I Got Tagged

Greta tagged Chris with this game of numbers and Chris in turn tagged me. So here I go:

10 years ago: I was a dork in High School. I lived in Sidney, Iowa which is a very small town whose only claim to fame is the largest outdoor rodeo in the state held there every summer. I spent most of my time being a stupid kid, playing football, and wishing I was somewhere else.

5 years ago: I was still a stupid kid in some ways, but now I was in the U.S. Army stationed at Ft. Stewart, GA. My wife was pregnant with our first son and we were barely making it because neither of us really knew what we were doing out on our own in the world. We got a crash course in life.

1 year ago: I was just out of the Army. We moved back to Iowa and I took a crappy job. We moved into a crappy rental house that we are finally planning to move out of.

1 day ago: Was my wife's first day working for the State of Iowa where she now makes more money than I do for the first time since we have been married. I was training a new guy at work and recovering from a hangover from the night before because I foolishly let myself get talked into going out to the bar after work.

5 Favorite Snacks: Tough one, but here some things I like-
pie, especially cherry and apple. I like pie. Pie is good.
salt and vinegar chips, there's a brand I can't find here in Iowa called Tom's. They were the best.
sandwiches, especially roast beef. Or I just eat luchmeat on its own, its all good.
red diamond sweet tea. I'm addicted.
fudge bars. I can eat 'em by the box, so I try not to buy them.

5 Songs I know the words to:
name (googoo dolls)
love me when I'm gone (3doors down)
you shook me all night long (ac/dc)
one headlight (wallflowers)
red, white, and blue (Toby Keith)

invest and turn into 5 billion dollars
run for president and win

give it all away after securing comfortable lifestyle for my family and friends.
(who wants a new house!)

5 Places I would escape to for a while:
Hawaii, because my wife is Hawaiian.
I'd visit places I was stationed while I was in the Army like S. Korea and Iraq.
