Blessed

Today was my first day of school back. I have a great class. I am excited about the year. I am feeling so blessed. I have such a great job, life, and husband. Cody has one more semester of accounting left. I feel excited and anxious. I hope he gets a job quick. So if you have any accounting jobs you know about let me know. Thanks and have a great day.

PICTURES

I have decided to pick up on a new hobby, photography. I am going to repeat hobby. It is just a hobby, only a hobby. I am slow and not great, but it was a lot of fun. The poor family that had to bare with me and my rookie hobby. Well anyways here it is. These are pictures of an incredible, adorable, family who allowed me to take some pictures of them. I loved doing the editing.

SUMMER

So I decided that it was time to blog again. I am really excited because I always thought that I was a horrible journal writer and than a few Sundays ago there was a lesson on journal writing and blogging counts!!! I thought I would become a better journal writter than.
Anyways, this is summer has been amazing. I wish that the summer was forever because it is coming soon, time to go back to school. This summer Cody and I have done a lot of fun things. We have stayed extremely busy (more than even during the school year) with girls camp, scout camp, swimming lessons, and trips. Yeah I know it is funny that I am going to girls camp. I don't think people realize I am not a great camper!! And I just found out that there are ticks. I am seriously debating just sending the stuff up there!!!:)
I am learning a lot this summer. One of the things is compassion. I went to Washington for a week and than Cody was supposed to join me with some of our friends. They were coming on Wednesday. Tusday at about 3:00 Cody called and said that he had gone to the doctor and he had kidney stones. They wanted him to get a CT scan. Well instead of asking how he was feeling I was like are you serious...I kept thinking about him not being in Washington. Anyways, long story short he had a emergency surgery the next day and it was pretty bad. He actually just got his stent out yesterday from the whole thing. Anyways I will never live down my reaction to the whole thing...

Cheesy

Can anyone say cheesy? Yeah I know that I am, I like editing pictures to0 much. I didn't take very many pictures at Vegas so I didn't really have any, and if I did I was in the picture so I rarely took any. Yes, exactly that amazing, classic picture of the boys. I am pretty sure that they knew the picture was coming!:) It was a great pose, so good I couldn't have even staged it!! Plus I am really impressed with myself because that is two posts in two days!! I even surprise myself. Anyways I love this website to edit pictures free. There is so much more I could even do but I had to limit my time!

OUT and ABOUT

Disneyland and Las Vegas

Cody has been studying, studying, and studying. Literally, to the point that in order to get his attention, I’ve had to get him out of the house. I am okay with that though because it has allowed us to go to Disneyland, Las Vegas, Salt Lake, Cabins, and other great vacations. I am starting to feel a little selfish because we get to do so much. I have loved being able to be spontaneous and enjoy being with just Cody. We have a lot of fun together and have made a lot of entertaining stories. In Disneyland we got to go with my family. We loved the big rides and Scream was one of our favorites. In Las Vegas we were able to go to Phantom of the Opera and KA, the cirque de soleil. They were both amazing. Cody and I are enjoying our life.

Update

This is a picture of my family in Washington while we were acting out the Nativity.

I thought that I would do an update!! Yeah I know it is just about Cody and I so you can stop reading now if you want!!LOL However, if you want to know more details about our great, fast life....

Cody has the hardest semester that either one of us has experienced. Yes I included me in it, because it is hard to see how much he has to do...and really lets be serious when I was a students I always did the minimum ( I really don't know how I ended up with such a great GPA, it must have been the art, music, and dance classes.) Anyways, Cody is surviving, I think it is easier for him to worry about his school work, then to have to worry about me.

I am still working as a 6th grade teacher and loving it. The other day my students didn't have school but I still had to come. I was going on to tell them that I had to come to work the next day though, and one of my students asked me, "Where do you work," most of the classes figured out quickly where I worked but I really had to explain to some of these twelve year olds that I wasn't just at school for fun!!! It is a lot of fun but stressful too. I got a lot of my mother in me and seem to be really stressed out right now with a bunch of stuff. It is a good thing that I have Cody because he seriously holds my feet on the ground. I hope that you have a great day.

IT"S ABOUT TIME

I know....I know... I'm doing a sad job at blogging. We are managing to stay extremely busy. We had a good Thanksgiving at Cody's parents house with lots of food. Cody finishes his finals this week and he is doing amazing at school. He house two semesters left then we are off to the real world!!! My school doesn't get out until the 22nd and therefore, we are going to Washington the 22nd. No, I am not that anxious. We would go earlier but my students have a Christmas musical on the last day. I put my Christmas decorations out before Thanksgiving!! We are loving life and the things that we get to do now together. We love that we can be spontaneous in our life right now and are really having a lot of fun. Sorry the pictures aren't just normal. I have too much fun with editing pictures. The balloon pictures are of 700 balloons that my school released. I was in charge of Red Ribbon Week, which is a say no to drugs. And lucky Cody got to be my helper. We went Sunday night and had to blow them all up. It got so late I had to go Monday and do more. Lets just say I would do something different next time. It was really cool though to see all the students release a balloon at the same time. Hope you Holiday's are amazing and you enjoy them.
