Not Quite Sure About This

So right before Michael and I moved out East, I started receiving "Field and Stream" magazine. The first magazine that I received had a large picture of a worm on the front. I have no idea how I got signed up for it. I thought that after we moved, I would stop receiving this magazine. However, I was wrong. Somehow they got my new address, and have continued mailing me. Then just last week I got a small envelope saying, "We're looking for people to test hunting products". I started laughing thinking that they wanted me to test their hunting gear? AS IF!

I left it sitting on my entryway table for a few days. Then today, I decided to open it, and I got the most exciting surprise! I was being invited to be a member of the North American Hunting Club! They gave me quite a few stickers, one of a deer, a badge holder, a bookmark, plus much more! LOL

I thought people would get a kick out of this...they obviously don't know me!

So, I guess that something or somebody is trying to tell me what my next hobby should be...

I think my sis, Ash, would really go for it! :)

Valentine's Day

I had a wonderful Valentine's weekend...

Michael sent me flowers and chocolates to school (picture below). It was awesome! I also had a student who gave me a sweetheart that she wrote I (heart) Math on.

Even though Mike had a big test on Monday, we still were able to have dinner on Saturday. It was perfect.

Then on Monday I went shopping and got some great stuff! We also went to a fondu party and had an awesome time!

To top it all off, Mike got a great score on his test on Monday!

We are having a good time out East even though it is so cold!

White Coat Ceremony

I forgot to post this a little while ago when Mike had his "White Coat Ceremony".

I LOVE being a teacher!

My students took a test this past Thursday. This test gives me an idea of how they'll do on the state testing in April, so it is very important that they do well. I gave all my classes goals for how well they should do, and as a reward they would get a party on Friday. They all made it! I was so proud!


The best part was that two of my classes brought in Guitar Hero for the party, and I got to play! They were so impressed by my expert level! Sometimes I feel like an 8th grader myself...


I also had some students make me a cookie. It has an 'L' in it, and was HUGE!! I like to think that I am their favorite :)!

It is FREEZING!!! Sometimes I find myself dreaming of living in California....

So it has been a few months since I posted...I'm not very good at this blogging thing. However, I have been snowed in my apartment for the last 24 hours, and I got so bored that I decided to write a post!

I will just outline our last few months:

I started my job, and love it! It has been very time consuming, but a lot of fun. I like to quote Michael Scott to Mike, and say that I am an "entertainer first", educator second. That's not really true, but I am having a good time!

Michael has completed his first semester of medical school, and did amazing! I am amazed at the amount of work and dedication he puts into his studies. I sure know that I couldn't do it. I have gotten used to only having a few hours with him in the evenings, even though I don't like it!

Michael thought life wasn't exciting enough, so he tried to make our lives more interesting by getting two kidney stones, one on each side, at the same time! We were at the ER quite a few times!

I decided that it was time to get in shape the past few months, and started exercising. Some ladies in my ward put together a run (because most of the runs are on Sunday), so I ran a 10k. I am so proud of myself because I HATE running!

Over Christmas we went to Utah, and Mexico. I've attached some pictures...we got a new camera from my parents for christmas!!

A special thanks goes out to Mom, Dad, Max and Karen. We had a wonderful time in both Utah and Mexico!

Ashley had her baby, Keagan, and I would post pictures, but I think that we took all the pictures on Ashley or my Mom's camera. SAD!!!

And here is our AWFUL SNOW!!!
