Computer nerd



What a lucky girl I am being married to this guy the past 5 years...I picked out this shirt for him at Target the other day. It totally describes my computer, tech junkie, nerd husband. And I love him for the way he takes care of us by working so hard as a computer nerd. Love, love you babe!!!!!!!!!!!

Love, love, love



I love these kitchen layouts. When I design another house, this is the way to go...thanks to a blog " a room somewhere" where I stole these from.

Tag, I'm It

Tag, I'm it.

A: The rules of the game are posted at the beginning.
B: Each player answers the questions about themselves.
C: At the end of the post, the player then tags 3 people and posts their names, then goes to their blogs and leaves them a comment, letting them know that they have been tagged and asking them to read your blog.

10 years ago:
I was going to BYU, living in my first apartment at BYU with two roommates. I was dating Danny, who was much shorter than me. I decided to go on a mission around this time, which I entered the MTC in June. I was also working at UPB Copy Center as a runner.

5 things on my to-do list today:
1. Survive.
2. Keep Ella happy.
3. Keep Sam from burning down the house.
4. Watch American Idol with Jared.
5. Eat dinner (my day is half over, so my day isn't as busy now that it is almost 6pm)

5 Snacks I enjoy:
I am pretty easy to please as long as it is fattening, has sugar or is very unhealthy. Good thing Easter candy is here- I look forward to Cadbury mini eggs.
1. Chips and dip
2. Icecream
3. Cookies
4. Chocolate
5. Donuts from Maceys

What would I do if I were suddenly made a billionaire:
Pay off the house, send Jared back to school, go on a long, relaxing vacation, send my in-laws and my parents on missions, get a personal masseuse, and put the rest in savings...

Jobs that I have had:
Grocery store cashier at Wymount Terrace
Payless Shoe Source
Teacher's Aide for an Economic Professor (I know nothing about Economics)
Resident Hall Assistant at Deseret Towers for the summer
Copy Center Runner at UPB
Copy Center Front Desk
Membership Data Entry Coordinator at KBYU
Assistant Membership Manager

5 Places I have lived….
Utah
Florida
Illinois
Alabama

5 things people don't know about me:
1. There are certain textures or patterns that bother me and give me the creeps.
2. I would love to take piano lessons, sewing lessons, run a marathon and climb Mt. Timpanogas.
3. I tried out for many dance auditions growing up and never made it to the final round. I also tried out to be in the Nutcracker every year I was in ballet and never made it. My dance teacher my senior year gave me special permission to be in her dance class because I didn't make tryouts.
4. Last year, in my adult jazz dance class I realized that I am not a good a dancer as I always thought I was. And I am ok with that.
5. I would love to adopt a child.

Ok, I tag Kellie, Jessica and Mindy
