I was tagged!

So i occasionally visit my sister-in-law Lora's blog, and i noticed she tagged me for a survey! So now i must fill it out.

5 things I was doing 10 years ago:


1. I was in 6th grade running varsity cross country with my older brother. i qualified for state.
2. I lost in the spelling bee that year to my first ever boyfriend, jack.
3. I visited chicago with my mom that year. i think. that, or washington DC. one of them was 7th grade, the other was 6th, i can't remember. And that spawned my love for traveling.
4. One of my best friends growing up, Whitney, moved into my ward that year.
5. My induction to the young women's program! best times of my life.

5 things on my to-do list:

1. Get a job that pays well until i graduate.
2. Graduate, and then get a job that pays well.
3. Move out of Utah.
4. Gain more self control.
5. Find someone who i think is amazing and who thinks the same of me :)

5 of my favorite snacks/food:

1. STEAK.
2. Salad.
3. Ice cream, usually chocolate.
4. Halloween candy.
5. Los Hermanos

5 things I would do if I was a billionaire:

1. Get a new wardrobe.
2. Buy a business.
3. Buy my dream house.
4. Travel everywhere
5. Go to the graduate school of my choice.

5 bad habits I have:

1. Thinking i'm right most of the time.
2. Less self control than i'd like to admit.
3. Forgetting that God is in control.
4. My lack of energy to work out as much as i should
5. Blowing off math as much as possible.

5 Places I've lived:

1. Louisville, KY
2. Provo, UT
3. Rexburg, ID
4. Namibia, Africa (4 months)
5. Tokyo, Japan (4 months)

5 things most people don't know about me:

1. I've been to 5 out of 7 continents (australia and antartica are still on my places to visit)
2. I probably love my dog just as much as anyone else in my family
3. I love art. and it's probably because every time i tried to play a sport growing up, i injured myself to the point where i couldn't play. and so i became an art kid.
4. Even though i'm going to be a counselor, sometimes i hate talking to people.
5. I've broken my arms 3 times each, not to mention other broken bones/injuries. My parents were on a first name basis with the emergency room for the first 10 years of my life.

update time

It is weird to know i will be graduating in april. I know i've thought about graduating, but i can't say i've thought through the mechanics. i have no idea what i'm really doing afterwards and frankly, it scares me.

But, so far so good this semester. the new ward is a bit weird - all the cool people that were left from our last huge move all pretty much left by this semester. We have some really fun girls that moved in, but the boys are severely lacking. oh well, not like that's a shocker.

I would post some pictures of the good times that i have had since the beginning of the semester, BUT somehow my facebook account was hacked, thus facebook disabled my account, at least for the time being. so all 35 of my picture albums are currently unavailable to me right now.

I'll at least tell you that blessed mark threw a fantastic costume party. and i'm throwing a cowboys and indians party for my birthday/halloween. i've also been on a few good dates, which of course nothing has come out of them...but still good. AND tresa and i are currently involved in a series of pranks on various neighbors.

oh, and i'm definitely one step closer to being over a certain someone as of today. and i can't express how good that feels. :) i can't say it's all the way gone, but almost. so very very close. in retrospect, i knew this would happen. ironic, considering i always swore this would never happen to me. but whatever.
