2. Exercise
3. Organize my finances
4. Digital scrapbooking (I gave up on getting them in photo albums)
5. Clean my house.
Snacks I enjoy...

2. Ice cream
3. Homemade cookies
4. Hot tamales or Juyifruit candy
5. Fresh Utah peaches – I had forgotten how good they can be!

3. Hire a housekeeper and cook
4. Travel
5. Do a lot of humanitarian work
Places I have been...

Jobs I've had...
1. TA/RA for two professors at BYU
2. Medical transcriptionist, medical record reviewer
3. Institute of Religion secretary
4. Spud harvester (potatoes) on a combine in ID for my husband’s uncle to pay off my pre-marriage debts (yeah, my husband brought the quilts, dishes, and savings account; my contribution was to come debt-free!)
5. Field disker on the ID farm (until I sunk the tractor in a sink hole that no one told me about. When I walked into church, the whole town knew who the girl from CA was already b/c the Woodville corner grocery store owner spread the word (does the “ville” give you a clue how small and tight this farming community is?) They may as well have put it on a billboard – very embarrassing! It happened just off the main road so everyone made sure they came and saw it. Then to make matters worse, it stayed in place all winter like an icon because there was no time to get it out beforehand with the harvest going on. So for years whenever we went back up there on vacations, I was well known. Big small town news …

I love the tractor-sinking story!
I have been checking your blog to see updates on you and how you are doing! Thanks for tagging me. :) I did the tag last month....does that count? ;)
I agree with Heidi - I was totally picturing you in the sink hole with the tractor...thanks for the laughs! :)
PS How is school going? Hang in there! I am really proud of you!
You've come along way baby!!!! We're so glad you're here near us now. We love it. We hope to see you in the next two or three weeks or so. Lots happening here with the boys planning a baptism on the 8th of Nov. We are so excited. They have family visits on Sundays so we may try to come down on a Friday night and go home mid day on Sat. while we still have daylight left to get stuff done before snow falls. Lots to do.
Much love to you - CZ & BZ
