January is almost over!!

Wow it has been awhile since I lasted posted! I am going to try to be better it is one of my goals, but teaching has really taken over my world haha. I am loving the challenge teaching has brought me! It is fun when I get to be on the creative side of things! My students are awesome they know so much already and we still have half the year left, probably the most amazing part where my students have grown is in the math department. They came in not really knowing the basics like simple addition and subtraction, we had major jumps backwards and there was a lot of tears on my end. But no worries with lots of love and help and dedication from the students we have made it to where we need to be and they are awesome. These kiddos are multiplying like made and they are awesome at division! Next comes the really fun part of our curriculum fractions, decimals, and graphing data! 

As far as our home goes we had a rough fall, Zac started with AFLAC and has now moved onto work with Wells Fargo and our home has become a little less stressful and more enjoyable. We really do appreciate that we got to experience these challenges together and they have made us that much stronger. 

As far as football went this fall I think the boys did an amazing job, being as it was their first year as a team and they were mostly freshman and sophomores playing juniors and seniors. They didn't end up going to state but I am very proud of how far they did get! My father in law did an amazing job coaching those boys and I can't wait for next season!! 

One thing I am missing desperately this winter is the skiing we have not gone yet and seeing as January is almost over this is a problem....the snow at our local resort has not been the greatest and I got sick with a cold so we were unable to drive to the next closest resort which has lots of great snow. But I am on the mend and we are going to go hopefully really soon. On the bright side though we have planned a little vacation to go down to Utah in February to have a little ski weekend and I am so stoked. So if you are in town while we are there please come and join us!!

Summit Academy's First Football Game!

This past weekend we drove down to Salt Lake to watch Summits first ever football game! This year they are ranked as a 1A school for football. The team they played was Millford High which is 3 hours southwest of Salt Lake, the town is very small and they only have one restaurant which was Subway. It was such a cute little town, you could tell the recession hit them pretty hard but those boys were so excited to be playing! So to start the game there were some pretty dark clouds over head and then it decided to pour right when the cheerleaders went out to the middle of the field for the national anthem. Linda was smart enough to bring an umbrella, she got it out and we thought it should blow over soon but it just kept raining harder, all we could do was just laugh! Then the lightening came and they delayed the game, Linda and I ran to our car and on the way we got even more soaked! It was so funny.....mostly because we were so unprepared. It was a great first memory of Summit football!!! Summit won the game and it was awesome!! I can't wait to go to more games this season!! Way to go Bears!

Oh I almost forgot on the way down we stopped in Beaver at the cheese factory outlet and got squeaky cheese it was amazing!!!

Exciting Stuff!

Wow I really am terrible at this blog thing....I am going to make it a goal to post at least 2 times a month.

So some really exciting things have happened here lately. First we will do a little recap of what has happened.

We went to Orlando in April and it was so FUN! It was a great little get away, and it was fun to spend some time with Zac's family! Then it was also my birthday and it was pretty low key we just went out to dinner and hung around home! Zac got me some sweet new kicks as well as some new GOLF Clubs! I will put a picture up on my next post....promise! 

In May I started my Get Golf Ready golf lessons that i teach with my friend Kelly and they were so much fun! We just finished our first ladies session and now we are on our second ladies sessions and our first Juniors lessons! I am loving it and learning so much! I also wrapped up the school year with my Title I and ERI job and it was exciting but sad at the same time, I am going to miss working with those kiddos every day! Oh I also had a job interview with Summit Academy and they offered me an assist teaching position which was awesome! 

Okay ready for the most exciting part of this post! I was offered a full time teaching position with Star Elementary and I will be teaching 4th grade! I am SO SO excited, I did my first semester of student teaching in 4th grade and LOVED working with my mentor and now we get to be teaching colleagues and I am way excited!! When I found out I had to immediately go out and do a little shopping! 

Anyways we are getting the car all packed to head down to the OC to spend sometime with Zac's family and I promise when I get back I will post a lot of pictures of the last few months! 

Love love

Where has March gone....

Wow I have been really bad at this whole blog thing....so let me back track a little on what has happened since the last post we have celebrated 3 birthdays in the family and 1 anniversary and they all occurred  a week.....first up was my little brother Ben, he turned the BIG 21!! Oh and he survived Vegas! Next up was my parent's 26th wedding anniversary, Love you Mom and Dad you guys are an amazing example! Then Granny had her birthday! I was very sad I didn't get to go to her birthday brunch but from what I hear it was very nice, Happy Birthday Granny!!! I love you so much! Then finally to wrap up the crazy week was my Dad's birthday, we had a nice little evening at home and ate way to much lasagna, pie and cookies.

So you may ask what has been keeping me busy right....well teaching for one thing has me really busy I am always trying to find new ways I can help my little kiddos on their reading skills and I absolutely LOVE it! Another thing is the golf course is back up and running and this year I am a teaching professional so every chance I get I am at the course either practicing, helping give a lesson, or watching my mentors give lessons! I am so excited about it! 

OH AND HOW COULD I NOT SAY ANYTHING I AM LEAVING FOR FLORIDA IN 1 WEEK!!!! I am so STOKED if you could not tell hehe. Until next time.
