What I was doing ten years ago...
I was still a senior in High School! Hanging out with "The Nine," dating Rob, getting ready to go to Dixie in the fall...and loving life! I think I had just started working at RCWilley as a greeter, and I was really into working out and going tanning. (Uuggh?!? I will never go tanning again...I would rather be white than have skin cancer and wrinkles.)
What I was doing five years ago...
Let's see...February 2003. Brandon and I had been married 2.5 years. We had moved to Henderson, Nevada and just bought our first home. 53 Blaven Drive...I loved that little house! I was attending NSC working on my teaching degree, working as a dental assistant for Dr. Hadley and hating it, and serving as the primary chorister in our ward.
What I was doing one year ago...
February 2007...I was about one month pregnant with Addyson and fighting having no energy at all. I was working at Eagle Montessori school and loving it, serving in the Young Women, and starting to think about life as a mom!
What I did yesterday...
Yesterday I was awoken around 8:30 am by Addyson Jane cooing on the baby monitor. I fed her, changed her, and then was vomited on by her. After cleaning it up, I checked email and blogs for a while, ate some breakfast, and called to confirm Primary talks for Sunday. She went down for a nap and I did the dishes, folded some laundry...and watched The View. When she woke up, I fed her again, changed her again...and we got ready to go on a walk. I loaded her in the stroller and we walked for an hour. It was a beautiful day and I am trying to get back in shape...so we alternated walking/running . When we got home, we got Stampy and went back out for a short walk with her. Went to the car wash, fed Addyson again (noticing a pattern here?), folded some more laundry, got in the shower finally (at 4 pm), and got ready. At 7:00, Brandon, Addy and I went to our ward Adult Valentine's Dinner and Dance. Had a great time watching people too old to dance try to dance. I did some slow dancing with Brandon, which was fun...and some line dancing, too! Came home about 9:00, fed Addyson, put her to bed, and Brandon and I watched some tv and had some alone time. Went to bed about midnight. Great day!
Things I enjoy...
Reading the Sunday paper, getting good mail, getting and sending text messages to/from my family, frozen yogurt with cookie dough topping, Costa Vida sweet pork salads, entertaining, clean sheets, freshly vacuumed carpet with lines, SugarLand's new song "Stay" on CMT, hunting for new recipes online, sunny days, Addyson's smiles and giggles, kissing her belly, the smell of Brandon's face after he shaves, listening to talk radio, talking on the phone with my mom and laughing uncontrollably, eating macaroons, going hiking, Stampy curling up next to me...and reading in the bathtub.

5 Things I would do if I had a million dollars...
Buy a really nice boat, Pay off the house, travel A LOT, give some to my family, and never work again.
5 Places I would run away to...
Any cruise ANYWHERE; Sedona, Arizona; Island Park, Idaho; Lake Powell, Utah; and anywhere warm with a great beach.
5 TV shows I love...
King of Queens, Cash Cab, American Idol, Paula's Home Cooking, Jeopardy, Oprah, and CSI. (I know, that's more than five.)

5 Things I hate...
Stretch marks (Yuck?!@!), ketchup on burritos or scrambled eggs, the sound of a plastic spoon scraping the bottom of a styrofoam cup, baby spit up and the F-word. (Oh, and living away from our extended family.)
The 5 biggest joys of my life...
Addyson, Brandon, my family, my testimony of the gospel and eating.
I'm tagging...Ashley, Jaime, Tami and Christy!!!

Nikole,
I loved your answers! You are so good at remembering where and what you were doing all of those years ago! I am trying to remeber last week! Anyways, I love your blog, keep in touch!
I loved reading this. I am totally going to do it when I get a minute. I also love Sugarland, talk radio, and I despise stretch marks. And I would love to go tanning for so many reasons but I won't either.
