My friend Sean tagged me with this. I decided today was a good day to play. So here goes.
What was I doing ten years ago?
Ten years ago. Hmm. That would be April of 1998. Yikes. I was finishing up my junior year of high school. I was furious with my parents because by this time we had decided to move during the summer from Garden City to the east side of Kansas. I was soooo mad. I missed out on sooo much my senior year...but looking back now...everything I missed out on was worth what I gained. I got to spend a summer living closer to Neal...and I'm sure that was the time that sealed the deal for us. It was a hard summer with my parents...and I don't like looking back on who I was during that time. Moving on.
5 places I have travelled:
1. Myrtle Beach, South Carolina
2. New Orleans, LA
3. Cripple Creek, CO
4. Bakersfield, CA
5. Orlando, FL
I've never been out of the country. Sigh. I guess I need to get out more.
5 snacks or treats I enjoy:
1. Homemade whole wheat soft pretzels
2. Homemade cinnamon raisin bread slathered in butter
3. Wedding cake
4. Jill's cookies
5. Scotcheroos (Peanut butter rice krispy treats covered in butterscotch and chocolate)
What would I do if I were a billionaire?
1. Pay Bills
2. Buy a house
3. Open my parents pool back up
4. Build some safe places for kids to be in the Sudan
5. Make sure that young girls in Africa got feminine hygiene products.
