10 Years Ago:
I had just gotten married to Jared and we were living on love in a 300 sq ft apartment. I remember it was a BIG deal to eat McD's $.45 cheeseburgers! We were very happy.
5 Years Ago:
We had just moved to Midland and 2 months later I had Eric. It was the most difficult transition I have ever made. I quit my full time job that I loved, became a stay at home mom to 2 kids all at once, moved out of my 3/2/1 house into a 2 bedroom apartment, and to a place where I had NO support network. Plus Jared hated his job and was really moody!
5 Months Ago:
I guess I was in Lubbock for Thanksgiving and teasing my sister-in-law about being pregnant. I guess that wasn't such a wise thing to do!
5 Things on my To Do list today:
1. laundry---this is ALWAYS on my list
2. mop kitchen
3. have a plumber come
4. teacher appreciation gifts
5. price things at Sam's for the ward party this weekend
5 Snacks I enjoy:
1. apples
2. chocolate
3. wheat thins
4. ice cream (if it is after the kids' bedtime)
5. cookie dough is always a nice treat
5 Things I would do if I was suddenly a billionaire:
1. Pay tithing and all other debts I owe.
2. Pay off current house and move to one with at least 4 bedrooms...I'm a big dreamer, huh!
3. Jared and I have always wanted to have a perpetual mission fund. We could pay for people to go on missions...and ourselves.
4. Set up college funds for ALL of my kids. Right now I think we could pay for 2 of them and 3 of them are going to have to be really smart, athletic, or lucky that the other 4 kids are all in college too! I think I would go back to school too.
5. Go on several vacations with Jared (however we will definitely NOT be bringing home any more children because of them!)
5 of my Bad Habits:
1. not planning enough time to get ready and then getting frustrated when we are late
2. getting sidetracked
3. staying up too late
4. doing something unimportant to avoid something that really needs to be done
5. not listening well
5 Places I have Lived: --I've only got 4
1. Midland, TX
2. Lubbock, TX
3. Portland, TX
4. Edmond, OK
5 Things People don't know about me:
1. I can still remember a bad dream I had when I was about 5yrs old about giant killer ants.
2. I can touch my tongue to my nose.
3. I was once in a dorm fire. For about 30 seconds I was sure I wouldn't be able to make it out of the building because of the smoke in front of me and the crowd of people behind me that wouldn't let you turn back to try another way out.
4. I wanted to be a hairdresser when I grew up (until I was about 14)
5. I am afraid of drowning even though I swam competitively for years...go figure.
5 People I Tag:
1. Jaimie
2. Emily

Killer ants huh. Mine was the evil fairy in Sleeping Beauty. She kidnapped my Dad and put him in a hole in my front yard. I still don't like to watch her.
YOU are afraid of drowning? That one surprises me... And I loved it when you would teach me how to do my dolls' hair when we were growing up!
I have a bad dream that I remember from when we were in Oklahoma. Apparently the A-Team turned evil and I had to protect the family and the house from them. And to think, Mr. T was supposed to be a good guy. The crazy thing is, I remember nothing of the layout or look of the Oklahoma house except for the images from that dream.
I love the giant killer ants... I always had nightmares about spiders!
I had nightmares about gremlins in swimming pools. It comes back to haunt me every once in awhile.
I'd think after the dorm fire I'd be afraid of dying in a fire. That would be so scary!
