What was I doing 10 years ago? I was trying to figure out what I was going to be doing after graduation. Dating the most amazing guy! Just getting done with cheerleading and wondering if it was something I would want to do in College. I didnt. Deciding that I didnt want to live with friends at College, just strangers. Not sure that was the best decision, I got quite the roomie. Missing my brother on a mission. Going to lunch everyday with Annie, Karen, and Tyler. I was really excited to graduate, but had mixed emotions as I am sure most do. I didnt have near the worries or cares that I do now, although I think in High School we are a little oblivious to what the world holds. I thought that nothing could get in my way of what I wanted for a career. I was thinking that advertising would be a great career choice. It was definitley not for me. I guess creativity is a prerequisite. I was awaiting all that the world held and knew that a family was all I truly ever wanted. 5 things on my to do list! 1-Make dinner 2-Still unpack from the hospital 3-clean the house (always on my to do list) 4-Make invitations for my young women 5-I am actually thinking I need to start getting my food storage ready. SO overwhelming. What snacks do I enjoy? I love triscuits with squeeze cheese, Hawaiian punch, beef jerky, cereal, and licorice. What would I do if I was suddenly a Billionaire? Its funny, Ben and I actually had this conversation the other night. We would help those in our ward that are struggling. Especially the Young women and young men that we work with. We would buy our parents houses and get them out of debt. We would get ourselves out of debt. Travel, Save, go to 3rd world countries and help do some good there. Charities. oh and of course tithing, unless we won it gambling because then they wouldnt want our money. Oh wait, we don't gamble (shhh....) Five Places I have lived... 1-Fairview, and back again 2-Ephraim 3-Ogden, loved it! 4-Orem, still miss it 5- well I guess there is only 4 Five Jobs I've had... 1-A teachers aide for a the summer migrant program 2-Pizza girl at Cavalier Pizza 3-Secretary in the Criminal Justice Dept. at Weber state 4-Professional Parent Coordinator 5-MOTHER! Five Things that people didn't know about me... Most of the things that you didnt know about me you do now because of my top 28 stupidest things that I have ever done. Okay, I will try to come up with some more. 1-I was acutally really annoyed with Ben the first time I met him. I thought he was a rich snob. He definitely was not rich. ;) 2-Most mornings I don't get up until 9:00. I know I am so lazy. I do exercise most days though. 3- I get very embarrassed about having nice things. Our car, our house. I really had a hard time having people see our house. 4-Not working was a very hard transition for me. I had a very difficult time. Not that I didnt love being home with my daughter, I just didnt feel like I was doing much for anyone and it was hard to not feel needed like you feel when you have ajob. I know people will probably take that wrong, take it in the positive route. Not that Ben or CAmbree didnt need me. Just not getting the accalades and such that you do with work . 5-When I got really sick and had to be on oxygen I was very insecure. I would avoid people I knew in stores and didnt want to see anyone. I got better towards the end of the year and a half and I like to think if i get there again I would be better, but it was very difficult on my self-esteem. 3 bad habits- 1-I pick a lot, if I have a scab or something on my arm or really anywhere I will continue to pick it. I have a lot of scars because of this. I know gross! 2-I don't think it is a bad habit but Ben does, sleeping with socks on. I can't sleep without them. 3-Getting addicted to television shows. I love my DVR it has saved my life. I tag, Annie, Erin and I would like to hear Jakes as well, Karole, Roshelle, Janille, and Whit

You still sleep with your socks on? Do you still pay with your hair when you are tired? It is amazing what you do learn from people in these stupid things. I had fun with mine and could tell more things about myself. ( Why is it I can talk about myself on a blog but not in person?) Yours was great. I loved it! I wrote Alisha and when she comes to town we all need to get together.
I do still rub my feet together to sleep. The great thing is somewhere Zoe learned this trait and she rubs her feet on whatever she can to fall a sleep!!!!
Jake appreciates the tag, but Jake doesnt blog.

Thanks for the whole "mowing lawns" comment ya jerk!! Ha ha I mowed G-pa and Kay's lawn for like 2 summers and got paid! So I consider that a job! Ha Ha! ;)
I wanted more embarrassing stories, but I enjoyed it anyway.
I love that your list of favorite snacks is substantive!
If you hadn't lived with Susie-Q you wouldn't have met me. Doesn't it seem so strange that you ever had a room-roommate?
I love reading about you! You always have funny stories and comments, and seem to have a much more interesting life than I!
Thanks for the tag!!! I hope it's as good as yours. I go to sleep with my socks on but in the middle of the night I kick them off! KC is always finding socks in the bed and it drives him crazy. Oh well, what do you do? I am also a picker so I'm with you on that one. Anyways good post and I will be posting soon!
I love these getting to know you better tags, I love seeing things we have in common! I always intend to do these on my blog but sometimes I just forget, I will try!
You make me laugh! You are so cute! I'm with you and Karole on the socks and picking! My girls even let me pick their crusty noses. I love it. The other day Maleea walked over to me and said, "here mommy, a bugger." She was so proud. That's when I thought I better stop. When they think I want their buggers. Mike on the other hand doesn't let me near him.
Em, Michelle asked me to give you her email address.
It's time you two crazy kids reunited.
