Countdown

Only 5 more days until the big move. I cannot believe that I am leaving Rexburg. It has been such a huge part of my life. I have so many mixed emotions. Sunday was the first time that I shed a tear about moving. I will really miss it all and all the incredible friends and memories i have made. I wish I could list everyone but you know who you are. I am going to keep this as non-sentimental as I can so I don't shed any more tears.

We still have no idea where are going to live yet, but we have a month and a half. We are hoping to find a house and we know that it takes time so we are planning on staying at an extended stay hotel until everything goes through. Wish us luck!

If you are not busy saturday morning at 9 o'clock, we would love the extra help to load the trailer and clean up. Or if you do not have time to help just stop by to say Bon Voyage! We would love to see you!

I'm done!!!!!!!!!! My time spent at:

has come to an end. I cannot believe how fast the year has gone by. There are definitely things that I would do different, but it was my first year and you live and you learn. I am really going to miss the students, sure there are a few that drove me to insanity but it would not have been the same with out them; Adam, cammy, Ray, Cassandra, brittnie, rogelio, michael, serenity, kulicke, rafe, ross, just to name a few. I will always remember them though. Below are just a couple pictures of some of my students.

Hannah, Brittnie, and I. Hannah, I don't know where to start. I just love her. Brittnie, when she isn't talking or in a crabby mood was one of my best TA's.
Karen, my rodeo girl, so easy to tease. Karen you know I love you!
Serenity, how could I forget her. One of the most talkative people I know, yet somehow always pulled off straight A's. She was one of my best TA's
Miranda, one of the sweetest, hard working person I've ever met. She is so strong and always willing and wanting to help others.

There are so many others that I could go on and on about. However, I don't have enought time or any other pics. I wish I had one of each of them. There were so many amazing kids and I hope that they realize how much they have taught me. I didn't think that leaving was going to be that hard. As I grabbed my bag and turned out the lights I stopped and looked back at the empty desks. A flash of memories went through my mind. Tears began to start but I held them back and said goodbye to a time in my life I will never forget. However, as I said goodbye to one of the teachers I fell apart. She told me just walk away. She said just go get in your car and drive away. So I did, but the tears kept coming and sometimes when i think about it they come back. Blackfoot High School will always have a special place in my heart as well as the students. You all mean so much to me. I hope that you were all able to learn something from me as I did from all of you. Know that I love you will miss you all.

Colby's Birthday

Sorry, I know this is a little late but better late than never.  Colby had his 25^th birthday on March 8^th.  He said that he wanted a Turtle Cheesecake.  Funny thing is he didn’t even know what a turtle cheesecake was, he just thought it sounded good.  So like any good wife, I made it for him and added my own little flare to it.

I made chocolate butterflies!

Then I put them in a cupcake pan to curve the wings a little bit.  Then stuck them in the first to get firm.

Ta da!!! But I added the topping before it was completely cooled.  Boy was it yummy!!!

                                   Look!  I got him in the act of blowing out the candles!!

Probably his favorite gift was his mom made of book for him of his mission.

Oh, I snuck a birthday kiss!

I love youbabe!
