10 years ago...

I was 14 years old (almost 15), and a freshman at Canyon HS in CC, CA. I was loving the Stake Dances. Sis. Diaz was my seminary teacher. Awesome. My niece, Natalie, was just born and so I’m sure I was spending plenty of time doting on her and the older two. I was being very diligent on my hw, of course. What hasn’t changed? I still love to dance (our ward just had a “come as you were” dance—you had to dress like you did your senior year- funny!), I still love my nieces and nephews, I still keep in touch with and treasure my same friends, I’m still thinking about my future dates (although they’re all with the same guy), and so on. What is different? Well, I’m married and a mom, I live in LV (back then I didn’t know people actually lived here), and I’m not trying to get Jason to go out on actual dates instead of just hangin’ out (Sorry Suz, should I try that again when he gets back?).

5 things that are on my list to do today...

5. play with my little one

What would I do if I became a billionaire?

First, set aside amount for taxes and tithes. Next, put finishing touches on yard (perfect time of year). Set some aside for a Mediterranean cruise (not the time to go right now). Invest in some more flips and rentals (perhaps an apt. building with that amount). Give David some for his stocks. Buy a beach house in So. Cal—right on the beach— one that can fit a lot of people, and then keep the key under the mat. Next, send my mom out to find her family ranch (there’s a good girl’s trip) and then get it for her. Share some with other’s to purchase a house for themselves. I haven’t completely decided where I would like to focus my donations- cuz I would certainly be able to do a bit in that area. There’s plenty more, but I’m sure you’ve heard enough.

5 Things Some People Don't Know About Me...

1. A pet-peeve of mine is a picky eater :)
2. I like to knit. I am currently knitting Christmas stockings for my little family that match ones that my grandma knit. I have figured it all out except for the foot region- anyone have instructions on that part?
3. I have trekked the Amazon Jungle- swam with piranhas, walked through a swamp, held a little alligator and a huge anaconda, ate ants and cocoa, climbed and swung from vines, and saw a few of the most odd animals I’ve never seen.
4. I speak Spanish (as fluently as one can after not using it for 6 years)
5. I have a brain tumor… its on the left side between my ear and temple. I have my last MRI and a WADA (yuck) test next week--- if it’s still there (rootin’ for its disappearance- if any want to help, I’m all for it) then they’ll be doing some slicing in April.

Alright, Jen-Rose, I did it! Hope you enjoy it. :) I tag Tiffany, Crystal L., Suzie, Annie Scott, Robin, Danielle C., Kristen G., Tyree and Whitney. I'm excited to learn this stuff about you guys!
