to have us all relaxing and having a good time.
Biggest JOY of the Moment.....Being a wife, mom, daughter, sister and friend. I am so blessed to be surrounded by so many people I love and who love me for who I am. Of course in this moment we are all eagerly anticipating the upcoming arrival of Miss Molly Kate (two weeks from today).

Lordy, Court! You still think about that??? Will have to send you some when I start getting my holiday snack making in gear. I still giggle when I think about how each one of us had their preferred snack item in the snack mix.
