Halley girl really believes that she is surfing in this picture.  I love her imagination!

Holly tagged me, so here is some more random information about my little life.

What I was doing 10 years ago
I was lifeguarding full time and planning our wedding.  That was such a fun summer!  I went to a bunch of festivals with Jason, almost daily visited our house as it was being built, took tons of hikes with my Lab puppy Roger and hand addressed 600 invitations while I was housesitting a mansion.  It is insane to think that our 10yr. anniversary is just around the corner!  I was such a little kid back then! 
Five things on my to-do list today
1.  I have a ton of signs to make, but we had a freak rainstorm and all of my wood and tools got wet.  Not good.  Beg for mercy from my customers.
2.  Wash a load of diapers and fold 6 loads of laundry.
3.  Sew dresses for Patriotic Day next week.
4.  Sew a birthday present.
5.  Sew a baby shower gift.
The Lakers are playing tonight so I should have some great crafty time.
Snacks I enjoy
1.  Chips and homemade salsa or guacamole.
2.  Chocolate (Junior Mints this week...)
3. Cream cheese with salsa poured on top eaten with Wheat Thins
4.  Summer fruit... can't get enough!
Things I would do if I were a millionaire
My life wouldn't be too different.  I would add on a craft room, remodel the bathroom to put in a huge bathtub, spend a ton at Pottery Barn and Land of Nod, buy an R.V. so we could beach camp every weekend... All those things sound fun, but are just "things".  I like my life the way it is right now.  Lots of money complicates everything.
Places I have lived
I have lived in Orange County my entire life, except for a stint in Missouri for college.  I'm a Cali girl through and through.  
So now I get to tag 6 people.  You can have something to blog about tomorrow.  Have fun!

Bethany tagged me... so here I go:

4 Jobs I have had:  ( I have had a ton, but I will pick my faves.)

1.  Lifeguard  (Got paid (a lot)  to be tan and drive a boat.  Miss it.)
2.  Paint your own ceramics shop (Got paid (a little) to paint.  Miss it.)
3.  Innkeeper at a Bed & Breakfast (Got free nights.  Miss it.)
4.  Manager at my best friend's hair salon (Got paid ( a lot) to get my hair done for free.  Miss it.)
I am glad that I get to stay home now, but if I had to have a job I would be happily beg to be rehired at any of the above.

4 Movies I have watched more than once:  (Not counting the ones the girls watch over and over.)

1.  Once (Stop reading, go to Blockbuster and rent it right now.  I am serious!  My Favorite ever.  Borrowed it from a friend and plan on never giving it back.  Sorry Amy.  Buy the soundtrack on iTunes while you are at it.)
2.  Emma (The Gwyneth Paltrow one.  I based my wedding on Emma's and copied her dress.)
3.  Waiting For Guffman (Nothing can make me laugh harder.  My husband and I work lines from this movie into everyday conversation.  We are huge dorks.)
4.  Romeo + Juliet (The Leonardo DiCaprio/ Claire Danes one.  Enough cool film making to even out my nerdy love of Shakespeare.)  

4 T.V. Shows I cannot miss

1.  The Office (We have to put a loud fan in the hallway so our girls don't wake up from our laughter.)
2.  Lost (Totally love it, totally hate it.  Totally addicted to attempting to figure anything out.)
3.  Project Runway (Only wishing I could whip up 1% of the stuff they create.)
4.  The Soup (As we are watching shows we love to predict what clips Joel McHale will make fun of.  Paula Abdul... watch out.  I am betting you are getting a whole segment Friday.)

4 People who email me regularly:

1.  My hubby.  (I send pics during the day of the mischief the girls make, he helps me survive said mischief.)
2.  Natasha (my sis in law, we're always making some sort of plans.)
3.  Alicia (my crafty friend.. we are always sending each other links for things we want to make or buy.)
4.  Joy (My first email friend.)

4 Places I have been:

1.  I have been to 49 states (only Alaska is missing, my husband was a musician and I used to hitch a ride on the tour bus.)
2.  Austrailia for the Hillsongs Conference (I have a intense hatred of flying and I was 15 weeks pregnant.  Rough 17 hours, many of them spent in tears.  But by far the most beautiful, friendly amazing country ever.  Wishing I could teleport there.)
3.  Mexico (We take the youth group to build houses there every Summer.  Best week ever.)
4.  Ontario, Canada (In the Winter.  Freezing cold.  Beautiful though.)

4 Favorite Foods

1.  Pizza (all kinds, I could eat it every single day.)
2.  Coffee (maybe not a food, but I am obsessed with it.)
3.  Ice Cream (involving lots of chocolate and peanut butter.)
4.  REAL Mexican Food (not American-ruined Mexican food.)

4 Places I would like to visit

1.  Africa (Jason went to Uganda last Summer and it changed his life.)
2.  England (for my dorky love of all things British.)
3.  Ireland (I'm 3/4 Irish, and would love to explore my heritage.)
4.  Australia (I would love to go back, for vacation this time, and not pregnant.)

4 Things I am looking forward to this year

1.  10th anniversary trip to kauai (just me and my man.)
2.  Disney Cruise (jealous?  Thought so!)
3.  Opening my children's Etsy shop (HalleLuLu.)
4.  Halley starting Jr. Kindergarten (she gets to wear uniforms!  Crazy cute!)

4 People I am tagging:

1.  Joy
2.  Trish
3.  Ashley
4.  Kelley

I was tagged by Sofee and it goes like this:  grab the book nearest you, go to page 123, cound down five sentences and type the next three sentences. We have a little table with cubbies next to the computer where we keep some of our Bibles (my husband loves different translations, sizes etc... we have a lot).  I picked the one on top and here it goes:


Yes, I have heard the complaints the Israelites are making against me.  Now tell them this: 'As surely as I live, declares the Lord, I will do to you the very things I heard you say.  You will all drop dead in this wilderness!  Because you complained against me, every one of you who is twenty years old or older and was included in the registration will die.  You will not enter and occupy the land I swore to give you.'  
Numbers 14:27-30

How glad are you that we have Jesus?  By his grace we are free from the law.  Every time I read the Old Testament I take a look at what I think are "problems" in my life and realize I have it pretty good.  I much prefer the knowledge that I am going to heaven than the fear that I "will drop dead in the wilderness."
