Updates

I was hearing some complaints recently that I haven't updated the blog in awhile especially with any "real" news, it's only been two weeks, people.

In the last two weeks...

I had a birthday!  It was a nice birthday, nothing too big or too little either.  I'm pretty sure I bugged my roommates because they kept asking what I wanted to do for my birthday and I didn't have any real plans or wants.  I woke up to my roommate making me some breakfast and, as usual, I was walking out the door as late as possible, so she put it in a container and sent me on my way.  My students gave me some balloons with a little gift bag of random items they know I like.  My co-worker treated me to lunch with Jimmy John's.  I was able to talk to a few family members on the phone and some of my best friends (Laura and I ended up talking for an hour or so).  Once all the roommates got home, we went to dinner at California Pizza Kitchen (my favorite place to eat--I've had at least 2/3 of all of their pizzas).  We each got a different pizza and swapped some slices.  We even got their chocolate souffle cake with a vanilla bean sauce--I don't normally ever get dessert at a restaurant, but ever since I tried this one, I get it every time!  So now I'm another year older and wiser too.

I finally got my car last Friday.  I'm still getting used to it, but I'm really loving it.  I'm still working on a name for it, but Aleisha suggested "Toothless" (like the dragon), I'm pretty sure I'm leaning towards that one unless something else pops out when I get the license plates.

School is still going well, but I'm now counting down the hours until Fall Break.  I really like my class this year, but I get real frustrated with math every now and then which is sad because that's my favorite subject to teach.  We're still working on it and things are getting better, hopefully--we'll see how they do on their test tomorrow.

I have a new calling...I'm now the Relief Society president in my ward.  This last Sunday I spent six hours at church and then immediate came home and took a two hour nap.  It's a good thing that not every day is like that.  I'm excited for the calling, I have a bunch of ideas popping up.

I had a plant marble fight with some friends in my ward.  We had about nine gallons of marbles and filled up a small kiddie pool...maybe I'll get some pictures soon.
