My friend DeLaine tagged me almost a month ago now (sorry, D!) so here it is.

 

10 YEARS AGO:
I was finishing up my freshman year of college at BYU, still completely undecided about my major, and getting ready to go home to New Hampshire for the summer.


5 THINGS ON MY TO DO LIST
Go to the library and check out a book on gardening/landscaping

Buy a rake with which to rake last fall's (and the fall before's) leaves that are still in my backyard

Fix the dead patches on our lawn

Relandscape our front yard (Do you sense a theme here? LOL)

Work on the scrapbook class I am taking

 

5 SNACKS THAT I ENJOY
Vanilla ice cream with strawberries and nutella

Fresh cherries

Homemade butter crescent rolls

Chocolate chip cookies

Parmesan goldfish (my girls are rubbing off on me)

 

5 PLACES I HAVE LIVED
Winthrop, Maine

Northwood, New Hampshire

Provo, Utah

Orem, Utah

Auburn, Washington


WHAT I WOULD DO IF I SUDDENLY BECAME A BILLIONAIRE:
Buy Matt his dream car (a blue mustang with white stripes and his football # 72 painted on the doors)

Build my dream house on the water with a huge kitchen and sewing/scrapbooking/craft room for me, a gym for Matt, and a huge round playroom with windows all around for the girls, with a huge wraparound porch and perfectly landscaped yard and filled with pottery barn furniture and decorations

Pay off my parents' and Matt's parents' homes

Donate lots of money to Down syndrome research, kids who need therapy but can't get it because their insurance doesn't cover it, and educating pregnant moms who get a positive Down syndrome diagnosis that it is really a blessing

Secretly buy dinner for couples or families at other tables every time we go out to eat


5 JOBS I'VE HAD
Steinbach Department Store (lingerie department, whoo whoo)

JC Penney

GapKids/The Gap

Telephone survey taker (for 2 whole weeks and then I just never went back, it was so not fun)

Server & Trainer at Ruby River Steakhouse


5 THINGS YOU MAY NOT KNOW ABOUT ME
I love to sing and often make up my own words to songs that apply to whatever we are doing

Once a year for the last four years I have hit an inanimate object while driving my car

I always burn grilled cheese sandwiches

I have never mowed the lawn in my life and plan to keep it that way

When I was younger I wanted to be a fashion designer for the Gap when I grew up

 

Ok, so now that you know all about me I will tag my darling husband Matt and my friends Kim and Stefanie. I hope you don't take as long to do it as I did!

I swear, Meag, I would have pegged you as being much younger. You just do not look like you were a freshman in college 10 years ago. I would have guessed 3 or 4 years ago.
Also, you should try mowing a lawn someday. I used to love to do it bare foot. Something about that freshcut grass on my feet and the smell of it, I loved it. Of course that was 20 years ago, or more. And I didn't care that it turned my feet green. :-D Not very safe either, so nevermind, the magic is gone.

Hey! Instead of building a house with a scrapbooking room, I should teach you how to digi scrap...less messy, cheaper, and you can be pretty darn creative!

I remember when you wanted to be a fashion designer! You were also voted best dressed in the 8th grade!
