I was tagged by my friend Holly, and I tag Andrea, Sarah, Carrie, and Mary.
TEN YEARS AGO:
I was turning 15 at the end of this month. I was a freshman in high school at Crystal Lake Central (in Illinois.) I was very quiet and shy and felt out of place. My best friends were KaLee, Laurel, Katie, and Andrea. I think I wasn't really sure who I was or where I fit in exactly and I was really naive. I sort of believed everyone around be was good like me and that drugs, drinking, partying, and intimate behavior was not such a big thing (again, I was naive.) I really found myself and where I fit in a couple years down the line when I became LDS. If at the time you told me I would of converted, gone to school out in Idaho, got married at 19, and had a little boy right now I would have thought you were nuts!
5 PLACES I HAVE LIVED:
1. Crystal Lake, IL
2. Rexburg, ID
3. Provo, Utah
4. West Jordan, Utah
(That's all!)
5 THINGS ON MY TO DO LIST:
1. First and formost take care of Dawson and whatever he needs
2. Laundry...I swear it doubles when you have a kid...
3. Make a return to Target
4. Check my internet banking
5. Take care of Personal Progress stuff for church
I ENJOY:
Nice weather, being outside and taking walks in the evening when it's nice out. I love when it stays light out til 9pm. I like watching movies on the back of our house with a projector...so fun! I love scrapbooking and have 8 full books. I enjoy reading, baking, and finding new recipes. I like going out to dinner on a Friday night. I enjoy Me, Chris, and Dawson cuddling up in our bed with our pj's on and watching a movie (usually a Disney one.)
The thing I love the most though is being a Mom. I know it might sound cliche to some people, but being able to stay at home and take care of Dawson is so much fun. If I never have to work again, that's ok. I want to be the Mom that drives her kids to school and picks them up, has treats for them, help out at their schools and volunteer. I want to take them to their various activities and be there for everything. I know this is what I was meant to do. I enjoy everyday with Dawson and seeing him grow up and discover things. I love his little laugh, his sweet hugs, and wet kisses.
2 BAD HABITS:
1. Biting my nails. I have my whole life, and probably will.
2. Letting my laundry pile up. I don't mind putting it in and out of the washer and dryer, but I hate folding it and putting it away. Yuck.
5 THINGS YOU MIGHT NOT KNOW ABOUT ME:
1. I have a poem I wrote in high school published in a poem book.
2. I have always secretly wanted to steal bowling shoes. I never will cause I don't steal, but I have always thought it would be fun to have a pair.
3. I have hair extensions. I got the real kind, real hair that is single strands that are attached to my hair. I love them. They give me a couple inchs in length, but really they make my hair looks thick and full cause I have flat, thin, fine hair.
4. I could pretty much quote the entire movie Home Alone. I love it and watch it multiple times during the Christmas season.
5. I love shoes, especially ballet flats. I have about 25 pairs of ballet flats alone.
5 JOBS I HAVE HAD:
1. Julie Ann's Frozen Custard (during high school, it was an ice cream store)
2. BYU-Idaho Bookstore (I stocked their shelves, tagged things, did inventory)
3. Maurice's (clothing store)
4. Zion's Bank (bank teller)
5. Receptionist at Miller Guymon (a law firm)
There you have it, the insides of me! Sorry if it was long and boring! I look forward to reading the people that I have tagged!
Of Course, he got some no-no's and was pulled down but not until I took a picture. Later that night when Chris got home I said "Guess what Dawson did?" I showed him the picture and a guilty look came over his face. He told me that when he does laundry he puts Dawson on the soap container so he can "help." Little did he know Dawson would take matters into his own hands!
