I know I've been tagged a few times with different questions, so I just picked one and this should count for all of them! Enjoy learning way more info about me than you probably ever wanted to know.
10 years ago- I was 14 years old and a sophomore at Paradise Valley High School. I was a band nerd who played Saxophone (marching uniform and all!) and I swam for the high school swim team. My events were 100 Breaststroke and 200 IM. Too bad I've slacked off on the swimming since high school. Some day I'll get back into it.
5 years ago-Hmmm...Summer 2003, just finished my Sophomore year at NAU, majoring in Elementary Education, working for a Super rich Golf Club/Community where everyone escapes the Phoenix heat and vacations at their summer home in Flagstaff. I worked at the Kid's Club doing camps and taking various hikes and field trips around Flag. Too bad I wasn't into golfing since I could have gone free all summer.
5 months ago- In February, I was enjoying getting to be outside every day. So glad I took advantage of that now that we're all stuck inside. Ethan was 9 months old and had an ear infection that had been there about a month. He finally got tubes that month after trying multiple antibiotics that never worked. He hasn't had an ear infection since!
5 things on my to do list today (Sunday) : Lucky for me I don't even have a to-do list today...gotta love the day of rest! So my day will consist of going to church, finally completing this TAG, reading the last Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants book (love the series by the way!), playing with my son, and planning out my week
5 snacks I enjoy-
1. Ice Cream
2. Rice Cakes (flavored and not)
3. Chex Mix (developed a love for this when I was pregnant w/ Ethan)
4. Yogurt w/ granola
5. Coconut Chocolate Chip cookies from Paradise Bakery
5 things I would do if I were instantly a billionaire-
1. Go on a big family vacation, probably a cruise!
2. Buy a new wardrobe (I'm not really liking any of my clothes right now)
3. Buy a house and pay it off completely
4. Save most for future fun, kids school and other needs, and just for a rainy day
5. Give the rest away to charities and to church funds
5 of my bad habits-
1. Forgetting people's birthdays
2. Talking on my cell phone while driving
3. Caring what others think a little too much
4. Not picking up my hair off the floor of the bathroom (I guess shedding comes with thick hair)
5. Overscheduling myself (I have to admit, I kind of like that I do this, I'm not sure that my husband always does though)
5 places I have lived
1. Lynchburg, VA
2. Phoenix, AZ
3. Flagstaff, AZ
4. Mesa, AZ
5. Gilbert, AZ
5 things people may not know about me
1. I love to rollerblade
2. I worked as a waitress at Village Inn during college
3. I married my first boyfriend, who I've known since the age of 8
4. I worked as a Girl Scout camp counselor in Prescott the summer after my first year of college
5. I absolutely HATE scary movies and books and ones that are depressingly sad. I just can't handle either very well.
Ok, Valerie...are you happy now? :)
