Blog Game

Okay, so I was tagged by my sister-in-law Kari for this fun blog game (thanks Kari and sorry it took me so long to finally do this!). Here are my answers! (By the way, sorry about the added security to comments- lately we have been getting a lot of spam comment and also this one long (it was seriously like 5 pages) anti-religion comment (thank you Jeniece for letting me know:)). However, I just took off the moderated comment and instead just added the letter verification (or whatever it is called). So we’ll see how that works out.

A. The rules of the game are posted at the beginning

B. Each player answers the questions about themselves

C. At the end of the post, the player tags 4 people and posts their names, then goes to their blog and leaves them a comment, letting them know they are tagged.

10 years ago I was: A Freshman in High School in Monument, CO.

5 things on my to do list today:

1) Work Out (I have been so bad at this lately)

2) Pick up the mail from the post office (we have no mailbox yet)

3) Unpack the boxes that we shoved in the never used guest/future baby room

4) Change the oil in Mark’s car

5) Go to the library for a new book!

Things I would do if I became a billionaire: What would I not do with a billion dollars?! I would definitely give a lot of it to charities, church funds, and any family members who needed help. Mark and I would both quit our jobs and travel all over the world seeing all the places we have always wanted to (Europe, Egypt, the Amazon, Africa, Australia, all the baseball fields (can you guess which one of us wanted to do this one?), etc.). Mark would probably take his friends and brothers to all the sports they wanted to go to around the world and I would take all the girls on a nice, long cruise to… wherever! I would go on a MAJOR shopping spree and take all of my friends and family with me. We would buy new cars, rent out our new condo and buy a house… well why not houses?! One in Malibu, California on the beach, one in Park City, UT, and one in Eugene, OR so we always have a place to stay when we visit our families. We would then hire a financial advisor and invest the remaining amount. I suppose the list could go on and on when you have a billion dollars! :)

3 of my bad habits:

1) I have to agree with Kari- I also watch way too much TV

2) Procrastination

3) Stressing out over little things- what can I say, I’m a worrier!

5 places I've lived:

1) Colorado

2) N. California

3) S. California

4) Nevada

5) Utah

5 jobs I've had:

1) Recruiter for a temp agency

2) BYU Independent Study (customer service)

3) Nordstrom

4) Island’s Hostess

5) Compliance Rep. at a marketing firm

Something most people don't know about me: My dream job that I always wanted to do was be a National Geographic Photographer. It started when I was at my grandparents as a little girl and I would see all of the beautiful pictures in the “National Geographic” on their coffee table (my grandpa would always have tons of them). Then, I took a photography class in high school and loved it and was planning on majoring in it in college; however, reality soon came when I realized that it was not a realistic job for a family, etc. (besides the fact that it probably is nearly impossible to get a job in this field). However, one day I would love to get back into the hobby and go to a dark room again to develop my own pictures (it is such a blast!).

I tag: Alli, Jeniece, Melissa, Emily, Brooke, and Tawna (okay, I realize that I have 2 more people then I should—but I want to read everyone’s answers).
