A Dozen Questions

Okay, so Nikki has tagged me and I know that if I don't answer all the questions right away then I will keep putting it off. So here I go
1. What was I doing 10 years ago: Volleyball,Volleyball, Volleyball. My whole life was focused on Volleyball, because I had a couch (Rod Adams) who would NOT let me think of anything else. I loved it at the time but, now that I look back at my life sometimes I wish I would have not been so dang focused on just volleyball. I love the game but, there is more to life I have learned. I was also planning when I was going to get my drivers licence. I was getting pretty excited because the next day I was turning 16. Yeah I could date! :) In the summers I was working at the pools as a lifeguard and swimming lessons instructor and Swim team coach. Those were some fun times! I was only sophomore in High School.
2. Five years ago: Brandon and I had just been married 5 years. I was getting used to living in the big Salt Lake City. I was working full time down town in a Bankruptcy office. It was a lot of fun even though I had to start as a file/runner girl. Brandon was working as a RC Willey salesman and going to school full time. We were both very busy. We lived in Grandma Parks basement. It was a lot of fun getting to know her better. She is one of my very good friends still today. Sometimes I really miss not having her live close.
3. One year ago: I was being a mom chasing Dantzel around, I was also working in the real estate business with family members, and to top it off I was 3 months pregnant with our son James. I was trying to get over the morning sickness part of being pregnant.
4. Yesterday: I got up at 5:30 am to work out, made a casserole for a funeral, went grocery shopping, did some laundry, and spent the day with my kids. It was a pretty busy day.
5. 5 snacks I enjoy: Homemade salsa with chips, wheat thins, dried fruit, bananas and any other fruit or veggie.
6. 5 things I would do if I suddenly had $100 million: Put my backyard in (we already know what we want to do), invest, by rentals, vacation, pay off our houses
7. 5 locations I would like to run away to: I know that I would like to go anywhere with Brandon and my kids, Alaska, Hawaii, Mountains and maybe the beach. It really wouldn't matter as long as my family was with me.
8. 5 bad habits: I think I better ask Brandon about this one. Because of course I think I am perfect! j/k :) It will kill 2 birds with one stone if I ask him because then I will know of the things I need to work on.
Okay so he says straight from his mouth my bad habits are: 1. Sleeping during movies (when we watch them not very often). 2. Likes to put clothes from the dryer on the guest bed until she gets around to folding them (usually it is the next day)
So Brandon can't think of any more so I will have to add more later when he can tell me the rest. I even gave him a lot of time so either he has a lot of other things on his mind (like going fishing tomorrow) or he thinks I am perfect for him. :)
9. 5 things I like doing: Like I said before, spending time with Brandon, Dantzel & James, Exercising every morning at 5:30 am, I like to read a book if it is a good one and if I have no distractions like Brandon or the kids around. :) I really enjoy going boating with my family, camping, going on walks (although Brandon isn't a good partner for that. He is a bit lazy) Hope I don't get in trouble for that one. I love you Brandon! Okay so that is 6 things I think I could add a few more but I will keep it short and sweet.
10. 5 TV shows I like: Survivor, Wheel of Fortune, Price is Right (with Bob Barker. I am not to crazy about Drew Carey as the host), Football season (so I can watch with Brandon) and The Bachelorette.
11. 5 things I hate doing: I really hate cleaning the toilet, sorting laundry (I would rather fold then sort), sweeping, mopping my tile floors, changing Dantzels diaper! she should be potty trained by now she thinks it is fun to ware a diaper because her brother James still does. She doesn't want to feel left out. I don't like a stinky bottom. gross me right out!
12. 5 biggest joys of the moment: It makes me really happy when Dantzel plays with James they really love each other. Completing a good work out in the morning. Spending good quality time with Brandon and the kids. boating, and having a clean house.

I loved your tag. Of course I knew most this stuff already but it was fun to see what you thought on things. Tim doesn't really like going walking with me either. To bad we don't live close together so we could walk together and maybe I could be as strong and have as much will power as you and go work out with you too. I think that would help me to do it with someone else.

Wow- I learned a lot! Way to get it done so fast! The Hills family must have gone on a lot of walks together when you were younger because Zach likes to go on walks too. I usually like to go when he does too, but not always.
