I was reading Sherelle's blog on Friday, so here's my answers! 10 years ago? I guess I was fifteen back then, so a sophomore in high school. I had my Quinceanera that summer, my big fifteenth birthday party, which was awesome! I had my CNA license {Certified Nursing Assistant} and worked at the Rexburg Nursing Home, and Arctic Circle in Rexburg. Things on my to-do List today? Finish painting the back room at Scrapalicious, finish my cards that I made yesterday, catch up on reading blogs, and maybe check out the new Oakridge Furniture store in Rigby. What would I do if I were suddenly made a billionaire? 1. Pay off all our bills and mortgages. 2. Help friends and family with their debt. 3. Build a new home for us and our parents. 4. Open up a bigger store! 5. Donate money to needed charities. 6. Live in London and Italy for a month or two out of the year. 7. Continue traveling around the world with my family. Three of my bad habits? Hoarding all the cutest scrapbooking paper and embellishments, leaving my shoes right by the door or anywhere Levi happens to walk and so he trips on them(not on purpose, I guess they're "always in the way", and finding spelling mistakes on other people's journaling...sorry Cherry! Five jobs I've had? 1. Working as a CNA at the Rexburg Nursing Home, and Teton Valley Hospital, in high school. 2. Making icecream cones and shakes at Arctic Circle in Rexburg, where I would make my own awesome oreo fudge shakes, with mostly oreo chunks! 3. Making pizzas and waitressing at Joe's Place which is long gone in Driggs, waitressing at "Cancun", which changed to "Hernandez Mexican Restaurant" and then burned down. Waitressing at O'Rourkes and Guadalajara...yep I was making some good money! I worked at 2 restaurants at once, while I also worked at... 4. Allstate or "A Better Insurance Agency" back when Ron Ramirez had it. 5. Working at Corner Drug as a Pharmacy Technician/ and multi tasking everything else there...if you've been there you'll know what I am talking about! I have had a lot of jobs now that I think about it! Many more, but I'll just list those...I have owned my own scrapbook store Scrapalicious for almost 2 years now, I moved it to Rigby, from Driggs, and now I get to do what I love and take Gulianna with me! Five things people don't know about me? Hmmmm...I don't know~! 1-I like to speed, I can't help it, I have been addicted to speeding in my car ever since I have gotten my drivers license. I can't tell you how many times I have been pulled over...no it's really quite ridiculous. I used to get so many speeding tickets, I had my license taken away for a moment...I guess it's because I uset to drive a camaro and a firebird, cops would instantly pull me over even if someone ahead of me was speeding, but they were not driving a noticeable sports car, I guess! 2-Having gone through a horrible miscarriage on Christmas evening, two years ago, still haunts me, I still think about it, even though I feel like it was meant to happen, I can't stop reminding myself about it. 3-I wash my hair every two or three days, my hair just works better that way! 4-I can down an Orange Dream Machine from Jamba Juice, probably under 2 minutes or less, no I haven't timed myself, but its pretty fast! 5- I am terrified of drowning, I can't swim, well maybe if I absolutely had to, I might survive...I have taken many years of swimming lessons, but I can't swim. I panick if I am in the deep end of a swimming pool. I love to be out on the lake, but I have to have a life jacket, and I have to constantly remind myself that I am not making up underwater creatures that will suck me under. I hate thinking of what is under me when I am out on the lake! NOW...I tag Chelsey, Claudia, and Camille!

Valentine's and pictures of Gulianna...

Last night after work, Gulianna and I went to Sonic for a strawberry cream slush...and then to Sam's Club to pick up some pictures. Then later, we went to Johnny Carino's for dinner, Levi met us there. Not a good night to go, but we really wanted the "Spicy Shrimp and Chicken" the best there! It was packed, the wait was an hour, so we went over to Deseret Book, and Bed, Bath, & Beyond, to waste some time! When we got back to Johnny's it was time to be seated...only to be ignored for another 10 minutes, I hate waiting for at least water to drink...something! Gulianna got to sit in a high chair for the second time! She was so excited to be like us! She was screaming with excitement, she was so happy! Everyone kept looking over. But then Levi said, now how are you going to get her to be quiet, it may be cute to us...but it's probably annoying everyone else! I said it didn't matter, cuz it was really noisy in the restaurant anyway! Gulianna also kept grabbing the little plate and napkin, she's a fast little one! She is starting to crawl now, just last Friday, I stopped at Lana's house, and I was amazed at how fast Alea could crawl around, I couldn't imagine Gulianna crawling...and now guess what~she's starting to crawl!! She also does this funny thing where she blows air out of her little mouth! These are pictures that I took of her in her dress that she got for Christmas from Grandma Connie, I took these on February 1st, 6 MONTHS OLD, I can't believe it! Gulianna was interested in the Christmas tree, more than taking pictures...{yes, I still have my Christmas tree up} there's that tree again!

Yes, I actually scrapbooked!!!

YAAAAA!!! I made 2 pages yesterday!!! I love this noteworthy line!
