About Me

Where was I 10 years ago:

I would have been 16 years old with a license to drive!!!! That sounds scary. Attending Good old A.F High as a Jr. I could have been sluffing school with my friends driving around in my cool brown Buick Park Avenue that sounded like a train when I honked the horn.(ya it was embarrassing). Oh but I had alot of fun in that car.

5 things on my to do list today:

Finish this tag thing from Jana (thanks Jana!)
Get some jeans on(I've been lazy in my sweats all day,had no where to go)
Go to the church for scouts.
Cook dinner
Walk on my treadmill (bummer!)
Watch biggest looser

5 Snacks I enjoy:

Of course Popcorn is #1 my favorite is air poped and movie theater with butter and salt. real healthy ha. That's why I don't have it very often but when I do I'm in heaven.
Chips and Mom's home made salsa
I like chocolate on occasion
A good Diet Dr. Pepper from hearts
Veggies and dip


5 Places I have lived:

Can I say Disneyland, Disneyland and Disneyland.
Vegas
San Fransisco

No where to exotic (someday I'm hoping)

What would I do if I were suddenly made a Billionaire:

I would definitely buy a new house with a lot of land so Ryker could ride his motorcycle, 4-wheeler and of course horses. I would give everyone in my family and Chace's family money and take everyone on a nice trip... I could go on for ever baby! but i will stop now.

5 jobs I have had:

My first little job was cleaning houses with my neighbor Lizzy.
5 buck pizza in American Fork.
A cashier at Lee's roundup chevron in American Fork
Teller at Bank of American Fork
Being a mom (that job never stops but it's well worth it!)
