Tagged by Melissa

So, I feel the same way about these tag games as I do about the "get to know your friends" emails -interesting to read, but a pain to fill out, and generally to be ignored. However since it's a little more visible to everyone I'd feel guilty just ignoring it and since it's only 7 questions I'll answer them. I think I'll have Richard answer them as well since it is our family blog, and I'll consider him the person I tag to fulfill that requirement and thus avoid that guilt.

WHERE I WAS TEN YEARS AGO:
I was a freshman in high school, looking forward to the end of school, playing in the AA soccer league which held games in the spring, liking chemistry, and learning to drive stick in my parents' red Nissan Sentra.

THINGS ON MY TO DO LIST TODAY:
Luckily it's Sunday, so not much, however I do need to make dinner for us and Elisabeth since Scott and Shauna are out of town, do some laundry so Ethan has something to wear to church (It's an ox in the mire type thing right?), take a shower, feed Ethan, and read my scriptures. And all this before Church.

THINGS I WOULD DO IF I WERE A BILLIONAIRE:
Well, first pay off all my families debts, donate some to the church and various charities, then I would put enough in the bank so I could live off the interest for the rest of my life and Richard would not have to work unless he wanted to, then I'd buy some nice land with forest and such making it into a wildlife reserve and build a house in the middle of it with a bunch of nice cabins for family to come and visit us--that is, when we're not traveling the world. Oh yeah, and I would hire a maid so I could just play all day with my kids. :)

3 BAD HABITS:
Hmm, where do I start?
1. Underestimating how long it takes me to get ready an thus being late.
2. Letting the house get really dirty before cleaning it.
3. Procrastinating cooking dinner so I can talk my starving husband into going out.


5 PLACES I'VE LIVED:
Mapleton, UT
Logan, UT
Rexburg, ID
Poland (Wroclaw, Krakow, Katowice, Bydgoszc, and Warsaw)
Jackson, WY

5 JOBS I'VE HAD:
Housekeeper for a lady with five cats and a dog that lived indoors. Yuck!
Telephone Consumer Surveys.
Auditor for the financial department at USU.
Evening custodian at BYU-I.
Weed sprayer... I mean, Weed Management Technician in Jackson Hole, WY.

SOMETHING PEOPLE DON'T KNOW ABOUT ME:
I was in the Utah Valley Handbell Choir for a few years. Here's the cover of our CD.


Tag Richard.

Um, reading that you were a *freshman* in *high school* 10 years ago makes me feel quite old.

I love the photo of Ethan on the sidebar. What a happy boy!

Thanks Laura. The people I tagged were people least likely to respond, so I am glad you did. I feel like I got to know more about you--handbell! I didn't even know! CD and everything. I love your billionaire answer.
I was going to suggest that spouses had to respond too, so I hope Richard does.

Laura-

You have my enduring admiration for your bell accomplishments. Any chance we could talk you into coming out of retirement? By the way, is that Alice from the Brady Bunch to your immediate bell-ringing Right?
Great! Will
