lack..

I have a lack of motivation this evening. I really need to snap out of it, I have way to many things I should be doing! grrr

Sweet Sunday

Its been a wonderful weekend ending with a beautiful Sunday. I am becoming more and more grateful for the weekends. This has been the first weekend that I haven't been super busy with 100 things to do, traveling, or having to take a test. I enjoyed every second of it, and wouldn't do anything different. Yesterday I watched the RS broadcast and was overwhelmed with love for my Savior. Today I attended church with a friends family, they both had to talk so I sat with the kids and held a newborn. I couldn't help but look at him and long for my own children. I know eventually the day will come but I want anything more to have my own family and teach them the gospel. I end this weekend tonite with homemade banana bread and an episode of Extreme Makeover Home Edition, I seriously love that show, I love the impact and change they make in others lives. I hope as I continue to teach that I touch a student or at least make a difference in their life. Its been a great evening to a wonderful weekend.

Fall

Heres a pic of my lil craft I did tonite.. Its toilet paper pumpkins.. So cute!
I love love love fall, to bad I live in Arizona where it is almost October and still 110 degrees! Although it is warm I am reminded everyday how lucky or blessed I am for an amazing life...I honestly am not sure I could be any happier than I am currently. I will be heading to NY for a few days in just two weeks.. Until then I have lots of work to catch up on and get ahead of. I am happy that I am able to go back when the colors are changing and everything is brisk :)

Cute Diaper Cake

Everyone knows I always like a good deal.. Well I have to go to a baby shower tomorrow, and I wanted to spend very little out of pocket... So I decided with all of the random baby stuff/diapers I get free or very close to free I would attempt to make a diaper cake.. Well I did and I am pretty darn proud of myself.. I did spend more than I would have liked BUT I bought way to much and will have enough to make 2 more for 2 of my students who are expecting! Onward with buying random baby stuff/diapers!

Crazy Times...

The night before I left NY.. my fav people came to pick me up to get some ice cream from king kone, my all time fav! Right before leaving to go I got a very distrubing call from the maintence man at my apartment! My apartment had been robbed!! Talk about a way to ruin an amazing night.. Pretty much they stole :
*32 inch Flat screen TV
*Dell Lap top
*Sony lap top
*wii
*gps
*bag that looked like it was coach but it wasn't..
Then my lovely apartment manager gave away my packages!!!!
*ipod nano
*pack newborn diapers(got them for free with my coupons)
*big pack of baby wipes (got them for free with my coupons)
*2 paint samples from Gideon
Yeah that apartment complex was no good.. But the good news is 5 months later I have moved into my beautiful NEW HOUSE!

home sweet home...

I have been in NY, which was once my home since the 10th of June. I leave to head back to AZ later this week, and I am ready to suck up that dry heat. Boy oh boy I am not sure how I ever survived the humidity here. Some days its sticky and yucky, and other days its cold! I sure do miss that dry heat...

While I have been home I have had a great time. Soon after arriving I got my hair did by the BEST hairstylist ever. Lacey lived down the street from me and owns a lil shop in town. She is seriously the best ever. I also managed a trip to Rehoboth Beach Delaware with my fav. Aunt. We only had one really good day at the beach but none the less we had a wonderful time. I also scored a free teeth cleaning from a friend of the family. I have seen many people I haven't seen for awhile and I am just truly enjoying my time with my mom.

I found out that the bank made a counter offer on my house.. I accepted the offer! They were just asking for $1,000.00 more so no big deal. Everything is moving right along. Thank you for all of the encouraging words and prayers :)

I am in the process of making a pie.. my least favorite thing to do.. So I will make sure to update soon!

Summer Vacation

Still no word about the house, altough its ONLY been 2 weeks. They say these can take anywhere from 3 weeks to 3 months. It sort of feels like I didnt even put an offer down, let alone am working to buy a house. I have had some pretty good dreams about getting the keys and converstations with the real estate agent. I am hopeful!

This is my last Saturday of the school year! I am so excited to be done with this school year. It has been eventful, a little more challenging than last year. Which is hard to believe with all that I had on my plate last year. I am just glad it is almost over. I have had a few thank you cards from some of my seniors, thanking me for teaching them skills that they will forever use. It feels SO good to hear that you are really touching their lives! Teaching is so hard, but when you actually see the changes in kids lives it makes it SO worth it! I hope that I can save up for a Scholarship that I can give to a student each year, to use to further their education.

My summer is going to be jam packed with lots of traveling and hopefully moving :) But trust me I will be doing a lot of reading, sun bathing, and just relaxing. Thursday I should be done with school by noon, after which I will put on my swim suit on and soak up those UV rays!
