Steph taged us.

A. The rules are posted at the beginning.
B. Each player answers the questions about themselves.
C. At the end of the post, the player then tags 5 people by posting their names; then goes to their blog and leaves them a comment, letting them know that they have been tagged.

10 years ago:
  • I was 10 about to turn 11. I don't really remember to much. I had left my private school and returning in Wrightsboro Elementary school if I was in 5th grade. My eldest sister just got married and my b-day was coming up so I was probably really excited (birthdays are big in my family) and that should be about it.

Snacks I enjoy:
  • Fliptz--the white chocolate kind
  • I'm always up for some cookies! Chocolate chip is my fav.
  • Chips AND dip
  • Hot Chocolate! (I know it's not a snack but its so dang good)


Five things on my to-do list today:
  • Class and Homework
  • Fold the Laundry
  • Go to the post office
  • Return movies to blockbuster
  • Thats about it...did everything else yesterday.

Things I would do if I were suddenly made a billionaire:
  • Other than the obvious (like paying tithing, bills, school loans)...
  • Build my dream house ( I know it's a little premature but it's never to late for that)
  • I would really like to beautify Rexburg. The way I want to do it is by the really old houses and flip them and resale them so that the town doesn't look so run down and the students will have a nice place to live.
  • I would invest of course.
  • I would LOVE to travel
  • And jer and I would like to serve a mission.

Three of my bad habits:
Jer says I have none...but I disagree
  • Not calling family back...really bad habit. I don't do it on purpose but if I miss their call it can take up to a week before I get to call them back.
  • I HATE doing dishes. And it's even worse cause we don't have a dishwasher. Luckily me and my baby has a deal. I'll cook and clean off counters while he does the dishes.
  • While a read everything else kind of zones out. Poor Jer tries to talk to me but I don't hear him so he has to keep talking to me till I hear him...poor guy.
Five places I have lived:
  • Wilmington/Castle Hayne, NC
  • Rexburg, ID
  • Pleasonton, CA
  • SLC, UT (temporarily)
  • Benson, NC


Jobs I have had:
  • Movie Extra
  • Self Employed: Babysitting, Mowing lawns, House sitting, etc.
  • Girls Camp Counselor
  • Cashier at Lowes Home Improvement
  • Waitress
  • Montessori School
  • I think thats it...

Things people don't know about me:
  • Calling people I don't know (or know well) makes me nervous...I don't know why...I think I get it from my father.
  • I love taking pictures but hate being in front of the camera...makes me self conscience.
  • Also when I spell conscience I have to think of it as con-science and when I spell beautiful I think of it as b-e-a-utiful.
  • Every guy but 1 that I have kissed has proposed to me...and some that I didn't kiss. I only said yes once.
  • I absolutely love my husband...but I'm pretty sure you guys know that.


I tag:
  • My Papa
  • Becky
  • Cindy Lynn
  • Laila
This was funner than I thought it would be...

Snowboarding


HEY! I did it. I went snowboarding. Well if thats what you call...it was more like butt boarding for the first couple of hours because I was trying so hard to get up I ended up sliding like 2 feet before my butt stopped me. Actually it was pretty sad because there were little kids going past me with no problem.
I did however eventually get up. I had to flip over then push myself up then turn around before I started going fast backwards. I could get about half way down before I fell over again. So that was basically the day...falling down and trying to get up. Now I am just sore and I trying to recover before we go again.
For those who are considering to take up this sports I have some advice for you. Firstly, when you fall (and you will because its inevitably) land on your forearm because your wrist will hate you later if you don't. Second, Practice stopping. Your muscles will remember it once your on the snow. Lastly, you will be sore (especially your quads) so have a nice hot bath once you get home.

Wish me luck!!

So Jer loves snowboarding! It's his favorite thing of the winter and I wouldn't be surprised if its his favorite sport ever. So I, trying to keep up with his incredibleness, have agreed to take a snowboarding class with him. He is going to take me out on Monday so I can get some practice before I look like a complete fool. I'm excited but nervous :/
