Day 13: a fictional book

Toes are to Tickle by Shen Roddle: One of my kids favorite story books.

Day 12: something(s) you are OCD about

I have a few. For those who know me well, none of these will come as a surprise to you!

1. Weight Watchers-I have been a member for 2 years and a life timer for 18 months and I still journal every bite I put into my mouth :)
2. Money-I have to balance my bank statement the day I get it, I love a good budget :)
3. I need a list-it makes me feel like I have accomplished something.

Day 11: a photo of you recently

 Miss. K took this photo of me 5 minutes ago. Not too bad for a 4 year old!

This Wednesday we had the ward Halloween party. I was trying to blow a bubble. I dressed up as Little Red Riding Hood, Miss. P is an 80's Rock Star and this is our friends little girl just hanging out with us.

So there you have it, a recent photo (or 2).

Day 10: a photo taken over 10 years ago of you

So here is the thing...I have no pictures of me over 10 years ago on my computer. I don't have a scanner and they are all in scrapbooks. So for todays journal entry I will give you a detailed description of what was going on in my life 10 years ago.

I was living in Magna,Utah. I had an 18 month old little girl and was puking my guts out with my 2nd pregnancy.  My husband had been laid off from his job about 9 months ago and was working at a very low-paying job that he hated and had nothing to do with all the schooling he had received but it was paying the bills, barely. During October of 2000 he was offered a new job that paid 3 times what he was currently making but he was required to travel a ton, he took the job and worked there for 5 years.  I got called to be the Young Women's president and my husband got called to be the Young Men's president all in the same month.

Our lives always seem to have a little bit of chaos in them, but that is what keeps it interesting.

Day 9: a photo you took

We took a trip to the "Gateway Mall" this spring. The weather was still kind of cold but the kids really wanted to just "touch" the water. It was a pretty fun day!

Day 8: a photo that makes you angry/sad

This photo doesn't necessarily make me angry but maybe a little sad. Mr. A and Hubby went on the Father and Sons campout. While there they fished for crawdads and two of the young men decided to see how tough they were and attach the crawdads to themselves. Don't they look like they are in pain, but yet it makes me laugh just a little.

Day 7: A photo that makes you happy

This was taken in Moab this summer. It reminds me of Indiana Jones!!
