We're BACK!! (Plus a TAG)

Hi everyone!! Sooo much has been going on...see all the posts below!! We are glad to be back home even though it's always hard to leave family. :( Also, we're so thankful to hear that everyone's okay after all the bad weather y'all had recently!! Ginny, we heard about your little adventure...goodness!! I would have been freaking out! The Lord was with you!

Also, we're so thankful that God protected us as we traveled and that Conner did so well! We left Wednesday night to get a jump start, intending to stay the night in a hotel. However, Conner was SOUND asleep and David and I felt okay enough to keep driving...so we did, ALL the way!! We surprised his family by arriving Thursday morning!:) I was nervous about traveling home yesterday since it wasn't during Conner's "sleep" hours, but he couldn't have done better, REALLY!! He had one little meltdown at about the half-way mark, so we took the next exit to stretch. Other than that he slept, played with his toys, or babbled the entire road trip! When we got home, he was a slap happy little boy FULL of energy, so we all three got on the floor and PLAYED, PLAYED, PLAYED!!! We kept him up until about 10:00PM last night so that he would sleep good...and he did!! He woke up at 7:30AM. We are SOOOO proud of him and realize how fortunate we are to have such a TERRIFIC TRAVELER!;)

Well, I've been tagged and should go ahead and follow through with it now cause I have a feeling there won't be much computer time in the next few days...BUSY, BUSY!!!

Five things I would do if I were a billionaire:

1. GIVE, GIVE, GIVE!!!! To whom much is given, much is required!

2. Travel around the world with my family

3. Invest into CDs, savings, college funds, etc.

4. I would shop the same..I LOVE a bargain and just can't see wasting money on high end, "name-brand" stuff...unless, of course, it's a DEAL! I would, however, buy me a NICE, NEW car and a gorgeous house!!!

5. We would fly to see our family once a month...or better yet, move them all close to US!!

Five bad habits:

1. I'm a stress bucket!

2. I'm also a PROCRASTINATOR, but strangely enough...

3. I become an IMPULSIVE PERFECTIONIST when I finally decide to do something!

4. Reality TV

5. Leaving UNFOLDED clothes around way too long until they become so wrinkled that throwing them in the dryer doesn't work, and you have to get out the lovely iron!!! I do NOT like to fold clothes, and neither does David! (I would add get a maid to the billionaire list!)
