What were you doing 10 years ago?
Hmm, hard for me to remember back that far! LOL! In 1998 I was working for The Trane Company as an accounting clerk for the first part of the year and going to school at the community college. Finished up my generals for my transfer to Utah State that fall which I went into the Animal Science major. That was the same year my horse got her tooth ripped out on a fence and had to have it surgically repaired. I remember telling the vet that I probably wouldn't be able to go to school because of it, and he told me I had to go or he wouldn't fix it! At the time I was dating Niels (and also worked for him so it was hush, hush at work), still living at home until I moved to Logan that fall. That was also the year I bought my first car, oh I loved that Honda! I had 3 horses (2 split with Niels), and one cat, and of course Niels' dog Kaymin was practically mine.
What are 5 things on my to-do list?
Wow that list is long right now! Here are the current ones!
1. Sign on our house! Thursday
2. Laundry and pack for trip
3. Go to Utah on vacation
4. Move into house, then clean out and get out of apartment! (Yeah!)
5. Organize and enjoy house!
What snacks do you enjoy?
Dark chocolate, dark chocolate, and more dark chocolate. Also ice cream, and popcorn. Yeah real healthy stuff huh? Well besides those I really like fresh fruit, and pomegranate fruit bars from Target.
What would you do if you had a billion dollars?
Of course set up family and friends for life! Hmm, start some type of charity/scholarship program(s). Set up an animal rescue, mainly horses but also other animals.
And for fun, I'd travel to Iceland, buy a HUGE horse ranch backing up to national forest, and tons of horses to go with it and a staff to upkeep it. I'd also hire a housekeeper for sure!
What are 3 bad habits that you have?
1. I say "huh" after every sentence almost. Haven't been able to break it after quite a few years. (Thanks Julie H for pointing it out. :) )
2. I eat too much junk food still. I am reformed and try to do good with eating, but if it is there I still am really bad about eating it. Chocolate especially.
3. I don't keep the cats off the desk in the office. It drives Niels nuts. I try, but I keep forgetting. Besides they are so cute curled up on the desk!
Name 6 places you have lived?
1. Salt Lake City, Utah
2. Sandy, Utah

5 Things people don't know about me?
Well I'll pretty much tell you everything but here are some
1. I can touch my nose with my tongue (a real talent, I know!)
2. I said no to Niels the first time he asked to date me and then starting dating him a year later when he asked again (Best choice I ever made! Good thing he was persistent :) )
3. I had my last horse for about 14 years
4. I wanted a natural childbirth the first time around and had an epidural after 24 hours of labor. The second time around I wanted an epidural and had natural childbirth and he was born within 3 1/2 hours on Labor Day!
5. I graduated a year early from high school because I couldn't stand it there!
