I have a job!

I officially have a job for next year!! I am so excited to have my own classroom! I will be teaching at an elementary school in Tremonton. I am not a big fan of Tremonton so this will be interesting! :) Don't be mad Randi Jo!! We are now trying to figure out where to live... I am trying to find a way that make sense to Dave for us to live in Perry. I am not sure it is working to well!

Dave's concert and Cory's visit

Dave's band had their first concert in Ogden a few weekends ago. Dave is so talented, it was fun to watch him! Dave enjoys playing but wishes they played a little softer stuff.

We had Dave's brother Cory stay with us for a week or so. He is going to be graduating from high school this year and we are trying to get him to come to Utah State!! I am not sure if we convinced him or not... We had a lot of fun while he was here as well as some adventures. We loved having Cory here and hope that he comes out to Utah. Poor Cory was probably bored while he was here since Dave and I were always at school. Cory did come to school with me one day and helped in the 3rd grade class. He did so well and the kids loved him! Danny, Dave's brother that is going to BYU also came up on the weekend. I can't believe I didn't get any pictures while they were here.

We went to Lava Hot Springs in Idaho and it turned into an adventure. One of Dave and my friends came with us. He forgot his swim suit in the car and went back to get it. The key broke in the lock and we were stranded in good ole' Idaho! My parent luckily were able to bring a spare key to Logan and his wife brought the key to us. The worst part of all of this was what Danny and Cory put in the window at my apartment that my parents saw....a blinking neon "Live Nudes" sign! My parents didn't think it was so funny and I am not sure what all of my neighbors think....I figured something to that nature would happen with all these boys together!

Baby Jarrett

Me and Baby Jarrett today! Isn't he the cutest thing ever!!! He makes the funniest faces.

When he was a few days old

So I finally was able to get to Perry and visit my sister and Jarrett. It seems so crazy that I live so close but am unable to get to Perry very often. I had so much fun visiting with them. Mckell has been soooo sick the past few weeks I feel so bad for her. She says she is not having anymore kids! :) I think this has cured my baby fever for the time being. Dave is happy about that. ;)

He is such an alert little boy. He is so strong also. He tries to life his head and moves around so much. Today when I was holding him he kept trying to stand and jump. You think I am kidding but I am not. I was actually a little freaked out. He is only 3 weeks old. The doctor was surprised at how strong he was. He is so funny and we are so happy that he is in our family!

***I also have another cute nephew James. Dave's sister Kirsten had her new little guy the first of February. I am so sad we live so far from them. She has 3 adorable kids and we hope to be able to see them soon!

Help!

I have the hardest time posting pics. If anyone can help me I would love you forever. Once you load a pic is there anyway that you can move it around or move the text. It always loads in a weird order and I can't move them. I also can't type anything above it or what not. I know a lot of your posts look so nice but I am not so sure how to do it. I also need to fix my top pic. PLEASE HELP!!! :)

I am half way through student teaching!!

So I have finished my Special Education student teaching!! I start my Elementary Education student teaching on Tuesday. It is so excited to be graduating this May. I am starting to apply for jobs so hopefully I can get a hob close by. I can't wait to have my own class!!!

The Special Ed department has all the districts in Utah come to Logan and interview us. Well, this year it was canceled due to the bad weather. We were all a little bummed since districts usually give you a job on the spot. Us girls made the best of the day and went to lunch!! We know how to have a good time and eat yummy food. :) We had a blast. It is so fun getting together with everyone I went through the program with. I miss not seeing them everyday.

My sister Mckell did have her baby earlier this month. I will post pics tomorrow when I see her.

MIndy's shower and wedding

My mom, sister, and I at Mindy's shower

Mindy and Nate got married on January 23rd. It was such a wonderful day and Mindy look absolutely beautiful. Dave's mission president sealed them, it was so good. Mindy seems so happy and Nate is so good to her and I am so grateful.


Mindy and I at her luncheon

This is such a great picture to show Dave's personality.

Dave, Jake, and some of Nate's friends decorated their car. I think this was Dave's favorite part of the day!

Cancun!!!

Dave and I were able to go to Cancun for a few days in January. It was such a nice trip to get away and be in the sun! We spent a day laying on the beach and then the other day in Cozumel where Dave and his guy friends went scuba diving; I was a wimp and wouldn't go...maybe one day? I loved Cancun though, I have always wanted to go (my romance novels made it seem so romantic :) ) The water is as blue as it is in pictures and the sand is sooo white, it is so beautiful.

I hope to go back again and spend more time.

Us on our last morning there. I didn't take many pictures, what is my problem lately?

Cancun Wahoo!
