Tagged Again!! Thanks, Summer!!

10 years ago: Wow, that was a while ago. But if I think about it, that was a really great time of my life. I felt very strongly that I should move to Vancouver after I got my bachelors and pursue a career in Journalism. I was living in Vancouver Canada with my best friend in the world, Janice. We had so much fun that year. I had the best friends and we were always doing something fun. We would go to the "Ham" (Bellingham Washington) on alot of the weekends. I was dating my other best friend at the time and we had alot of fun. I guess he turned out to be better as a friend than a boyfriend thank heavens!! I got sick of the rain and my job and decided to move to greener pastures (the USA). Good thing I did!!!

5 things on today's to-do list
1) Clean my messy house, and be extra patient and have more fun with my kids like we learned on the BYU talk on parenting. Thanks, Michaun!!
2) Call people to invite to Natalie's B-day party tomorrow
3) Make doctor's apts. for Kason and Brigham for their immunization shots
4) Do yoga
5) Make dinner using some pureed vegetable mixed in to trick my kids

If I were made a billionaire:
Like Summer and Jon, we would pay off all of our debt which TJ would thoroughly enjoy! We might upgrade some of our living amenities. Truthfully, I think TJ and I would love to help the less fortunate because now we would have the means to do it!! We would buy more fridges to put frozen dinners to give to people who are having a hard time. We would buy our parents what ever they need to make their lives happier and easier for them. Like the Christiansen family, we would NOT spoil our kids, so we wouldn't tell them about our billions!! That is how I remember my dad being! Even when we all knew he was doing well with his business he never acted like he did. We were still drinking powdered milk and eating borsh. Ofcourse we wouldn't go that far! (No offense dad!!, I love you!!) We would take our kids to restaurants more, get a cleaning lady, and enjoy the little things with our kids more because we would have the time and money to do it!!

Jobs I've had:
I have worked at a health food store packing spices and working as a cashier (when I was in highschool). I did those telephone surveys when I was in college. I was a the graduate advisor's assistant when I was in grad school. I was also an audiologist's assistant when I was in grad school. I was a nanny to a family which I still adore. I was a speech pathologist. And now I am doing my favorite job which is being a mom!! (Cheesy, but true!)

5 things people don't know about me:
1) It bothers me when people say bad things about other people. I am not perfect at this by any means, but I can't stand to hear people talking down about others, do they feel better about themselves when they do? And it's not like you can call them on it! I guess all I can do is try to be better at it myself.
2) I love the ocean more than mountains and definitely more than the desert!
3) I am scared to death of terminal illness and anything that doesn't have a happy ending and don't like talking or hearing about it. I am much happier in my own little world believing everything is going to be all right.
4) I have known I was meant to live in the states ever since I was a little girl and that really bothered some of my elementary education teachers because they thought Canada was the best! I still remember one teacher arguing with me about how much better Canada was. I am glad I didn't listen to her!!
5) My favorite foods are citrus. I love grapefruits, oranges etc.

Hope you guys learned something! I tag Angie, Britney, Michaun and April. Have fun girls!!
