So I have been "tagged" by Marisa to provide answers to the above questions. So, here it goes...

10 years ago-

I was a freshman at BYU, getting ready to end my semester and go home to Oregon for the summer. I had spent one quarter at the University of Utah; getting to know my floor mates, travelling back and fourth between Salt Lake and Provo, dancing at The Bay, not loving my major, feeling like I was still in HS classes, and disliking just about every teacher I had. I finally relented and, as my husband says, "I saw the light" and transferred to BYU. There, I quickly became acquainted with DT, the commons rooms (where I lived with 3 other girls and no windows), visiting hours, the cougar eat, the SWKT, HBLL, SFLC, ESC, and many other acronyms, Rout Y, the creamery, and of course, dining plus! I learned to add and drop classes like a pro, navigate the testing center, and figure out what direction I needed to go by looking for the huge mountains. At this moment, I was probably on the hunt for an "off campus" apartment to secure for the fall with Heather, Star, and the mystery roommate! I had an amazing time meeting great people, and learning a lot about myself.

5 things on my to do list today:
(I wish there were only 5!)

1- plan my meals for the week and make a grocery list

2- organize the spare bedroom closet

3- do the dishes (again)

4- get Madison some new shoes

5- find the bottom of the laundry basket

5 snacks I enjoy

1- any kind of fruit

2- Trader Joe's Tortilla Chips With an Identity Crisis (yes, that is really their name, and they are so good!)

3- raw sugar snap peas in a pod

4- Jo-Jo's (TJ's version of an Oreo, but better)

5- pita chips and hummus

What I would do if I were suddenly made a billionaire:

Pay off Ronnie's MBA student loans, buy my dad his Camaro back that he sold when I went away to college (or maybe a 67' mustang he's always wanted), let my mom stop working so they can retire for real! Set aside a BUNCH for kid's college fund. Help family and friends who need it, and then take them on lots of fun vacations all over the world! Start Casas Para Catrachos with Ronnie and feed, clothe, educate, heal, and give homes to as many people as I possibly can. Let Ronnie invest it any crazy risky way he wishes so we can do even more!

Three of my bad habits:

1- I bite my nails (gross, I know!)

2- I leave half empty cups of water around the house

3- jeans- enough said

5 places I have lived

(again, I wish it was only 5)

1- Cottage Grove and Eugene, OR

2- SLC, Provo, and Saratoga Springs, UT

3- Owings Mills, MD

4- Menlo Park and Belmont, CA

5- Issaquah, WA

5 jobs that I have had

1- Merchandising for Copeland Sports

2- Management Intern at Target

3- Program Manager for a non profit organization in Baltimore, MD

4- Pilates Instructor

5- Mom

5 things people don't know about me:

1- I don't sweat (literally)

2- My right knee cap dislocates really easily

3- I secretly want to see what I would look like bald, but don't have the courage to do it

4- I was the prom queen

5- After my kids are in school, I want to get a nursing degree

There, that was fun, I tag Heather, Liz, and Carson- your it!
