Tag! Your It...

Rule #1: the tagged person must write their answers on their blog and replace any question they dislike with a new question formulated by themselves.
Rule #2: tag 4 people to do this quiz; they cannot refuse (ok, so nothing bad will happen if you don't participate but I would love to see your answers). The tag-ee must state who tagged them.

4. What helps to pull you out of a bad mood?
My husband loving on me and just talking to him, as well as praying that God would change my attitude, or how I'm looking at the situation. Singing I've got the joy, joy, joy, joy down in my heart. Really it works. How can you sing that without a smile on your face. Listening to Casting Crowns. A good glass of wine never hurts either.

It starts around 6:30 for our girls with brushing teeth, putting jammies on, baths every other night, reading the Bible, praying with the girls in bed and singing the Gloria Patri and lights out between 7 and 7:15.

6. If you are currently in a relationship, how did you meet your significant other?
OK, ours is a funny story. I had moved to ID in Sept. 2004 and met his sisters Nola and Tara at the church I was going to in Moscow and they told me they had a brother in the Marine Corps and it just went in one ear and out the other. Then I started attending another church and in January Lucas showed up and on his first Sunday I saw him and..., well lets just say he made quite an impression on me and I had to find out who he was. (I was so attracted to him from first sight). So I asked a friend of mine and she told me it was Tara and Nola's brother. But I really didn't meet him for a few months until a mutual (guy) friend asked a few of us out for drinks at a bar (Lucas was in the group). My girlfriend and I said we'd go, they left and then she changed her mind about going and so I walked the half a block to the bar and told them we weren't coming and that was when I met Lucas.
