TAGGED!

So I am sooo slow at getting this done, but here are all the things you ever wanted (or not) to know about me!

TEN YEARS AGO.......I was getting packed up to move to Utah. We were trying to sell our house (it sold the day we packed the truck), finish repairs, saying good bye to my friends for the last 13 years. It was scary and exciting at the same time. We knew this is where we were supposed to be, but it was hard to leave and start over.

FIVE PLACES THAT I HAVE VISITED.........I have never been out of the US, but have been to 15 states, here's a few...Nashville, Tennessee in high school, yes I went to Graceland!(1979), Colorado (too many places to name, one of our favorite places), San Francisco, California (2003), one of our best trips ever, we screamed when we saw the ocean! I loved Muir Woods and the beach, even if it was cold! Seattle, Washington (1993) Mark sent me to visit my friend Carmen for 4 days, Nauvoo, Illinois (1986) we had three little girls then and went to all the church historic sights, someday I'd love to do that one again.

FIVE THINGS ON MY TO DO LIST........Finish putting my pictures in photo albums (forget scrap booking, I just want them organized!)... do my laundry, I have no excuse it's all mine, the boys do their own!... sweep up all the sheet rock mess in the basement... plant the 5 bags of bulbs I bought last week... finish the frames we are making for the Young Women's birthdays in our ward (we started them in January!)

I ENJOY..........Being home with my family, camping, reading, playing with Sydney, baking, watching American Idol, Heroes and Lost (when they're on!) , serving in Young Womens, going out with my hubby.

THREE BAD HABITS........neglecting other things to finish a good book...once I get started I can't stop! Okay! I stole that one from Marissa, but I am the queen of putting off to read, just ask my family!... I am terrible at keeping my bedroom clean, it seems to be the catch-all room...drinking Dr. Pepper, even if it is diet!


FIVE THINGS YOU MAY NOT KNOW ABOUT ME......... 1)I am a "Meals On Wheels" volunteer 1 day a week, it feels good to give back to the community; 2) I collect heart shaped rocks, I have about 60 in every size, from 1/2 inch to 14 inches, people bring them to me from their trips. I have some from Hawaii, Tahiti, Michigan, every vacation we've ever taken! 3) I get my nails done every 2 weeks, I know it's an indulgence, but I'm hooked! 4) I read 1-2 books a week and have read every LDS novel ever written-okay not every one but almost, I read a little bit of everything, my favorites include the Twilight series and Garden Spells and The Fortune Quilt (not LDS novels) 5) My favorite movie is "A Walk To Remember" I have bought 2 of the soundtrack CDs because I wore out the first!

FIVE JOBS THAT I HAVE HAD.............Waitress at Stake and Ale, yes I wore the short skirt and peasant top!...Cashier at Farrell's Ice Cream Parlor...Bank Teller at 3 different banks, including Vault Teller at the First Security Bank at Trolley Square...Ironing Lady, I took ironing in when the kids were little, I got really good and now I don't iron unless I absolutely have to!...And now Assistant Circulation Supervisor at Whitmore Library in Salt Lake City.

Well, there you have, that's me in a nutshell! I hope you weren't too bored!
