Field Trip

On Wednesday we took the second grade class to Las Vegas. We went to the Natural History Museum. It was loads of fun. I fell asleep on the way back and my kids were well behaved!

Grandpa's Birthday

So last Sunday was my grandpa's birthday. My parents were visiting and we all went out to dinner at Texas Roadhouse. Laura and David Guimond and their boys came with us. We got Grandpa a cake and had my dad go get it. When he came back they came with a horse saddle and Grandpa was a good sport. They told everyone it was his 30th birthday! Happy Birthday Grandpa!

Frustration

I know it is only Monday, but I have a few frustrations this week already. I thought it would be a good week. I mean today started out good. So here is my list of frustrations:

1. This Cold- I want it gone!!!!

2. People who get away with it all!!! You know who you are and I am tired of you wrecking my life. You will pay soon.

3. Being so far away- The weekend is coming soon for my parents to come!

So maybe it is not a lot, but I am saying that number 2 is the one that makes me so mad!!! I want that person to pay. But I have to say that Mr. Peterson is great and he helped big time today. Thanks Mr. Peterson!

Update On Me

Sorry it has been way too long since I last wrote. Life has been quite a journey lately for me. I have been very busy trying to get back into being at school all day and teaching again. It seems that during Christmas break I forgot all that. I also have been gone almost every weekend since I got back, but more to come on that.

First Update:
When we got back to school, we had to turn in all of our second quarter testing results to Mr. Peterson, which we always have to do. But then Carolyn had to put them together and show us how well our class did. I guess my class did well, really well. I had close to 80 to 85% pass the math and read test that I gave. I was so happy with those results and expected everyone else to do just as well. That was not quite the case and so now I am trying my best to keep on working just as hard to do it again and again.

Second Update:
Last weekend I went up to Salt Lake and spent sometime with Carolyn and her friend Carla. I had a lot of fun there and I got to meet some of Carolyn's family. I met her son Brian and his wife Allison and their children. These guys are great people. I also got to meet Dan's sister Anna and her family. She is super sweet and has three wonderful children and a fourth one on the way. Her little girl just fell in love with me and I did the same to her. I am also going to see Dan next month. I am meeting the whole family at that time. I am a little nervous on that so anyone with any advice, I could use it.

Last Update:
So I am doing the biggest loser. Right now I have lost 6 pounds and I am in 67th place out of 103 people. So I have to keep working on that but I love doing it. I started my friend Shayley's spin class and I love it. It is a lot of fun. I thought it would take a long time to do it for 50 minutes, but it was done before I knew it. So I am going to keep on doing it.

This next month will bring more and I am sure I will have pictures. My mom and dad will be here on the 12th until the 17th. We are going on a field trip on the 18th. My friend's mom is getting married that weekend and then the following weekend I am going to Colorado to see Dan. So next month will be filled with more excitement.

Christmas Break

My Christmas break was just what I needed. It was a lot of fun. I got to see one of my college professors who has moved by my parents now. He is a great guy and I enjoyed our visit. I also got to going sledding with my cousin David and spend loads of time with my family and relatives. However, I did not work at all while I was home. Well I did help at the hospital doing some inventory, but that was all. I enjoyed it was good. I also got to see some people I graduated with and go out with some of my old friends. Break was really good and now I am ready for a good new year. I have loads of new goals and great ways to accomplish them all.

New Year New Me

Happy New Year to all!

So this year is going to bring a new me into this world. I am going to start making myself into more of who I want to be for now and the future. I have been exploring different ways to do this all break and I found one. I was looking on Steph's blog and landed on this one that Steph had told me about before. This lady does a Biggest Loser online thing. So I have decided to join up this time and do my best at it. I am sure that I will slack in the begining, so everyone at work is going to need to help me a little hint hint! Well I hope everyone is having a great New Year so far and when I get back to a computer where I can unload pictures I will and do a good post for the New Year.
