Bad Blogger Award

Sometimes I remember my blog, but then I don't do anything about it.  I finally signed on and saw that it has been a year since I wrote anything.  Bad blogger award. A lot has happened in the last year. I started dating Shawn last December and it's been the best thing of my life.  We’ve been through a lot together and I think he’s the best human. I finished my student teaching and it was the best experience I could've imagined.  The teachers there are some of my favorite people and the kiddos are hilarious.  I literally took hundreds of pictures there, but I don't think I can post any of them.  I found some where the kids faces aren't showing. haha  In July I moved into a cute house with 3 cool roommates.  It is 5 minutes away from work and pretty rad.  I had a couple of crappy summer jobs, and planned to be a paraprofessional when the school year started again.

• · In August my advisor at the U gave a middle school my phone number and they needed a Special Education teacher to start in 5 days.  I wasn’t planning to apply for jobs until after I graduated, but I took the job and I’m pretty happy I did.  It’s insane right now doing my first year of teaching and finishing my last semester.  Sometimes I get overwhelmed, but I just remember that I’ve been wanting to do this for a long time and I was so lucky to have this opportunity.  I absolutely love teaching special ed. 

·         I am trying to live in the present and enjoy my life now, because it’s great.  But honestly, I can’t wait to be finished with my classes, so I can put more energy into my classroom and have a life. 

·         Life is pretty great.  I love living in Salt Lake.

Joey D. is an Eagle Scout

Belle & Sebastian

I (sort of) graduated from the University of Utah.  Really I just got to walk with my cohort in May and I will be done with my last 3 classes in December.  Good thing I'm taking Economics and Globalization to teach Special Ed. ;)

Trentley & Lindsey

Like.

We stalked L.C. on her mission in Idaho.

Wedding reception.

Another Wedding reception.

Kat dates are great.  Especially temple dates.

Bear Lake.  I just like chilling on the boat.

My badge and my first apple gift.  It was amazing.

I like making weird decorations for my classroom.  I rearrange it every 10 days.  Mostly because we don't fit into our tiny classroom, but also because I like to change stuff.  My poor little kids with wheelchairs can barely get to their desks. But the school let me pick out and order awesome tables that help a little bit.

Joey was visiting this week, so I put him in charge of Safety Sign Bingo.  Nailed it.

I've been told more than once that I look like one of the middle schoolers.  I'm okay with that.  25 years old is kind of like 12 years old, right?
