10 years ago-
-I was in my 4th semester at BYU. I took a road trip over Valentine weekend with my roommate to her home in Kennewick, Washington.
-I had a crush on my other rommate's ex-boyfriend who lived down the hall.
-About this time (Jan.) 10 years ago, I basically "Dear John"-ed Matt. We had been in the same ward and FHE group the previous year/freshman year, had gone on a couple dates, and had started writing over the summer. We had our first kiss that summer in Las Vegas, of all places. Well, Matt had brought it up in a letter, while he was on his mission. I pretty much gave him the cold shoulder but wrote him back, saying that he shouldn't be thinking about me, or us, etc. Even though we weren't waiting for each other or anything, eventually we started writing again. I guess he didn't get too discouraged :)
Snacks I enjoy-
-cheese and crackers, chocolate candy like peanut m&m's, fresh fruit, tortilla chips and salsa, just about anything really
Five things on my to-do-list today-
-Make a paper chain with Kaitlyn to count down to Easter
-Laundry
-Return movie to Blockbuster
-Figure out what medicine to use for Raquel's toenail fungus
-Go to Adam's school for Family Night tonight
Things I would do if I were suddenly made a billionaire-
-Go on (second) honeymoon
-Travel to see family
-Pay off school loans (for Matt), house, help family with debts
-Start a college/mission fund for the kids, learn now to invest and do it
-Go on a shopping spree
-Eat out more/hire a cook and maid, sound good,too
-Have our dream house built (as soon as we knew where to do it!)
Three of my bad habits-
-Sometimes I ignore my kids questions when I don't want to answer them (eg. "Can I have a fruit snack?")
-Sometimes I interupt people's conversation to put my two cents in. I'm still learning the art of timing.
-Sometimes I'm indecisive or I don't have a strong enough opinion to really care
-Maybe I say "sometimes" too often :)
Five places I have lived-
-Indianapolis, IN (where I grew up-house)
-Provo, UT (BYU-apts.)
-Reno, NV (medical school-apt.)
-Boulder City, NV (at Mom and Dad Ripp's for a few months one summer and in our first house)
-Grand Rapids, MI (house)
Jobs I have had-
-warehouse worker
-locksmith secretary/dispatcher
-BYU zoology stockroom cashier person
-BYU custodian (yes, I cleaned toilets at 4:30 a.m.)
-day care custodian/nurse/lunchlady/babysitter (weird, I know)
Things people don't know about me-
-I know how to crochet hats and scarves and purses
-I'd love to be an artist (painting/drawing), (and get paid for it)
-I broke my arm when I was 6 mo. old
-I've never been skiing--water or snow
-I got a bachelor degree in MFHD (Marriage Family Human Development), but I'm glad to be done with my schooling
-I don't watch any tv (we only have one channel anyway)

I didn't know you were a custodian!
Or that you and Matt kissed before his mission. Scandalous.
I don't think that ignoring your kids is a bad habit, I think it's a coping strategy! I do it too!
You have had a ton of crazy jobs. Although I don't think that being a mom isn't that much different from being a custodian, babysitter, lunch lady, nurse, etc.! (The perks are definitely better though!)
