about me

since this blog is going to be lacking for a while, I am going to steal ideas from other's blogs. One of my favorite things is to start on someones blog, and start going through the links to other blogs. .. there are some really interesting people out there. . . . and if you go deep enough, you will sometimes find people you know. . . . I lurk a lot . . . . . . . any way Here goes:

10 Years Ago:In 1998
I was a Freshman at Ricks College really enjoying the college life and all that it entailed. I had such great roomates, and my college experience provided me with more socialization that I had ever experienced. . . .. and that was a lot of fun for me.

5 Years Ago : In 2003. ..
I had Just met Matt. . . .He was my neighbor in Midvale, and my roomate said I needed to meet him. . . She told me he was a computer person just like me. . . at this point I had gone out with way too many so called computer geeks, and I seemed to know more than all of them. . . . I found that annoying, because I don't consider myself very smart when it comes to computers. . ... . I told her her I wasn't interested. . . .I did end up meeting him, and he was different from all the others that I had met. ( He is hands down the smartest person I know . . . . He's a freaking Genius. . . . and I'm completely serious about that ) . For our first date He took me to a shooting range. . . . Not long after that, I bought myself a hand gun, because I loved it so much. the first christmas gift he bought me was a .22 rifle. . .. . . with a scope . .. so much fun. . . . not to worry, I get girly gifts too ( diamonds and pearls are always a good gift) We dated for two years ( forever long by utah/idaho standards) but dating for that long was the best thing for us. . . . by the time we got married, there were no surprises. We pretty much knew everything about each other. we had seen each other mad and we had seen how each of us reacted to stress. . . . with that, there was no doubt that marriage was right for us. He knew all my "secrets" and I knew all of his. I should probably put our entire dating story into a post . .


Things on my to do list today:
work( the kind I get paid for) , spend time with my husband


What would I do if I suddenly became a billionaire?
I would pay off our House, actually I would probably buy a bigger nicer one. . . there are a few things I would change on the current house. I would travel ( Disney land being at the top of my list, as that is my favorite place to go). I would throw a bunch in the bank to live off of for the rest of my life. Help Matt Start an R&D company ( what he ultimately wants to do with his life)

3 places I have lived:
1. Lehi, UT
2. Rexburg ID
3. Shelley ID

5 Jobs I have had:
1. BabySitter ( probably my favorite job thus far, although I'm sure 'mom' will trump it. ), - did this a lot during Jr high and high school
2. Envelope Stuffer for the Post Register for Two weeks. . .I did not get fired, it was just temporary
3. Maid at Super 8 Motel,
4. Computer Programmer for Farm Bureau.
5. feeding Calves on the dairy when I was in Jr High one summer ( I hated it . . . too hot outside. . .. and those calves can bite)


5 Things People Don't know about me:
1. I don't make friends easily. . . . ( I don't know what my problem is . . . but i'm working on it . . . I think I'm just too much of an introvert, so it takes a long time.)
2. I really want to learn to play the Cello
3. I enjoy cooking, and I'm actually a pretty good cook.
4. I think that a good Marriage can get you through anything. . . . Even when it feels as if the whole world is about to fall on you, if you have a good solid relationship with your spouse, life is a little more bearable. ( this one I know from experience )
5. I stress out about money . . . . . a lot.
