Both girls are sleeping, at the same time, which doesn't happen very often so I thought I would answer these tag questions from Alison.

5 things I was doing 5 years ago:

1. Settling into our new house, just built
2. Scrambling with end of the year activities for my 4th grade class
3. Doing fun things with Matt and being much more active (much more possible before kids came)
4. Going out to eat (I loved not having to cook every night!)
5. Putting in a backyard, fence, deck etc. for our new house


5 things on my to-do list for today:

1. Find the floor in the playroom (it’s covered with toys and I’ve been ignoring it for sometime)
2. Hold my cute, sleepy baby who is growing too fast, and snuggle my adorable, crazy toddler who is also growing too fast!
3. Take a shower (I’ve got to think of it as a thing to do or life doesn’t allow!)
4. Go on a walk (I’ve got to get out of my house!)
5. Go through my clothes and clean out my closet, and put away Matisyn’s clothes that don’t fit anymore

5 things I would do with a million dollars:

1. Pay off our house, or build the house of our dreams in this same lot (we love our neighborhood!)
2. If the dream house thing didn’t work out then I would remodel a few things in our house to make it work better for us, finish what we want to do in the backyard, remodel our kitchen, put in new carpets, etc. Although I’m pretty happy with the way it is now, I feel pretty lucky!
3. College funds for both my girls
4. Make sure my rainy day fund, savings, etc. was built up, and invest in these low stocks that have got to come up sometime!
5. Buy Matt some of the things off his very long “I wanna” list. . . and maybe have a little shopping spree of my own! Alison’s right this money would go too fast!

5 places I have lived:

1. Modesto, California (2 places)
2. Provo, Utah (3 places)
3. Mapleton, Utah
4. Lehi, Utah
Wow, I think that is it, I don’t even have a 5th city to list!

5 jobs I’ve held:

1. Assistant/gopher/filer etc. for my dad’s law practice
2. Same as above, but for my cousin Ross’ construction business
3. Usher for BYU events
4. Teacher
5. Mother

5 years from now: (this is tough, I’m not sure what I see happening)

1. Matisyn will be 8 and Emilyn will be 5, that’s crazy!
2. I’ll have another baby . . . Matt does not love when I make these decisions without him, so this one is up in the air!
3. We’ll have the house projects done on our list and will have more time to spend as a family . . . or we’ll just have created new projects!
4. I will have found time to have hobbies again, and to be more active and in shape
5. I will be more patient and more spontaneous (not that these two things have anything to do with each other, I just wish I was more of both of them!)
