Call Me Maybe

I'm sure all of you are wondering "what up with that title" the truth is it is simply the song I am listening to right now, at this exact moment. Marie will appreciate that.

I've been putting off blogging since there is nothing really going on with my life but then I realize that actually a lot has happened. Here's an update. I wish I had pictures to share but I left my purse at school, wallet, camera, EVERYTHING! :( o-well.

Updates in no particular order.
1. My dad is getting married. He proposed to Darla shortly after putting Cleo down. They are getting married June 2nd. Go them!
2. Ryan and I bought a new car. Since I am driving 80 miles a day we decided that I needed a car that gets better then the Liberty's 20 mpg. It was a sad day for me to give up my Liberty but it's ok the new car is a Nissan Versa and it gets about 40 mpg!
2.5 I am moving classrooms this year. 3rd grade is moving out into the Relo's (relocatable classrooms). It will be a HUGE adjustment but you gotta do what ya gotta do. 
3. I'm going to grad school! I got into an online school Western Governor's University and in about 2 years I will graduate with a Masters in Curriculum and Instruction.
4. Ryan got a job working at Vivant. He works 3-11:30pm. That means I have a lot of time on my hands while I wait for him to get home. Usually he gets home and I'm dead asleep then I wake up early to head to school while he is still sleeping. On weekends I never let him go.
5. Melanie and Clayne (Ryan's parentals) took us to St. George this last weekend to see Brian Regan at Tuacahn. It was so fun to get away for a quick weekend with them and Brian was hilarious!
6. I survived another Mother's Day. This one was Tough with a capital T!
Last week a sister in our ward died due to complications with childbirth. It was her 3rd baby and she left behind 3 kids under 4 years old. It made us realize how precious life can be. It didn't help me at all that in Relief Society we talked about their family and their kids losing a mother. I was a mess all day, barely holding it together. Several times I had to remove myself from everyone and sit alone for a bit to get a handle on my emotions. Once I got home from all the festivities I just bawled in Ryan's arms. I love my husband, he is always there for me, and doesn't mind my snot-nose.
I am so blessed with all the women in my life who are willing to lead me by example. I am so thankful for their understanding and acceptance of me.
7. There are only 12 more days of school left! but who's counting....oh right EVERYONE!!!
