Happy Birthday Dylan

My nephew, Dylan, turned 4! (Well he really turns 4 on Tuesday but we celebrated today). He got a transfomers cake, lots of transformer toys, clothes, and some trucks. He leaned against the cake and got frosting on his shirt but he sure did enjoy his cake! He's such a funny little guy. He hurried through his presents cause he wanted to get his cake topper (another transformer) off. I think he had a great time!

Homecoming Parade

Every year the dance group I teach for is in the parade. This year I was fortunate enough to get the chance to choreograph the routine (again I guess. We switch off years usually). They danced to "Don't Stop the Music". It was a little chilly at first but warmed right up. Then my mom, Jason and I went to breakfast, another tradition only usually it's the whole family.

USU Homecoming Dance

I've been attending USU for about 6 years now, yes sad I know, and I've never been to the Homecoming dance before. So this year I talked Jason into taking me! Shayna and her boyfriend Brady and Megan and her boyfriend Clarence came along as well! We went to dinner at Iron Gate Grill and then headed up to the dance. It's somewhat different from highschool dances but a lot the same. There were about 4 rooms playing different kinds of music and we got to dance a lot so that was fun. Then we headed over to the A to become true aggies! Finally! ha ha. All in all it was a fun evening.

It's quickly approaching...

Since graduation is going to be here before I know it, I had my wonderful mom and awesome (also free) photographer take some pictures of me at USU for my grad announcements. I can't believe I'm almost done. Not that I haven't enjoyed the last 5 years, slaving over homework and studying or not studying, but it will be so nice to have a hard earned degree!

Student teaching has really opened my eyes, so far. I love teaching. It comes so easy to me. I'm not saying it's not hard and I don't ever struggle, because that happens on a daily basis, however seeing the bright side of everything and wanting to go back every day is something that is always with me. I have really taken to my daily routine. I have learned so much more this semester than I have in my entire time spent in my secondary education classes. It is such a real world and wonderful opportunity to put to work all my knowledge and hard ships from my education. I'm half way done and I'm enjoying it. Not that I'm not excited to me done by any means!
