After Ralphie was so generous as to "tag" me last week, I have taken a few moments to record my innermost feelings and thoughts.
What I Was Doing Ten Years Ago
Hmmm. Let's see, in Oct. 1997 I was fully immersed in my first semester of the nursing program at Ricks College. I was experiencing roommates for the first time and probably still a little homesick.
What I Was Doing Five Years Ago
Ok, so in Oct. 2002 I was living in Nauvoo, IL. I was attending a semester at BYU Nauvoo and loving every minute of my experience. That little town has such a spirit and is a beautiful place. I lived with 120 other college students in a totally ghetto old Catholic school across the street from the Nauvoo Temple. It was literally less than 200 steps from my bedroom door to the front of the Temple. We traveled to all the Church History sites from Palmyra to Winter Quarters. What fun memories!
One Year Ago
Last year I was pregnant with our little Katers. I was still working full time and wrestling a two-year-old so I was pretty tired. I look back at pictures of that time and think, "That girl looks like she needs a makeover and a nap." Sadly, the same thought still applies to me and I am no longer pregnant. Oh well.
Yesterday
Yesterday I got up, worked out, took a shower... you know, the usual. I caught a delicious bass for lunch - actually it was just pork chops and cabbage - a delectable meal that even Carter enjoys. Then I did the dishes and went to work. At work I did a delivery or two and then helped move stuff over to our new unit which we are getting ready to open next week. Not my idea of fun but whatever, I was getting paid to do it. Then I came home and fell into bed. What an exciting day eh? I hope you are not asleep just ready about it.
Five Snacks I Enjoy
This one is hard as I enjoy pretty much all food but here goes:
1. Wheat Thins and a string cheese
2. Kashi granola bars - delicious and healthy

Thanks for the peek into Wendi's daily life. I remember that the first few months after you left nursing school. I was heart broken. Then you came home to visit and it was like Christmas! Wait, it WAS Christmas.
Anyway, I still feel that way. Miss you and love looking forward to seeing you.
What I Was Doing Ten Years Ago:
In October 1997, I had just arrived in the Philippines and was marveling at their preparation for All Saints Day. I had been there only a few weeks and was rather lost and homesick as well.
What I Was Doing Five Years Ago:
It was October 2002, I had moved back home because I had no money after I needed to have my appendix out. I was just going to school. I think I was still working at what was then Hyclone labs.
