10 Years Ago???

What I was doing 10 years ago?

I had just moved home from Maryland and was living with my parents. I had a job waiting for me at a restaurant that I had worked at before I had moved to Maryland 2 years earlier. Later that year I moved to Vancouver, WA to attend school and to get away from my frustrating life with boys. When I moved I had no intentions on dating. I was determined to focus on school. Well the first weekend after I move to WA I met Adam. We met at a dive of a dance club in Portland. We were all standing outside waiting in line to get in when I saw him. He had a T-shirt on for the NCAA Final four basketball tournament. The first thing I thought was WoW he must play awesome Basketball. Well we all made it into the club and my roommates and I were all just dancing and having a good time when he came up to me and asked me to dance. Why not right??? The song ended and I said well we are leaving and he piped up and said "This is a bad neighborhood, would you let my roommates and I walk you to your car." He asked me for my number and believe it or not he called me that night. We talked all night long and right then I knew he was the one. So I finished school as we dated and I told him that I really liked him but I am moving to Utah for a new job. He moved to SLC about 6 months later and we were married in September of 1998. That's right our 10 year anniversary is this year...hint...hint....Adam. 1998 was a good year for me.

5 things on my "to-do" list today...
1. Get up and get the kids to school. Oh ya and remember to feed them.
2. Put the laundry away...Ya that never happened...
3. Start my Taxes...I mean fix last years Taxes to get more money back :)
4. Go to the grocery store...That didn't happen either...
5. Take a nap with Mason. Well he got the nap not me...

6 Snacks that I enjoy…
1. Carmel Apples. Rocky mountain Chocolate factory has the best!!!
2. Mom's Carmel popcorn. I could make myself sick.
3. Gooey Chex cereal mix with coconut, almonds, Golden Grahams, and Corn Chex. I can only make this during the holidays because I would eat it all!!!
4. Any kind of Ice cream
5. Dr. Pepper Love the burn but right now I am on a hiatus from soda
6. Apples and Dip. Thanks Michelle for the recipe

3 Bad habits...
1. I can't for the life of me keep the island in my kitchen cleaned off. Adam tries to help but his way is to shove it all in a box and put it in a closet
2. This one is gross but I am a scab picker and zit popper...
3. Never dusting until I see the kids have written their name on the TV or the entry way table.

If I were suddenly a billionaire I would...
1. travel, travel, travel but I would buy a ticket so I wouldn't have to worry if I'm going to get
on the plane.
2. Hire a maid to clean my mansion and fold the laundry.
3. Put plumbing in our family cabin so that I don't have to trapes through the snow to the outhouse to sit on a frozen seat in the middle of the night and so my Mom would enjoy going to the cabin.
4. Buy a house closer to family since I wouldn't have to work anymore.
5. Buy my husband a rusted out broke down 1967 Mustang so he can tinker around and fix it up like new.

Places I've lived…
1. St. Anthony, ID
2. Philadelphia, PA
3. Salisbury, MD
4. Vancouver, WA
5. Rose Park, UT
6. West Valley, UT
7. West Jordan, UT
8. Kearns, UT
9.South Weber, UT

5 Jobs I've had…

2. Produce and Bakery worker at a couple grocery stores
3. Dishwasher, Prep Cook, Hostess, Server at a restaurant

My favorite part was the 1967 car for Adam. That was so sweet!!!

Aleesha said...

What a good love story. Did Adam move to Utah just for you? Or did he already have plans of moving here?

Nicole said...

Thats a great story. Everyone was doing much better things ten years ago then I was. I am looking pretty boring about now.

I think you are wrong. I am pretty sure what you were doing ten years ago was writing this post. It's been awhile since you updated so I thought I should tease you a bit.
