10 YEARS AGO...
I was living in SLC with my sister and her family. I was deciding what I wanted to do with my life. I never really thought I would have to get a "career". Not knowing what I wanted to do, but knowing that I loved traveling I thought that I should be a flight attendant. I was waiting for training to be a flight attendant for United. In the meantime, I was substitute teaching. Right after spring break I had just gotten a long term sub job at Eastmont Middle School for a world history class because the teacher had gotten fired. The classes were mine until the classes until the end of the year. I was getting paid something like $38 a day. I had no idea what I was doing, but I knew that I loved it and needed to go into teaching. That summer I went home (Carlsbad) and started working on my teaching credential and master's degree.
5 THINGS ON MY "TO DO" LIST TODAY...
1. pick up my bedroom
2. mall returns
3. get present for Lisa's bridal shower
4. outdoor training class
5. go to Carlsbad for Lisa's shower
THINGS I WOULD DO IF I BECAME A BILLIONAIRE...
Move!!! I have to be honest, I would have a dang big house with a dream pool, tennis court, basketball court, in-ground trampoline, lawn the size of a football field, big swing set, playhouse, batting cage, guest house, etc (just have to keep it real guys...) Make sure Jay & my families were taken care of... Travel!!! DONATE LOTS!!: Set up scholarships for college; donate to school districts; clothe, feed and build homes and schools for many villages in South Africa; set up afterschool programs for kids in the inner-city...
5 OF MY SECRET BAD HABITS...
1. I am so cluttery. I have a hard time throwing anything away (it is not a secret if you know me!)
2. I love to grab a handful of chocolate chips out of the freezer when I walk by it.
3. I drink lots of diet coke everyday!
4. I don't take my vitamins (esp. calcium-diet coke depletes it and my mom has osteoporosis)
5. I rarely wear sunscreen. (I used to never wear it!)
5 PLACES I HAVE LIVED...
1. Carlsbad, CA
2. Provo, UT
3. Belhar, South Africa (Cape Town)
4. Long Beach, CA
5. Aliso Viejo, CA
5 JOBS I HAVE HAD...
1. Lifeguard
2. Swim Teacher
3. Rich's Bagels (made all the cream cheeses for 2 stores..loved it!!!)
4. Substitute Teacher
5. High School Teacher
5 THINGS PEOPLE DON'T KNOW ABOUT ME...
1. I love BYU football. When I was in jr. high and high school I used to go to the church to watch the games on satellite. It was me and the old men and the missionaries. In college I was obsessed with football (ok, and the players too). I am not as fanatical about watching the games like I used to be, but still love it!
2. I took a semester off at BYU to become an EMT. I never worked as one, but I loved getting certified. It was so fascinating to me. I really wanted to do something in the medical field, like be a midwife or a nurse, but I thought that it would be a waste because I really wanted to be a mom. (ok, and I decided this my 3rd year of BYU, and I had so many prereques to take and I would never pass the classes....chemistry--ya right! I would never get into the program anyways, but I did get the paperwork for UVSC.)
3. I stepped on a piece of glass from a bottle of olive oil when I was a kid and I got blood poisoning.
4. I cry whenever someone gets an award or succeeds, whether I know them or not. For example, I bawled when Tony Gwynn got his 3000th hit. I mean bawled! I even cry when I watch Miss America. My eyes tear up when someone on American Idol gets good comments from the judges.
5. I love to try new food at restaurants, but I rarely ever like it!
