A Dozen Questions (that I’m finally getting around to)

It took me long enough, but I'm finally responding to Adrianne's tag.

  1. What was I doing 10 years ago: I was a high school Junior in the middle of Cross Country Season, probably out running in the desert at this time of day or maybe even at a meet with my friend Teresa and sister Tammi, among others. I was also working at the Desert Princess Lake Mead Cruises restaurant as a waitress.
  2. Five years ago: I was living in Provo, Utah as a senior at BYU. I was doing my cooperative teaching in Heber, UT and working the the BYU telefund- something that was a bit scary for me. I lived with Adrianne, Ruth, and Phoebe and was beginning to think about where I wanted to end up teaching.
  3. One year ago: I was getting used to life in our new home and new ward. I was teaching 2nd grade at Paradise ES- learning that I loved it there! I was also beginning to realize that I was pregnant because I was starting to crave weird things and have a need to eat a little more frequently. (We never took a pregnancy test- we just figured all the symptoms had to mean pregnancy and sure enough they did.)
  4. Yesterday: I visited one of my visiting teachees, taught a piano lesson, had FHE and practice the piano a little.
  5. 5 snacks I enjoy: granola (my new favorite), grapes, yogurt, any other kind of fruit, triscuits and cottage cheese
  6. 5 things I would do if I suddenly had $100 million: Hmmm… buy land, build a dream home, set up college accounts for each of our children, invest(Zach would have to do that b/c I know very little about investing), vacation.
  7. 5 locations I would like to run away to: Hawaii, The Mediterranean, Costa Rica, Cancun, anywhere with Zach and Lincoln.
  8. 5 bad habits I have: I leave my music scattered all around the piano when I practice. When I get on the phone with someone and I have a purpose for calling, I'll usually forget to ask how they're doing(I'm very one-track minded). When I go shopping- it takes me an extremely long time to make a purchase because I change my mind back and forth about a million times. I clip my fingernails in the bathroom and often leave the clippings in the sink. It takes me a long time to get back to someone when they leave a message for me (sorry if it's happened to you).
  9. 5 things I like doing: reading, playing the piano, jogging in good weather, teaching children , playing with family
  10. 5 TV shows I like: this is a tough one because we don't have TV, but when I go to my parent's house I like to watch: Design on a Dime, Rachel Ray's 30 minute meals, Divine Design, whatever is on HGTV. I know that's not 5, but it's amazing that I could come up with that many.
  11. 5 things I hate doing: cleaning the kitchen sink, mopping the floors in our house, going shopping anywhere that has a salesperson that might pressure me into buying something, nagging piano students on their payment when they're late, being the center of attention(Hate is too strong of a word for this one, but it does make me feel pretty uncomfortable).
  12. 5 biggest joys of the moment: Zach, Lincoln, a good piano day, beautiful weather and finally completing another blog.

People I tag: anyone who wants to answer these questions, Dallas, Tim, Camrin

Thanks for tagging me. It really has made me realize how far I have come in the last 10 years. I had to get right on answering the tag or else I knew I would not be very good at getting the questions answered at all. It took longer then I thought to think about what had happened in my past. I am glad I did it. What an eye opener. :)

Thanks for tagging me too! I have not gotten to it yet but I will. For one it gets you thinking. For two it is so fun learn about what people did in their past. I learned a lot a didn't know about you. And for three, it gives me something else to write about. More to the journal. :)
