Almost Done!

It's hard to believe that the school year is almost done! I have one more "real" week of school and then the last two weeks are cleaning and preparing for the last day. The kids are definitely ready for school to be done. They are going CRAZY!! We began distilling lavender oil in the room and that has calm them down a bit. I know my patience has worn a bit thinner lately and at least it's helped me!

I've been a bit more stressed this week because it's parent teacher conferences this week and next week. It's always a little stressful because I have to be honest, but tactful with them about their kids. I have had most of my kids for two years now, so it's also hard to believe that this will be the last time I'll be meeting with the parents. The other reason I've been stressing is because I've been thinking about where I might apply to work once I complete the class I need to in order to qualify for the alternative route to licensure program. I don't know why I've been thinking about it so much because I am only on lesson 2 of 16! I still have a ways to go before I'm done and can really do what I need to do. I think it might be because I now know that I have more options that I originally thought as to where I could apply.



And can I just say, I LOVE working in the temple. I look forward to it every week. I am meeting some really great people there and learning so much. I am so grateful the opportunity to do this right now in my life.

Week 10: The Trail Ends Here

It's crazy to think that I'm half way through training for a half marathon and yet I am able to run more than half that distance now. It's amazing what you can do when you put your mind to it. I love that I live so close to the Provo River Trail. I've only just started running on it and I'm hooked. I ran to where it ends or begins, depending on how you look at it. I think it would be cool to run the whole thing from beginning to end someday, but I don't know if I could. We'll see!

Spring Break!

Spring break was a much needed vacation. I went hiking, played with puppies, ran, and watched lots of the TV show Lost. I love that show. This week gave me the taste of summer that I needed so I can make it through these last 5 weeks of school. I will survive until summer, I think. ;)

Week 8: General Conference
