My wonderful husband!

So lately I have been pretty down. I have no energy and am very stressed. School is very stressful and very demanding with my time. I am too young to have no energy and to constantly be so tired. Dave has been so patient with me. I am so thankful he is because I am not so fun to be around when I am feeling this way.
So I was planning on making Swiss steak for dinner tonight. I was going to start it this morning and put it in the crock pot all day but I didn't get out of bed early enough this morning (getting out of bed in the morning is not one of my strong points). As we were driving home from work I was telling him what I was planning on making for dinner. The whole time I was feeling like I had so much to get done tonight and didn't really feel like cooking. I walked in the door and could smell onion, I didn't think much of it but walked into the kitchen and saw a wonderful surprise. Dave came home in between his classes and put the Swiss steak in the crock pot!! I was so happy and relieved. It was honestly better than when i make it. He is so wonderful! During his break he even went to the store and got the things I was needed to get after school. I have a wonderful husband and love him very much. Thank you so much Dave!!:)

No more tests!!

I took my last test of my college career on Wednesday! I am very excited! I cannot believe I am almost done with my classes. October 27th to Thanksgiving break I will be in an elementary school for my practicum. After that I have student teaching and I AM DONE!!! Wahoo I feel good about life today! :)
Tonight I am taking Dave to his first rodeo. I love rodeos! I wonder what Dave's dad will think about Dave going to a rodeo!! :)

Update

I decided it was time to update my blog. Thanks to all who wrote such kind comments on my last post. It was a very hard time for me and I really appreciate everyones support. I talked to Dana yesterday and the family is doing the best they can. They have had a lot of support from their community and that has helped them alot.

Dave and I are back in Logan going to school. We moved into a condo September 1st and have finally unloaded all of our boxes. I am amazed at how much stuff we have!! We now need to decorate our place. School is keeping us VERY busy so I have not thought to much about decorating.

I graduate in the spring in elementary and special education. Dave has a few more years left and will be graduating in Journalism. I completed the special education classes last year and now have this semester to finish up my elementary education classes. In the spring I student teach and then I am done! I have four good friends from the special education program now in my elementary education program this semester. I am so glad to have them in my classes. The elementary education program is not what I thought it would be. I am very disappointed with how it is going but it will all be in the past soon enough.

Dave went to his first demolition derby! He really enjoyed it. We had a really good time and were able to visit with some of our friends. This derby had trucks, I have never seen a derby with trucks! It was a little scary because 2 trucks rolled and one started on fire. Dave loved the scary parts best.



These are Dave's children. He loves to feed the ducks. There were three ducks that used to come to our house around 6:00 every night. This particular night Dave was waiting for them and they never came so he went to the pond. He came back to the back door and told me to come and look at what he found. I could not stop laughing. He was in heaven!

My mom and I were able to go to the DC temple after the funeral.


This is my favorite hamburger place EVER!! Tyler and Alex introduced it to me the first summer I was in Virginia. Luckily I found one in Florida this summer! I hear that Salt Lake will be getting one soon. Everyone should go there, it is amazing. My mom and I went twice when we were in Virginia!!!! We were only there Friday night to early Sunday morning....I think my mom thought I was crazy. :)

I love this pizza place. It is a little random. It is called Generous George Pizza! My cousin Becky and her husband Curtis were in DC for their anniversary so we were able to meet up with them for dinner after we went to the temple. It was good to see them!
