Tagged...

I've been tagged by Ashlee so here goes.

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

That's a tough one... Because we have to leave every summer, I've seriously missed camping. I think I would fly the Gardners in and take the whole fam and go to some cool lake with an awesome lodge (showers would be required) and spend a week or two or three just canoing, eating yummy camp food, 4-wheeling and enjoying the beautiful mountains so close to us. Dad singing with his guitar around the campfire would be a must.

When was the last time you cried?

Let's face it, I'm pregnant so this is a pretty regular occurrence. However, the last time I can remember was about a week and a half ago when I watched the movie Becoming Jane. If you haven't seen it, it's a pretty good one! Just watch out for the first half. There are several sexual references but the second half is just so heart breaking that I bawled my way through it! Gordon came down in the middle of me watching it and with a worried look on his face asked, "Are you okay sweetheart?" Yep, just a pregnant lady watchin' a chick-flick!

5 things you were doing 10 yrs ago- 1998?

I was in the eight grade and playing lots of volleyball. That summer I went on freshman interim which is always a great time. This is kind of sad to admit, but I was probably preparing for the state debate tournament- which we lost that year but gave it a good go (that's right, I even competed all through high school). I can't remember much else, other than piano lessons and young womens.

5 things you were doing 5 yrs ago- 2003?

I had graduated from high school and was still working at Maceys. That was when we spent a lot of time hanging out with our Maceys friends (Johnny, John, Austin, Evan and Jimmy. You Mannings remember them? Good times.) I was probably going through a "Nate" stage then (not so pleasant to remember). I was just about to start at BYU in the fall and we were playing a lot of grass volleyball at the time.

5 things you were doing 1 yr ago- 2007?

We were getting ready to head to Louisville for another summer of selling. I was leaving where I currently work for the first time. Kara and Ryan were engaged and we were getting excited for their wedding. I think I was taking a few classes and getting ready for my portfolio review.

LOVED "Becoming Jane", too! But I missed the sexual refrences--must have been the thick accents they had!

Thanks for the post! It's always fun to read those and think back on the same things. That camping trip to Moab was way fun! We should do that again someday...
