*Note to readers of this blog:
Okay, so normally I'm not a fan of quiz type posts on the blog. However, my friend Melissa had this one on hers and I feel it's not so much a quiz, but more of a chance to reflect on my past, present and future. I thought it was fun, but if you don't read all or any of it I wouldn't blame you!
20 years ago...
1. I was in Mrs. Colvin's 2nd grade class. (One of my favorite teachers ever!)
2. I wanted to be a waitress or a dance teacher.
3. I lived in Ogden, Utah.
4. I loved to ride my bike and play on the merry-go-round in our yard.
5. I followed my older sister Jessica everywhere!
10 years ago...
1. I graduated from Green Valley H.S. (disgusting, that makes me feel so old!)
2. I was employed at Old Navy and probably liked working there at that time!
3. I thought my major would be interior design.
4. I was good friends with Meija and Smashy.

5 years ago...
1. I was going to UNLV and majoring in Early Childhood Education.
2. Ryan was on his mission and I missed him like crazy!
3. I was working at the Multigen. (that's what the cool people call it!) for Henderson Parks and Rec.
4. Some of my best friends were my older sister, Kara and Zarina. We had a blast, even if we were doing nothing!

3 years ago...
1. Ryan and I got married! (almost exactly 3 years ago, because our anniversary is coming up on July 2nd.)

1 year ago...
1. Adeline Lilly joined our family!
2. We moved to San Diego.
3. We thought that our apartment was going to burn down, because of the wildfires here. (FYI this was at the same time Addy was due and we thought we may not have an apartment to bring her home to. If you don't know that story and want to, read this post.)
4. I became a SAHM and I love it!
5. We left behind some great friends and family in Henderson.
So far this year...
1. I have been to Sea World twice!
2. I have come to realize that being a mom is the most difficult and most rewarding job ever!
3. I have been to the beach once.
4. I have not lost, but gained weight.
5. I have reconnected with lots of old friends through blogging.
Yesterday...
1. I went to Sea World with one of my old friends from my College Terrace days and her family and it was great! (I will post about that soon.)
2. I got sunburned at aforementioned Sea World trip and now have some weird lines as a result!
3. I checked my stocks and bonds (AKA blogs!), as I do everyday for long periods of time.
4. I watched SYTYCD, which happens to be my favorite show right now!
5. I made myself a good old fashioned bowl o' cereal for dinner.
Today ...
1. I helped a girl in our ward pack for a move.
2. I took care of Addy and she was quite out of sorts today.
3. I got a lovely haircut and highlights.
4. I washed dishes.
5. I booked us a flight (which I totally screwed up!) to see Ryan's family. YIPEE!
Tomorrow...
1. I will sweep and mop our kitchen floor, because it is so gross at the moment!
2. I will make some bread for us and a new family that just moved into our ward and apt. complex.
3. I will take care of Addy and hopefully she won't be quite as cranky as today!
4. I will watch Juno with Ry.
5. I will make either homemade pizzas or pepper chicken for dinner.
In the next year...
1. I will have a car that doesn't run anymore (not for sure, but quite possible!)
2. I will go and visit my family and Ryan's family.
3. I will be a mom to Addy.
4. I will try to lose some weight.
5. I will work harder on not being so judgemental.

The most important thing...you're coming to visit us! YAY!!!! Can't wait!
What is SAHM? I really tried...I'm sure it's obvious...I just can't figure it out!! I remember thinking you were so cool when you worked at Old Navy. I wished I worked at Old Navy. A couple of years later I got a job at GAP and thought I was so cool for doing the windows there. Well...who are we kidding...I still think that If I'm honest...I just can't reset my brain to not think those stores are soooo cool. Hee hee. P.S. That waltz on SYTYCD that the man made for his disabled daughter was the best dance for me so far this season.
SAHM . . . I had to think and think, but I finally came up with stay at home mom!! Woo hoo points for me.
Also, your anniversary is Goldie's b-day. You are more than welcome to take her to dinner with you.
Lastly, cereal for dinner is exactly me anytime Mike is working late.
Fun posty post.
Cereal for dinner is generally my meal of choice, even when there would be another option. The other night we got home and I realized I had an un-opened box of Blueberry Morning that I had forgotten about. I started stroking it and Ana was laughing at me.
This survey made me miss you guys. I hope you come visit soon.
I loved this it was so interesting! Oh and I am with your friend Angie Kherrington and Twithces dance was the best last night!
If you're not a kid any more, then what does that make me! Loved the pictures of Ryan's first Father's Day.
Hi Melissa, How are you? I don't know if I responded to you back when you left a comment forever ago. Your baby is so cute. I just read your post about watching your baby sleep, those are memories you want to remember when they are driving you crazy. Hope things are good in San Diego, I'm jealous. I am going to add you to my link list if that is okay. :)
Melissa, I love visiting with you! Hopefully next time I can come visit for longer, and do something with you without my kids. : )
Great way to get to know you! I had no idea you were a teacher! Sorry to hear about your car.
