What I was Doing 10 Years Ago
I was a Junior in High School. In November I had done the Pirates of Penzance (I looked like a gay pirate), for spring break we went on a choir tour to Kentucky all the way down to Florida! We went to Disney World! I was called into the Seminary Council and VERY nervous about that. I was crushing on about 10 boys!

- clean the bathrooms
- fold laundry

5 Memories I Have with my Family
- Easter at Zions national park
- getting our dog shawnee and having arguments about her name with my brothers. My sister and I were determined to have her name be shawnee.
- our many camping trips
- unloading the car every Saturday after my Mom went grocery shopping
- Me taunting my brothers to say naughty words while I was tape recording them. To try to get them in trouble
5 Bad Qualities/Habits
- I leave the cupboards open in the kitchen
- My nose perpetually drips!! Its a little gross.
- I am addicted to chocolate. I am worse then my sister in law, I do more then just eat a cookie every now and then, its more like ALL THE TIME.
- I don't rinse off my toothbrush that well (according to my sweetie)
- I am terrible at mailing things off. There have been numerous christmases where I prepare letters, put them in envelopes, address them and then they just sit on the counter, then in a cupboard. Six months later I throw them out.
5 Things You May Not Know About Me - I have a small "freckle" above my knee. I swear I got it when I was a little girl at dinner time. My mom had just made meatballs and it fell onto my leg, burning me! I don't know if this is really true, but I sure do think so.
- I love boating. I didn't do a ton of it growing up. However, after living with my aunt and uncle for a summer I fell in love with boating!
- I have about 4 years of experience of being a sandwich artist. Working at Hogi Yogi and Subway. Urghh!
- When I want something I get it. After dating my husband for awhile I finally asked if he would give me a hug.
- When I was 13 or so I worked with my friend Jennifer for one week in Wyoming at a farm/ranch. We scrubbed troughs, dug holes, stained decks and crushed on boys. I don't think I was the best ranch hand.
Husband/Marriage Info
Who eats more? Justin
Who said I love you first? I did in June, he waited until November!!! Let me tell you that's an akward 6 months.
Who sings better? Justin says I do, he just doesn't care to sing much
Who is taller? Justin is at 6' 2'', I'm almost 5' 10''
Whose temper is worse? Mine. Justin is so irritating he doesn't even fight back.
Who does the laundry? Mostly me. Justin will help fold and put away.
Who does the dishes? Overall I do most. However, at night we both pitch in. I am much faster!
Who sleeps on the right side of the bed? From the perspective of being in the bed, I'm on the right.
Who is more stubborn? .
Who proposed? Justin. He was so cute and nervous that I saw it coming.
Whose parents do we see more often? For the time, nobody. Who wants to buy a plane ticket?
Who pays the bills? I do and I love it! I love the feeling of getting a bill paid.
Who wears the pants in the family? I think its an even split. Justin thinks I wear the pants does that mean he wears the skirt? Justins explanation to why I where the pants is "I get more uptight about things, so basically whatever I says goes."
Why do I love my husband? I can tell Justin anything and he still loves me. He wants me to feel good about myself and supports me in those things that make me a better person. He is kind, thoughtful and sensitive to others. He is a great dad and a great husband!

That was fun to read...For how well I know you...I didn't know hardly any of those things. I am glad you are feeling better.

Sorry to hear that you have been so sick! That is no fun at all. That was fun to get to know you a little better.
I don't know about that chocolate addiction. I think I have been pretty bad lately. What a fun update. Things I didn't know about you. You are still the cutest ever. We were bummed about November. We are trying to decide on a better time to come. Would you rather the whole family space their visits or hit you all at once?
Hey, we need to talk! You've been sick? Wait, I think you did tell me that like 3 months ago when we talked, you're not better yet? Loved reading about you, I was even surprised by some of those answers!
You've got nuttin on my chocolate addiction. I have learned to make chocolate chip cookies in my sleep with that mixer you gave us.
Thanks for the post, it was entertaining to read. Interesting to hear of the family memories (Easter in Zion's....I remember where the easter 'cups' were hiding, too).
I love to tell your story about getting me and Al in 'trouble' saying naughty words into the tape recorder. I told Holly that story a month or two ago and it changed her perspective on FHE. She has been wondering for years and years why Dad gave a lesson on tattling.
Hey, that was fun to read! I have been thinking about you and your family a lot latley. We are here in Baker for spring break. Brian will actually be leaving tomorrow for home and get ready to take 6 students back east. I will be staying here until next week.
Hope you get feeling better and all is well.

I know I already left a comment but I remembered something I wanted to ask you. You were talking about your chocolate addiction. I remember you liked chocolate in college and you didn't want to buy candy bars or chocolate beacause it was too expensive and you wanted to save money so you would eat cholcolate cake mixes. You would just eat a spoon full and then wrap the bag back down in the box and save it for later. Do you remember that and do you still do that? I was just wondering. I now have a "mommy stash". I keep chocolate and other goodies just for me in a little basket high in the cuboard. When things get a little stressful I sneak into my "mommy stash" and it sure makes me feel so much better!
I didn't know if I should respond on my blog or on yours. Thanks for the comment. It was not a whole carton of cottage cheese. It's a good thing too. There was actually just a little bit left. I will tell everyone hello for you. It has been a lot of fun. I just went scarpbooking with Wendy and her sister and Sam Stephenson. Are you feeling better? I hope so. TRalk to you later.
