SuMmeR TiMe!!

Wow! I can not believe this day has come! I am sitting at home on a Thursday morning! It is a fabulous feeling being done with school. Last night as I went to bed I literally could breath deeper. I never realize how much I thought about my classes/students. I am very elated to be done! I have big plans for the summer - paint my ugly wall, read Rough Stone Rolling, exercise, scrapbook, camp, get a nice tan, and relax and not think about school for at least 2 whole months. It is times like these that I love being a teacher!

Burley

this weekend in Burley has be eventful. Saturday we helped Mom and Keith plant 6 fruit trees. David mowed the lawn. We took a 3 hour break to nap and relax, then we went to Durfee's Hot Springs. Mom, David, and I participated in a few competive events such as who can hold their breath the longest, and handstands! After the hot springs, we ate at Almo outpost. Keith knew about everyone that came into the resturant. :) We went home via way of the City of Rocks. Every time I go to the City of Rocks I am still in awe of the place! It is so amazing. We definatly going back to camp! 7 more days of school!

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!

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!)
