Utah trip

William and me at my mom's house

Olivia at Lori's house in one of Shelby's old dance costumes. She told me that her Fairy Godmother had come and said Bibbidi Bobbodi Boo and given her this dress.

We had a great time! Jason drove us up and flew home so we would have a car.He flew back to get us a couple of weeks later. Three of my sisters live close to Salt Lake City and my sister from Boston was visiting, so we all got to be together! It was just like the good ole days. It gets a little crazy when we get together with all of our kids. But it was super fun. The kids and I stayed with my sister Lori, since Amy and her two girls were staying with mom. (Thanks Lori!) We went to Lagoon, shopping, and hung out a lot together. We even made a trip to Spanish Fork where we spent most of our growing up years. We hit the local greasy drive-inn restaurant "Glades" where Amy and I both worked during high school. The food is so yummy, but so bad for your arteries. We had a picnic at the park and let the kids play. The memories really came flooding back. We also had a family reunion. My mom only has one brother and he and his wife were able to come. It was really nice to see them. I got my hair cut about five inches which feels great in this hot AZ weather! I love it.

I just have to say how much I love all of my sisters! It is hard to believe that we are such good friends now and fought like crazy when we were younger! I am so thankful for all of them. We are each very unique and similar at the same time.

Tagged by my friend Elise....

So finally I have a reason to blog.... Elise tagged me with these questions. I have to confess that I never do these things when I get them on my email, but I always like to read other people's answers. Plus, I can hear Jenn in the background saying it's about time that I posted something. I have been in Utah visiting my family so I have more to blog....come back soon. I will post some pics of my new haircut too!



What were you doing 10 years ago? Living at home in Spanish Fork, UT-Working, going to UVSC and growing my hair back in the places where I lost hair from the radiation.



5 things on my to do list. 1. Vacuum 2. Play with Olivia 3. Call about preschool for Olivia 4.Clean Olivia's bathroom. 5. Make dinner



What snacks do I enjoy? Lately, my favorite thing is chocolate milk. I have crossed over from skim milk to 1 % and put Nestle Quick in it. It is the best.



What would I do if I were suddenly a billionaire? I would pay off Jason's student loans. I would buy my mom a new car and house and whatever else she wanted. I would buy a fantastic violin and take lessons from a virtuoso.



Name 3 bad habits. Jeez! only 3 hmmmm... 1. Falling asleep watching movies. 2. Talking too much in general 3. Being afraid to try something new



Name 5 places I have lived. 1. I was born in Lubbock, TX and lived there for the first 6 months of my life. 2. American Falls, ID until about 6 years old 3. Spanish Fork, UT (The remainder of my unmarried life-22 years old) 4. Pocatello, ID (3 years) 5.Omaha, NE (3 years) CURRENTLY:PHOENIX, AZ



5 jobs I have had. 1. My first real job was at Glades in Spanish Fork. Glades is a yummy greasy spoon drive-in restaurant in Spanish Fork. I took orders and gave people their food. I could never be a real waitress in a restaurant- I would spill everything! I only worked there for about three months, but I gained five pounds. I swear I was soaking up the grease through my skin! 2. Wirthlin Worldwide- a research firm in Orem, UT. I called people and did surveys about General Motors and other companies. I worked at Wirthlin for about 5 years. 3. The Gap 4. A family dr. office as the receptionist. 5. Full-time mom.



5 things most people don't know about me. I can't think of anything-probably because I talk too much......


I guess I get to tag someone now and that is.......Jenn!
