26 days!

I have 26 school days left, and then I will be done with my first year of teaching!! Hallelujah! I can not wait. 7th grade b-ball is going to be over this coming Tuesday!! I am ready to be done! I met with my principle on Friday for my last formal evaluation. He is very pleased with my efforts and skills in the classroom. He complimented me on my calm nature, confidence, and rapport with the students. Needless to say I felt energized and ready to take on 26 more days with my 8th graders!! It is amazing what a few kind words can do!

Last weekend David and I finally decorated our apartment! It looks so much better. We still have work to do, but it is getting there. We now have a real desk, and not just a pop up table. We are still working on getting a tv! Someday we will have one!

Life is good, and summer is around the corner!

Holy Cow it's been a while since I last wrote anything!

Hey Guys! It's David here, I was just noticing that it sure has been awhile since I last wrote...so here goes! Well since th etopic of food storage is such a popular one these days I thought I would post a picture of our awesome food storage start up :O) this is a picture of what used to be our hallway :PFYI those are twinkies

that's about 1200 boxes of golden cakey creamy goodness, it should last until the millennium...what, with all the preservative in them :O)

And here is our 72 hour kits :O)yep...that's all I need If I'm stuck in our apartment for 3 days... :P

And here is our lastest project that we've been working on, in what little downtime we do have:

it's just a little addition to the old homestead :O) -Should be ready around 2012

So yeah...we've been a little busy, but we manage to find time between school, and work, and church.

Now on to real news!

My sister Danielle finally came home from her mission! YEA! She is almost completely normal again :) She speaks spanish now, which is weird, I find myself wanting to call her and ask her to trim our bushes...ok that might be a low class joke, but I couldn't help it!

Oh and I totally Aced my Politcal Science test! for everyone who did know (which is everyone) I totaly bombed my last Poli-Sci test -69.5%!!!! OUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (in my defense i also had mono when he was going over the material for that test!)
BUT! on this last test I got a 91% talk about an improvement! which brings my final GPA right now to about a 3.7 -so yeah I'm pretty happy about that!

Oh and the Office started back up this week -Sometimes God does answer unimportant prayers lol-

Oh and here is our garden...it has watermelon, basil, oregano, cilantro, serrano peppers, green bell peppers, tomatoes, chives, onions, and some flowers...We are testing to see if we havea green thumb...pray for us!
