There has been a lot of change going on in our lives lately, most of it is good :)
Since the last post Daniel and I have both finished with school, Daniel made it successfully through his first year back at college and I am proud of him for it! He worked VERY hard this last semester with all of his homework and still working 40 hours a week, but he made it.
I finished up my student teaching in my 2nd grade class, and was sad to leave me kids - but it led me to bigger things. I graduated from USU with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Elementary Education. I also applied for a job in the Carbon County School District and secured a position teaching 4th grade at Castle Heights Elementary. I am very excited to start preparing things for August, but have been putting the lesson plans off because I want a bit of a break before I dive in again. My classroom needs to be put together and is currently known as "The Boneyard" because it has been empty for 1+ years, so it has been a storage space for things not wanted by teachers. I am excited to get the stuff out of our little apartment and into my classroom so that it will stop taking up room at home! IF ANYONE IS GETTING RID OF BOOKS TALK TO ME FIRST! I need to build up my classroom library, so I welcome any books! :)
I wish I had more pictures from graduation, I do have some with my family that I still need to get. They are still on my parents camera. This is a cute one of my niece Reagan wearing my cap :)Next bit of change is the fact that I chopped off my hair. I donated it again to Locks of Love, cut off about 15 inches, and donated about 12 inches. I needed a change, while I do like my hair long and curly, I wanted to try something new and different with this new phase begining in my life!
Daniel and I are doing well, just keeping busy, through the summer he is still working full time, and looking for other work to do as well. In his spare time he is going to tackle some long awaited log furniture that he has had designed to build for ages, if you are interested in some pieces give us a call, they are beautiful! Me, for now I will be getting my classroom ready and trying to get a job for 2 months... :) Take care and enjoy this cooler weather before the hot summer really hits!
