What isn't my most embarrassing moment? I seem to have a lot of them. I used to work as the office manager for TNT Fireworks. Our regional offices were in Tacoma, WA. My boss and I had to travel there for some training on some new software the company was using. (I hadn't worked there very long at this point). We got the airport, and were going through security and I kept setting off the sensor. My boss was standing there waiting for me while I was being frisked by all the security personnel. I was standing there with my arms out and legs spread and they were feeling me up all over -- come to find out, it was the under wire on my bra...I was pretty mortified. You could totally tell that he was uncomfortable too.
What is your favorite game to play as a family?
The kids are still little enough that we get stuck playing candy land a lot, but they are starting to like yahtzee and rummikub
with friends?
we LOVE game nights. Apples to apples, Oodles of Doodles, Would You Rather, Balderdash, Ticket to Ride, Mad Gab, -- anything...we are big game players.
If you have to choose a movie title for your life story, what would that be?
I LOVE the movie Hope Floats and I relate a lot of my life there. I like to think that through everything, I still have a glimmer of hope out there.
What really gives you the creeps?
I am totally freaked out by spiders. There was one on our kitchen counter a few years ago, and I called Ron in hysterics, and crying telling him to come home and kill it. I am also really creeped out by scary stories that are real. Like peeping toms...stuff like that. once, when I was in 9th grade, I was at the high school running around the track (something I liked to do a few times a week). It was a Saturday and there was just me and one other woman. I looked over in the corner and saw some nasty guy with a ski mask jerkin' off in the corner - eww. The woman left and so I did too. I told my dad and he wigged out - we never found him. No wonder I don't run anymore and got fat...sheesh! LOL - now that was creepy!
What is your biggest accomplishment?
This one is kinda hard. I would say my kids, but you never really finish with them so you don't really accomplish them, do you? LOL -- I don't think I really have one -- sorry to disappoint you.
What project are you working on right now? (pic would be great!)
I have also been busy doing wedding announcements and graduation announcements.
What is your biggest dream for your future?
I would love to get the non-profit up and running. I've also always wanted to be a teacher, so I'd love to finish school and work as a teacher.
I want to know where you met your husband.
Ron and I met via the world wide web. It's a long story - but once upon a time I was looking for a friend from high school. Someone told me that she was on match.com so I created a profile so I could find her. I never did find her. A few months went by and I had completely forgotten about that profile. I started getting these weird emails from guys that wanted to get to know me and then I remembered - A couple of years later, Ron emailed me and wanted to get to know me. At the time, he did side work as the DJ for the Grizzlies hockey team so he told me to bring a friend and come to the game and we would meet. So I took Jill to the game and we met. I thought he was cute, but I wasn't totally taken over. He was really shy and I was kinda bugged with that. After the game, we went to Applebee's and he and Jill were talking a lot and I thought he was totally into her. But then Jill had to go - so she just left me and him and so I wanted to go home too since I thought he liked her. I told her that if he wanted, I would give him her phone number. He was like "oooh, um, no - that's okay." I thought - 'whatever.' He called me the next day - I was moving to a new place and offered his truck and muscles to help me. I agreed and the rest is history. We didn't spend even one day apart till about a year into our marriage when I had to travel for work.
What's your favorite color?
I love purple and green - but not necessarily together...
How about your favorite dessert?
wow -- this would be a lot easier to answer if it were in a category;
cake: chocolate rum
candy: skittles/m&m's
candy bar: Reese's
pie: key lime, pumpkin, lemon meringue
kids: dirt cups
cookies: chocolate chip, Girl Scout (any kind)
general: strawberry shortcake, apple cobbler
you can't tell that I love dessert (aka: SUGAR), right?
If you had to move out of state where would you want to live?
Wow -- this is tricky. I went to elementary in AZ, so I would love to go back there. I would also love San Diego - close to the beach and perfect temp year round.
Something that drives you crazy?
repetitive noises - like a ticking clock, or tapping sound, especially while I'm trying to sleep. That's enough to drive me to the funny farm! I moved out of an apartment once because the pipes sounded like they were ticking and I couldn't take it!
What got you started in photography?
I got my first camera when I was like 7 or 8. It was the ONLY thing I wanted for Christmas and I was so happy to get it. I used that sucker forever! In high school, I took a photography class and LOVED it. Then I kinda dropped the idea for a while. After the kids were born, I became obsessed again with capturing every little thing they did. I prefer both 'lifestyle' pictures, and I also love a good posed family shot.
Where did you go to high school?
I went to Bingham High School in South Jordan. Loved the Miners. My high school sweetheart/crush played football so I was always stalking him at the Friday night games. he he he
Have you ever lived outside of the state of Utah? If so, where?
I have lived in Arizona and Colorado as a kid. I LOVED AZ - wouldn't mind moving back....
What is your favorite childhood memory?
- WOW -- I tried to block as much of that out as possible...ha ha ha ha! I think it depends on the day for me on what is my favorite memory....like if I'm in a sentimental mood I think about my Grandpa and all the tickle fests we had before he died. Or if I'm in a fun mood, I think about all the slip'n'slide days on the lawn in AZ. I think my fondest memories are just summer playing in the neighborhood - riding bikes - that sort of thing.
What is the craziest thing you've done? (try to beat Brie on that one, I dare you!!)
- I don't think there's beating Brie on that....LOL! I have done LOTS of crazy things - I was the queen of spontaneity in high school. Most of my 'crazy' days consist of draggin' State Street...
What is your favorite way you like to relax?
I love a QUIET house! I love when Ron takes the kids out to give me a break and I can just do what I want. I read, catch up on stuff, nap, whatever. I just love it when it's quiet. I also really enjoy going with friends to get a pedicure. My friends really relax me and I love forgetting about everything and just having fun. Who wants to go get a pedi?? ;)
What is your favorite season and why?
I LOVE fall! The weather is perfect, the colors are gorgeous, school starts, Halloween is my favorite holiday - followed by Thanksgiving. I wish I could have a year-round fall residence.
Random
1. I HAVE to have the toilet paper hanging over the top - I can't stand it being pulled from the bottom.
2. I can't sleep without reading something in bed (book, magazine), Otherwise I just lay in bed for hours. It's a bad habit/addiction
3. I can't stand to wear 'just socks.' I always have to have either shoes on, or bare feet.
4. My all time favorite TV shows are: Lost, Law & Order, CSI, Desperate Housewives
5. I once lost my ring in the water at Lake Powell -- and FOUND IT! It was a miracle!
I am going to glitter - JULIE~

What is your least favorite chore?
If you could wear only one color for the rest of your life, what color would you chose?
Name one character trait you despise...
So fun Celeste! By the way I love your new web page for your photography... The picture of the cute little boy with the glasses just melts your heart doesn't it. I had a very similiar peeping tom story too. The scary thing was I was all by my self at the park. I was just reading a book on a blanket and looked up and he was yep jackin' off watching me. I ran so fast! When I turned around to see if he was following me he was no where to be found. When I got to my car I was shaking trying to get the keys in the door, thinking he was going to snag me. I never saw him again, and I don't think he got caught either...
