Hooray!

Well, the event I have been counting down for has finally arrived...summer break is here! I am so excited to have some time off of work, so I can get some things done that have been neglected. I am going to do some scrapbookings, since it has been quite some time since I've done that. I've also decided to amp up my domestic side, and try to cook some new things (as in new types of dinners and such.) Any ideas, because I currently have none. I just thought it would be fun to try.


Sure, I have some things to still do for school ( such as move all my things from my old classroom into a new one, and teach a bit of summer school.) But for the most part, I'm done for a few months. Hooray!


In addition to not having to work, I get to go on a vacation this week. Tracy and I are going to Oregon to visit his mom, grandma and aunt. I have never been up there, and it should be fun. We are definitely planning a trip to the Tillamook factory (it's the best cheese around!) I will take lots of pictures of the things we do, and try to blog about it. We'll see...


On a different note, today was a nervewrecking day for both Tracy and me. I had to talk in sacrament with my Young Women's Presidency (yes, I'm in Young Women's for anyone who didn't know.) I get extremely nervous when I have to talk in church. Actually, any type of speaking terrifies me. Of course, this is only the case when I'm speaking in front of my peers. If I'm in front of a group of 100 elementary schoolers, I could care less. I'm as calm as a cucumber. But throw in some adults and I'm a jittery mess! Anyway, my talk was quite short (since there were 5 of us speaking) and it seemed to go well. Nothing to worry about, I guess.


But, I did mention it was nervewrecking for the both of us. Today, Tracy had to teach a Gospel Doctrine Sunday School class. Yep, it's his new calling. He was very nervous, and everybody's comments about how tought that calling would be didn't help. But he did great! I was very proud of him. He looked like a pro up there.


Well, I suppose that is all for now. Hopefully you will all hear from me again soon! Happy Summer!

My exciting weekends!

Well, I was told that I need to blog for reasons other than just holidays (if you look at my old posts, it's true, most of them are holiday related...my life is otherwise boring!) Anyway, I decided I would let people in on the secrets of my weekends. For the most part, they are all quite similar. Let me tell you what I did today:

1) Woke up around 8:15 (not as late as I'd like, but I couldn't go back to sleep.)

2) Watched some DVRed shows, such as Wheel of Fortune, Jeopardy, Friends, Law and Order (the first few are kind of silly...yes, I love my game shows!)

3)Finally got in the shower around 10:30.

4)Went to Walmart at noon with my sister, her husband, and their son.

5)Went to my sister's house and spent the afternoon there being lazy (my favorite thing to do!)

6) Went to the hospital so my sister could see if she was in labor (very exciting! And no, she's not in labor.)

7) Had a fun barbeque at my oldest sister's house.

8) Came home and blogged.

Yep, now you see why I have nothing to blog about. My life is currently not very exciting. But I love the things I do. I will keep an eye out for things that I can actually write about, so people WANT to read my blog! (any suggestions?)

Very old picture, but it's a classic!
