Okay - Jen tagged me so here are the answers to the questions:
10 years ago:
I was living in San Jose and still had two children at home - well almost home. Jen would have been at BYU and Aaron was in high school. Ade and Tami were both married but I didn't have any of my GREAT grandkids. Wow - that seems impossible. Boy has my life changed since then - I live in Idaho now (my dad would have been so happy that I had come home to Idaho) and I wasn't even thinking about finishing college.
5 things on my list to do today:
1. Do baptisims at the temple - they let me do 10 extra names beyond our family names.
2. Get a job - yes I did! I will be working 20 hours a week at a doctor's office until things get worked out to teach a couple of classes at BYU-Idaho
3. Vaccum up the popcorn that got spilled on the carpet yesterday - oh but we had fun!
4. Go to the 2pm session at our newly dedicated temple.
5. Speak at a ward fireside tonight with Bruce.
Things I would do if I was suddenly made a billionaire:
1. Put some into our retirement fund.
2. Put some into our mission fund.
3. Set up a scholarship fund to help college students who have special needs.
4. Take all of my kids on a cruise.
5. Put hard wood floors in my upstairs.
6. Give a bunch to my children and grandchildren (well maybe after I bought some new clothes :)
Three of my bad habits:
1. I watch too much reality TV.
2. I drink too much diet Coke.
3. I read too much sometimes.
Five places I've lived:
Fontana, California
El Cajon, California
Salt Lake City, Utah
Santa Ana, California
Whittier, California
Jobs I've had:
Babysitter, chef, reading tutor, floral designer, medical assistant, piano teacher, seminary teacher, checker-inner and checker-outer for Jen, wellness associate, sales associate at the Distribution Center
Things most people don't know about me:
I periodically wear a gold tooth around my neck (you'll have to ask about that one). I am extremely critical of myself. I don't have any friends in Idaho. I drove a WWII Jeep when I was in high school. I had dinner at Bob Hope's home along with some very important TV and movie stars (it was the first and last time I tasted cavier). I stood about a foot from Bob Barker and stared into the most blue, blue eyes I've ever seen.
I don't know anyone who has not been tagged so I guess I'm the end of the line here.

I loved reading these things about you, but was sad to read that you feel you have no friends in Idaho. I consider you a friend, even though we rarely see each other and even though we are both extremely busy with family, callings, etc. You are a person who influences others in positive ways. I appreciate that quality in you. You know, "over the back fence" friends are very rare in today's society - we are pulled in so many directions, still, I consider you a friend!
