got everything checked off to be a legit substitute teacher.

one of my 3rd graders wrote the cutest thing about mrs. drope and i (i will have to take a picture)

went to my last student teacher seminar and learned all about teacher interviews (very informative)

glee night.

finally unpacked and cleaned my room

got a surprise missionary letter from SISTA sara michelle ence. (man i miss that girl)

finished a bunch of lesson plans.

watched ramona and beezus.

curled up in blanket, hoping for another great dream tonight :)

happy tuesday

oh, please enjoy this awesome video we watched at orientation.

i laughed so hard.

some people just dont know how to stop and think for 2 seconds.

11.29.10

today was much better than yesterday to say the least.

my 3rd graders are still adorable.

they were super chatty

but entertaining.

then the roommates and i cooked a scrumptious dinner

and had a gilmore viewing party 

as i procrastinated more homework.

two weeks....

two weeks...

also, the snow is absolutely gorgeous when you are NOT driving in it.

11.28.10

i'm alive.

11.27.10

i cant even believe how fast this week has gone.

its already saturday and i am so not ready to leave tomorrow.

today we decorate some more,

cleaned

and i made gretchen help me grade the millions of papers that i had to grade

and then i watched one classic christmas movie,

definitely made me happy.

:)

11.26.10

today is my favorite day of the whole entire year.

no kidding.

the day after thanksgiving, every year

is our family day.

we sleep in

and then dad and i put the christmas lights on the house.

dont know why its always my dad and i

but i love it. 

he gets kind of scroogy,

but it semi-entertaining 

and its tradition for every year.

then we decorate inside for christmas

listen to christmas music all day

and then...

we have our annual family schmorgasborg

(or however you spell it)

we get all sorts of junk food and we watch christmas movies

into the wee small hours of the morning.

we usually get through 5 or 6 movies

and its so glorious!

i love the anticipation of christmas, which i think is why i love this day so much.

plus its my whole family, all 6 of us

which always makes me happy.

boo. i cant rotate this picture. sad.

11.25.10

happy turkey day.

i love turkey and i love turkey day.

we had thanksgiving at grandmas and grandpas this year

with just us and aunt ree.

it was a blast.

it was great to just visit and laugh with the family.

then joseph, diane and 'big ben' flew in from new york

and we caught up with them and had a blast.

i love family

and i love the holidays.

 p.s. listen to this song.

it sums up everything i love about thanksgiving

11.18.10

sometimes i think to myself

"being a teacher is hard, why do i want to do this?"

and then a 3rd grader gets out of his seat, 

walks over and gives me a giant hug for no apparent reason

(other than to avoid doing task time work)

but still.

i love what i do.

a lot.

and i love GG marathons,

and being productive 

(working on my portfolio)

and re-doing my blog

happy thursday!

11.17.10

3rd grade field trip to see 42nd Street.

love this show!

and Alta High was fabulous!

it was absolutely darling :)

this 3rd grade field trip also brought about many hilarious 3rd grade funnies,

which i won't share here,

just trust me when i say it was definitely an entertaining day!

11.16.10

it is THIS. SIMPLE.

seriously.

its almost pathetic how much this show makes me happy.

i said almost

okay maybe a super pathetic.

deal.

also, matt was scruffy for the majority of this episode which is

1000% okay by me.

(yes we are on a first name basis)

i also cheated tonight and didnt watch a 'B' movie.

i watched singing in the rain.

because its my #2 favorite movie on the planet.

which is probably why tonights episode was so happy.

oh happy gleeday!

felt like death this morning, so had to call in sick.

it sucks being sick,

but i can tell you now that i feel more rested than i have in a long time.

probably cause thats all i did today...rest.

i slept, watched a movie, slept, watched last nights glee again, slept, and slept some more.

it was lovely.

and i feel much better.

hopefully i can withstand the 3rd grade germs tomorrow, and continue feeling better.

we shall see.

also, this post made my day. 

seriously, i feel like this girl is me, just much more clever and witty.

awesome.

and kind of awesome....

happy monday

11.07.10

i really really like sundays.

and this one was pretty exceptional.

the only bad thing about sundays is when they are over

and then monday comes.

thats just plain rude.

but luckily the sunday that was today was great

and will get me through the week.

this was the best part

and then certain ward prayer moments were pretty awesome.

and humiliating.

and great.

hum....

interesting how that works.

happy sunday!

2. im finally starting to love 3rd grade (oh 8 year old humor is too much!)

3. parent/teacher conference week means....Scholastic book fair in the library

4. above mentioned book fair means i was forced to complete my collection of my most favorite series. now i just need the audio cd's and the doll to top it all off.

6. gahhhh i love kids books.

i think the thought that i just HAVE one made my whole world today haha

hooah!

happy thursday!
