Maria "tagged" me to do this a while ago. I usually don't participate in such activities (it's just not my style), but I am going to indulge just this once. Plus, I feel like I haven't had anything to write about for a while.
10 years ago:
1. I was just starting my first year of high school at dear old AF high
2. I rode to school every day with my sister, Tara, who drove a car that looked exactly like the DeLorean from Back to the Future
3. I had just gotten my braces off (after 3 long years of metal mouth and head gear at night)
4. I was playing on the soccer team for my high school. I felt pretty special because they bumped me from JV to Varsity (I didn't play much Varsity... I think they just needed an extra body)
5. I had a big crush on Avery Johnson (who later became my first kiss)
5 things on today's to do list:
1. Work
2. Make tin foil dinners and other preparations for tonight's big camping trip
3. Try to talk Michael out of going camping because it's too cold*
4. Be a good sport and go camping anyway
5. Freeze to death and wait until morning
*Normally, I am a huge fan of camping. I especially love it on warm summer nights. Unfortunately, because of my extreme nausea (which is getting better), we have been unable to camp this past summer. Michael wants to make up for it now. I struggle when it's cold. I'll be sure to take many many blankets.
5 favorite snacks:
1. Rice crispy treats. I love them so much I think I could eat a whole pan in one day.
2. Chex Muddy Buddies (I sense a cereal based theme)
3. Peaches. Late summer/early fall is my favorite fruit season.
4. Green shakes (when I 'm not pregnant)
5. Chips and Queso from Cafe Rio. If you haven't indulged in this delight, I highly recommend it. Don't do it too often or you will clog your arteries.
5 things I would do if I were a billionaire:
1. Start more orphanages. A few years ago, I spent 3 months volunteering in several different orphanages in Quito, Ecuador, and I fell in love with those children. There are so many children in the world who live on the streets and I would like to alleviate some of that.
2. Pay for free health clinics for the un- and under-insured in this country. I have volunteered as an RN in a free clinic here in SLC and you would not believe the need.
3. Travel. I love to travel. My first stop would be Machu Pichu. Then I'd go to Thailand. I want to see the pyramids in Egypt and the Great wall of China. Oh yeah...Stonehenge, Easter Island, Galapagos Island, Alaska, Mt. Kilimanjaro, Europe, EVERYWHERE!
4. Pay off all of my debts and the debts of my family members.
5. Hire a full time cook for my home
5 places I have lived:
1. American Fork, UT
2. Salt Lake City, UT
3. Quito, Ecuador
4. Midvale, UT
5. Back to American Fork

Your first kiss was named after a label company! Or so it seems.
I could go for some Rice Krispies treats and Chex Muddy Buddies right now. It's been years since I've had either of those treats. Mmmm...
I hope the nausea keeps getting better and goes away completely soon. Before the other symptoms start.
Natalie, you're having a boy!! Yay! Our boys will be about the same age and Katie's boy too! How fun! Maybe they'll all go to the U together and be roomies!
I love peaches so much too! I wish I could've gone up to Brigham City for Peach Days, but we couldn't make it this year... maybe next! My parents did have a nice peach tree in their backyard that produced lots of yummy peaches so we still got to enjoy them. :)
You are such a trooper for going camping when it's cold and being pregnant and all! Michael is one lucky husband!
ummmm....muddy buddies! How did camping go?
