I tried to ignore this tag the first time from my good friend Linda Rodriquez, but then it came again from another friend, Meredith Taylor. I guess it is time to give it a try, so please put up with my trip down my own memory lane for a minute...
What were you doing TEN years ago?
Getting married to the man of my dreams, going on a two week honeymoon to Vancouver and Kauai, moving into a new house with my husband and throwing a big reception for 200 people two weeks after we moved in. Then when all that was done, we started trying to get pregnant and soon we were expecting Sophie. My summer ten years ago was very unforgettable. Here is a picture of us on our wedding day:
What are five things on your to do list today?
Well, first of all, I don't have a to do list. I gave those up when I retired from my job 9 years ago (I also ditched my Franklin planner, my watch and my ability to lead a responsible life). But I did do some things today worth noting: I ate like a pig, I played games with the girls, I went to church and taught Sunday School to some darling six year olds, I watched the finale of the Food Network Star and I made a scrapbook page for something I'm pretty excited about. Another busy day full of my favorite things to do!
A snack I enjoy:
I think I have mentioned this before, but it is the only fitting answer to this question. Candy. Yep, I desire some daily and I really need to get over it. At 45 years old, you would think I could go a day without some gummy sharks or sour patch kids, huh? Chewy candy is really the only snack I can't live without, although salty things place a close second...
What would I do if I were a millionaire:
Nothing different then I am doing today. I don't need money to make me happy or change my life in anyway. I might buy a new pair of shoes though - I really need some new shoes. Or maybe give it all to families in need - that would be fun! Maybe a shopping spree at the new candy store in town that I can't stop visiting...
Places I have lived:
I was raised an Army brat, so I have been around town a bit:
Colonial Heights, Virginia (I was in Washington D.C. for the bicentennial - that was pretty cool!)
Fallbrook, Ca (I graduated from Fallbrook High after living for five years at the end of a 4 mile road leading to the boonies of loneliness for a teenager that didn't drive...was happy to move out at 18)
Carmel, Ca (my favorite city ever, but I was a small child)
All over Orange County, Ca including Huntington Beach, Tustin, Laguna Beach and now Laguna Niguel
And now to tag some others. If you are reading my blog, YOU have officially been tagged. Yes, that means you. And don't forget to link me to your blog if you actually take me up on this!
And now I will leave you with a couple more MAMBI layouts from CHA Summer using two of my favorite lines! Suzy
Oh yay! Thanks for doing this Suzy! And girl, you look exactly the same as you did 10 years ago, beautiful as ever. :) Great pages!

I love love love the Pumpkin Patch layout! don't know if I'll do the tag thing, but feel free to stop by my blog anyway. It's not as scrappy as your's but once-in-a-while I get something up there. Otherwise it's pictures and naratives of our Montana life.
