Weekend Happenings




Well, we had a busy weekend. On Friday, Ryan went to the basketball game with my family while my mom and I went shopping for the baby shower. We were up until 11pm making muffins for the morning. That night, my parents and brothers stayed the night at our house. On Saturday, we had the baby shower in the morning. It was a lot of fun to see some family and talk about my niece who will be here in less than a month. Then we watched the BYU and Utah game, which did not having a ending that we were hoping for. BYU did not play their best and lost the game. On Sunday, we got out the Christmas decorations. Vanessa said that she had hers out so that made me want to get mine out. Ryan helped me glue the pieces that needed to be fixed. I have a Christmas village that I have never put up because I have never had my own place.
This will be a short week with only two days of school. We are looking forward to the break and to spend time with our family. I hope that everyone enjoys the holiday. Happy Thanksgiving.

Half way through the month

Well, life is moving right along. I had my students program last night. They did a really good job and the parents really enjoyed it. The kids had to dance with each other and even after all the complaints about it, they really enjoyed themselves. I am definitely ready for the break. It has a been a hard month so far and I have not been in the best mood over the last couple of weeks. I have had parent problems and students problems this month.
Anyway, Ryan and I are doing fine. Ryan has finished one class and only has a project left for it. He will finish another class on Saturday when he takes the final. We are heading to my parents house after Ryan's final to watch the BYU football game and finish planning Vanessa's baby shower.

New Month

I cannot believe how fast this year has gone. Thanksgiving is only 3 weeks away and then it will be Christmas time. It has turn cold here and it was snowing a bit yesterday morning. Here is my story of my first car accident: I was hit from behind by a police car from the city of Orem which was being driver by a city worker. His pickup was fine but the civic is a little bit smashed on the driver's back side. Let's say that it was not a great way to start my Wednesday morning. I was not hurt but I was shook up for most of the day. My days have been busy with work. We are having our 4th grade program next week. I am the loudest of the teachers in the 4th grade so I do most of the talking to the students. I guess that I can brag out myself, this month I was voted employee of the month for October. It was a nice surprise.
Ryan has only 5 weeks until finals start. So he is very busy with work and school. Life is moving right along and we excited for the break coming up.
