4 things

I've been tagged by my friend, Sarah, so here goes:

4 things I was doing 10 years ago:

1. Sophomore year at SPU, Jen and I had moved across the hall from 666 to 665. Good times.

2. Switched my major from pre-physical therapy to nutrition, after finding out that there was in fact a major that included cooking food, eating food and talking about food.

3. Leading Young Life Open Door, a ministry for teens with disabilities.

4. Ordering Pizza Hut, putting it straight in our mini-fridge at lunch so we could eat it cold at dinner while watching Growing Pains on the futon.

4 things on my to-do list for today:

1. It's now 11:10 pm, so let's go with tomorrow's list......sleep in past 7 am on a saturday.

2. See a new client and get her to make a 2nd appointment with me.

3. Clean the house, does it ever end?

4. Have tons of fun with the Iyer's who are coming down for dinner!

4 random things I love about my husband:

1. He makes me a piping hot white chocolate mocha every morning. Best barista in town!

2. He won't buy anthying without a coupon or if it isn't found on Ebay. The bargain thing gets annoying at times, but has saved us oodles.

3. He's the hardest worker I know. He has a side job where he is paid hourly and let me tell you those people are getting their money's worth for an hour of Clint's work.

4. The kids adore him.

4 jobs I have had:

1. The REX center at SPU. Basically paid to do homework and rotate CD's.

2. Hostess at Anthony's restaurant after college graduation. A little embarassing, but I was biding my time before moving to Hawaii.

3. Public Health Nutritionist II, whatever that means. Traveled to WIC clinics on Oahu to provide nutrition ed to pregnant mammas.

4. Registered Dietitian, now in private practice, it's the best!

4 movies I have watched more than once:

1. Ferris Bueller's Day Off

2. While you were sleeping

3. You've got mail

4. The Secret Garden

4 places I have lived:

1. Gig Harbor

4. Fox Island

4 places I have been:

1. Desolation Sound and Gulf Islands, beautiful scenery and fresh air!

2. Kona on the Big Island, 7 going on 8 times

3. Curious George

4. Super Why (great, now the song is stuck in my head!! a-a-a, wonderific, you're terrific, a-a-a, aaaahhhhhh!!! Get out of my head now!)

4 things you may not know about me:

1. I remember everything. Don't think I'm stalking you, I just remember, ok?

2. I lit my first and only match at age 19 under extreme peer pressure on Vashon Island. I now use only the long handled thingys for lighting candles.

3. I've completed 2 half marathons, 1 triathlon, and 1 marathon in my day.

4. The sound of finger nails clicking together drives my ears nuts!!! Actually, lots of things like that drive my ears nuts, so try not to do it around me. JK.

4 people I tag:

1. Meg-0

2. Allison

3. L Sax or L Pep, you know who you are!

4. Andrea Moran - you're married now, time to start a blog!!

Happy Birthday Clint!





Clint celebrated the big 3-0 yesterday, and we had a mexican fiesta with family and friends the night before. It was a fun evening and as you can see, the kids got a little crazy as the night went on....Hmmmm, where do they get their craziness from?? I just don't know!


Pumpkin Patch





While I was busy being a bridesmaid a few weekends ago, Clint took the kids to the pumpkin patch. They had a fun time hauling pumpkins to the car in a wagon and feeding the goats.

God's Power

While driving home from preschool today, Matthew was wondering whether the giant pumpkins that sit outside of the grocery store along our drive would be on "his side". I said, no, they were on your side on the way to school, so they will be on Gracie's side on the way home. He thought for a minute, then announced, "I want God to switch the pumpkins to my side, because he has big muscles, right?" Pretty good perspective from a preschooler!
