Happy Birthday Millena Marler!!


Name: Millena MarlerStudent’s Name: Tyler MarlerStudent’s Graduation Year: Biomed 2014Your Birthday: March 27Blog: justonceuponeternity.blogspot.com


-Tell us a little bit about yourself:
I am a busy mother of 2. I love all things pertaining to music, food, and exercise. I aspire to be crafty and creative, however the role of motherhood has created a pause in developing those qualities I would like to achieve. Recently I went through a try to make my favorite recipes healthier quick, which created several unfortunate creations in my kitchen. Until I get the hang of the ALL healthy eating, I will continue to cook my recipes the same. Apart from mothering and the little time of sanity I give myself through exercise, I enjoy playing the piano and singing. You can always know if I am in a good mood if I am humming or singing a song. 
*How did you and your significant other meet? Tyler and I met at a Memorial Day BBQ at a mutual friend's home. We were drawn to each other immediately upon meeting one another as we spent the evening talking about primarily Tyler's life and experiences he had as he served a Latter-Day-Saint Mission to Florida and the Bahamas. It made for an incredibly interesting evening filled with hurricanes and the clean up and of course the stories of people who were met.  My favorite thing about Tyler when I first met him was how passionate he was about his mission. No other boy I dated who had served seemed as interested in sharing the details as Tyler was. 
*If you could go anywhere in the world, where would it be? Right now in the middle of a snowstorm, I would like to be somewhere tropical and exotic. I would prefer to go somewhere I haven't been before. The place that comes to mind is Patong Beach in Thailand. You have all probably seen the picture of the huts on the water? Yeah, that is where I would LOVE to be right now. One day, I would like to travel the world and visit each continent and be able to experience that cultures that each has to offer.
*What was the best job you ever had? My first job, though the least paying job, was the BEST job I ever had. I worked at Cold Stone Creamery. I loved being able to work with ice cream and interact with people all day. Ice cream and customers who love ice cream, what is not to love? The fact we got to munch on all the toppings and the ice cream as we worked was also a huge plus. Our managers were pretty cool in that they allowed us to take home our latest inventions and have our families test taste them. It made for some interesting combinations.
*What is your favorite season and why? What I love most about seasons is the transition that occurs from one season to another. The transition from winter to spring with the blooms blossoming on the trees and the tulips popping up out of the ground and the smell of rain is beautiful. The transition from spring to summer where the leaves of the trees are in full bloom and provide ample shade from the warm sun that is not too hot yet. The transition from summer to fall as the leaves turn from green to red, orange, and gold is incredible. The transition from fall to winter isn't as dramatic, however the first snow of the season is magical and pure.
