callings

Chris and I have a calling together. We are teachers for the 6 and 7 year olds. So far the girls are very sweet and the boys... well lets just say that they LOVE starwars. It is really nice to be working with Chris I just wish we still had the 3 year olds. They were so cute and such sweethearts, I miss them a lot. I know this is were we are supposed to be though. I am excited to see how things play out.

My 19th Birthday

Chris picked me up for work because it was his day off. He asked me if we could just go to the stor and get me something for my birthday because he didnt have time to do anything for me because he had to much homework. I was alil bummed but I understood so I said yes. We got home and when I opened the door and the dinning room was all decorated with streamers, flowers on the table, confetti, 2 cup cakes, and 2 rapped presents. My heart skipped, it was so cute, i couldnt stop smiling. It made my day to see how much time of thought Chris had put into something for me. He is so amazing, I am such a lucky girl. For my birthday he got me a new ipod (mine doesnt work unless its plugged into my player), a full outfit, a swimming suit (bikini ;)), and a key chain that says LOVE. Then we spent the rest of the evening together.

Carmen B. Pingree school for children with autism

I now work at a school called Carmen B. Pingree. Chris and I both work here at the school. Chris works with the elementary kids and I work with the preschool kids. It is the best job ever, there is never a dull moment.

You have to have alot of patients sometimes, we have sessions with the kids were we teach the kids what they need to work on in different areas. Sessions can be hard if they don't want to work. Sometimes its feels a lot like babysitting because there is diaper changing, and disciplining but we also get to do fun things with the kids. In my class we have done things like water day, feild trip to look at birds, painting, ext. Chris's class has gone to the dollar theatre, walks to get slushies, bounce gym, ext. So all the hard work pays off when we get to play with the cute kids.

Right now we dont have school so a lot of the time it doesn't really feel like we are working at all. We get to color, cut, take pictures, things like that that you wouldn't think of as work. My class room's theme is a jungle. I am so excited, we have a pet snake named Charles. Chris's class room isn't finished being built so we have no idea what is going to happen in the next few weeks. His classrooms theme is from the "brown bear, brown bear" book.

We have now been working here for 7 months, this job is amazing. It is emotionaly and physically draining but we love the kids. We have both gotten to know the kids in eachothers classes. They are all so much fun. One of the kids in my class is moving out. It is so sad and he will definitly be missed. Work as been hard money wise, the 2 week break kinda set us back plus we have been having car problems one after another lately but we will be just fine.

Up date

Things were still bad at Firehouse. I was still clocking in and off all day if I even went in at all. I have been doing a lot of job hunting and I finally got one. I am now an employee of Cowabunga Bay. I am a ride attendant, I get to tell kids when to go down the slide, and occasionally blow a whistle. I'm pretty excited. Now that I have a job Chris wants to look for one too that is a little closer to home. We are saving gas because I can walk to work but it would save more, plus he is getting sick of driving around all day. Who can blame him? I also went into this school that works with kids that have autism. I am going to try to work there for when the summer is over. The park closes after the summer so I will need a new job, and working with special needs is what I want to go into for my career anyway.

Baseball

For Memorial Day weekend Chris and I went to hang out with my family. We spent Sunday night at their house. We didn't pump our air mattress up all the way so we sadly didn't get a good night sleep. The next day we went with them to see The Prince of Persia. It was a pretty good move, Chris really liked it. He used to play the video game when he was little. We got back went to grandma's house and had lunch. So yummy!!! :P Then....LET THE GAMES BEGIN.
The family was split into 2 teams and we played against eachother. Poor Sarah though... Chris hit the ball and it went toward Sarah she tried to catch it and it bounced and hit her in the face. She is a tuff girl though, she shock it off. Some people could hit really far, we were worried one of our cars was going to get hit by the ball too. It was tonz of fun, everyone was messing with eachother and stuff. My mom was picking up third pass and running away with it so we couldn't get on it. Chris said that he wasn't good but low and behind he could hit and catch. Our team won! It was 20 something to something teen. What a great game!

OUCH!!!


I was trying to make some pizza for diner. I was pulling the pizza out of the oven, I grabbed it with both hands but carried it with one so that i could slide in the oven and close it. When I was doing that the tray leaned towards me and burnt my arm. It hurt way bad, it was stinging. I put it under warm water and put a band-aid with neosporine on it. The next day it was a big bubble. That didn't last long, that day the bubble got ripped off. So now it is red and.....I don't want to say green, thats gross, but it pretty much is green.

Dating

We love going on dates together. We try to go on one once a week. A lot of the time we will do a double on Friday or Saturday and which ever one we don't have it on we do another date just the two of us. Some of my favorite dates was when we went on a walk together around or apartment. The other day we just walked around the mall and looked at things. That was lots of fun. We also have a few board games that we play together. Movies are always fun too. Going out to see movies is nice. We went on saw Robbinhood a few weeks ago.
We like going on double dates with Margaret and Tyson Johnson. We went ice skating with them. It was pretty funny because Chris and I caught on really fast, with Tyson and Marg on the other hand were going pretty slow and holding onto the wall for awhile. Chris and I were even trying to do some tricks.
We have also gone to Boondocks with them. We got a discount because it was D.A.R.E. day. We did lazer tag, golf, and race cars. It was so funny because Chris and Tyson kept saying how they were going to ram Me and Margaret. We went on the same one awhile Chris and Tyson got their own. When it started Tyson caught up to us pretty fast, so we rammed him into the wall until he sped up past us. Then Margaret looked back and saw Chris behind us. We were both freaking out cause we thought that they planned to trap us and sandwich us or something. We were both screaming and trying to go faster. Later we found out that Chris just got a really slow one and Tyson got a really fast one so it wasn't planned at all.
We like to hang out with Stephanie and Jeremy Dowse if we can ever get a hold of them. They are always busy and when their not we are. Just bad schedules i guess. Anyway we have gone swing dancing with them, which was a lot of fun. Jer taught us some cool lifts to do. It's hard to tell you about it, we would have to show you.
We have been on lots of other dates but they don't really have stories to go with them so I will leave I wouldn't bore you but we love our fun date buddies.
