Back in the Groove

I can't believe so much time has passed since I have last blogged.  I want to get back in the blogging groove, but we will see how it goes with my schedule (and our lack of internet).

I have been student teaching this semester, which I absolutely love.  I am at Hurricane Middle School and I was really nervous because everyone told me that middle school is the hardest to teach.  Though my students are at an awkward stage of life, I love them!  I'm so glad to know that I love teaching as much as I thought I would.  I have 38 days down, and 22 to go and the time is passing so fast.  I'm super excited to be done and graduate, but at the same time I'm not sure that I'm ready to move on.  I don't have a plan for what's next in my life, but we will see what comes.

I also recently joined a ballroom dance team.  We only practice once a week, but it is fun and it has allowed me to dance again which is wonderful.  We will go on a few tours and do some local performances, so it should be fun.  I wish Colt could do it with me, but due to his class and work schedules he couldn't. 

Other than that, we are just busy trying to keep up with everything going on.  Hopefully, I'll get back in the blogging groove!

Birthday Week

The last few years for our birthdays my mom has come out to visit.  I consider it my birthday week, and I love it!  She just left, which was sad, but we had a great week.  Mostly, we sat around and watched Lost and movies.  We also got our hair done,

and went to see Cats at the Tuacahn theater in St. George.  We convinced Colt to shamelessly take a picture with Old Deutoronomy and with the Cats sign.

As you can tell, we got a camera for our birthdays! Both of our cameras had stopped working so we were desparate for a new one and were very grateful when my mom brought us one.  Now, hopefully, I will blog more.  I love visits from my mom.  She's the best.

Birthday Boy

Happy Birthday to my wonderful husband!

Colt is really the best husband ever.  He takes care of me, loves me, and works so hard.  I love that I have a husband who honors his Priesthood and takes me to the temple.  He makes me laugh and smile everyday.  Thanks for everything you do for me, Colt!  I hope you have the best birthday ever!

Just For You

My father-in-law has been complaining about always having to look at the dirty diapers on my blog since I haven't written in a while.  So, this post is just for him...now he can look at himself instead!

Hopefully I will get in a blogging mood again soon, but until then I hope everyone is enjoying their summer!

Moving Motivation

We share a small front porch with our next door neighbors.  This is what we were greeted with this morning:

In case you are unsure of what these are...they are dirty diapers.  Our lovely neighbors have started a collection of dirty diapers on our little front porch.  I could say something, but I really have no words.

Ironic

I am currently writing a paper about the food pyramid and nutrition.

I ate cookies and milk for breakfast.

Almost There

I have:
 -6 sets of homework and quizzes to grade
-one 10 page paper to write
-6 math assignments to do
-2 presentations
-1 abstract algebra final
standing between me and summer.  I can't wait!
