5 Things

So we were tagged by Ms. Margaret Tueller Proffitt to create this list...you might be next...

5 things we were doing 10 years ago:
1. Phillip was the starting center for the Joseph Lane Junior High School Freshman Basketball Team
2. Jen was playing in BYBA (Belmont Youth Basketball Association) on the maroon team
3. Jen had just turned 13 and was excited to start being a teenager...although it didn't afford her any special privileges...none the less it was an exciting time
4. Not thinking about paying for rent/utilities/food....no financial stresses at 13/14 (how nice)
5. Not watching the Red Sox play in the World Series (its going to different this time...i just know it)

* Frankly it was hard to think about things we did 10 years ago. I mean who really thinks about that? Plus what kind of 13/14 year old really takes all that much in?

5 things on our "to-do list" tomorrow:
1. Watch game 7....yes folks, we're going to take it to 7 and all the way to the World Series!!
2. Go to church (and try and be on time at 8am!)
3. Take a nap
4. Pack to go to Hawaii!!! YES! (just Jen of course...Phil has to stay in Provo and work/study, poor guy)
5. Grade more poorly written freshman papers

5 things we would do if we had a million dollars:
1. pay off my student loans and pay for Phil's graduate school tuition (wherever that may be)
2. buy a house
3. have babies
4. invest in the stock market
5. travel to Africa (together this time) and climb Kilimanjaro as Jen waits at the bottom hanging with the monkeys

5 things we will never wear again:
1. Acid wash jeans
2. plaid-flannel shirts
3. hyper color shirts
4. overalls
5. tapered jeans

5 favorite toys:
1. baseball and mitt (2 mitts preferably)
2. our BOSE CD player (graciously give to us by Kim and Sue last Christmas!)
3. Tim and Anna's Wii before they moved :(
4. blogger.com...we love being able to "stalk" our family and friends
5. wikipedia.org...it's the best website and it knows everything (or close to everything worth knowing)

5 people we're tagging...

Clarky Cubed, The Bradfords, BookerBean (yes you can do it Book, even though you weren't alive 10 years ago; have an imagination), Mike and Hannah (if they ever get their blog back up!), and Julia Clark (yes Julia, you need to start a blog and I think this will be a great way to do it!)

  1. Life was so much easier 10 years ago! Have fun in Hawaii, my dream is to be able to do the same thing with my sisters when they are older.

  3. Your Hawaii sunset pictures are beautiful! I love your lists. I have a part on my computer where I make lists...places I would like to visit, favorite places I have visited,.....haven't thought about what I would do with a million dollars (probably pay a lot of taxes and tithing, then think about the remaining money. I'm sure you guys would get your share :)
    Love you!
