I never do this stuff any more. But I am awake and alone right now.


What was the best thing that you cooked last week?

Tough one. I cook so much fatty deliciousness. Saturday we had bacon wrapped steaks and garlic mashed potatoes and corn on the cob. Sunday we had Chicken parm and homemade Alfredo. YUMMY


If time, money, and babysitting were no object, where would you go and with who?

We ...ok I have a list of vacations that we need to do before we die. We have talked about after we serve a mission then we are going to buy a fancy schmancy motor home and drive to all 48 states and hang out and explore each state for a month or so. Our kids will have to find us on the road. Then fly to Hawaii and Alaska. We also would like to do Europe for a month or so.


When was the last time you cried?
I cry just about daily. I just read Marina's blog and cried.


List 5 things you were doing 10 years ago. (1998)

I was knocked up and just about ready to pop- so let me think. May 1998 was on bed rest.

I was trying to figure out what I was going to do about adoption, I obviously choose to keep her.

I was trying to have a baby, I was able to stop taking my preterm labor pills the first of the month and spent most of May trying to go into labor.

I was letting the air out of the sperm donor's tires from time to time - I was venting.

I was taking a few of my best friends along for the ride.

I was helping Becky plan her wedding - k not really but I was with her a few times.

List 5 things you were doing 5 years ago. (2003)

Nothing big happened in 2003 that I can recollect. Let me think about this...oh wait one minute!

I was working for KB Home, I quit KB a totally stable job where I was over worked and under paid and went to work for a company where I made great money.....they went out of business 6 months later.

I was an unemployed single mom through the holidays.

I worked at JC Penny in the shoe dept to get money to buy Christmas gifts for the family.

I was dating a guy who I was really into. I had to dump him. We met at the singles ward. He took me out the same weekend he took another girl out, that is ok to do when you are in a dating situation. But then he started to hang out at my apartment more and more and he would have his kids over *side note* Until I dated him Brooklyn was never around any of the other schmoes that I dated because I was super anal about who she met, but he had kids and we all went to church together so it was cool?* and then we ncmo'd a bit. After a fair amount of time. Like 3 months he was still taking girl #2 out once a weekend when he wasn't with me. Not being one for ultimatums I told him to call me when he was ready to be with just one girl. It sucked, I think I had Holly or Tara on my cell phone when I dumped him from my house phone so I didn't chicken out. He married girl #2 and they are living happily ever after. But I am happier ever after. He was weird looking.

Went through the Las Vegas Temple.

5 of your favorite memories
When we were sealed as a family October 20, 2006, watching Brooklyn walk in the sealing room was magical.
When Brooklyn and Mom walked to the hospital to meet Ava.
Our first family vacation to Disneyland March 2006, it was Don's first time to Disneyland and he was like a kid in a candy store.
Driving back from Vegas towing a Uhaul filled with my crap and having to rent a creepy motel room in creepy Hawthorne because it was getting late. There was only 1 bed and so Don and I slept on the floor and Brooklyn was in the bed and it was just gross.
Any time I laugh until I pee my pants when I talk to Holly or Linda or Shannon or any of my friends.
