1. What was I doing 10 years ago?

I was living in the house of my step-grandparents. My mom and Tom had just gotten married, and there was drama with the new house and the tenants not leaving, so we were living with them while it all got sorted out. It was fun. We would swim in the pool in the back and hang out with the cousins who were close. I remember Little Mike teaching Emily and I how to talk like new Yorkers, and batting at fireflies with a bat. It was also the short time we had to spend with Grandpa Ciccotelli before he died later that summer. I remember the time with fondness.

4. Things I would do if I were a billionaire:

I don't really like to think about this. Though I would not mind having more money than I have, I don't think I would do well with being rich. I guess I'd like to donate a lot of it, and buy lots of land, build a community greenhouse, and have an indoor swimming pool at my house.

9. 6 Random Things:

1. My sister and I have aspirations to own a cow, and I would like to make homemade cheese with the milk from that cow.

2. In Middle School, I used to eat potato chips, animal crackers, and a coke or mountain dew for lunch. This compared to my preferred fare of nowadays of fruits, veggies, and good bread with yummy cheese.

3. My freshman year of college, Janardan and I went on a bus trip (where we just get on a random bus and let it ride us off), and missed the last bus back to Provo, because I had left my purse at the church we had found. We had apparently gone to Springville, and walked the entire 9 miles home.

4. When I was probably around 4, my best friend Whitney was over, and I was changing my clothes. I had taken off my shirt, and was just going around without putting a new shirt on. She said, "Jennie, if you don't put a shirt on, you'll turn into a boy." For some reason, her saying that has just always stuck with me.

5. My roommate and I once started an elevator club. We would do our homework and play games in the elevator, and then do weird pranks with people on the elevator. It was a fun, if short lived, club.

6. I tore my ACL in 8th grade fighting for a rebound with a guy who was probably at least 8" taller than me. In that same era of me playing ball with the older guys. One night I blocked two shots of a guy who was probably 9-10" taller than me. I miss playing basketball.
