What is the best thing you cooked last week?
Spicy Nacho Bake was the only thing I cooked last week. We all got sick on Tuesday and ended up eating soup and take out the rest of the week. Just so you know, it wasn't the spicy nacho bake that made us sick.

If time, money, and babysitting were no object, where would you go and with who? We would rent a beach house in Lincoln City, OR for the whole summer and just hang out.

When was the last time you cried? I honestly don't remember the last time I had a really hard cry. I got a little teary on Sat.

List 5 things you were doing 10 years ago.
1. I was attending the singles ward and hating every minute of it.
2. I was having fun with my college friends.
3. I was finishing up my Jr. year at UNLV. I was actually attending my classes instead of hanging out at the institute all day.
4. In May of 1998 I went to NY with my friend Robyn. We spent the week racking up charges on our visa, seeing plays and having fun.
5. I was working as a long term substitute at a Jr. High school. I taught computers to 6th, 7th, and 8th graders. It was a year round school, so I had the job the entire summer. It was that summer that made me decide I would NEVER in a million years teach at a JR. High School ever again once that job was finished.

5. I was teaching 3rd grade.

List 5 of your favorite memories.
1. When they placed Thomas on my stomach after he was born. The birth was not a great memory because the epidural didn't work and unfortunately watching "A Baby Story" wasn't a good labor preparation. I guess they have those classes for a reason.

2. Clara's whole birth. It was so easy and fast. When she came out I was able to hold her for just a second and then they handed her to Steve while they finished me up. I will never forget Steve holding her and talking to her for the first time.

3. Meeting Steve for the first time. I knew I was going to marry him.

4. Taking all the stairs up to the top of Notre Dame and looking out at Paris with Steve.

5. Any Saturday morning when all 4 of us hang out in our bed and talk. I guess Clara doesn't really talk, but she lays there with us.

Okay, I tag everyone who is on my link list.
