Tagged

Last week I got tagged by Brit and am just now getting around to responding...sorry for the delayed response!

Four jobs I have had...
1. Chiropractic Assistant...I worked for my dad starting when I was 9 years old. It was my main job until my senior year in high school. I LOVED working there and getting to see and know the patients!! Working for your parents has some fun perks too:)

2. Four Corners Hardware....I ran the front register...All the other employees actually knew things about the products we sold so they would greet the customers at the door and take them to find whatever they wanted then bring them back to me and I would finish the job. The store had complimentary coffee and hot cocoa at the register...hot cocoa is the only thing I've ever truly been addicted to...Since I wasn't supposed to leave the register (which was right in front of the door) I would sit there FREEZING so would have myself as many cups of cocoa as I could pack away...and then all the sudden it was summer and I still HAD to have 4 cups/day just to get by:) Ridiculous!

3. Horse trainer...while working at the hardware store one day a lady came in and said, "You look sturdy. Would you help me break my horse?" Just what ever girl wants to hear, right?:) She had a 2 year old Arabian named Sule that wasn't old enough to break to ride, but had been running wild out on the ranges and she wanted to "people" break her...get her used to being around people, used to a halter, etc....yeah...I loved that too:)

4. I can't decide what job to list as my fourth job...I've been a purchasing agent, collections officer, testing center supervisor, office manager, missionary, gof-fer girl, daycare provider, apartment manager, newspaper classifieds call taker, and an office assistant...

Four places I have lived:
I used to be referred to as "the gypsy" becuase from the time I left for college until the time I got married I moved almost every 3 months...A guess you could say it was a hobby of mine:) So I'll list states:) (While deciding which places to list I counted 27 different addresses!!!)

1. Washington state - Lived there from 0-8 and then from 10-17. We moved to Oregon for a couple of years while Dad was in school but then returned.

2. Montana - Lived there my senior year and then for a couple of summers and a couple months before the mission. (Just one address:))

3. Idaho - Attended college there.

4. California - Lived there for 18-ish months while on a mission for our church.

Four places I've been:
1. Bouchart Gardens, Canada - We went on a family trip...I can't remember what year...but had a great time. Rode my first ferry (FREE WILLY!!!...We were commandoing around the ferry and accidentally interupted a "romantic moment" for a couple...I'm sure their parents would thank us if they knew:)), was dazzled by the gardens, got my picture with some wax faces...

2. Mexico x2 - First time I went with my sophomore Spanish class. Second time I went on with three of my sibs on a roadtrip.

3. Hawaii - Kev and I went just because we could. Hung out at a local's house for 8 days of BLISS!:)

4. Cross country bus tour x2 - The first we rode from Montana to Texas where Jas picked us up and we continued on to Mexico, Arizona, California, Washington, Oregon, Washington again, Montana, and ended in Idaho. The second, Jas and I rode a bus from college on a church history tour as far east as Nauvoo and then back again.

Four people who email me regularly...
1. Sidestep.com....flight deal finder sight.
2. Uncle Norm.
3. Bank of America.
4. Alan's parents.

Four of my favorite foods...
1. Cheesecake.
2. Brownies.
3. Ice Cream.
4. Ranch Dressing...does that count?...

Close examination of this list brings my "after baby weight" concerns into clear focus... :)

Four places I'd like to visit...
1. Europe - we have friends in a couple countries...It would be AMAZING to have them show us around.

2. I'd like to go on a cross country temple tour...on Harleys. Hit as many temples as we could while enjoying the open road:)

3. Hike the Grand Canyon.

4. Really...I'm more into visiting family/friends rather than places...so...I'd like to visit as many places as I know people...(is that cheating?)

Four things I'm looking forward to in 2008...
1. Alan's birthday surprise:) (Which I would tell you about, but he'll probably read this and then the surprise would be blown a week before it happened...I've worked too hard to keep it a secret to blow it now;P)
2. Camping in Colorado.
3. Family reunion in August.
4. Thanksgiving/Christmas festivities in ID.

Four friends I am tagging...
1. KATRINA (that's right...something easy to warm up your blogging fingers on:))
2. Lis****a.
3. Jenn.
4. Stacey.

Ok...so I refuse to be tagged but I am SO GLAD that someone noticed that you are "sturdy!!" =) Geesh, I cannot believe someone actually said that.

Jake is DEFINITELY sturdy. =) Soooooo cute.

Wow so much that I never knew about you! ( This tells me that I am seriously lacking in the "make a relationship with your in-laws" department!) I don't know if I want to go to Hawaii on a vacation just because Kevin and I could be sitting cuddling or something and then he could say ..." Oh yeah I remember this with Lynette!" Kinda a mood killer!! :) Not that you and Kevin cuddled ...you know what I mean though!:) Anyways... loved reading your tag! WE love you!!
