Tagged Again



It's a Little Different Tag
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 5 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: February 1, 1998 (from my journal)
I went to a drama convention in Orem. I decided to do hurdles for my pantomime final. I got a really ugly T-shirt that I probably still have.

5 things on my to-do list today:
1. Start my portfolio for my level II license application
2. Reorganize the filing drawer India messed up about a year ago
3. Do 30 minutes of indexing
4. Take a shower
5. Choreograph a lyrical jazz dance

Things I would do if I were suddenly made a a billionaire:
Pay off loans. Buy stock. Live in different parts of the world and learn to do their traditional dances.

2 of my bad habits:
1. Eating when I'm stressed
2. Stressing too much

5 places I have lived:
1. Bethesda, Maryland 2. Biloxi, Mississippi 3. Brookhaven, Mississippi 4. Centerville, Utah 5. Orem, Utah

5 Jobs I have had:
1. Dog Groomer

4. Writing Tutor
5. English Teacher (8th, 9th, 10th, and now teaching boys at therapeutic boarding school ages 13-18)

5 Things people don't know about me:
I'm addicted to Barbie movies. I prefer bananas more green than yellow. My first kiss was at age 18. I hiccup like a terridactyl. It took me a year to learn how to drive a stick shift car.

New "taggies" are Ammon, Kim, Natasha, Nikki, and Meredith.

Sunday Evening



Here is India hanging out by our bishop's dog, Molly, during BYD. Thanks to Ben Snow who captured this moment for us! Does that foot in the lefthand corner look familiar to anyone? I can't remember who was sitting there. Afterwards, India had tons of fun playing the marble game with Sister Robinson.

When we came home, we found out President Hinkley had passed away. It's sad in a sense, but also joyful because he served the Lord faithfully during his life and is now with his wife again. I have been touched by all the news reporters/writers covering his death in the news because they have done so in such a loving, respectful, and reverent manner. President Hinkley exuded happiness, and I am grateful to still have his words of wisdom.

We're Back





After a month long sabbatical from blogging, we are back! Today Ammon and I both had the day off from work, so we had a family date. First, on the way to Team Gear, we braved the snow and passed 30 unlucky cars on the freeway that had been in accidents or had spun off the road. Ammon scored (no pun intended) a great deal on two adjustable ladders for his soccer team to do drills on. India picked out a hot pink soccer ball that she kept trying to sneak around the store. Next, we ate yummy food at Asian Food Buffet. As tradition, Ammon continues to reinforce how scary the "dragon kitties" really are. Hopefully, this exercise does not give her psychological issues in the future. Afterwards, we saw the Bucket List, which was very enjoyable with a satisfying ending. India's favorite part of the movies was "riding" on the train in the arcade. Shhh . . . nobody tell India her parents are too cheap to give up their quarters. Finally, we went shopping for Ammon because he keeps shrinking! The last picture is of Ammon and India doing the Heisman Trophy Pose.
