1. What were you doing 10 years ago?

Well let's see. I was married, had three children, and was teaching full-time science in junior high school. We were living in our first house in Las Vegas and having lots of fun with 3 kids under the age of 3 :0)

3. Snacks I enjoy.

4. What would I do if I was suddenly a billionaire.

*pay my tithing
*get out of debt for good
*Pay off the homes of my parents, mother in law, and all of Wayland and my siblings
*Move to Utah and build a home perfect for our family...not too big, but with all the goodies in it
*put all the money I need for the kid's missions/college
*invest for the future....make the money work.
*Serve....I would love to anonymously give money to people who need it. A house payment, grocery trips...anything. I have always wanted to just help lighten someone's financial burdens. it would be awesome.

5. Three bad habits.

*overeating...eat if I'm stressed...eat if I'm happy....lol...
*unorganized....my house can never stay tidy. It's clean, but often crazy.
*putting clean laundry into a huge pile instead of folding it right away. This becomes a nightmare when folding time comes. I try to make it a "fun party" where me and the kids can visit with eachother and fold....they don't think it's that great.

6. Five places I've lived

*Carson City, NV
*Provo, UT
*Las Vegas, NV
*That's it..........pretty boring huh?

7. Five jobs I've had

*veterinary technician (through all of high school)
*bartender at the Ivy Tower (Utah kind of bartender)
*waitress at Beeno's casino...the non-gambling side :) It's a little podunk place
*supervisor for YMCA's children's summer programs
*TEACHER!!! Still love teaching :)

8. Five things that people don't know about me.

*I would much rather work outside than inside. I like fixing things, gardening, building, and power tools. I think I spent too much time with my Dad growing up. If I could have a shop in my backyard and have all the tools organized and everything I needed to build stuff, I would. I do all the fix it chores here at home because I think I can do it better than Wayland. That's probably not true, but I think I can. I am one of those people that uses duct tape and WD 40 too.

*I was a spaz in junior high and high school. Okay, so that's probably not a shock to most of you. My favorite joke was "Ask me if I'm a truck".....then the person would ask me and I would say "No". Then I would laugh like I was the funniest person in the world. I told it to every teacher and everyone I knew for about three years. yep....dorky.

*I am completely and totally afraid of the dark. My brother and I used to take care of a family's cat that lived down the street. There were no street lights down by their house and my brother would freak me out to the worst degree possible. He took great delight in scaring and torturing me about the dark. To this day, I cannot sleep with my closet open and I have to run when I have to take the trash outside and it's dark. If I'm getting in my car in the dark....I'm sure there's someone hiding under or in the car. My brother told me there was a guy that would slice the achille's tendon of women by hiding under their car and then they'd attack. He called him the "Achille's Tendon Killer". It's so dumb....I truly freak myself out.

*I love nature. I am sort of weird about unusual animal fact knowledge and information about how our world works. When I taught junior high, the kids thought I was crazy because I would get so excited about any of the subject matter. Heavenly Father gave us this beautiful world and I love learning about it. I would go campings a ton if I could.

*My favorite place to go when I was young was my Grandpa's farm. It was in northern California and my Grandma's family had come from Portugal to this dairy farm. Although the state had bought all of the land...they were allowed to stay there because they were the original founders. It had a creek that ran behind it and a donkey named Cookie. It was old and rickety, but I loved it so much. We could run all over the place..catch lizards...and pick fresh blueberries. My Grandpa would make the perfect hot chocolate for us....I miss him.

That's it guys....so who will I tag? Hmmmm.....how about Jamie, Leslie, Ginger, Heather, and Katie. Plus....any of my blogging buddies...join in. I love learning more about all of you!
