I've been tagged! (Thanks Jana)

In February 1998...

I was on my mission in Salto, Uruguay. I was living in a 10x10 square foot cement block with wood shutters and no window panes, a metal corrugated roof (that leaked), a small space heater and a wire rack for our clothes. We were teaching the Martinez family who did get baptized and I still keep in touch with today. I had finally reached a point in my mission when I forgot myself and just focused on the work and came to really love the people. The companion I worked with (Hna. Thompson) I still keep in touch with her and we were roommates after the mission.

Things on my to do list...

It's Saturday, so I don't plan on doing much of anything. It's my only day Julio is around and I can just vegg. I do need to clean my disgusting bathroom and maybe take the kids to the park.

If I had a billion dollars...

That would be a huge responsibility I wouldn't want to have. But, I would get us (and my family) out of debt and buy a house. Set up savings accounts for our kids futures and for us. Invest some, and donate a lot to charity and cancer and Alzheimer's research.

3 Places I've lived...

1. Santa Monica, CA
2. Murray, UT
3. Citrus Heights, CA

5 Jobs I've had...

1. Mortuary assistant
2. Legal Secretary
3. Hostess at Sizzler
4. BYU Bookstore receptionist
5. 3rd grade Teacher

5 Things people don't know about me...

1. I auditioned for the Gong Show in 7th grade. (didn't make it)
2. I was a Depeche Mode fanatic in college and bribed a friend $20 for her backstage pass to meet them.
3. I would like to live out of the country for a couple of years with my family.
4. I love reading celebrity gossip magazines.
5. I am a huge Juanes fan, but don't like listening to music in the house-only in the car.

I worked at a mortuary the summer after my mission. The owner was in the Stake Presidency. I did all kinds of stuff-from vacuuming to delivering bodies to the crematorium.
