Tagged!!!

Ok so this looked like fun...let's see if I can do it!

20 years ago I...
1. Was a clumsy little girl
2. In third grade...but my best friend Lysey Steadman was in a different class! =(
3. Had the big bangs...the bottom half were curled under, the top half curled up and fanned out! So cute! (Not really!) Side note...my 12 year old niece was looking through my baby book the other day, and she was totally making fun of me! She kept saying "I can't believe you actually WORE that!" And all this time I thought I was so cool! lol
4. Took tap & ballet lessons

10 years ago I...
1. had just graduated from high school
2. was working for a real estate office
3. was taking some classes at SLCC
4. loved to go to THE BAY!

5 years ago I...
1. got married
2. was living in Provo, UT and loving it
3. even though we lived in the ghetto of Provo! lol
4. worked for the Willey (RC WILLEY). I still miss those people!

3 years ago I...
1. lived in the armpit of California...Victorville. If you've ever driven to Disneyland, you've passed it out in the middle of the desert. Not much to see!
2. Moved back to Utah to be closer to family again
3. Went back to work again at the University of Utah Hospital in the OB/GYN clinic. Very interesting experience...helped me realize I didn't have it in me to be a nurse!
4. Went to Tonga to meet my in-laws for the first time with Kassie. It was a little crazy traveling half way around the world with a toddler by myself...but totally worth it! It was an amazing experience that I'll never forget! Side note...my mother in law passed away half an hour after our plane left the island. My father in law passed away a month and a half later. I was so happy to have been able to meet them and let them meet their first granddaughter! I'll have to write a whole other post about that experience. It was incredible.

1 year ago I...
1. Graduated from SLCC with my associate's degree! It's about time!
2. Was pregnant with my second baby girl
3. Was the 1st counselor in the Primary in our ward
4. Was a stay at home mom for the first time...still trying to figure out how to adjust, but for the most part I love it!

This year I...
1. Had my baby girl...Abe was actually there this time and I thought he might pass out! He actually did really good though!
2. Took Kassie back to preschool. I help out in her classroom a couple times a month and it's so much fun!
3. Had my husband move back to Utah for good! Yay! Now we actually live together like husband and wife. It's been nice...except for the extra messes he makes! lol
4. am staying busy in the Primary still and loving it. (We go to a Tongan ward which is a little more chaotic, but still worth it).
5. Planned and had Abe's family reunion the end of June. My water broke (but I wasn't due for three more weeks) the first day of the reunion...I was so mad because we had put so much work into planning it, and I didn't want to miss it. I went to the reunion the first night (there was a big welcome dance) and after that, went straight to the hospital to be induced! Everybody thought I was crazy! I guess that goes to show what a woman can do when she really puts her mind to it! lol


Yesterday I...
1. Went on a field trip with Kassie's preschool class to Emigration canyon. We had fun going on a treasure hunt trying to find Fall treasures. A little scary though...my nephew picked up a bone and brought it to me...looked completely like a human radius bone! Totally freaky...we told the kids when they got scared that someone must have started decorating for Halloween! I think the school had to call the police and tell them though...
2. Took the baby in to the doctor's to get an acid reflux medicine...hopefully it works!
3. Went to a carnival that was at the school last night...got roped into doing the face painting...not quite sure how since I can NOT draw! Ended up doing a pink skeleton with cross bones on a big man...had to be at least 50 or so...little bit uncomfortable!
4. Read a good romance book by Anita Stansfield. I know, I know. I'm a sucker for a good romance!

Today I...
1. Slept in! It was heavenly!
2. Went to lunch at Bajio grill. Someone told me it was comparable to Cafe Rio. Such a disappointment...not even close!
3. Went to visit my sister at the school where she teaches 1st grade.
4. Typed this survey! (Sorry...couldn't think of anything more!)

Tomorrow I...
1. Will go on a date to the temple with my hubby to do sealings.
2. Hopefully get some cleaning done
3. Do my grocery shopping
4. Get everything ready for Sunday

Next year, hopefully, I...
1. Will be able to go back to finish my bachelor's degree
2. Go to Hawaii for Abe's nephews wedding
3. Move into a bigger house
4. Be rich! Haha. Just had to add that in. It doesn't hurt to wish though, does it?

I tag...Melinda, Belle, Brooke, Bobbi & Beckie

Gwendolyn! The little sister I never had! (Just kiddin', Lyns). I'm so happy you found me in the blog world and am lovin' all these fun posts about the haps in your life. I know we've said this FOREVER, but we really need to schedule a playdate. I want to see this gorgeous baby girl for myself! Listen - we're right in the middle of moving but the SECOND I get my new phone hooked up, I'm calling you. Can you email me your number?
