TAGGED!! DAGNABIT!
So I have never done one of these but here goes....

Where was I 10 years ago...Wow that is a looong time to think, but I was actually at a HUGE turning point in my life, MAN just thinking about it actually made me start crying again which I have not done in years but, I had just decided to to place my baby for adoption and was in the process of finding the right family for him. I was such a mess but pulled through with the help of the most AWESOME people in the world, my parents. They were my rock in life and are the reason I am who I am today!( even though they might not want to claim that:) ) I had just gotten my drivers license as well and was enjoying driving EVERYWHERE! I was working at a movie theater and loved to watch the sneek peaks at midnight with my older sister and her friends, those were GOOD TIMES!

Where was I 5 years ago....Well Samm had just turned one and we had gotten our first christmas tree which was OH about 2ft tall:) ya cant really get into christmas with a 1 year old people:) I had recently started working for good old Discover Card too! Man they have me stuck! and we had just found out the previous month that we were expecting again! wahoo i was soo excited!

Where was I 1 year ago...lets see baby # 4 was a couple months old and I was still on the good old maternity leave! My sister in law was about to move from Oregon to come live by us!! I cant believe it has only been a year!

Where was i yesterday..well that is a real bummer answer cause I was at work talking to cranky people that did not want to pay there bills! but I did go to Crown Burger for the first time in my life and can you say HEAVEN!!! it was sooo good, I am not into burgers so i have never gone but i heard they had other things so i got this chicken uro thingy anyway yummy!..then i came home to haven and sammy with the flu, TONS OF FUN!

5 snacks I enjoy...I totally LOVE chips i can eat a whole can of pringles in like 2 hours if ya let me!! and BROWNIES man what an evil thing to create! i can snack on those all day too!..I also LOVE red grapes they are the best straight from the fridge..lets see i also enjoy eggs sounds weird but i can whip an egg up anytime just to snack:) and last i would have to say cheese and crackers, I mean who does not like to slice your own cheese get some good ritz and veg in front of the T.V?

5 things I'd do with a million bucks...Buy a house for all my siblings on the same street ( i think that would take all my money, I have 3 sisters and 4 brothers) lets see I would go on a HUGE clothes shopping spree!...I would go to paris... I would help out in Africa..and then just maybe put some away for retirement:)

5 places to run away to .. MY MOMS HOUSE where it would be like the good old days where she was the mom and took care of everything! then San Fransisco! I LOVE it there, although i would have to take my sister cause my hubby hates crowds. I would spend a lifetime in Hawaii. Paris for maybe a couple of weeks..and then if it ment no more working MY home would be the best place to run to FOREVER!

5 T.V shows...I am sorry I don't watch much tv so i am going to say 5 favorite movies cause I love going to the movies! lets see...#1 The Fugitive..I would marry harrison ford anyday:) #2 The little mermaid..I always envied her! #3 Fried Green Tomatoes .. need I say more! #4 The Notebook I hope my marriage stays that way !!! #5 Mr.& Mrs. Smith that show is pretty much what every marriage at some point wanted to do to each other..LOL

5 Things I hate doing...1. I hate doing the dishes, so that is matts only chore. 2. I hate filling the gas tank in the car, i let it run soo low i am surprised i have never ran out of gas. 3- I hate trying to lose weight in my world i could eat whatever i wanted when i wanted and NEVER work out, but that was just not in my gene pool! 4- i hate cleaning bathrooms every last inch of them i can not stand to think about having to clean them so sorry if you come to my house it will probably not be cleaned but once every 2 months...maybe...5- I hate doing homework even though i am not in school i now have to do my childrens for the next 18 years!! YUCK!

5 Joys... of course my hubby-matt- he is such a character he is fun to be with, as long as we are not disciplining the kids:) and he is such an amazing fixer of everything that guy knows something about everything! 2- my kids! what can i say more.. they are awesome they give me UPS and DOWNS! they are what life is all about..even though i HATE homework:) 3- Family, without them I would be pretty bored cause who else is gonna hang out with someone with 4 kids???? 4- my van, i could not do anything without it! 5- a camera , how can you not enjoy capturing life?!

6 interesting things about me? well this is gonna be a hard one......I love to wake up early in the morning and start cleaning...2- My kids all have there name starting with a letter out of my name( matt thinks that is sooo weird and he hates it, that is why we have to have 9 kids!)3-I favor my left side over my right side...i always thought i would grow out of that? 4-I love to talk and be around people and crowds but yet when you ask me to talk in front of everyone i want to cry! that is why being in the primary presidency will be good for me.5-I have been a nanny and have always enjoyed children so my dream is to become a elementary teacher.6- I enjoy making people mad while i am driving..ya know like going slow when they are trying to cut through everyone, cutting people off.. it is a REALLY bad habit, not many people know that!hehe!

well there is my some what interesting life..I tag

Jen, Jenn & Jennifer you're it!!
