Time out of school

So here's what's been going on the last couple weeks.


Well work has been great. Not to busy and not to slow. I started a third job as a tutor for a kid who does well in swim and loves triathlons but hates school. It's been a challenge but fun because I adore his family. I have known the Bowcuts for years. Orri and Ashly are still in Nebraska but they find out at the end of this month if Orri will continue on in the military or if they will be getting out and moving somewhere new. Fingers crossed for them. Mom is doing better and still taking care of Briana and Brandon.

We had a wonderful Christmas with the four of us. I'm pretty sure Bri got lots of clothes. What more could a girl ask for right. :) She is 16 and has her drivers permit. Brandon is 17 almost 18. They are getting so old. My mom has done a fantastic job with them.

As for me I just returned from a wonderful trip to Cali and Las Vegas. Pictures will be up shortly to show for it. Now I am getting ready for my 24 birthday and the next adventure. I have made a goal for the new year to go to two new cities in the US and one place outside of the US. I'm hoping to stick to it. That doesn't mean I won't be going to old favorites as well. I am starting to apply for teaching jobs now. So if anyone knows of Chemistry teaching jobs let me know, doesn't matter what state they are in.

Time is flying by after graduating in April. I'm hoping the winter months go by quickly. We have had both my mom's car and my car break down many times this winter already and it just started. I'm thinking of buying a new car but it's such a big commitment. Kind of like a boyfriend. Just kidding.

What's going on now?

Well I just work two jobs right now. One is doing research at BYU. It's a lot of fun and keeps me busy. Then I work at an Orthopedics office. Both are super fun. I'm excited for Halloween. I already know what I am going to be but it's a surprise. Softball is over but now I'm going to be on a flag football team. So excited for that. It's close to the holidays and I'm getting super excited.

What's been going on!

Well life has been a little crazy and hectic these days. I moved last month to Sugarhouse to 4 new roommates that I had never met before but are wonderful. I couldn't have picked a better place to live. Last month I was on my ward softball team and we won our championship game that was totally loaded on the other team. So rewarding. It's been crazy in the last month moving, celebrating so many September birthdays and working while being with the familia and friends. Brandon my lil bro is doing so great right now. It's fun to see him and the drive to Mt. Pleasant isn't so bad either. I love fall colors. My mom is making lots of jewelry for me and is deciding to sale it. Bri my lil sis is loving high school and getting excited for school dances and all that jazz. I commute to Provo monday-friday each week. Don't worry the bus is a nice break from driving even though it takes me almost 2 hours each way. :0) But what can you do. So two weeks ago I got to go to the zoo with Kristi, Todd, Ciara, Cory and of course I brought a date. It was so much fun. I loved the new baby additions to the zoo. You really should go if you haven't already. Just getting ready for the upcoming h0lidays and snow. Ugh not excited for that just yet.

Student Teaching-The last day

I finished student teaching today. I am super sad because I am not teaching my students anymore. They are my students. I had to sit there and watch Miss Wentz today and it was so hard not to get up and teach the kids myself. I will miss them all. Even when they don't do the work and get me a little flustered.

Student Teaching

Right now I am in the middle of student teaching at Lone Peak High School in Chemistry. My mentoring teacher is Miss. Rachel Wentz. It has been an interesting experience. I've had kisses blown at me, I love you's, nice handwriting, she doesn't know what she's talking about, why should we listen to you, where are you from, do you have a boyfriend, are you married. But the best thing is that most of them do not even want to study or try chemistry. They wanted labs but then they didn't want to do the work from them. It's amazing. I love every minute of it.

Also I find out March 10th if I got the job with Teach For America and if I did I find out where I will be living for the next two years. I really hope that I got the job.

Halloween

Yes I know this may be a little late but Halloween was a lot of fun. Seana, Lyndi and I went up to Lyndi's brothers house for a party then Lyndi and I made the trek to Salt Lake. We were up real late that night. Driving back wasn't too bad until Lyndi and I split up and then I drove home alone. Gosh even though Salt Lake to Provo isn't that far you'd be suprised how tired you can get.

Rachel left us all.

Well this past summer Rachel left us all to go on a mission in Puerto Rico. I just got a letter and she is loving it, even though they kiss everyone on the cheek even if they are hot and sweaty. She left the day todd(her twin) came home from his mission so we got to be her family for the day.

What an experience the Mtc is when you are dropping off. The spirit is so intense and emotions are flying. Rachel was strong as an ox and didn't shed a tear. Ciara and me on the other hand might have shed one.
