What was I doing 10 years ago?

I had just graduated from High-School and believe that on this exact date I was driving from Portland, OR to Provo, UT with everything I owned in an ’84 Honda Acord with a brand-new, custom, barney-purple paint job. My teddy bear was buckled into the front seat on top of a laundry basket full of shoes. I was screaming down a highway in the middle of the desert at 90 MPH with the radio blasting some ungodly Honky Tonk that just happened to be the only thing I could find on the dial. Chances are I was singing along at the top of my lungs, my left leg was definitely hanging out the window and I’m pretty sure my pigtails were flappin’ around in the wind. Looking back, that was probably the best road trip I had ever taken to that date.

What was I doing 1 year ago?

I was on vacation in Portland, reevaluating my beliefs and restructuring my lifestyle. I was nearly ½ way to losing the 100 lbs. I had set out to lose the previous January, and was stoked that I had support from Mom while Hubby was in what seemed to be endless months of police training.

5 snacks I enjoy

1. Smoked Salmon, Moose or Reindeer (so, I’ve been a little bit spoiled up here in AK)
2. Fruit (Nectarines, Strawberries, Blueberries, Blackberries, and Tuscan Cantelope Rock!)
3. Nuts (Cashews, Macadamias and Pistachios are my favorite… especially if they come in cookies or chocolate)
4. Cosmo Corn (The most amazing caramel popcorn I have ever tasted in my life! I’ve only seen it at Bale’s Thriftway and The Tillamook Cheese Factory)
5. German Chocolate Cake Ice Cream Concoction from Cold Stone (Sweet cream ice cream, fresh-baked brownie, toasted coconut and chopped pecans with caramel and fudge topping swirled in… Yah, it’s heaven in a cone)

5 songs that I know all the lyrics to…
