The Belated Chicago Post

Well, we got back from Chicago exactly one month ago! So here is our trip mostly in pictures!

On the drive... Nebraska is FLAT. I can see logic in the 1600's theories.

I thought I was going to die of heat.

On the way home... Still flat.

The formatting isn't work.. I'll fix it soon.

Zombie Booth

EAnthony got an app an his phone that turns you into a zombie. It makes crazy sounds and it is pretty dang scary. When you put your finger on the screen it will bite it and shows blood on the screen. I wish I could put the video of it, but you know... technologically challenged over here.

My Little Gals.

I have been baby sitting my little sisters for about 3 months now and it has been very fun and sometimes quite stressful.

Little Lucy is quite a handful. Annica is an angel. She entertains herself quite well when I have to focus on Lucy. We color and paint and we even made homemade playdough... don't do it. NOT worth it. She didn't even want to play with it because it was so gross.

Lucy HAS to be held all the time, but Sage has this awesome carrier that Lucy can just chill in front of me. It is good. And Lucy loves the stroller so we go for long walks to the park where Lucy falls asleep and Annica plays at the park. Then we go get the Ice Cream!

It has been fun and definitely made me want my own little ones!

I love Tanner. He is the perfect dog..

Lucy can be extremely sad or happy... sad when you are sitting down.

She likes to be up high..

Playing Hopscotch!

Playing her recorder.

Whether or not she knew how to play I don't know, but it sounded good.

Sorry about the picture quality. They were all taken with my phone.

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!
