10 Years Ago
I was 15 years old and just finishing up my last year of jr. high. It was a hard year and I learned a lot about myself. For those of you who didn't know me during that time, I struggled with self-image and lost 25 lbs . . . not good when I was only 125 to begin with. Friends and family were so vital for me during that time and I couldn't have done it without them. I also got my drivers license right about this time of year. Soon after that I ran into a parked car at Wal-mart (Sheena and Jenelle probably remember that). Ah, good times.

5 Years Ago
I was 20 and I met my future husband Benj! He was my next door neighbor and we hung out with him and his two friends Tony and Chris. It was a great time, but looking back I wish I had concentrated more on my classes and not spending so many late hours playing games. I was finishing up working for Convergys and was a Sprint Customer Service Specialist. I didn't make it longer than 6 months. It was NOT a fun job. Went to Ohio for the summer and worked as a lifeguard.

We were just moving out of my mother-in-law's house into our own place. I love my mother-in-law but we were so ready to make our own home. Moved into our current place, Pages Place Townhomes. I also was interviewing for my current job at Integrated Wellness. Little did I know how great this job would turn out to be. I love the environment, the people, and using my college skills. Benj, Marcy, and I also took a trip down to Arizona to visit Benj's brother and family. It was a blast. We were almost at our 1 year anniversary and loving every new experience we were having together.

Yesterday
I worked out, cleaned the house, did some grocery shopping. I made a new goal to work out more often and eat better. Threw out leftover cake and pop from the weekend. Went into work around 12:30. After work I went to a Stake Young Women Training. It was wonderful. I have definately learned a lot in my calling. We enjoyed a yummy dinner and a program after. After I got home, I told Benj about my goal but he just wasn't as excited to do it as I was. We finally agreed to work out more together and I told Benj I wouldn't tell him what he should/shouldn't eat. :) Watched American Idol on my computer since our Dish stopped working on Monday. Overall a pretty good day.

I Enjoy:
Pink and white blossoms on the trees, organizing and making lists, a good laugh, snuggling with my hubby, watching a tear-jerker movie, Ghiradelli brownies (I always think of you Annie!), baby's arms reaching for me, the feeling after a hard workout, and enjoying the outdoors.

5 TV Shows:
The Office, American Idol, Ugly Betty, Hell's Kitchen, and anything on HGTV or TLC

5 Things I Hate:
Hate is a strong word, but I really dislike being cold, bad odors, a bad hair day, breaking out, and being bossed around (I'm stubborn . . . I like doing things my way. Right, honey?).

5 Joys in my Life:
The gospel, close family and friends, my husband, gorgeous music, and beautiful surroundings.

I TAG ALL OF YOU!!!
