My life the past couple weeks...

I started teaching at Joel P. Jensen Middle School this past week. Let me just say it is such a blessing. I enjoy teaching so much, and I'm so excited to get better at it. There is so much I have to learn! I'm the long-term substitute for the real teacher. She just had her baby this week. I teach 6 coed classes of PE and 6 classes of Health, every other day. It's a nice mix up--one day in the gym, the next I'm in the classroom. The school is very diverse and I have two ESL learners in my last two periods. I have never had the privelege? of teaching boys before. They make things very exciting/interesting and it's sometimes a bit challenging keeping 8th grade boys under control. It's weird to think I'm actually starting my career; doing something I actually like and went to college for :)

I'm living in Murray, Utah in a house. I haven't lived in a house since I was like seven years old. I get to park in the garage two weeks out of the month, which is extremely unique for me. I have three wonderful roommates: Stacey, Kira, and Carrie. We are all in different phases of life but we get along great. I am blessed to have good roommates, since last semester I struggled getting along with mine. The ward is very friendly. I still visit Provo regularly, in fact, before I started my job I was going down there everyday for work. I finished my job up at Independent Study after 3.5 years on Tuesday! It was actually pretty tough saying goodbye. One thing I've noticed about me: I like to keep things constant in my life. I lived at Raintree for 4 years, worked at IS for 3.5 years, and Provo for 5+ years. It's crazy to think that I finally moved away from Provo and I am now starting my "real" life. Whatever that means! I'm interested to see where life takes me from here. Sorry if this is boring--I kind of don't have a lot to say right now. Thanks for taking the time to read! I'll post some pics soon.
