For the last month I have been paying to work at a Junior High School doing whatever the school wants me to do. I am a student teacher who spends half of the day in a history class and half of the day in a P.E. class. I thought going into this that I would enjoy the P.E. more than the History class, but on the other hand I really do enjoy the History class more. Maybe it is because they are in seventh grade or maybe they are still adjusting to Junior High, but my history students are really good. They for the most part the students do what they are suppose to and are well behaved. I teach seventh graders Utah Studies, this is basically a Utah History class and I have lived in Utah for a little more than a month. I am spending extra time after school working as the Assistant Girls Soccer Coach for the school. Right now we are 5 and 0 and we are pretty much destroying every team that we play. We only have two more games before the playoffs begin, after that we will see how it goes. Over all I am really enjoying myself at the school so far, but we will see in a few weeks if I am still enjoying it. If nothing else, it feels good to be responsible for something or someone.

John...my five year old boyfriend

So John is my nephew and he is five years old. For some odd reason he thinks that me and him are going to get married. His family recently moved about an hour away from me, so for his first day of school I went down to visit. I have never been around to see someone's first day of school, it was fun to see how excited he was. Also later on the same day John had his first Soccer game, I think he might have been more excitied about the soccer game than school. He was actually really good for never playing before. But now when he talks to me, he tells me that he isn't good because he hasn't scored yet. So when I'm around I try to play soccer with him. John is a funny kid and he would be the perfect boyfriend if he wasn't five and my nephew. Every time I come to visit he comes running at me to give me the biggest hug and kiss. John always wants to sit with me to watch T.V. or to do whatever. Some of my friends think it is so funny that he wants to marry me as soon as he gets older. I think it is great, it is nice to be so loved, even if he is only five year old.

Wedding

Well on August 25, 2007 two of my best friends FINALLY

got married after being engaged for over a year!!!! It was so much fun to get to go to their wedding and see how happy they were. Another friend of ours was joking that he is the reason they got married because he introduced Emily and Lyle. That may be true, but they are married because of me. Many times while they were doing the long distance thing Emily would call me about something that Lyle did or didn't do. Then I would go talk to Lyle, then Lyle would magically say the right things to Emily the next time they talked. We had a joke that I would have to tell Lyle all the important things in their marriage. The joke was that Emily would call me a few years down the road and tell me that she was pregnant. Then I would come over and tell Lyle. It is a good thing that their relationship has progressed passed that stage and I don't have to be the middle man any more, just the third wheel.

Me and Jessica and the wedding, she is Emily's sister and one of my old roommates that I hadn't seen in about a year.

Me and Kari at the reception, since I am done with school in Rexburg, me and Kari will never again be roommates. :-( It was good while it lasted though.

Happy Birthday

While I was home I was able to celebrate my dad's birthday, he officially became old turning 65 years old. He got his and my favorite dessert for his birthday, Banana Pudding. There is nothing in this world that tastes better. Well maybe a few, but not many.

Family

Sorry it has been so long since my last post, I have been super busy. But here is a small attempt to catch up. While I was home I got to spend time with family that I don't get to see that often, both Tricia's Family and Rob's Family came to visit.

Sierra playing at the Park with her stuffed animal, I don't think she leaves home without it.

Here is my dad having fun playing Grandpa with Sierra, John, and Savannah

John enjoying his ice cream cone, he had to take off his shirt so he didn't spill on it. So no he is not naked.
And here is Tanner showing off his new outfit. For some reason we didn't take many pictures of Rob's Family and the ones we did didn't really come out well. This was the best one.
