Sundaes on Sunday

please excuse my blurry phone pic, this was my little set up...
I have always wanted to have a get together on Sunday and serve sundaes, I just thought it would make for such a fun event. Well since its summer and I actually have some time so I did just that. Last night I had the party, and wasn't sure who was going to actually show up, to my amazement their ended up being 23 people there for sundaes. It was very laid back event with a few games, and just talking and enjoying one another. I hope I can plan something again in the near future. One more thing I can check off my summer to do list :)

Summer Vacay!

School ended just a lil over a week ago, and to be honest I am ready to go back.. Its not that I don't enjoy the thought of having nothing to do for 9 weeks, but the reality of it is that I am bored out of my mind! I have a list of things I want to do this summer but I am in a funk to accomplish any of them. I will eventually get busy but for my first week it has been blah!

right before graduation :)

The end of the school year went fairly smoothly.. I enjoyed myself at graduation.. I was asked to be on the stage greeting the students before they got their diplomas, I would get their name card hand it to the speaker and remind them to smile and walk across. It was SO rewarding! I loved my kids this year, and I am getting to know so many more kids! I am so looking forward to next year! 3 years at the same school :)

9 years

I can't remember the last time I celebrated Easter with my family. I want to say it has been close to 9 years, well its actually been that long since I have celebrated any holiday other than Christmas. I don't miss the drama that always comes with our family get together's but I do miss my family. As I have talked to my mom and sister 100+ times today I realize that it hurts knowing they are all together celebrating, talking and spending time with each other and then there is me in a far away land all by myself. Its not really all by myself, I have friends to spend time with but its not the same feeling as when you are with your real family.

It hurts when I call them, and they can't talk or they are busy. I know why but I want to also be in on the action I want to know what is going on.

Aw well, I need to get ready to go to church by myself...

grocery store...

Tonight I was at the grocery store, and I had my hand on a 2 liter of diet coke. I was trying to decide if I was going to use my coupon to get it tonite or the next time I go shopping. As my hand is on the 2liter a man comes up to me and starts looking at me.. he mumbles something and then I turn around.. He says "oh my gosh, your real, you are so beautiful I thought you were a display" LOL He stood there for a good 3 minutes just in awe! It made me smile :)

well well well...

its been a little while since I last updated. Although nothing really important has happened since the last time. I have just been busy with work, and a little bit of catering. It feels like these last few weeks of school are going to be super busy, which is good. Hopefully they will fly by. I am really looking forward to summer vacation. I can not wait to just relax and recover :) I really have no plans for the summer. I am not going anywhere, just putting around the house. and I am so excited!

18-22 students are doing a veggie lab.. taxes need to be sent in.. and hopefully I get my federal refund!

25-29 students have garde manger lab, big state assessment, cheer meeting, and PROM!

2-6 huge dinner for 200+ plus a catering gig for a graduation party.

9-13 cheer try outs, party on the patio

16-20 seniors take finals

23-26 rest of students take finals, graduations, LAST DAY OF 2010-2011 school year :)

cheer coach!?

Once again I am going out of my comfort zone a little bit to take on the role of a cheerleading coach! First it was a student council teacher now I am doing a coaching position! I am so excited and nervous all at the same time. I use to really badly want to be a cheerleader when I was in high school, but had no chance. Now I am reliving my dream as a teacher. Of course now I have a task of getting in shape!! I am so EXCITED :)

My Spring Break

My spring break has been so relaxing/productive. I have gotten things done around the inside and the outside of the house. Things that I have been putting of for a long time, and it feels so great! I love that feeling of being productive, and thats how I am feeling as the end of my Friday night. The thing I love about spring break is that it is a little glimpse of what my summer will be like, and I couldn't be happier.

I was talking to my mom this morning and my plan of staying in AZ all summer. She realized that I have never really had a summer off doing nothing until this summer. I graduated high school in June and started school that next week, the only real summer I had off was when I graduated from BYU-I and was getting ready to move to Vegas. It was a stressful summer getting things worked out in Vegas when I was still in NY. Summer after that I moved to AZ, and started teaching almost immediately after, and then this last summer, I went away, was robbed and was trying to move into my now house. This summer will consist of lots of "projects" around the house, as well as taking time for myself. I couldn't be any happier and excited :) Now only 9 more weeks of work :)
