Why not...

I'm at work and I'm bored so I thought I'd do this since my friend Bethany tagged me.

What were you doing 10 years ago?

January 31st 1998 I was living in West Jordan UT with my Aunt and Uncle Jack and Kelly and teaching kindergarten at KinderCare Learning Center in West Valley. I was also just getting ready to submit my papers for my mission.

5 things on my list today:

1. Sleep in!
2. Go to my voice lesson.
3. Go to Choir
4. Go to a vocal coaching with the opera director.
5. Go to rehearsal for Julius Caesar

5 snacks that I enjoy:

1. Carmel rice cakes
2. String cheese
3. Quaker 90 calorie granoal bars
4. Chips & salsa
5. Cinnamon grahm crackers & milk

3 bad habits:

1. Not getting my oil changes when I'm supposed to.
2. Holding all my frustrations inside then bursting into a cry fest when I can't take the stress anymore.
3. Being a little self-critical

If I were suddenly a billionaire:

1. Pay off my student loans
2. Higher a personal trainer for life
3. Go on a HUGE clothing and shoe shopping spree
4. Buy a car that's new than 1997
5. Donate money to my undergraduate music program so they could get some better facilities
6. Organize music scholarships for singers
5. Help my siblings finish getting through school
6. Travel to all the places I've ever wanted to go
7. Buy a house

5 places I've lived (I've got more than that!):

1. California (Tustin, Mission Viejo & Irvine)
2. Utah (Logan, West Jordan, Riverton & Ogden)
3. Needham, Massachusettes
4. Charoltte, North Carolina
5. Rexburg, Idaho
6. Guayaquil, Ecuador
7. Mesa, Arizona

5 jobs I've had:

1. Grocery Clerk
2. Pre-school teacher
3. Receptionist (Temp)
4. EFY Counselor
5. Administrative assistant

5 things people don't know about me:

1. I can't stand people who are stuck up and talk about themselves all the time.
2. I've never eaten Sushi
3. I get really nervous when I am a passenger in someone's car and the follow to closely. I usually have to close my eyes.
4. I get more nervous to sing in church than I do before a theater of 1,000+ people
5. I'm terrified to graduate because I have no idea what my next step is. I love school and could be an eternal student if I didn't have to write papers and take tests.

I guess I'll tag: My sister Shelley, my cousins Stephanie & Alicia, my favorite old roommate Jami and well...anyone else who wants to do this.

What's the big idea?!

It is 36' degrees this morning in Phoenix! I moved here to get away from this kind of weather and I swear it's followed me. It is so cold I had to wear a heavy coat and gloves and I could see my breath. Make it STOP!!! Oh well, at least I'm not still in Logan. It's only 16' there this morning. Brrrrrrrrrrrrr!

My True Color

What's Your True Color?

My Result: Green

You're green, the color of growth and vigor. Good-hearted and giving, you have a knack for finding and bringing out the best in people. Green is the most down-to-earth color in the spectrum — reliable and trustworthy. People know they can count on you to be around in times of need, since your concern for people is genuine and sincere. You take pride in being a good friend. For you, success is measured in terms of personal achievement and growth, not by status or position. Rare as emeralds, greens are wonderful, natural people. It truly is your color!

Take this test >

Happy New Year!

Happy New year! It's incredible how fast time flies. This year is sure to be full of excitement and adventure. The first big event to happen will be GRADUATION! Yes it's true, on May 8, 2008 yours truly will have a masters degree. I have really enjoyed my time at Arizona State and as much as I want to be done with school I'm sad to see it come to an end. I have been a student for...well...it seems like forever and you kind of get used to that after a while. That said I am ready start making money instead of borrowing it. What are my plans for after graduation you ask? Right now, I'm not really sure. I have a lot of ideas running around in my head and so my main goal this semester is to narrow them down to a few really good ones and go from there. If I had my way I would of course try to make a career performing, but I don't know how realistic that is when you have to support yourself and pay back student loans. I'm truly grateful to my friends and family for all their support and ideas and I know that it will help a lot when I need to finally make a decision so keep them coming! I hope that you all had a wonderful holiday and that you are looking forward to a great new year as well. More pictures soon!
