Another tag ...

Thanks Andrea, for the tag! This one was really fun ... lots of nostalgia.

10 Years Ago...

It was 1998. Hmm, I was a sophomore/junior in high school. It was a great year! So many friends and such good times together! Be-bopping to the Backstreet Boys, going to Denny’s at 5:00 AM, attending Viewmont football and soccer games, trying out for the high school musical, hanging out at the local Dairy Queen …

5 Years Ago...

It was 2003. I had just returned from China and I was falling in love with Cory. I was determined to marry him (though I don’t think he realized it yet) and so I spent much of my time wooing him - and in turn, he spent a lot of his money on me (trying, apparently, to woo me). I did one semester at Weber (taking 2 measly math classes as review) and worked as a graphic designer. Saw Phantom of the Opera in San Francisco and sat right under the chandelier when it dropped. I transferred to USU in the fall, lived next door to Cory and decided to major in math and stats. GO AGGIES!


5 Months Ago...

It was January. I was busy wishing I lived somewhere warm … and wondering why we didn’t go to southern California for chiro school. Cory was starting his 6th trimester and I was trying not to freeze to death. I was also wishing I wasn’t poor so I could have gone to Utah for Andrea’s wedding.

5 Things on my list to do tomorrow...

Clean my house
Buy a chest freezer
Pick strawberries so I can make some jam
Call a tailor and make an appointment to get Cory’s pants to him so they can be hemmed
Run errands (bank, groceries, library, anywhere else I decide I need to go)

5 Things I would do if I was suddenly a billionaire...

Get Lasik surgery
Buy a house – with lots of room for a garden
Get an electric car (or a hybrid, or something so I don’t have to pay these ridiculous gas prices!)
Travel to Egypt, Greece, Guatemala … and lots more
Invest it (I know, I’m a math geek – I can’t help it!)

5 Bad Habits...

Being waaaaay too opinionated
Being a neat freak (I hate clutter; can’t stand it)
My obsession with ice cream and French fries
Sleeping in so I leave no time for exercise in the morning
Always wanting to be right :)

5 Places I've lived...

Farmington, Utah
Rexburg, Idaho
Wuhan, China
Logan, Utah
Seneca Falls, New York

5 Things people don't know about me...

*I love watching college football and basketball – and I scream (loudly) at the TV and cry when my teams lose. I take games way too personally.
*I broke a bone near my thumb and was in a cast for 6 months! (well, 3 different casts but a total of 6 months combined time) I went swimming and everything and when the last cast came off, it was SMELLY!
*I’m deathly afraid of grasshoppers … I don’t know what it is, but they give me some serious heebie-jeebies!!
*I love to play board games, but I can be a very sore loser. Beat me at Clue and you will find out for yourself. I try to keep in under control, but sometimes it doesn’t work and I get really ornery. I hate to lose!
*I once broke my neighbor’s foot with my rollerblades since he refused to stop interrupting our street hockey game. Serves him right!

Tag...

Mable, Jade, Kelley, Shar and anyone else who wants to do it …
