We're baaack...

Da da da dah...here we are again! It has been a while!! We've got a new and improved computer and I am ready to blog it up! So, I'll take care of some business first. I have been tagged by my sister-in-law up in Montana, so here goes. I hope you learn something interesting and/or that you didn't know about me.

What was I doing 10 years ago?

I was going to school at UVSC, living at home, working at the McKay Events Center and a little store, and planning a wedding. Aaugh! I can't believe that. Ryan and I had been dating for about 4 months, and I think he proposed to me on April 11th. So, yeah, that's what I was up to 10 years ago.


What are 5 Things on my To Do List?

1. Put away the clean clothes
2. Clean up the family room
3. Make two quilt holders out of wood. I might need some husband help on this one.
4. Make sure all is prepared for YW tomorrow night.
5. Make dinner


What are 5 Snacks I Enjoy?

1. Trail mix (the kind from Sam's Club with peanuts, almonds, raisins, and M&Ms)
2. Cookie Dough and cookies
3. Chips- it's a weakness...Cheetos, Doritos, chips and salsa, chips and guacamole- my Most favorite- whatever's around.
4. Brownies
5. Twix (I rarely eat these, but they are my favorite.)


What Would I Do if I Suddenly Had a Billion Dollars?

Let the dreaming begin. I would build a new house with all the upgrades, bells and whistles, etc. The kids rooms would be decorated all with Pottery Barn furniture and decor. We would have the yard professionally landscaped (no putting in sprinklers for us!). The back yard would have the trampoline set in the ground, a fire pit, nice loungy outdoor furniture and a great outdoor cooking area. We would plan lots of fun vacations for all over the world. What else? Ok I would probably donate some money to charities or to the Church missionary fund or education fund. I'm sure we'd invest lots of money. And, lastly, I would by a Gardunos Restaraunt franchise and put one up here in Utah.


5 Places I've Lived...

1. West Jordan, UT
2. Rio Rancho, NM
3. Highland, UT
4. Midvale, UT
5. West Jordan, UT


5 Jobs I've had...

1. I worked in this little dinky dollar store in American Fork. But, it was a good job while I was going to school.
2. The McKay Events Center. I worked in the ticket office and occasionally sold T-shirts at concerts.
3. Nextlink- a telecommunications company
4. CR England. I handled all the pallet acounts.
5. Mom


3 Things You Don't Know About Me...

1. I have a hard time sharing with people. I know this is kind of weird, but I have always been a little selfish with my stuff. Like, you know the kind of people that break out a pack of gum, grab a piece and then offer anyone in the vacinity a piece? I'm totally opposite. If I want some gum, I get it in private, so that I don't have to give anyone any. I know, it's a terrible trait. Even when some of my kid's friends are over and they ask for a snack I kind of cringe inside because I really don't want to share my snacks with all the neighbors. Now that I've typed this all out, I realize how crazy I am. Oh well...
2. I can throw things like popcorn and Goldfish crackers high up in the air and catch them in my mouth.
3. I am pretty afraid of water. I hate being in the ocean and lakes. I can barely even swim. It's too bad that my kids are little fishies.

There you go!! Okay, now I tag Melissa Clark!
