snapshot

I was tagged. I'm bored. Here goes.

10 years ago I was....
  • 13 and wishing I was 14 years old so that I could go to stake dances. Funny how life was so dramatic back then. I was just finishing up my 7th grade year and looking forward to no school for a few months.

5 years ago I was....

  • 18? Yeah. 18 was a GREAT year for me! I got my car. For those of you who don't know, I have four sisters and no brothers. My dad bet us all that if we don't kiss a boy until we're 18, he'll buy us a car. Well...I made it! So when I turned 18 I got my shiny black honda civic. I was in heaven (considering I had been driving a 1985 volvo. Don't worry Madison, its vintage now ;) Um what else happened that year... I graduated from high school. I got accepted to BYU. I partied all summer with my buddies. And I pretty much thought I was on top of the world.

5 months ago I was...

  • Hmm Christmas time. That was fun. We went to WA for Christmas and saw a bunch of family. That was fun. I miss my VA children!

5 things on my to-do list today....

  • Help 100,000 + students graduate from high school
  • Close the phones at 7pm because its a long weekend!!! YAY!!
  • Change into sweats and a hoodie
  • Work on my sharing time lesson for primary on Sunday
  • Call Katelyn.

5 snacks I enjoy...

  • Sweedish Fish (currently enjoying)
  • Costco Bottled Water
  • Popcorn. Microwave, freshly popped, carmel, i love it all!
  • Dr. Pepper. Fountain style.
  • Goldfish (Katherine I'm still addicted!)

5 things I would do if I suddenly became a billionarie...

  • quit my job. (Is that bad?)
  • Buy a house (a big one. yeah maybe I'm a little vain)
  • Pay off all of our family's debt.
  • Go on a freakin nice vacation.
  • Invest.
  • Buy Brady a brand new white F-150. With big tires. and tinted windows. and leather...
  • go shopping! WOW that would be fun!
  • Pay tithing.
  • Invest in a charity.
  • Give BYU a bunch of money. Sorry Andrea, I'm true blue.
  • Find a way to change the world.
  • Ok so I got carried away...that was a fun question!

5 bad habits...

  • Biting my nails. It's disgusting, I know.
  • Not washing my face everyday. I'm actually working on this one.
  • Not making dinner for Brady. That I'm not getting better at.
  • Getting distracted at work. but..but..there are only 6 calls on hold right now.
  • Not exercising. Katelyn tries every day and I'm such a schmuck.

  • Basin City, WA - New house. I love home.
  • Provo, UT - heritage halls. Where I met some amazing people!

  • BYU Independent Study - Front Desk Supervisor. Current job.

5 things most people don't know about me...

  • There are no calls on hold right now!! WOW. That is truly amazing. It's going to be a great weekend!
  • I have over 70 employees and I've done (given, not had) over 100 interviews in the last 8 months. Just writing that made me exhaused.
  • I pretty much consider Provo home now.
  • I'm re-reading the Twilight series for the 3rd time now...in preparation for the 4th book to come out. AND I went to the Stephenie Meyer signing last weekend. Yes, I'm a nerd.
  • um... I think thats all.

This was kinda fun. I tag..... Katherine, Lisa, Carly, Laura and um anyone else.

I love getting to know new things about you! and I love that you bite your nails like me. Except I feel like I am always thinking how beautiful your hands are so you must not be a bad nail biter. I can't wait for book # 4

You're rereading the Twilight series for the third time? Haha. You're hardcore. That's funny. I miss not seeing you guys as much. Are you going to the softball game tonight? Last time I went Andy tricked me and said you were going to be there but you were working. Pretty cruel huh?;)
