I've been tagged....

Shelly just tagged me and although I'm still not sure about half my answers, here it goes. I do have to tag 3 people at the end of this, and then I'll post a comment on your blog. I think there's one other rule, but I can't remember what it was...oh well. Here it goes.

Ten Years Ago:
So specifically, I don't remember & I didn't write down what I was doing on this very day 10 years ago. I pulled out my journal and found nothing...sorry. But in February of 1998, I was a Sr at Hillcrest High school and ready to be done. I really could list all of my classes for you, but you don't care. I'm pretty sure that there was a dance right around then and my geek boyfriend went with another girl. Not because I didn't want to go, but because his loser best friend wouldn't cover his shift at work so I could go. But he did work for him so he could go with another girl....jerk. Never really did like him.

5 Things On My To Do List:
Only five huh?
1. Get my laundry done already!
2. Get my lesson planned for Sunday
3. Get my house cleaned
4. Clean my car
5. Kick Nick off of his XBox 360...yes he finally got one...uggghhhh!!

I Enjoy:
I enjoy lots of things, but here's a couple. I lately have started working out in the morning with my friend Megan, we go to the aerobic/spinning classes together and I've really enjoyed getting my butt kicked into shape. I enjoy bowling once a week, again, with Megan. I enjoy bedtime for my girls, it's finally quiet. I enjoy reading a good book. And most of all, I enjoy my family.

What would I do if we were suddenly billionaires:
Truly, I would stop stressing about money. Really though, I'd make sure that I save for my kids college educations/missions/weddings. I would either move or knock down my house & build a new one....ahh... Decorate my house, something I have yet to do. Make sure that Nick can golf whenever he wants (as long as I approve :) And don't think I wouldn't do lots and lots of shopping.

3 Bad Habits:
1. I talk way too much...ask Nick.
2. Lose my temper too fast
3. I love watching TV.

5 Places I've lived:
1. Idaho, for 2 weeks after I was born.
2. West Jordan, UT
3. Sandy, UT
4. Murray, UT
5. Riverton, UT

5 Jobs I've Had:
1. Classic Skating....loved it.
2. Crossland Mortgage
3. RMIC
4. Associated Mortgage
5. Chevron Credit Bank

5 Things You May Not Know About Me:
Hmm....
1. I'm a total sap. I cry whenever someone else is crying....no matter what they're crying about. Testimony meetings on fast sundays KILL ME!
2. I was a competitive speed skater. Some people think it's a totally lame thing, but I got to travel a lot and met so many wonderful people. I'll never regret it. I started skating when I was 11 and stopped when I was 16. I learned how competitive I truly am and that I am good at something. I also learned a lot about who I am, the things in my life worth working for and how good it feels to work hard and see it pay off. I got to compete against my sister, and that truly was a blast. We had so much fun together and we were always relay partners. I learned how to work well with other people and how to function in a team setting and on my own.
3. I absolutely love to read. I will put almost anything aside to finish a good book. I stay up late just to finish a chapter or hopefully the whole book. I love reading to my girls and hope that I get to teach them something valuable.
4. I'm terrified of water. I don't mind swimming pools so much, but they still scare me. I hate the ocean and bridges. I tense up whenever we drive over a bridge (fortunately not that often). And no matter how hard I try I can not learn how to tread water or swim. I totally panic when I get into the deep end of a pool. I try not to let it cripple me, I have been snorkeling in the middle of the ocean, which was awesome. But it took a lot to get me out of that boat. I'm also not a big fan of boats....a houseboat...no way! You can't pay me to sleep on a houseboat. And because I'm such a bad swimmer it terrifies me even more to think of taking my kids on one.
5. I'm becoming a compulsive blogger. I can't believe how badly I want to check my own and others blogs every day. I love the stories and the pictures, especially those of you I don't see very often. I love reading the comments and all that fun stuff. I truly blame this on Jamie....you got me started.....


WHEW! I'm done. That was a lot harder than I thought and took a lot longer. I hope you all aren't bored out of your minds. But here's who I'm going to tag....Jerrica (because you need to get some more posts on your blog :), Jamie and Lindsey. And really, if you want, tag yourself if I didn't. Good luck and happy blogging!!!

Amy it's been a while since I've seen you around. I hope you don't mind me cheking your blog out from time to time. My blogging can be lame, I'm still new at it.
