Tagged!

Sarah tagged me about a week ago, and I feel pretty sure she thought I would have definitely posted my "tagged post" by now...so without further ado...Here it is! A little personal reflection by Ashley Williams (while Sawyer snoozes)..

What was I doing 10 years ago?
I was a senior at Hartselle High School. Allyson and I were going to aerobics about 3 times a week at the Hartselle Civic Center getting ready for our upcoming Senior Trip in PCB! I know I was working at the Hartselle Pool some too getting the pool ready to open, and I bet getting things ready to go to Auburn too! Life was easy-peasy! Very fun, very carefree living!

5 Things on my To-Do list Today:
1. Finish cleaning my house
2. Go to the grocery store! We are out of EVERYTHING, which was okay for me and Walker, but you kind of have to go when you have a 1-year old! I do feel a little guilty when we run out of milk, and I had to feed him rice cereal last night b/c there weren't other options!
3. The appraiser man is coming this afternoon.
4. GO WALKING! I should have gone this morning. It's getting pretty warm outside.
5. Watch The Office tonight with Walker! We love TV on Thursday nights!

5 Snacks I Enjoy:
1. Grapes (they're my favorite)
2. Fudgesicles
3. Apples
4. a chocolate & oats Fiber One bar-Most days it's my breakfast, but sometimes it's a snack
5. Lately...I've been popping a bag of popcorn for us at night...Mainly b/c supper has been very minimal (no groceries) and we've been hungry at night (hence, why I HAVE to go grocery shopping today)

5 Things I Would Do if I was a Billionaire:
1. I would buy a BIG lake house...Preferably on Smith Lake-Big enough for LOTS of family and friends with nice boats and fun toys of course
2. Try to relocate my family and Allyson and Wes to North Alabama-I don't know how this would work exactly, but I'm sure that kind of money would make it possible! :)
3. I'd give a lot to church, my parents, Allyson-whoever else might need a little!
4. I'd buy Walker a lot of land! He'd love it! This would be a definite anyway if I want #2 to come true.
5. I'd buy myself a dog! :) b/c I'd have lots of land to let him play!
6. I should invest-I'm sure too!

5 Bad Habits
1. Too much Oprah! I just have always enjoyed her show, so I'd hurry home to see it or avoid things I could be doing to watch. With this whole "A New Earth" thing that she has going on though, I'm doing my best to avoid watching. I do enjoy the light-hearted shows, but I think enough's enough...
2. I let things go too far...for example, why have I not been to the grocery store yet? I should have been Monday!
3. I'm messy! Wish I was neater!
4. I go around barefoot WAY too much...therefore, I have really hard feet!
5. I'm not the best at returning phone calls. I'm sorry about this! I do enjoy catching up with friends, but I'd prefer to do it while driving these days since most of my time is occupied with Sawyer. I talk to Allyson and Katie a pretty good bit on the phone, so I feel like I'm on the phone a lot, and it's hard to keep up with everyone I'd like to as often as I'd like!

5 Places I've Lived:
1. 50 Spring Valley Trail Hartselle, AL-the only house I ever lived in until I was 18.
2. Auburn-Dowell Hall in "the cave" my first year with Allyson, then moved on up to Hollifield Hall. Then, lived in a fun house on Ross Street in Auburn with some of my favorite people! Loved it!
3. Woodsprings Apartments on 280 in B'ham RIGHT NEXT DOOR TO TARGET! I lived there with Al for a year right after we graduated
4. Samford University-Beeson Woods-VERY RANDOM! But it was a blessing! I was able to live there and eat for FREE while I went back to school at UAB! I was a Senior RA-the only housing employee that didn't go to Samford...I think it was a good experience to be an "outsider" for the first time.
5. 215 Sanford Road-Our current residence for the past 4 years and for 2 more weeks. This house was built in 1939, and it has lots of character. We'll miss our first little home!

5 Jobs I've Had
1. Lifeguard and Swim Instructor at the Hartselle Pool-Walker thinks I can't tell a story without talking about "the pool"! :)
2. Counselor at Camp Maranatha for 2 summers-loved it too!
3. Cart Girl at RTJ golf courses in Auburn and Birmingham-my second day on the job in b'ham I flipped the cart and had to be xrayed! B'ham had lots more hills than AU...It wasn't a "prestigious" job, but the $ was excellent!
4. Sales Rep for Advantage Golf in Birmingham right after Auburn
5. 3rd grade teacher at Greenville Elementary and 5th grade teacherat Andalusia Elementary

I want to know more about (a nice way of saying "I'm tagging"):
1. Shonna Reeves
2. Beth Colvin
3. Lyndsay Elliott
4. Kristen Wiggins
5. Jennifer Earnest

Really enjoyed your list! Wish I was still going to aerobics with you 3 times a week! Man- we had it made!

Maybe if you do become a billionaire and we live on Smith Lake - we can sign up again. :)
