5 Things I Was Doing Ten Years Ago:
- I was a freshman in high school - enough said.
- Played the violin in Orchestra.
- So excited to finally attend Stake Dances! I went to almost every one with my brother the first year I turned 14.
- I can't find my journals so I don't remember what else I was doing in 1998.
- Actually I do remember one thing, our stake was challenged by the stake president to memorize The Family: A Proclamation to the World by the end of the year. It was around this time that I actually did it (I don't have it completely memorized still so don't quiz me).
- Feed/Play with Calvin
- Do Laundry
- Make Bread
- Do dishes/clean house
- Attend Book Club meeting
- Apples and Peanut Butter
- Honey Mustard Pretzels from Trader Joes
- Dried Fruit
- Chips with Hummus, Guacamole, or Salsa
- Cold Cereal
- Okay, this might sound a little selfish, but honestly I would try and keep it a secret from as many people as possible except for my husband and the person we hire to manage our money (because I don't think I could manage that much money by myself). I don't think I would live that differently than I already do. I wouldn't want people to perceive me as "wealthy." I don't want to be invited to birthday parties, weddings, etc. just because they want a really nice gift. I don't want people to be my friend for the wrong reasons. I don't want my kids to think they don't have to work for things or that they are better than other kids because they have rich parents. I would happily donate money anonymously, but never would I want people to know I was wealthy. Okay, I'll get off my soapbox now.
- Buy a new wardrobe. Who wouldn't want to go shopping and not worry about buying a top that costs more than $15 (I'm cheap I know.)?
- Set up a scholarship fund for the Physical and Mathematical Sciences at BYU.
- Invest and live off the interest (one reason to hire the person to manage my money). Although, if Obama had his way I'd probably only get 30% of the money after taxes.
- I'd buy you a green dress (but not a real green dress that's cruel...)
- Tempe, Arizona
- Talmage Building at BYU
- Provo, Utah
- Seattle, Washington
- San Jose, California
- Mother - By far the most demanding and rewarding
- Statistics Teaching Assistant at BYU
- Intern at Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center
- Recruiter at Convergys
- Stroller check-in person at BYU football games. I was a little disappointed I didn't get to actually see any of the games, but I did see the church's First Presidency and most of the Quorum of the 12 in person (they parked their car in the stadium right by stroller check-in)! For me, that made up for it.
- Trevor
- Kathryn
- Sarah
- Jen
- Steven

Love that you quoted "If I Had a Million Dollars!" I haven't heard that forever!
I love those honey mustard pretzels too!
That stroller check-in job is so cool!
