My First Tag

I've been tagged a few times, but this is the first time I've actually 'acted' on it. (Yours is next, Ang.)
1.Jobs I have had:
Newspaper Carrier – This was my first job, I shared a route with my sisters. It was the perfect way to learn responsibility & money management!
○ Orchard Drug - I started working as a pharmacy technician when I was 15- for my grandpa who STILL owns a small drug store in North Salt Lake (I also worked for my uncle at Dick's Market, and for ShopKo in Provo). This is how I put myself through college.
First Grade Teacher- This was my first salary job! After 4 years of hard work in college, and then this... more hard work!
○ Kindergarten Teacher – I enjoyed first grade, but when asked to switch to kindergarten I didn't hesitate- this is my favorite age of children to teach, hands down!
Piano Teacher – I currently do this 3 days a week from my home and have 8 students. I LOVE it! It's rewarding to watch my students progress each week. It's the perfect way to combine my love of teaching with my love of the piano.
Mother -And last, but not least is my current job as wife & mother! I LOVE every minute of the challenge and joy that this eternal job brings!!

2. ALL the places I have lived.
○ Murray, UT
○ Provo, UT
Jerusalem (for 2 months)
○ Palos Verdes, CA
○ Henderson, NV
Las Vegas, NV

3. Four movies that I love. (Love is a strong word for movies for me. I really prefer not to re-watch movies.)
The Pursuit of Happiness
Ella Enchanted
Sister Act- an oldie but goodie
We Are Marshall

4. Four favorite foods.
Fruit: grapes, kiwi, strawberries, watermelon, etc.
Anything Mexican

○ Salmon

5. Four weird things about me. (these aren’t really WEIRD, but maybe something you don’t know..)
○ I cut Bill's hair- it's progressively gotten better since we've been married.
○ I have a TOUGH time waking up to alarm clocks (OK, so that's not news to any of you who were my roommates)!
○ I've had my ingrown toenails removed twice (that was for you, Julie).
○ I celebrate holidays to the full extent- all green food on St. Patrick's day, a heart belt worn all through the month of February, not to mention my 'seasonal' earrings.


6. Four favorite TV shows.
○ The news; The Today show
○ The Office- when I remember to watch it
○ American Idol
○ Dancing with the Stars

7. Four places I would love to go.
Hawaii
○ An Alaskan cruise- or one to the Caribbean
To take Bill back to Nauvoo
To Jerusalem with Bill

8. People I tag...

Okay I just replayed the "alarm clock fiasco" in my mind and I'm laughing still. One of my ALL time favorite Glenwood memories. I still remember the toenail procedures...ugh! Thanks for the fun read. I can't believe your grandpa is still working away at the pharmacy! Wow! I'll start thinking about mine, I think I've done one similar a while back!

I loved all of your new posts. Catelyn is just so cute. I love that little girls like to dress up. I'm glad your kitchen doesn't smell anymore.

I think going to nauvoo is the best idea on your tag list!!! I know some great people you could stay with and they can really show you a good time! I have been tagged a few times too, so I better get to it!
xoxo lou oh, and of course I remember the alarm clock too!
