I saw a survey in a magazine that was all about the last time someone did something like cry, laugh, etc. and why. I thought it was cool so I wrote down the prompts and decided to fill them out.
I want to hear about the last time you did some of these things in the comments!
The last time I… learned something about myself On our recent trip. I learned I can go with the flow more easily than I think. I’m a pretty schedule-oriented person and travel definitely throws that for a loop. I threw my schedule out the window for a few days and had such a nice time just seeing what the day brought!
The last time I… cried Also on our trip. There were grandparents there that lost their grandson for a few minutes and everyone in the area was frantically looking for him. He was found and I guess it got me really emotional because I cried. Being a parent has opened me up to such a deep level of emotion.
The last time I… was scared Publishing my book. It was such a personal journey and while the story was fictional, it was still mine. I felt so vulnerable putting it out there!
The last time I… danced A couple of weeks ago in our living room with Jimmy, Sadie, Niva, and Mordecai. I was putting meat and veggies on shish-kebab sticks and Jimmy started playing music and I went into the living room with a shish-kebab and was dancing my heart out 😂
The last time I… got goosebumps The last baptism I watched at our church. It’s such a life changing moment to be baptized. It gives me the chills every time I witness one.
The last time I… stayed up too late My last night with Haley. Jimmy was away, I hosted a Bible study at our house, and I had to say goodbye to my favorite pup for the last time at a birthday party. It was a long night but the late bedtime was 1000% worth it.
The last time I… felt like a kid At the Ark Encounter with Sadie. We were playing on the playground and raced to touch my mom. That was my sly tactic to get her to leave but also left me feeling like a kid!
The last time I… had a moment of gratitude Posting Mordecai’s 11 month update. I feel so, so blessed that God gave us Mordecai.
The last time I… laughed out loud at a text message I sent a picture of me holding my nephew (Titus) and Mordecai to my family. I was laughing in the picture and my mouth was open. I thought I looked a bit horse-like so I said “sorry I look like a horse” when I sent the picture and my sister took a screenshot of it and put a horse head over my face 😂
The last time I… was a fashion disaster I was grilling salmon in the cold while wearing sweatpants, socks, and Croc slip-on sandals. Pure glamour 😉
The last time I… had an irrational fear Worrying about the kids getting sick. ‘Tis the season for sickness. I don’t know why I worry about it because I know it will happen and I know it will most likely be okay, lol.
The last time I… used a vice I couldn’t resist Starbucks coffee. Always! I have three perfectly usable coffee machines in our kitchen and sometimes I get Starbucks when I’m out. It’s my weakness.
The last time… I laughed at what my child said We were driving and using Siri for directions and she said “Proceed to the route” and Sadie repeated what she thought Siri said and said “A seed and it’s root!”
Living My Full Life 
I’ll try to answer a few of these!! 🙂
Last time I learned something about myself – I was helping Han with her kids before she hosted a bible study, and she said to me “you’re so patient”. That was such a nice compliment, and I thought, man have I changed! I def have more patience with my grandchildren than I have with most other human beings.
Last time I cried – I actually teared up pretty badly while reading the Jill Duggar book. It just really got to me that she had to go through so much in her life – I wont go into details as to the part that really got to me – as I don’t want to ruin any part of the book for anyone else that might read it.
Last time I was scared – When a car flying thru an intersection almost t-boned dad and I on our way to bible study. Every time I go through that intersection I have a huge wave of fear go thru me… it was that bad.
Last time I danced was also watching Han’s kids. We were playing the baby shark re-mix and I always dance like a freak when I hear that. The kids just stared like what in the world is yaya doing.
The last time I had a moment of gratitude was when I said to dad “sometimes I forget that all of our children and their spouses, their spouses family and our grandchildren all attend the same church. It’s the most amazing feeling of gratitude and happiness that we all have such a belief in God and love each other and our church family so much.
Fashion disaster = me 24/7. I am awful at putting outfits together, and I basically live in athleisure clothing. 🙂
Had an irrational fear – of losing a grandchild at the zoo or any large park. It happened to me once with my own child (with the author of this blog!!) I can honestly say it was the scariest moment as a parent.
Used a vise I couldn’t resist – Yesterday – I went to the store for just one thing (LOL) and I passed the candy aisle – and had to get Jujyfruits – because they were on sale. I don’t know why I just can’t resist chewy, gummy type candy. I literally eat half of the box driving home. I guess I could have way worse vices… on a good note – I have gotten much better at controlling that one.
