"Meme"

I love to read these little "memes", but I have never done one. I saw this one on my friend Christi's blog today so I thought it would be fun to try it out.

What I was doing 10 years ago:

1998: I was in my sophomore semester at Biola University going out of my mind taking Microbiology and awaiting an acceptance letter into the Nursing program (which I got :). I was also preparing to work at Frontier Ranch, newly hired by my future bro-in-law, Derek. Little did I know I was about to meet my future husband!

Five snacks I enjoy:

1. chocolate of any kind
2. Cafe D'Vita Mocha, but I recently had to go through detox because I was totally addicted
3. Chocolate and oats fiber 1 bars
4. cereal
5. dried fruit

Five jobs I have held:

1. I worked at Sears, my very first job.
2. Camp counselor and red hat at Frontier Ranch. Mission Springs will always hold such a special place in my heart.
3. Physical Therapy Aide - I worked at a clinic in Morgan Hill then when I moved to Sacramento I worked at a clinic for 2 years until Jaron and I moved to Watsonville. It was a great job.
4. Teacher - I taught 7th grade Life Science at Monte Vista and loved it! My first group of students will graduate from High School this year. I also taught 6th grade Earth science, Math, and Bible at Milpitas Christian School last year.
5. Pre-school aide. I took this job during our year in Simi Valley so I could be with Avery and work at the same time. I loved it because during nap time I got to read.

Five Habits:

1. I bite my nails. I really need to stop as now Avery has taken on this habit as well.
2. I have to have something warm to drink in the morning. As I mentioned, I was addicted to Mochas, but now have switched to coffee with vanilla creamer. I don't know if this is any better since I drink 2-3 cups.
3. When Riley is sleeping, I have to get real close to her face to make sure she is breathing before I can go to sleep and when she is napping I have to check on her multiple times.
4. I have to vacuum at least once a day. I love to see the fresh vacuum marks on the carpet. This is only one example of my obsessive-compulsive behavior.
5. I love to throw things away. Jaron hates this specifically because I have thrown away important things such as CPR cards and checks - yes, one for 2,000 dollars once.

Five places I have lived:

1. San Jose, Ca
2. La Mirada, Ca
3. Sacramento, Ca
4. Watsonville, Ca
5. Simi Valley, Ca
