5 Lives

I saw this on a friend's blog and thought it sounded fun. It took me a while to finally do it, but here it is!

If you could live any 5 lives other than your own what would they be?

1. I would be an architect. When I was younger I used to save my money to buy books from Waldenbooks that were full of floor plans. I would look at them for hours, and mark my favorites. Eventually I decided I wanted to major in something I could actually use after getting my bachelor's degree, so I didn't pursue it, but I still love walking through model homes and looking online at builder's floorplans here in Vegas.

2. I would be a cook. I took a cooking class at BYU b/c I decided it was about time I figured out what the heck I was doing, and now I watch Rachael Ray every day and have a huge list of recipes I want to try. I feel confident enough now to experiment with new recipes and sometimes create my own. I could do without the dishes, though! Even right now, I have a yummy pork cider stew in the crockpot, and even though the countertops are covered in mess, I'd rather blog than go clean it up!

3. I would be a photographer. I would love to take a class on photography and learn all about it and how to get the right lighting, angles, and all the other mumbo jumbo.

4. I would be more musically talented. I played the French Horn all through high school, so I can read music well and know what is supposed to happen, but I wish I was a better/more confident singer and could at least play the hymns on the piano.

5. I would be better at sewing, quilting, and any & all other crafts. I can do some basic stuff, and I really enjoy any and all things crafty, but I have a hard time keeping up the patience to finish. I can't stand having a project halfway done, and I also can't stand the mess (which is why I don't scrapbook). Jayden and I will be visiting Jill soon while Nate is away, and we're going to make Jayden a quilt! I am extremely excited! I guess I need to get over myself and deal with my anti-mess annoyance! I'll be sure to post pictures as we get going on his quilt!

Anyway, that's who I would be, who would you be?

i wish i could play the piano, i took when i was very little but quit! digital scrapbooking or blogging is so much easier than regular scrapbooking and you can't do that with little ones! can't wait to see the quilt!
