I've been tagged again, again, and again

I've been tagged 3 times now and decided to buckle down and fulfill the request. I'm sorry. I did not forget about you, just trying to stick to my commitment to only spend 5-10 minutes a week on my blog. Otherwise, I could spend too long on the computer and not get other things done. Anyway, they are all different, so I decided to mesh them together to a simplified version and thank you for being patient with me :)

What were you doing ten years ago?
I was living in a humble apartment with my sweetheart Mike, in Bountiful. Working full-time at Griffin Enterprises doing their payroll and AP. I was going to school part-time at night. (Mike was doing the same). I was serving as 2nd Counselor for the Young Women's in the Val Verda 4th Ward (this was the first of the fourth time in this same calling for me :) and teaching flute lessons.

5 things on my to-do list today
1- I have an appointment to go visit a new Beehive (Sarah) and her mom to teach them about the Personal Progress Program and welcome her to our Beehive class and Young Women!
2-take the kids to the library to return books and check out new ones
3-go shopping for groceries
4-book hotel in London
5-take Nathan to piano lessons

5 snacks I enjoy
1-brownies and ice cream
2-apples
3-chips and salsa
4-string cheese
5-fruit snacks (okay, so I've snuck a few out of my kids treats)

5 places I've lived
1-Fruit Heights, UT
2-Rexburg, ID
3-Bountiful, UT
4-Draper, UT
5-Kaysville, UT

5 jobs that I've had
1-I was a popcorn girl! I worked for Zions Bank in the downtown main SLC office and handed out free popcorn to anyone passing by! It was one of my favorite jobs growing up.
2-I mowed and aerated lawns (took the business over for my big brother, Ryan, for 2 years while he was on his mission)
3-I was an office assistant to a professional photographer at Portrait Cove. It was fun watching all those beautiful brides come in and help putting together their wedding albums. I guess it started my bug of taking pictures and scrabooking:)
4-I answered phones for Feature Films for Families
5-the last 10 years I've done accounting, payroll and marketing for the following companies... Griffin's Golden Glow, Griffin Enterprises, Sky Blue Engineering, and AutoSmith

3 bad habits
1-I wake up every day too early in the morning. I get up around 5 and 6am, because I get so much done with the kids still sleeping, but on days that I want to sleep in... I can't!
2-I have to have a clean car. Inside and out. I guess working for an Auto Detailing company spoiled me.
3-Mike says that I worry too much about the little things, okay so I do, but I'm getting better!

name a bad habit you've changed
1-in the last year, I've realized that having a perfectly clean house isn't very important. I could spend a lot of my time cleaning and there was always something to do. After having my 3rd child, I just couldn't keep up and had to let a few things go. I am much happier and not as stressed out about it. (so is my husband and kids) and I am spending more time doing other great things. I still have a clean and organized house, but I've just relaxed a lot about it and learned there are more important things I can spend my time doing!

You've been tagged...Karen, Melanie and Addie
