LARGE/HUGE/BIG NEWS!

I gave up on finding a teaching job...

Then...

I GOT ONE!

I will be teaching at Channing Hall Academy in Draper.

7th Grade English.

I am SOOO Excited.

I wanted to teach junior high more than high school so I definitely lucked out.

I start the middle of August. Wish me luck.

Updates to come!

So... It has been forever.

I am surviving without Anthony.. it has been 2 weeks with out him.

Weird.

He has received most of his secondary applications for medical school. (WASTE OF MONEY).
Every school sends you one whether they are interested or not.

But I was a tiny bit excited when he received them from Loma Linda, Dartmouth, and Pheonix. Pheonix and Loma Linda are my number one's. Guess why??

SUN.

It took us 22 hours to drive to Chicago. NEBRASKA IS THE SMELLIEST STATE EVER.

Pictures will come.

Moab & Arches

We went to Arches National Park for Memorial Day. It was so much fun. We went with our friends Natalie, Nate, and Kehly. It was so pretty. I am not going to say much because the pictures pretty much sum up what we did.

If you do go to Arches any time soon you MUST do the Double O arch hike. It is about 3 miles past Landscape Arch. Beautiful hike.


The Colorado River



Our cute campsite.. is cute an accurate camping word?

Anthony, Kehly, and Nate on the way to Delicate Arch





Double Arch

Cool pic from Double Arch

Landscape arch.. You can fit an entire football field under it



Walkeing on a "fin." It was a 100 foot drop off the right and a 50 foot drop on the left.
So fun.




The Double O Arch. See the one at the bottom.
That is double the arch!

So fun. I can't wait to go again!

4 Year Old Wisdoms

So I am baby sitting my two little sisters 2 times a week! It is so fun.

Lucy is 4 months old and Annica is 4 years old.

Annica says the darndest things. She is so adorable.

This week she did some funny things.

1. She told me I had to come watch her bounce on her bed. So I walked into the room and she was bouncing onto her knees and up to a standing position. She thought it was the coolest thing ever. I said, "Wow, you are really good at that."

Annica: "Yeah I have been practicing for years. Since I was about 3!"


2. She had an art show on Wednesday at her preschool and was super excited about it. I asked her how it went and she said, "Oh it went quite well. I will get my artifacts back next week."
She said this completely nonchalantly. I love it. She is so freaking smart! For kindergarten she is going to a dual-immersion school. She will be learning in Spanish.
Soooo Jealous=Me.

Oh The Places You Will Go

WOW. It has been a long time since I have blogged. Hopefully I can keep it up!
In May, since it almost over, we had some good events!

1. I graduated!!!
2. We had our 2 year anniversary
3. Anthony turned a quarter of a century!



For Anthony's birthday I took him on a 5 senses date. What is that? It is so fun.
I got 5 presents that had to with the 5 senses and laid them out on the counter for him when he got home from work. It let him know what we were doing for our date.

Hear: a cd mix
Touch: Lotion. This one was hard... So it kind of wimped out.
See: Movie Tickets
Smell: Candle
Taste: Dinner

It was fun, a bit cheesy, but fun.




Here are some picture of my graduation. I am sooooo glad it is over. Now if only I could find a job.
It have had 2 interviews, but nothing happened. It is a lot of work. One place said they got over 125 applicants! GEEZ.

I personally think I look too young and it throws them off.


Anthony has turned in his Texas applications and is already on to his secondary applications. I can't believe we will be moving next summer. It is kind of sad, but I am ready for a change. It kind of doesn't feel like we are on our own, but that will surely change!

The Wedding


So I didn't get into the whole Royal Wedding thing, but I looked at some pictures today at work in my absolute boredom... And I am obsessed with this picture. It is 100% perfect.

I think I will hire that photographer for my next event.

My April fools joke.. I let him believe it aLL Day. He stared at a wall for 30 minutes.
It was EPIC.



Anthony decorate for my BDAY!

I made this!

My Easter Garland... Made from Paint Samples.
My cousin (2nd cuz but whatever...) made it, so
I copied.

Anthony studying. He wears this so he can't hear me watching Grey's Anatomy.

He is sooo funny.
This is why I love him.



So I graduate this Friday! I am freakin out!I am so excited. You are all invited to a BBQ.
my house. 3p. FRIDAY.
I didn't do announcements. Please come!

I have had 1 official interview. It was today at Westlake. I thought it went well, but my hopes aren't up. I don't think I will find a job, which is depressing.

Anthony begins applying to Texas medical schools on the 2nd of May. The rest of the schools' applications go out June 1st. I have been talking about this moment for 2 years and I can't believe it's here.
Wish him luck! EEEEEK.
