10 Things I Love to Do:
1) Spend time with my family. I love the special times the Lord gives us as a family, whether it is taking a walk or a vacation.
2) Dates with Matt. There is nothing that gets me more excited than looking forward to a date with my husband. I love getting to connect over a meal undistracted and enjoy quality time together.
3) Working Out. I can not imagine life without running, doing other aerobics or lifting. I love getting sweaty and red faced and pushing myself to my limits.
4) Reading the newspaper. When I get alone time, I usually find a coffee shop and read the paper from top to bottom.
5) Spending time with friends and meeting new people. I love being social. One of my favorite things is hearing people's stories.
6) Taking long, hot showers. Strange, perhaps, but I LOVE it. There is nothing more relaxing than standing under scalding hot water. My wonderful husband is wonderfully cost conscious, so I try only to indulge in this "love" while traveling in a hotel or at mom's house (thank you mom, sorry Steve :)).
7) Going to bed at night. Since having children, a night has not passed that I have not looked forward to going to bed. Every night I am completely exhausted and I love nothing more than crawling under the covers, praying with Matt, and folding the pillow over my head.
8) Visit my mom. I LOVE spending time at my mom's house. She almost always takes time off from work and we go, go, go. We both love being outside, so we take the kids to playgrounds, amusement parks, hikes, camping. . . And there is nothing more relaxing than being at mom's house with your favorite foods and comforts. Thank you mom, I love you!
9) Hang out in the cul-de-sac with my neighbors. The Lord has blessed us with an amazing group of neighbors. Most of the women stay at home, our husbands enjoy one another, and our children overlap in ages. We love connecting while our children play, and we are also a great support for each other.
10) Have Quality Time over a meal to really connect with a friend. I love deep conversation and really connecting with a girlfriend.
So there it is. Tara and Bonnie, I now tag you. Looking forward to seeing your posts!

Lauren,
Love your 10!! A thrill went down my body when you mentioned one of the 10 was to spend time at my house. A big chuckle about the hot water!!! Steve will love it when he reads the blog and probably put a water saver in your bathroom the next time you visit.
Am I Bonnie? Even if not (there could be another! :))you're on...I am always up for a challenge. Now, if I can just find time to do it. Coming soon...
Yes, you are Bonnie. . .I know no other. :) Can't wait to read it!
Great Job Lauren with your first tag! I loved reading your top 10! It's fun to learn even more about people by reading what they love to do! Have a great week!
