Finally I am completing my Tag assignment

(Jen tagged me on March 15th, the wait is finally over--see "Bad Habits section")


Ten years ago...
I was working at Jean Brown Associates, Inc. as an accounting assistant (my “college” job). I was attending the University of Utah. I was planning my June wedding to my sweet Herb.



5 places I've visited (most recent 5 places outside of Utah)...

1. March 2008-Chicago, Illinois to work at a Time Out For Women event.

2. September 2007-Boise, Idaho to attend a Time Out For Women event with my sisters-in-law Pam & Mandy.
3. March 2007-Houston, TX to work at a Time Out For Women event.
4. December 2006-Disneyland!!!!! The best family vacation ever! Can’t wait to go again in October.
5. June 2006-Washington, DC to work at a Time Out For Women event.

I enjoy...
1. Dates with my honey
2. Happy moments with my kids
3. Good friends, both old and new.
4. The change of the seasons. I’m always ready for the change. I love living here for that fact. Just when you can’t stand the heat any longer, autumn comes along and gives you relief…and so it goes… At least that’s how it’s supposed to work, and when does spring begin????
5. Creative outlets: scrapbooking, home décor, etc.
6. Being organized.
7. My job.
8. My new minivan.
9. My church calling with the young women.
10. My home.
11. Audiobooks
3 bad habits...
1. Procrastination
2. Munch, munch, munch in the afternoon.
3. Teeth clenching while I sleep (and 2 cracked teeth to show for it, OUCH!).
5 things you may not know about me...
1. I have had 11 siblings in my life (including half, step, and ex-step). Now that makes for an interesting family tree.
2. I have a birthmark on my right knee that looks like a man and woman ballroom dancing.
3. I’ve never colored my hair.
4. I had a seriously disturbing infatuation with Jerry Lee Lewis as pre-teen (Goodness Gracious Great Balls of Fire!).
5. I played the accordion in 5th grade.
5 jobs I've had...
1. Clerk at Raging Waters.
2. Dance Teacher
3. Reservation agent for Holiday Inn
4. Teacher’s Aid at Rick’s college5. Sr. Accountant for events at Deseret Book Co. (8 ½ years and going strong)

I do love your birthmark. It has such great character.

Your new layout here is outstanding. Well done. Goodness Gracious Great Balls of Fire, I like it!

Hey you! Good to hear from you. Three kids are crazy!! I'm sure I will adjust. (About how long until it feels "normal"?)

Laurel said...

The "Jerry Lee Lewis" thing is nothing but funny. I'll be mocking you for that for a LONG time.

Good thing we've given you places to go, eh? (grin)

It made me miss you guys so much to see you and Herb together....we need to get together when we come up to Utah in May.

I regret that I have never seen your ballroom dancing birthmark. I'll have to make a point to see it next time.
Yeah for Disneyland in October!
Fun tag.

Glad to report that I knew many of those things about you! love ya...and your minivan with blue tooth capabilities, still wowing over that. How is the fender...SO sorry!

Ahh...Jerry Lee Lewis! I totally forgot about your pre-teen obsession. Thanks for the reminder and the laugh. =)

I didn't know about the accordian playing. 5th grade music rocks! Did you know I played the clarinet in 5th in hopes of becoming a sax player? Should have just stuck with the piano. If only I would have listened to my Mother.

Thanks for doing the tag. I'm so blessed to have you as my BFF. You are the best! Can't wait for October....yippee!
