I was tagged by Courtney over at Joyful Weddings and Events for this meme.
Hmm, ten years ago I was teaching Kindergarten in Iowa. Lance was finishing his last round of rotations in vet school. We were preparing for his graduation, our move to MN, and closing on our first home. Oh and I was in the midst of job hunting. Although I was excited for Lance to start his new job, I was very sad to be leaving my job and friends in IA.
Things on my to do list?
Like Courtney, I love to do lists! I make lists constantly!
This month?

Things most people probably don't know about me?
- I was voted biggest brown noser and most talkative in my senior high school class
- When I was in about 4th grade I sang a duet in church - so at one time in my life I could actually sing :o)
- I do not like doing any type of public speaking or being the center of attention
- I can be quiet when I first meet a person until I feel comfortable

Thanks for sharing! Biggest brown noser? How on earth did you get that title? LOL!
Ya, how did you get the biggest brown noser award? They must have been wrong!
This was a fun meme. How many states have you visited so far?
Wanna help clean my house when you finish yours?
I want to visit all 50 states too! But first we are trying to get all of Idaho counties first.
Also I saw you running yesterday and you were kicking butt! Way to go!
okay, i just read the vacations chapter in cold tangerines and i almost started crying, too. i then made my husband read it and we had a talk about vacations. we've never taken true family vacations--we live far from family, too (not as far as you do), and so we travel to see family, but it never really feels like vacation to me. i guess maybe because the sense of obligation is really strong within me. anyway, thanks for recommending the book and i am so excited that you are going on a vacation! we're going to try for one this summer.
