Tag--I'm It!!!

1. Best thing you cooked last week:

I would have to say that the best thing I cooked last week was on Sunday when I cooked roast, potatoes and carrots, and made a fruit salad and jello for when everybody came home. It was delicious!! :)

2. If money, time and babysitting were no object, where would you go and what would you do?

Well, at least one of those can be x-ed out, since I don't have any kids for which to need babysitters, haha. :) If I could go anywhere and do anything, I think I would choose to go somewhere along the Atlantic ocean and just relax on the beach with my body soaking up WARM sun rays! I probably would choose Leah Blake and Taylor Bluth to go with, since we all know that Melissa is most definitely single. :)

3. When was the last time you cried?

I always think that questions like this are kinda strange, cause you never know if the question means a lot of crying, or just a little bit. Probably the last time I really cried was when Aaron died when I was 15.

4. Five things you were doing 10 years ago:

Um.........that is a really, really good question! I got the not-so-good end of the gene pool when it comes to remembering things...hence the reason Momma and I always joke that if you put our two low-memory brains together, you just might get a whole brain, and we just might remember what it is we're supposed to remember, lol. However, how old was I even 10 years ago? Um, let's see...I guess I was about 8 1/2, so I had just gotten baptized, and was therefore also going into a new school called McCoy Elementary (where, by the way, I got lost my first day trying to go to the restroom and back to my classroom...another thing I didn't get good on...I'm seriously directionally challenged).I don't remember much else, because, well--geez! I can't even remember what I'm doing from second to second, or even what I'm saying sometimes! never mind 10 years ago!! :( Oh well.

5.Five things you were doing 5 years ago:

Okay, I might be a little better at remembering here. :) (Hopefully, lol.) Let's see, so this would be freshman year of high school...hmm. Well, I suppose the biggest thing of the year besides going to high school for the first time EVER, would be my appendicitis. I had to have surgery...YIKES!!! Also, I had just begun high school band, and begun playing the flute for the first time. Also, I had stopped piano lessons, which is something I had been doing for SEVEN YEARS!!! But, I also was doing club swimming, swimming for school, lots of hard classes, and marching band to boot, so I didn't have time to continue on in lessons. :(

6. Five things you were doing 1 year ago:

Well, this will probably be even easier!! :) So, it was my senior year of high school, and I kept thinking, this is the last time I'll ever march a band show again, this is the last time I'll go to Homecoming again, this is the last time, this is the last time...you get the point. It was an exciting year, but a sorta sad one too. I was the lead oboe player in my section in band, I was swimming my heart out for my last year of high school swimming, and I was DIVING too!!! :) I do miss diving, that was really fun!I was also applying to BYU, and BYU-Idaho trying to get in to college. Also, I was getting to spend TONS of time with my best friends Leah and Taylor every day at school at lunch. And, I also went toPROM!!! It was so fun!

7. Seven of your favorite hobbies:

Reading has DEFINITELY got to be in there, and also swimming, for sure. I also like to paint figurines on occasion, and if I'm in the mood I like to cross-stitch or make hats, (as in the kind that you wear up here in Idaho since you're cold) :) and I like to spend time with children, friends, and family. :) I do have to say I also enjoy playing the piano, whether for church, or for myself or my family and friends. :)

8. Five favorite foods:

*PANCAKES!!!!! :) yummmmmm!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
*French bread
*Brownies
*Cookies
*Garlic Bread!! (I just had to add that one, even if it does drive away company who don't like smelling bad breath, lol) :)

9. Five places you've been:

Um...let's see here...I've been to Adam-ondi-ahman, I've been to Nauvoo, I've been to the Gateway Arch (I've been up IN the Gateway Arch). Also, I've been to Florida, North Carolina, and Washington!!! :) (Sorry, I know that's more than five, I just couldn't help myself once I got on a roll...haha.)

10. Five favorite memories:

Well, one would have to be when I got baptized by flashlight (not too many people can claim THAT one, lol). Also, I always loved daddy-daughter days, and I would have to say that when I was little, riding horses, and helping daddy drive the car (aka steering the wheel) would have to be pretty high up there in my favorite memories. I also loved the summer that Momma and I lazied around and read the Chronicles of Narnia. :) One of the neatest memories also is of watching the snow come down so thick up here like I couldn't believe, and watching it carpet the ground. :) My next favorite memory will be when I finally get to come home for Christmas, and see my family, and Leah and Taylor again!!! :) I miss all of you guys SOOOOO much and am excited to be seeing you again soon!!!!!!!!!

Well, looks like that's all! I hope that you enjoyed hearing about me! :)
