Blah D Blah

Life is going grand. Ryan is working this weekend at Vivant. They call him when they need a few extra people to cover sales competitions. I am still teaching and going to grad. school online.

Teaching this year has been most excellent. After struggling through years 1-3 with teaching I finally feel like I have time to breathe and get ahead even. It's an amazing feeling.

Funny story about a student
I have a student named Brant who is the younger brother of another student I had. Both students are not  golden students, they both struggled with staying on task in class and getting the material. They are both hilarious though. Yesterday while we were cleaning up to go home Brant came up and asked me if I had seen his nose. I was puzzled by the question since it was on his face, not bleeding or otherwise injured. "What?!" I asked him..."have you seen my nose?" he simply asked again then from his pocket he took out a rubber very lifelike nose. I just looked at it in shock and then started to laugh my head off. Brant just looked at me with a smile and put the nose back in his pocket and went back to packing his bag. Oh how I love the randomness of 3rd graders.

I love my job!

life goes on and on and on!

I feel like I've been hit by the Busy-Bus since I started school again. I have been working so hard I've made myself sick. The cough I have has been with me for about 5 weeks now and its just barely getting better. My cough has kept me (and Ryan) up at night....not fun. Anywho thats my excuse for not blogging more. 

Here is Ryan with his tiger shirt on ready to MASTER THE GRE! Thats right folks my Husband took the GRE! I'd say he mastered it!

We've been having a lot of fun watching the BYU Football! 

I have the absolute best husband ever! He does the dishes like a pro. I love him.

Another big event in our lives was we inherited these lovely leather couches from my dad's condo. He wanted to upgrade to a sleeper sofa. We had been talking about saving up for couches since we moved into Wymount. I love how the room feels now that there is enough room for everyone to sit. 

For Priesthood session of General Conference this past weekend I got to hang out with some of my Heywood family. We're crazy and we love it! (Marie, Maddie, and Me)

 Marie and Kela also got their faces painted! 

Ryan and I spent last weekend in Park City. He was asked to drive big-wig psychology professors around while they were working on a big book. It came with a free stay in a hotel room! We had a lot of fun (even though I was sick) we went up to the Olympic Park and to the outlet mall. It was fun. 

FUNNY STORY!

I am telling you this is funny stuff.

Today was our first field trip of the year. We went to the Planetarium to see the exhibits and watch a fun laser movie about the solar system. Well everything went wonderfully until the bus driver drove off without me.

We have a 2/3rd split at my school. A split is exactly what it sounds like half the students are in 2nd grade, half are in 3rd. Well the 3rd graders from the split came with us on the field trip. They had their own parent helpers so it was super easy for the teachers we just had to make sure they knew what do to. They were on my bus so as we were loading at the end of the trip I noticed I was missing one group so I went back into the Planetarium to search for them. Well they weren't there so I decided to go back to the busses and see if they got on while I was looking for them. I walked out the doors to see my students zoom past me. Needless to say I ran after the bus and the driver finally stopped and let me in. There in the back of the bus was the missing group. Apparently they got in earlier and then I missed them when I did my final count. Fun fun fun!
