My Sister-in-law, JeNeale tagged me, so here goes...
10 Years Ago:
1998: Cash and I had been married two years and we were at Idaho State in Pocatello, ID and we were living in our funky apartment in the blue house and we loved that place. I was working as a secretary at ISU and starting the last year of my bachelors. Cash was working at an eye glass place and had a really long, nasty goatee. We played lots of pinochle until the wee hours of the morning with our friends Chad and Lataun. It was also a tumultuous year: I was called as RS President in our student ward, I had my first miscarriage while on vacation (with Chad and Lataun) and my mom went into the hospital later that year.
Things on my to-do list Today:
1. Well, it's 11:30 p.m. and so, I'm going to pretend like it's been 30 minutes and it's tomorrow...a Sunday.
2. Go to Ward Council Meeting (oh, I must remember to set out church clothes after this because that means Cash is in charge of getting the kids ready...)
3. Try to keep the kids quiet and reverent for 1 hour and 10 minutes.
4. Hand out brand new Visiting Teaching Districts...ughhh.
5. Quick after-church-lunch of spicy ramen (the boys) and black noodles (the girls) while reading the Sunday paper. :)
6. RS meeting with the new Stake RS Presidency.
7. Some sort of dinner.
8. Treats at our house with birthday cake and ice cream for Emmett Cash.
9. Bed!!!!
What would I do if I suddenly became a Billionaire:
1. Is there any way to get out of paying taxes on it????
2. Ok, it looks like we all think alike...Pay off all houses and student loans for my family and Cash's family.
3. Buy Cash a major league baseball team and name a minor league baseball stadium after him.
4. Set up an endowed chair for Cash: The Gregory Cash Hill Professor of Public Administration, at Texas A&M.
5. Build a really beautiful library with a huge, kid-friendly reading area for kids and tons of kids books and name it after my mom.
6. Go on a service mission with Cash.
7. Take my kids to Korea.
8. Build huge cabins scattered in different states so that everyone could get together and play.
9. Pay a guy to put in Mom Hill's light fixtures. ;)
3 Bad Habits:
1. Diet Coke...occasionally Diet Coke before noon
2. Being impatient with my kids
3. I don't necessarily think it's a bad habit, but Cash's number 1 pet-peeve: peeing with the door open
Lucky for you, I can only list 3...I could go on and on...
3 Places I've Lived:
1. Out of the country: South Korea and Venezuela
2. American Fork, Utah
3. Texas: Longview and College Station
5 Jobs I've Had:
1. Oriental Express (the best mall food. ever.)
2. Bodacious BBQ (my smelliest job. ever.)
3. Secretary for a property management company
4. When we were first married I sold phone cards door to door and business to business and it was awful. But, I never complained because Cash was cleaning toilets for Varsity Contractors.
5. Teacher
5 Things people don't know about me:
1. I am sweaty-palms-bad-dreams scared of overpasses/underpasses and bugs.
2. In high school I was a synchronized swimmer, complete with the sequined wrist and ankle bands. Yes, it was sexy. It gets chalked up there with my other short-lived career as a clogger.
3. I competed in the Ricks College Homecoming Pageant.
4. I often read the ending of books before I start (in essence, I don't like surprises...and I can't keep a surprise very well either).
5. I love grasshopper cookies, sour cream and onion Pringles, garlic, sugar snap peas, and black beans.
OK, all you who read (yes, you!) who have not been tagged...YOU'RE IT!! Alisa, Katie, Kate, Emily, Tricia, Rhi, Lataun, Jenny, Melvin ladies...
Cash, though you resist blogging, you have to at least put your answers in a comment.

Yeah! I love reading about my sisters-in-law, and I'm proud to say that I knew most of the things you wrote, though not all. Ricks Homecoming Pageant? Wow. I've always told you you were the sexiest one in the family!
I'm with you on #9! Someone could make alot of money putting those light fixtures up.
Bob is thrilled about the A&M/BYU game... he loves giving his BYU friends a hard time. he'll have to eat crow right along with Cash if we lose!! :)
Your tag was pretty fun to read!!! You are a pretty cool person!!! Of course I knew that before...duh!!!
When you figure out to get the perfect boiled eggs let me know. We did some last night for FHE and I think that 3 or 4 of them cracked and so we didn't have as many eggs to color as the kiddos would have liked. Gig'em on Thursday and I am hoping we beat BYU since so many of our friends are giving me a hard time.
Wow, I never pictured you as a synchronized swimmer! Awesom!!! Yeah, so the backgrounds, go to pyzam.com they have a bazillion to choose from, the only thing...make sure you remember what page elements you had because it erases all of those except for the 'all about me' and the blog history or whatever it's called. They also have fonts and stuff to play with too!
