I have been Tagged by Laurel~

Yea! I love getting tags, so Laurel thanks, I am responding right now. Oh, and I am tagging Dawnell Midgley, Lisa Anderson, and Jen Butterfield. Let's see those up you guys!!!

20 years ago:
1988-I was seven years old and living in Bountiful, Utah. My mom was pregnant with Beth and I was obsessed with Dumbo's Circus. I loved following my Dad around and being his little stage manager. I would belt out Les Miz at every possible turn and my best friend was Heidi Brown. I was going to Adelaide Elementary and my crush was on.......hmmm I don't remember having a crush on anyone yet.

10 years ago:
1998-Okay, that was the end of my sophomore year. I was going to Lone Peak High School, working on a bad version of "A Midsummer Night's Dream" monologue, working at Wendy's in Lehi, and excited to be going to the Prom with Marty Johnson. Marty and I had such a fun time. What a great guy. I was in "Singin' in the Rain" as a chorus girl. My crush was, of course, Jon Zabriskie. I think anyone who knew me in High School knew that I was smitten. Isn't High School funny that way?

5 years ago:
2003-Wow, this was NOT my finest moment. January-August were really rough months for me. Bad, bad things were happening. But then, in August I was in "Savior of the World" up in Salt Lake and it completely changed my life. I was able to be happy and reconnect with my family and myself again. Plus, December of 2003 was when I met Adam. I would go through the first 3/4 of that year over and over again so that I could find what I did at the end.

3 years ago:
2005-This was the greatest year. Adam and I got married in April, moved to Florida for the summer, moved back to Utah for Adam's last year of college. I worked as a restaurant manager at "Paradise Bakery and Cafe" for that year. Such an amazing job. The women I worked with, Holly and Becky, are AMAZING! They were so supportive! Total and complete blessings.

1 year ago:
2007-This was a wonderful year too. Adam and I started out the year in New York. We figured out a bunch of things about how the acting industry works. We had jobs in Greenwich Village and lived the total New York life. We then moved down to Florida to work on our Equity cards and become full time actors.

So far this year:
We have been getting closer and closer to our Union Memberships. We are preform in shows for children in the morning and do our Equity shows at night. We are also in the middle of trying to buy our first home. Funny thing, people don't think that acting is a stable profession so they don't want to give you money for a home. Silly Loan Officers!

Yesterday:
Adam and I got up and went to church. Unfortunately no one else was there. They moved to a new building and didn't tell us. We have to go to whatever ward meets at 9 am since we have to work at 1, so we aren't officially part of the ward. Therefore, we didn't warrant a call to be told that the new ward building was open. So we came home and did the lessons with each other. Then we had a show at 2:00 and a show at 8:00.

Today:
We woke up and went to a rehearsal for the next children's show "Seuss". We then went to Wal-Mart, worked out, went shopping for food, finished the laundry, made dinner, and then did a joint FHE with our friend Maria and her daughter. Ahhhhh, days off. Ever so relaxing!

Okay, I want to see those posts, Dawnell, Lisa and Jen!!!
