Catch Up!

Wow...I have been a complete slacker in the blogging world. This last month has been an insane whirlwind! We have been really busy with life. I have been working my tail off and getting adjusted to my classroom. I have a really great opportunity. I have 10 students with some peer tutors mixed in. This classroom has some awesome aides and a teacher that has blown me away. I have been able to learn more than I ever thought. There have been lots of challenges and lots of success.
Josh has been working way hard so that I don't have to worry about anything but student teaching. He is so wonderful. I can't even express how much I appreciate all that he does. The biggest thing for me lately has been the little things that he does-even yesterday he left a note for me while he was on his lunch break-what a keeper.
We are both really looking forward to the end of the semester and moving! We can't wait to be closer to family as well as me being done! I am really looking forward to my own classroom. Thanks to all those who've supported us and have kept us in their lives.

Bringing in the New Year!

Josh and I had a great New Year celebration! We spent New Year's Eve with my sister TeKarri and her family at their house. And boy was it a full house. TeKarri is the best hostess. It was Josh and I, my little sister Chelsi and her friend, and Troy's friend from high school and his little family. We had a great time with so many fun people! Troy's friend Mike was a total crackup. We played Rock Band, the Wii, and a fun new A to Z game. We brought in the new year with fireworks and sparklers and of course the traditional toasts with sparkling cider. We all stayed the night there so we wouldn't be on the road with crazies. Troy even made us some awesome omlettes in the morning and pinchcake!
New Years day we went and spent some time with Josh's family for awhile until we went to my mom and dad's house. For Christmas my mom and dad wanted to take have all of us over for some games and then take us all to dinner. So we played some games and then headed to The Spaghetti Factory where we had lots of yummy food. We even told them it was my mom's birthday-her face was priceless. All in all we had great time with our families.
The next day Josh had the day off and we had a day with just the two of us here in Logan. What a great break! It will be awhile before we have a whole day with no real plans since school starts for me.
