FIVE!!

5 things I was doing 10 years ago:
Hanging with my beautiful DG Sisters, Dating as many guys as I could, Attempting to make it to all my classes, Rooming with Jamie Clyde, and Annie Miller, and in 1 month I would meet Travis.
5 things on my list to do today:
Tell Travis I love him, Snuggle with my kids, Read my current book, Finish laundry, and Get it on!!

5 snacks I love:
Chips and Salsa con Queso, Nutrilite Mixed Berry Protein bar (I know it sounds gross, but it is yummy!!), Ice cream (almost anything but chocolate), Caprese w/ balsamic vinegar, and Cashews.

5 things I would do if I were a Millionare: (which I will be!)
I will start a program for children and adolescents to teach them self esteem and to value themselves, I think that will solve a lot of problems. I will volunteer my time and money for many different organizations in which I believe. I will hire a private teacher for my kids so that we can travel the world and experience first hand the things they are being taught. I will join up with my great friends Tim and Gaye to help with their crusade to save marriages and families!! I will have houses in all my favorite places to be, so that when I remember how much I hate Utah winters, I can vacate and head somewhere warmer!!

5 places I have lived: (All in Utah, unfortunately)
Cottonwood Heights, Sugar House, Tooele, Herriman, and eff-ing Kearns.

5 jobs I have had:
Clinique counter manager, Contempo Tile showroom sales, Interior Designer and Faux Painter (self employed), and now Mommy and Wife.

5 people I tag....so sorry...ha ha:
Erin, Tiff, Jamie W., Jessica, and Katrina

Dylan singing

So, at a church service on Oct. 12, our amazing friend Tim pulled Dylan up on stage with him and his family to sing. He was in front of about 3,000 people. I guess you would have to understand this family to appreciate the magnitude of this. Dylan loves these guys, and looks up to them so very much!! They are like family to us. He has been levitating ever since!! It was a dream come true for him. He has asked me nearly everyday for almost 2 years if he could sing with them. (Goadies, we love you!!) Please check out their website if you get a chance!! http://www.thegoads.com/
They are some of the most amazing people you could ever ask to associate with!!

Free Enterprise Day 2008!!

Travis and I feel very fortunate to be able to celebrate America and our Free Enterprise system for an entire weekend once a year with our friends!! This year, we had a few of the most amazing WW2 veterans there to tell their stories. It brings tears to my eyes just thinking about it. I am amazed that men can carry such blind courage and do the things they did in such circumstances. I pray that we all realize that freedom isn't free and that many people paid, and many currently pay a huge price for us to enjoy what we have. I hope we may never forget that it is us as citizens that makes America great. We must learn not to rely on those we elect into office to take care of this country, but on ourselves. When we took our first steps to becoming independent, it was a group of 2% that signed our Declaration of Independence. We must never forget that an individual can make a difference. Let's not forget where we came from...

Hawaii 2008

Let's just say that when we were leaving, Dylan asked if we could pray every day to move to Hawaii. I agree. What's not to love?? 80 degrees year round, beautiful beaches, green everywhere, oh yeah... and did I mention 80 degrees year round?? We do love to travel, but I think that Hawaii will always be one of my very favorite places in the world! It was so great to be able to wake up with my family every day and not have to go to work!!! When I move there, I must be retired. How could you have a job when paradise calls your name everyday?
