Change...

Change is sometimes good! Wow you never know what life brings. My cute dad told me that change is sometimes as good as a rest! About the middle of March my principal asked if I would be interested in teaching Kindergarten next year. I gave it some thought and decided to do it! I'm sad to leave my awesome first grade team, but excited to work with Melissa who was on my team last year! I do not have my early childhood endorsement so I am going back to school this summer (and will hopefully be done by the end of next summer) with the endorsement. I'm excited for a new challenge (teaching kindergarten) but I'm not too excited to have homework again! (I thought I was finished with that when my Masters Degree was finished). I guess I'm crazy, because I'm doing more school!

Project Girl...

Before

So I'll admit it.. I'm a total project girl! I love projects and it has been a while since I had done one! My cute grandma Bev (whom I adore and love so very much) has been remodeling and decorating her house. She had this buffet table in her living room and we decided it would be fun to put it in the family room underneath her new flat screen TV. Granted the project took me a little while to get done, it was fun to try something new !

After

Volunteering...

My friend Jacob Condie was in charge of running one of the Iron Man Stations here the first weekend in May. It was way fun to help out and super tiring. I can't imagine what the contestants felt like. Our station was located in town, it was when they got off of their bikes and then started running 26.2 miles. It was an amazing experience to help and watch these amazing people. We took the bikes from the contestants and racked them according to number. There were 2400 contestants. What a crazy fun day!

Deon & Bryce

It's almost been a year since Dee moved up north! I miss her so much! She is such a great friend and example! :)

Teacher Appreciation Week

A few weeks ago was Teacher Appreciation week at our school! I want to say Thank You to all my wonderful room moms and parent volunteers! I am truly spoiled! This is my cute bulletin board they made and the kids brought cute things in each day! I even had another room mom send in a cute gift each day like the 12 days of Christmas (but it was the 5 days of Teacher Appreciation week). I feel so loved! Thanks everyone! :)

Warm Springs

So I'm a little behind on my updates. A few weeks ago we had a regional singles activity at Warm Springs. It is such a fun place! We played frisbee, had a BBQ, and even a boat race. Each ward made a boat out of cardboard and duct tape-- our ward dominated--of course! It was so much fun, and got me excited for summer fun in the sun!

Funny Story

So this is even just for me to remember! So at Christmas time, I decided to get a new iphone! (and I love it). But that meant changing cell phone services. I canceled my old plan, and it must have been great timing, because my next bill they sent me was 20 cents... I repeat 20 cents. When I got the bill, my first thought was: "you spent more in postage and paper than the cost of my actual bill". (someone wasn't thinking). :) So me and my parents got a good laugh out of it. Well my dad suggests to send the bill back with a quarter taped to it with a note that said "keep the change". So I did just that. ( I figured then a real person would have to handle it and not anything automated. ) Well, the next month rolls around and I get another bill, but this time with a credit of 5 cents! :) I was dying! Really, they sent me another bill (cost of postage and paper) to tell me I had a credit of 5 cents. The picture above is my proof! The next month comes and I get the same bill again! A credit of 5 cents! Wow these people are really smart! :) I haven't seen anything since then, so I'm hoping they figured it out, or they might be loosing some good money on postage and paper!
Hey at least it gave me a good laugh--- a few times!
