HALF WAY TO THE END...

So, normally I wouldn't put two posts on one day, but I felt like these two needed to be separated. First things first... my oldest nephew turned 9 today! WEIRD!!!! Second... Well, it was time for midterm evaluations today and WOW! I have gotten one 3 and the rest 4s.... Pretty amazing! Especially since my supervisor said he hardly ever gives 4s! Basically this means that I've been doing pretty darn well! Only 6 more weeks! YEAH REALLY!!!! THAT'S IT!!!!! I'm way excited... I have a unit to plan (my work sample) and then well, basically I'm free clean! It will be nice! :D LIFE IS GRAND!!!!!

WHO DAT!

I am a hard core Saints Fan! I will admit it until the day I die. So, yesterday I came home and went to my parents basement and got ready to watch the Saints in their first ever Super Bowl! I was soo excited to watch it on my parents big screen and way excited that many of my friends were rooting for the same team as me! I converted them all to the proper team! It was an amazing game that had me off my seat and in tears during most of it... especially at then end when the saints pulled ahead by two touchdowns... at this point I knew I was in Heaven... there are a few stories I would like to post as well...

The Saints won this on 4th down, 4th quarter, with 44 secs left, at 8:44pm... this was the 44th Super Bowl, Obama is the 44th President (who cares about this though lol), there are 44 days from Christmas to the Super Bowl, the Saints franchise is 44 years old, today made 4 years and 4 months since Katrina, it took the Saints 4 minutes and 44 seconds to win in overtime during the NFC game!!! WHO DAT!!!!

HELL FREEZES OVER lol
Boudreaux died and was on his way down to hell. In anticipation, the Devil turned up the thermostat to make it extra warm for Boudreaux. When Boudreaux arrived, the devil asked, "Hey Boudreaux, how do you like it down there?" Boudreaux says. " Mais, it's just fine.It reminds me of summer on the bayou." That made the devil mad.That night, he turned the thermostat up all the way it could go.Man it was hot! When Boudreaux woke up, the devil asked him,Now how do you like it down here?" Boudreaux says," Mais,it's fine. It reminds me of August in Lafayette." As you might expect, that made the devil more mad.Well, that night,he turned the thermostat down all the way it could go!The whole place frosted over.Icicles started forming from the rafters.When Boudreaux woke up, the devil asked him, How you like it NOW,BOUDREAUX? Boudreaux, shivering, through blue lips, says, Mais cher, I'm one happy Cajun!" The devil was infuriated! He yelled,"What do you mean you're one hapy Cajun?!!! Boudreaux, still shivering says, "The Saints done won the Superbowl!!!!!

Saints won... 31-17!!!! I was very happy!!!!! BLACK & GOLD MARDI GRAS!!!!! <3

Student Teaching and the beginning to a new chapter?! Well, almost

Wow! Where do I begin! I started student Teaching on the 4th of January, and the first two weeks has been quite the experience! I come home basically exhausted! However, I'm having wonderful days! I love my cooperating teacher and have a feeling I will really like my university supervisor as well. When I met him he seemed like a really awesome fun guy! The students are fabulous even though one student's dad works with my dad and half of the kids are in my parent's ward! CRAZY! However, even though the district is a little different I still love everything about my experience! I am going to the Bay View Singles Ward right now, and it seems okay. I really miss the BYU-IDAHO 26th Ward. It's just something about being in one ward for so long that after you leave it... you seem kinda lost every where else! I'm looking for my spot here, but it's kinda hard because I'm so busy with student teaching and most of the people around here are younger and go to either Weber State or U of U! It's kinda weird knowing that all of my friends are in Idaho and I'm down here. Of course then I also face the problem that the guy I like is in Rexburg too, and I just kinda have to get over things. However, I don't want to at the same time if that makes any sense at all! On another totally different note... Jonathan gets off his mission on Tuesday... WEIRD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yeah, I'm just a little freaked out by that because it's been two years, and even though I wrote him tons it's still a really weird feeling! I'm not sure what else to say... more updates later!

Said good-bye to Rexburg?! NOW WHAT?!

Well, yesterday I had my commencement in Rexburg, Idaho with Elder Richard G. Scott as one of the speakers! It was way cool, and I must say very inspiring! It still feels really weird to me to know that I won't ever be going back to BYU-Idaho for school. I'm student teaching in Bountiful, Utah.. and that's about as far as it goes right now! I get to see three of my sibs this week! Two BEST FRIENDS next week, and am trying to do about twenty things at once! For the next 3 months I will be living out of boxes and it feels EXTREMELY weird! I didn't cry when I left, but it feels like I just left a whole life behind, and not like I did when I left LA either! Anyway, I did have a ton to say, but I can remember it now... so that'll do!

HAVE A VERY BLESSED AND MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!!

One Week...

Oh yeah, that's right... This is the LAST WEEK of Rexburg, Idaho for me! On Saturday I will be leaving not to return for a while! See, I graduate on Friday... kinda... I will be student teaching next semester at Meadow Brook Elementary in Bountiful, Utah teaching fourth grade! :D I'm way excited about this! Things couldn't get better, but I am really happy that everything is looking up for me! I am a little sad about leaving this place, but I know the things that lie ahead in life will work well for me! I'm excited to take on the adventure of Student Teaching, and then what ever else is in store for me! I must be getting to bed now... tata!
