Good-Bye

Today was my last day of work. :( It was one of the hardest things that I have had to do. For lunch Heather got everyone pizza for me. It was very nice of her. The rest of the day went very normal until snack time. I had gotten donut holes for all the kids to snack on. I tried to explain to the kids that I was leaving. Erin and Spencer went into the office and brought back a present for me. It was an apron that has all the kids hand prints on it. Right after that we took the kids on the bus. As I walked back to the class room I couldn't help but cry. I love this place and I love the kids. I am going to miss them so much. No job will ever compare. It was also nice to hear what Jaimee thought about me. She told me that she was used to saying good bye to staff but she was really going to miss me because I was more than the average teacher. She said I was really good with the kids and she loved how I would lose myself in working and playing with them. I hope to visit the class alot and I would love to go out with my old employees.

Today is Chris's last day of work since he is in elementry. Angila said that it would be ok for me to come in and work with his class. It was fun to spend time with the kids that Chris worked with. I got to know his kids by riding the bus, and when they do role in my class. Hanging out with his kids was a blast. I went around with Chris and some of the kids to do role, \and then I went with Karen to do a group. The best was they got out this thing they call the big bounce. It was so much fun to chase the kids and just enjoy feeling like a kid. Then we had lunch so we could head home.

Free Style

Chris and I went and saw my brothers at their wrestling tournament. It was 2 days long and they had several different styles. They both did a really good job. Hayden took 1rst in Greko and and 2nd in freestyle. Stockton got 3rd in Greko and 4th in freestyle. Even though it doesnt look like Stock did all that well were proud of him. He was wrestling kids that were 1 to 2 years older than him and kids that had made state. Both Hayden and Stockton came out a little banged up. Hayden had bitten his tough almost all the way threw, got a mat burn right below his eye, two other cuts on his face, and had to go to insta care to get his cartalige ear removed. Stockton hyper extended his elbow. Awesome job boys!

Starting New

It seem's like so much is changing so fast. Chris is going to go to school at Provo College because they have a Physical Therapy program. He doesn't start untill August but we wanted to get an early start to make our transition easier. Chris has gotten a new job working at Fish Bowl Inventory. He is working with one of his high school buddies, Chade Miller. I got a job at a resturant called Zupas. We are starting to pack our stuff because we also found a new apartment. It is a two bedroom apartment and is only $550 a month not including electricity and gas. The apartment is between both or our jobs, so that will be nice. I'm so excited to move but I am also a little nervous. I love the place and job that were in now. The only flaw with our place now is the smell of smoke is starting to get worse. I am really going to miss this job too. I love the kid's. It is going to be so hard to say goodbye to them on thursday. I am hoping to come out and visit them everyonce in awhile.

Valentines Day 2011

This year we didn't really do anything big. Since we work at a school for kid's we both had a party in our classes. Chris and I got Toy Story Valentine's Day cards for all of the kid's and fellow teacher's, along with dumb dumb sucker's. We had Valentine's party in our classes. The kid's were so cute and so excited. After work we went to the mall and got Hollister T-shirt's for eachother. We also got the movie Despicable Me because we love it so much, It's one of the only movies that Chris can watch more than once without falling asleep during it. It is such a cute show, and we figured it would be a good one to have and watch together. After that we went to Firehouse Subs to eat. That place is pretty good and it wasn't busy at all.

Wrestling Tournament

Hayden made sectional's in wrestling this year. So we went to watch him wrestle to see if he could make state. This tournament went on for two day's. Chris and I worked at the consetion state's with my mom so that we could get in free. My mom and stockton would come and get us if he wrestled awhile we were in there so we could run watch him. My dad filmed and I took pictures. Hayden did an amazing job both day's. Hayden got eighth set in state, then he got challenged by the guy that was in the ninth set. Just in case you don't know eighth set is the last place that get's to go to state. It was so scary, we wanted Hayden to go so bad. He went to state last year as a freshman too. We cheered our heart's out and Hayden wrestled very well. He pinned the kid and went to state. Hayden did well at all of his matches. I am so proud of him. One thing that I just admire about him is that even when he lost he would have great sportsmanship. He would shake the oponents hand or even give them a manly hug, say thanx to the coach and go talk to his coach. He would get tip's from him and then watch the video my dad took and see what he could fix. He is such an amazing kid, good job Hayden.

Grizzlies Game

First we went to Chili's with Chirs's boss Jason and his wife Margaret. The food was pretty good, we havn't been to Chili's for awhile. It was really nice to hang out with Jason and Margaret without being in the work setting. Jason was alot more realaxed. After we were done eating and talking we headed over to the Mavrick center for the Grizzlies Hocky game. We were so excited, we havn't seen one before and we were meeting one of Chris's student's Hunter and his dad. Hunter was so excited to see us. He had no idea that we were going to be coming too. We didn't know any of the rules so we had to learn as we went. It was so entertaining, I think that it is my favorite sport to watch. I think that it also helped that our team won.

New Car

So Chris and I just got a new car. We don't know if we should be excited or upset. The car is a great car, don't get me wrong, but we wish that we would have waited and spent more time to think about it. I'm really nervous for the monthly payment because we have been paying 120 a month and now we will be paying 303. I am excited that we will be able to give my mom the money because she payed for the car. Yet at the same time we just got a school lone and could have payed her off anyway and had no car payment for as long as that car would have lasted. I have named all of my cars. My very first car was Yoda. He was a maroon purple color, and a Toyota Camery. I loved that car but I didn't really think about needing to change the oil so it smoked. My second car was a greenish blue color, his name was braceface because we got in a wreck and now the front has a big black rim. I named our new car the first night we got it. It's name is goldie locks, because it is a very strong gold color so I just figured that it fits.
