Husband Tag Completed!

10 years ago:
Ten years ago I was a little freshman in college at SUU, having the time of my pre-mission life! I was roommates with Russell "The Love Muscle" Thompson. We lived at the Village Apartments, yes the dump at the south end of Cedar. My life was consumed with pretty much nothing but Acclamation. School was kind of pointless. I had my mission call to Peru already and SUU was on quarters and most of the classes that I took didn't transfer over to semester hours anyway. So I made the most of my time singing, dancing, making many trips to Vegas, hitting the buffets and so on! This was a very important time in my life. It was my first year away from home, I made some of the best friends I will ever have, and memories that I will never forget.

5 things on my list today:
1. Well I can cross off Husband tag!
2. Change the oil in the Durango, it's way over due.
3. Register Oaklyn for preschool! That's scary
4. Put my laundry away.
5. Wash the cars... oh wait it snowed again!

What would I do if I became a millionaire:
Of course the first thing I would do is buy my wonderful wife her dream house in St. George. (I would be in trouble if that wasn't #1) Then I would buy a boat, and of course a new Dodge Ram to pull it. I sold mine and it's been a sad day ever since, but not on my wallet! Then I would retire my parents and in laws. Probably take the whole fam on a cruise around the world, ya know the ones that leave in January and get back the end of April! Who knows after that, probably invest it in something.

5 jobs I've had:
1. Property maintenance manager
2. Home Depot inventory manager/plumbing associate
3. Server at Boomers
4. HVAC contractor
5. Paper Boy

5 Things that people don't know about me:
1. I proposed to my wife in front of about 500 people. I sang to her while emceeing a pageant.
2. I have been sky diving. Not tandem, I jumped alone from 12,000 feet. Everyone should experience this at least once.
3. I was on Acclamation for two years. For some reason this surprises people.
4. I snore louder than a BEAR. Only my wife and a select few have experienced this!
5. My brother in law Phil got me addicted to duck hunting! This drives my wife crazy.



What snacks do I enjoy:
I am complete opposite from my wife on this one. I love sweets, chocolate, ice cream etc. A nice creme brulee will do just fine. Growing up with Lion House desserts will do that to you, thanks Mom!



3 bad habits:
1. I hate putting away the laundry, hence on my "to do list". I really don't mind washing it and drying it, but when it comes out of the dryer it turns into my worst enemy.
2. This one could go either way but since it consumes almost my whole Saturdays... I love to wash my cars. Not just wash, detail inside and out, polish tires and rims, the works. It also drives Brooke crazy!
3. I am very rude sometimes to sales people and servers when I don't agree with something or it doesn't make sense to ME. I will catch myself saying things to them like "are you kidding me" and "that's the dumbest thing I've ever heard".

6 places I've lived:
1. Murray (the Zion of Northern Utah)
2. Cedar City
3. Peru
4. Cedar City
5. Murray
6. Cedar City (in that order, kind of boring)

Thanks Brooke for making me fill this out, it was actually kind of fun! I husband tag: Brian Dalley, Chris U., Mike U., and Jordon!
