4.0 BABY!

So I just thought I would do a quick post about school! This semester was my first one in the Education Program! It was so time consuming and definitely the hardest semester I have ever taken! But I LOVED EVERY SECOND! There were times when I asked myself what the heck I was doing, but deep down I really loved learning everything I did. I absolutely loved field, and I know I have chosen the right major for me!!

After all the time, effort, tears, hardwork-- it paid off! I just received my grades and they were all A's!

4.0 BABY!!! I am so excited and so proud of myself for sticking with it. 7 classes and 16 credit hours!!
i made it!!- and can't wait til next semester!!!

Day #3

day 3- a picture of you and your friends

Top- Kelsi and I.. This girl and I go way back. She truly is an amazing person! She has been my best friend for a long time, and I dunno what I would do without her!

Middle- Bainter and I. This kid and I have been friends since we were 12, but just recently started hanging out lots again. He seriously is an inspiration to me! He is one of the strongest kids I know. He always knows how to make everyone laugh. He is so caring, and that is why I love him! :)

Middle- Lacey Lu and I. We met through friends, and ever since our first road trip together we have been best friends. She is amazing! She is always so willing to help and to listen no matter what! Thanks for everything Lace! Love you!

Bottom- Suz and I met at UVU. We were in the same math class and at the time had the same major. Ever since then we have been best friends, and she is AMAZING!!! Thanks for everything Suz, love you!!

I know I have missed adding a lot of friends on here! I just added some of the first photos I found- and I am too lazy to add more! I love all of my friends, and I am truly blessed! Thanks for everything ;)! Love you all!

How did I get SO lucky?!

Today is one of those days where I have been just sitting around thinking- Why you ask? Probably because there is like 3 feet of snow outside, my car is covered, and really I have nothing else to do today (:

Have you ever just asked yourself "How did I get so lucky?"

Today, I have been asking myself this question- I have amazing friends, an amazing family, higher education, going into a major I love, etc.....

Its just a thought I had today! I love feeling this way- and truly life is going so great right now.. I have had kind of a rough month- with a lot of trials putting me to the test but ya know I can't complain. Those times truly are making me a better person and Look they only led to GREAT times..

I am thankful for everything in my life-- including those reading my blog!!! (:

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!!! (:

Thankful!

Lately I have been reading so many facebook posts and blog posts about what people are thankful for! I thought it would be fun to do a little post to say things that I am thankful for:

• My Family- honestly without their love & support I would be nowhere today! (of course I have to give a shout out to my main little man-Kellon! Love you buddy)
  
• My AMAZING boyfriend, Dustin- I love him so much! He is honestly the greatest! Lately has been a crazy time in both of our lives, but yet he still puts up with me :) I couldn't thank him enough for sticking by me! He gives me so much hope- and makes me a better person everyday! I love you Dustin!
  
• School- no matter how tired I am of school right now I am so thankful to have an opportunity for a higher education! I cannot wait until I am graduated!


• My sixth grade class in field- honestly these kids are so awesome! They are great kids, and they make me so excited to become a teacher!


• Dustin's family- Even though it has been awhile since I have seen everybody they are always so welcoming towards me! They are so nice and loving! They honestly have a great family, and they are so caring! Plus gotta love the little ones- Trev, Macie, Trey, and Ry! :)

These are just a few things that I am thankful for! I am thankful for so much more, but it would take all day to post this! I cannot wait until Thanksgiving, and then after Thanksgiving there is only a couple more weeks left of school. I cannot believe I will only have 3 more semesters! CRAZZZZZZZY!


Life has been crazy and I have not posted in OHHH SOOO LONG! SO here is a little run down. Well deer and elk hunt were unsuccessful this year! Although, I did not fill my tags I had an absolute blast going out hunting with Dustin and my Step-dad Heath! It really was such an awesome experience. Thanks guys! Hopefully I will fill my tags next year! I did; however, draw out for a cougar tag! I cannot wait for this hunt! Hopefully it is successful!

I have been doing my field experience in the 6th grade all this month of Novemeber. This week my partner and I actually got to teach the children our own lesson plans! It has sure been an adventure, but all of our lessons have turned out GREAT! I know everyday when I go into that classroom that I chose the right major! I absolutely love it!

Anyways, I hope everyone has a FANTASTIC Thanksgiving! :) Happy Holidays!
