I'm It

Tagged again. Here's some more info. about me. Take it or leave it.

What were you doing 10 years ago? Just finishing up my freshman year at Ricks College and working as the Asst. Mgr. at Zuka Juice(now Jamba). I had a very diverse group of roommates. One was from WA(who drove a new camero & had never been on a date), British Columbia (who was an RM- not very common back in the days of Ricks), South Korea (would get phone calls from her BF in Korea around 2 a.m. or later), Idaho Falls (she was my room roomie & was a clogger at Ricks), Roberts (friend from HS who got engaged this year) and an army brat who had lived everywhere from CA to China (she added a lot of spunk & lived off of rice and cookie binges)! It was a good year of finding myself out in the real world & trying to figure out where I was going to steer this ship.

5 things on my to-do list
1. Clean the house (why is this always on the list?)
2. Definitely go to the gym (remember Easter candy?)
3. Laundry (does it ever end?)
4. Figure out something for FHE
5. Schedule visiting teaching & figure out handout for VT conference next week.
Also...try to keep Jace out of the candy!

6 snacks I enjoy
1. Wheat thins dipped in veggie cream cheese
2. White chocolate mousse/ice cream with oreo and carmel mix ins
3. Oreos (the new Cakesters are yummy too), chocolate chip cookies and carmeled apples
4. Fresh baked bread or rolls with homemade strawberry jam
5. Saltines & cheese
6. Snow shack/snow cones.
(That was a little too easy)
7. Watermelon or apples too (had to throw in a healthy one)

3 bad habits.
1. Biting fingernails
2. Blogging/wasting time on Internet
3. Staying up late

If I were suddenly a billionaire, I would....probably do much of what I'm doing now, except do it much bigger and better. Give more, save more, travel more, buy more, pay more taxes. I'll tell you one thing I wouldn't do- throw down like $5,000/night for a one night stay in some suite or hotel. I always think this is so excessive when celebs do this. Even if I could, I wouldn't. There are much better ways to use money.

Five places I've lived.
1. Rigby, ID
2. Rexburg, ID
3. Logan, UT
4. Salt Lake City, UT
5. North Ogden UT

5 jobs I've had. Well, besides being a mom, I've been
1. Public Relations Coordinator
2. PR Intern for the NASA Space Grant Consortium
3. Photo assistant/receptionist for a photo studio (I scheduled photo sessions, helped clients choose photos, placed orders, put wedding books together, etc.- loved it.)
4. Office Manager for 2 different Chiropractic offices - loved one, hated one.
5. Customer service/page designer @ a scrapbooking store.

5 things people may not know about me.
1. I can't stand to loose things- especially the kid's toys/parts to toys. I honestly have a mental note of what came with what and how it was displayed in the box and each and every part of nearly everything. I can tell you exactly what we're missing from over the past 3.5 years. (Like the cow and pig from the farm set Jace got from my parents his 1st Christmas) It drives me nuts that we somehow misplaced these items; so much that I've tried to replace the missing parts by calling the toy makers directly and looking for them on ebay. No luck. Call me crazy! And let me know if you have any toy parts for sale!
2. I still drive the same car that I drove as a senior in high school. My parents bought it for me brand new & I got to pick it off the lot, but I haven't gotten a new car since, although we're getting close to upgrading.
3. I've always had a "so called" sixth sense about my life- most things have turned out exactly how I thought they would. After H.S., I only applied to Ricks & I got in, then I only applied to transfer to Utah State- also got in, when I was 18, I had a feeling that I'd marry Justin and turns out that I did (only 5 years later). I thought I was having a boy on my 1st pregnancy-true, thought it was a girl for the 2nd- also true. But this is the kicker- I was reading through an old journal and way back in H.S. I was thinking about my future and for some reason wrote that I somehow thought that my future husband would be an Accountant- what are the chances? Something fishy is going on here- I should start a fortune telling business. Maybe I could see where those missing toys went.
4. I've had 2 C-sections
5. One of my life's regrets is that I didn't serve a mission. Justin always rebutes this by saying that if I would have went, he wouldn't have married me (because he apparently doesn't like Sis. missionaries) but, whatever. I think it could've been a priceless experience.
