10 years ago:
My mom said "Why don't we stop by the travel agent's office just to see what airplane ticket prices are from here (NC) to Salt Lake City." I had graduated from high school the previous summer and was working and dragging my butt with college plans. We stopped by the travel agent's office on Monday, and I left for Ricks College 2 days later on Wednesday without being accepted first, and after the semester had already begun. I lived off-campus in the same apartments as my recently married older sister, and began 2 courses through the continuing education department. (I did apply during the semester and was accepted as a full time student for the following fall.) *Thanks to the 10 years ago question, I am really feeling old now.
Snacks I enjoy:
I normally don't snack, just pig out at each of the 3 regular mealtimes (Which I acknowledge as a bad thing.) If I'm traveling, I like salty stuff like snack mix. If it's Christmas time, I love cheese balls with crackers and bbq meatballs. Also, you can never go wrong with baked goods - I can eat chocolate chip cookies anytime!
Five things on my to-do list today:
1) Bank
2) Post office
3) Party Supply store - maybe find some hats or party favors for Jack's bday party
4) Make appointment for Jack's 1 year pictures
5) Decide what to make for dinner (almost the hardest decision of the day)
Things I would do if I were suddenly made a billionaire:
~First, probably pass out
~Invest for retirement; enough for multiple (hopefully foreign and we can knock out traveling too - 2 birds with 1 stone) missions as a senior couple once my kids are all grown
~Build my dream house (including "mother-in-law" apartment, small indoor swimmer's treadmill pool, southern style wrap-around porch, basketball hoop, and huge backyard...just to name a few things) :D
~I would help Britton fulfill his dream of donating enough money to a university to have a building on campus named after him
(Yeah, I know - I sound a little selfish...I'm working on that)
Three of my bad habits:
1) I used to be a horrible nail biter...sometimes I catch myself doing it when I get nervous or anxious
2) I am so bad at talking over other people during a conversation...I know how annoying it is, so I am SO sorry if I have done this to any of you!!
3) I HATE doing dishes, so I leave the dishes in the sink...sometimes rinsed, sometimes not. (even if the dishwasher is empty). This is something I am REALLY trying to stop.
Five places I have lived:
1) North Carolina
2) Idaho
3) Colorado
4) Puerto Rico
5) Utah
Jobs I have had:
~Movie Extra
~Self employed: Mowing lawns, Babysitting
~Cashier at a grocery store
~Daycare/Montessori School
~Computer Lab Attendant
~Vehicle Detail/Lube Technician
~Girl Scout Camp Counselor/Lifeguard
~Disney's Blizzard Beach Lifeguard
~Airport Ramp Agent
~Resort Reservations Clerk
~Receptionist for car dealership
~Bank Teller
~Valet Attendant
~Sales Coordinator for car dealership
~Motor Pool/Service Center Office Assistant
~Mom
(Bet you wish you didn't ask, huh?)
Things people don't know about me:
~I swallowed a kuhli loach fish when I was little (in between 1-4 years old)
~When I was 9, I was showing off for the neighbors doing a flip on our trampoline. I did 1 1/2 rotations, but missed the trampoline on the way down. Luckily a cinterblock on the ground broke my fall as it collided with my face. Fortunately, all I had to show for it was a big scrape.
~I actually enjoy going to the dentist to get my teeth cleaned
~I LOVE having my hair played with
I tag:
1) Annie
2) Becky
3) Elena
4) Maria
5) Sarah
(And Lacy too if you aren't in the middle of delivering a beautiful baby girl!)
Ps. Don't freak out...yours doesn't have to be as long as mine turned out to be.

I love to read the "tags." You have had the most awesome jobs ever! Thanks for the tag...I'll get on that tomorrow. =)
Good job Steph! I love cheese balls too! I think through Dec. I ate one a week... probably most of it myself.
Also, have you heard of anyone giving Kandice a shower?
Sorry, I probably could just call you. She mentioned that someone said they would plan one for her... I figured it was you or Kara.. I thought I would volunteer to help. I'll let you know if I hear anything
Wow -- all these things I didn't know about you! I can't believe your lists of past jobs! That's amazing!
I was just looking at your blog when I jumped back to mine and read what you had posted. I am going to add you to my list of friends, too. Trying to be social at church while trying to keep kids quiet and well behaved isn't the easiest thing. I'm guilty of not being very social at church, too.
I love reading "tags" too. You can learn so much about everyone. Of course you can add me to your list. I'll put you on mine too. I can't believe that Jack is being a pill. I didn't know that boy had it in him. He is always so good, and calm at least that is how he seems at church:)
Yes, you can totally add me to your list. Its funny because I totally know who you are but we haven't even technically "met". It will be fun to get to know you!
Ok, so I know I'm like a Blog Virgin. I tried to fix that stupid thing so it didn't run together. I did it three times! Seriously! Anyway, I may to call you for guidance/coaching... whatever!
OK so this is my second try. I am going to be a blogette someday soon. I'm loving this! Thanks for having patience with a technologically challenged grandma.
I can't believe anyone would enjoy going to the dentist though. Love ya RaChell
As Stephanie's older sister I thought I might add a little to her "Things people don't know about me:" for you. That Kuhli Loach fish she swallowed, was actually STILL ALIVE when she swallowed it! She also stabbed me one time, I bled (a lot), and then laughed about it (granted, she was only 2 yrs old at the time and I was four, and I instucted her to cut the apple while I held it, BUT STILL!)
Fun! I loved reading that! Wow, I would love to hear your life story! Puerto Rico huh? That sounds like a blast!
