Funny couple!

As most of you know I have an overactive mind and think about everything and anything. Even when I am spacing off I still thinking about something. :) I am learning so much about the difference between the minds of men and women. Tyler has a nothing box. This is a new thing to me. I had no idea it existed. When he says he is thinking about nothing he really is serious. But then it makes me question how many brain waves are in the nothing box. :)

Tyler is extremely competitive in everything he does. He makes me laugh really hard. It makes him so mad that he can't beat me at any card game. But on the other hand he can beat me at every sport. So I guess we even each other out. I love how he is just himself all of the time, he does what he wants when he wants. That was one of the things that he said he loved about me when we first met. He tells me his favorite feature of mine is my smile. He is so kind and loving. I am trying to learn compassion and sympathy from him. He has more than I could ever imagine. He always gives people the benefit of the doubt. He is an awesome friend to everyone. I need to learn how to do that better. :)

I asked him what kind of couple we will be. He told me that we would be a funny one because people will laugh at us all the time. I think I agree. I can't wait to marry him. We are going to have so much fun. :)

Compromise. :)

Sorry it has been so long since I have updated this thing. Tyler and I are getting to know each other more and more by the day. Tyler has all of our furniture picked out, since he works at Blacker's furniture. We got a king size bed for a killer deal. It is so soft. I am excited to sleep on it. Also there are some love seats and recliners that look nice. :) I want to go the cheaper route for a while and then get something else when he is done with school. Also Tyler has a big TV with 16 speakers on it picked out. I personally don't need a big TV. I rarely watch the thing, maybe we will come to a compromise soon.

So I love to have conversations and share thoughts and Tyler does not love that as much. But Tyler on the other hand loves playing any kind of sport and I do not love that so much. So we made a deal that if he tries to talk to me more then I will try to play more sports with him. It has been working pretty well so far. I have learned how to play racket ball so far. He says that I am not bad. I just need to hit it like I mean it. I am working on meaning it and not being afraid of the ball. Also he says that when I hit the ball I close my eyes. It might help if I open my eyes, I will work on that. :)

In LOVE!

Okay so I know it has been a very long time since I have posted. I have been a little preoccupied getting to know a fabulous man. His name is Tyler Wood. He is going to ISU to become a nurse then he wants to be a nurseathesistist. So it is a few years down the road, but he is ambitious and self motivated so I am happy with it. He is awesome with kids and loves to play. I finally don't have to be the source of entertainment! lol He treats me like gold, and for the first time I don't have to try to like him. It is so easy. I finally know what everyone is talking about with just knowing. :)
OH did I mention that he asked me to marry him on December 21st? It was a complete suprise. He called my boss and had her pull me out of class while he set up. When I returned, he had all my students holding a letter to spell WILL YOU MARRY ME?!?! Then he came over and got on one knee and asked me with a very pretty ring. I said yes of course. I have never been so happy. My life is just falling into place.
It is funny how when you stop looking for all the right things to happen in your life and just move on and do the things that the Lord wants you to, then the Lord sends you the things that you long for the most. Everything just falls into place and it is so easy. :)
I will post pictures soon. :)

Family pictures

Here are some previews of us. These are my favorite ones. We did it at a little park here in Blackfoot. A lady in Ang's ward did it. I thought they turned really good. I love how fun my family is. :)

New School Year!

Here I am starting school on August 26th. Ang got me a new luch bag to replace the cinderella one I usually used. :) The first day was fun but the second day was really fun. I have had my ups and downs but overall I love it. My students are so sweet. They want to please me and tell me how cute I am every day. Not mention the many hugs, smiles and laughs I get. I love to sing songs with them and do art projects. They are so creative. :) I have 21 students in my AM class and 18 in my PM.
On Monday I am going to start my first real normal week where I will have morning and afternoon the whole week. It has not been normal yet becuase of orientation, fair week, and meetings. Plus we ride the buses with the students for the first 4 days of school to help the bus drivers and make the kids feel more comfortable.
I have found that the town of Blackfoot kind of shuts down during fair week. We had only half days all week in all the schools so the kids can go to the fair. My mentor told me that the parents pull the kids out anyway so it is not worth the work. :) The library and pool have been closed all week. It is kind of weird but fun I guess.
Oh my mentor has been teaching for 20 years and she is fabulous. She is so patient with me. I ask so many questions and she makes sure that I am okay every day. I have so so blessed. I have a fabulous job, coworkers, and support. This is what I went to school for and it is paying off. I love every minute of it. :) It is so much work though! My new home is the school, I spend most of my time there, I go at 8 in the morning and come home at 6 or later every day. Then I go on weekends sometimes too to get ready for the next day. It is a never ending list of things to do. I wish I was a Super Woman sometimes. I feel so invited and accepted in the little group of eight teachers. OH yeah I do have an aid that helps me during my centers, she is a lot of fun too.

A real grown up job!

So I did about 5 interviews and got offered two different teaching jobs. I accepted the one here in blackfoot at the kindergarten center. I will have a morning and afternoon class. I am really excited. I will start going to meetings and stuff on august 19th. May God help me not to be to afraid.

For the summer I was looking for a PSR job (Psycho social rehabilition) I thought it would be fun, plus I would get paid 15-20 dollars an hour with my degree. But I soon found out that nobody was hiring until the middle of July. So I decided to just take the summer off since I would be starting my teaching job a month later. So I have been staying up late, going on dates, sleeping in as long as Royal will let me, and getting a really good tan. OH also I am going to camping for the second time this week, so I will have plenty of wilderness time in me.
I love camping except for the sleeping part. The bed is not very comfy, the wind blows sometimes, it rains sometimes, and sometimes someone snores in my tent to wake me up. This time the snoring stopped in about 30 minutes but it was still enough to make me want to throw something at them. The Food is so good though! :)

Easter Weekend!

We had a busy weekend with a wedding and jazz game in Utah. Then we went and soaked in hot tubs at Lava and played Laser tag. My Aunt, Uncle and cousin came from Maryland for the wedding and we had party after party. I love family but it is nice to go back to normal routines when they leave.

Easter dinner was soooooo good. We had chicken with Mango Salsa on it. It was easy and relaxed. We had a small easter egg hunt for the kids and everyone got along well. :)
