Oops!!

So funny thing happened tonight.  I was in my room folding laundry...the end!!
Just kidding.  Ok so I was folding my laundry but it's not the end.  The family I am staying with was talking down at the end of the hall about their daughters college professor.  Then they said "Those that can't do teach"  Of course I am a teacher so I yelled "HEEEYYY!!"  They all started laughing, as did I.  I thought it was so funny because I have even heard that at my school.  So we had a good laugh about it for along time.
Good times!

Parent teacher conferences

So since I am doing my student teaching I knew that this day would happen sometime, i was kind of hoping I would have a few more weeks to get to know the students better, but I did ok.
My first night of parent conferences was slow, only a few students and their parents showed up, the second night was by far the best night.  I had one mother come with her son, and he is one of those kids that likes to goof off in class and make funny nosies when it's not appropriate and I've been struggling with how to handle it.  So I started off letting her know how he is doing with his work, which is fine just missing a few assignments then I slipped in there that he likes to make animal noises in the middle of class, when it's not appropriate.  She said that he does it at home as well but she would talk to him.  Then she turned to him and said "So next time you'll think before you moo!"  Priceless.  Best meeting of the night.  My cooperative teacher and I were laughing for the rest of the night.

Moving all around

After graduating college on July 23rd, I traveled to Washington for my sisters wedding.  It was a fun week, with Saturday being a hard day to get through, it was my sisters sealing and reception and my dad decided to have a minor heart attack just as we got to the temple.  He was out for the whole day, the thing was we didn't know that's what it was until later that day, after pictures had been taken and my mom had taken him back to the hotel, we really just though he had fallen into a very deep sleep, for the whole sealing.  It was so scary and we didn't know what to do, but he made it through and finally woke up towards the end of her reception and finally got to see his daughter in her wedding dress.  It was a hard day with two very happy endings.  My sister is now married and my dad was able to wake up for part of that day.   Talk about mixed emotions at a wedding.
* I will tell you something funny that happened that day, that made me laugh even if I wanted to cry.  My sisters husband's ex-roommate was there helping with whatever he could help with.  I thought it was so sweet and he really is a nice guy, and of course one of the few guys actually my age there, so my aunt and grandma and my great aunt kept pushing me on him, telling me I should go after him.  I've known him for 2 semesters I told them and if something was going to happen I would think it would have already happened by now.  They just weren't having it, I guess we were flirting back in forth the whole evening (I didn't even know I knew how to flirt, it was news to me).  Then later that as the festivities continued I had no less than 5 people as if he and I were dating, mainly because they knew him but didn't know that he knew Jake and Tabs, they thought he was there helping me out because we were dating.  I had to let them know that we were not dating, I think some were a bit disappointed, oh well, such is life.*
The next day my family (minus my sister of course) traveled up to Alaska.  This would be the first time I get to see where my parents are now living, and there condo is super cute.  If I could afford it I would live there as well, it's got a great view of the water and mountains as well.  Alaska is just the best place ever, I hope I go back again after student teaching.  Most of the time I just watched movies, read, played Wii with my brother or slept.  My mom thought I was bored and that I should get out and do something, what she didn't understand is that I have been going since last April, no stop with school and work and everything.  I wanted and needed this much needed break from life and reality, it was nice to get away from it all.  Though my grandma and aunt were really pushing me to got to the singles ward up there, they really wanted me to fall madly in love with an Alaskan boy so I would move back up after student teaching and I kept telling them that "I'm only here for one Sunday, it won't happen that quickly."  But hey they can hope and wish for me.  I wouldn't be surprised if the next time I came up they had a date set up for me every night.  You've got to love it!!
After two weeks in Alaska and 12 hours of traveling on Sunday I finally made it to my new home.
HELLO!! Murray, Utah.
Next week begins my life as a student teacher, which I'm sure will be filled with heartache, sadness, laughter and hopefully a happy ending.  We shall see!

locked in my room

So last night some how I got locked inside of my bedroom.  It's 2 am in the morning and I really have to go to the bathroom and no matter how many times I turn my door knob it doesn't budge.  I am stressing out and I have no idea what to do. UGH!!
Lucky for me, my parents believe in making sure we are prepared for everything so I had a tool kit in my closet. Out came that kit and it sure did get used.  I ended up taking off the door knob, that didn't help so I spent another 15 min, trying to get it back on without sending the other half out into the hallway, where it would have been of no help to me at all.  (Let's just say I'm glad none of my roommates were up to hear or see me in this predicament)
After putting the door knob back on I thought that maybe I could take the hinge bolts out and just pull the door off.  The first bolt came out pretty easily, the second and third were not coming out easily, they wanted me to struggle a bit...mind you this whole time I still have to use the bathroom so I'm sitting there holding it.  I finally gets all the bolts out and then you'll never guess what happens.
That's right the door is stuck I can't pull it out.  Man I hate my bedroom door!!
So 20 min. later I finally get enough strength built up and I push up and then pull out and it finally comes out of it's proper place and allows me to use my bathroom.  FINALLY!!!  SO that was a fun 45 min. of my life!

I decided to leave the door as it was and just leaned it against door frame so that the next time I had to use the restroom it wouldn't be so hard and it wouldn't take as long.

"Muscle Man"

Leave it to Wal-mart to make me laugh.

So I'm shopping for some groceries with my sister and future brother-in-law, and we were over by the groceries (obviously) and I saw this little older man who was maybe late sixties, early seventies.  In the very top of his cart was the magazine Muscle and Fitness and on the cover of this magazine with this extremely ripped man, and I look at this short, chubby, old man with this muscle and fitness magazine in his cart.  and all I could think about was Bless his little old heart.  At least he has high hopes!!

HA HA

OK so I actually had something make me laugh out loud today on my walk home.  I was walking past the post office as a van belonging to BYU-Idaho was pulling out.  In the van were two pretty good looking boys driving, the driver was doing some funny dance moves and singing along with the radio.  As I pass in front of them and by them I can finally hear what song this guy is rocking out to.  No other than Miley Cyrus "Party in the USA"  That's right this guy was dancing and singing along with 'Party in the USA'  I laughed the rest of the way home.  Hope it made you laugh as well.

My crazy friends

So I have some of the craziest friends, who are always trying to get me further and further out of my bubble, which is good but man sometimes I wish they would leave me in my bubble. On Sunday my sister and her fiance came over to made lasagna and then pretty much my whole apartment sat down to play a round of 5 crowns.  Well as we found having about 9 people play the game is really boring and someone will always go out on the first round, so annoying.  Anyways after we were done messing around with 5 crown, my two little youngin' friends who live below me came up stairs and decided that they were going to call the guy that I had a crush on last semester and we were going to talk to him on speaker phone.  Lucky for me right as they were calling him another friend stopped by so I had to go talk to her and help her out with a small issue, another funny story but not mine to tell. :)

When my other friend left I was ordered back to my room so I could talk to my crush.  As soon as the phone was in my hand those two girls left the room, but then you could see their heads peeking around my door...not so sneaky.  I had fun talking to him and I enjoyed making fun of those two girls because earlier in the day they had come over and takin over my bed, while I was still on it.  Well I had to get up because my other roommates were asleep on our couches but they were late for a meeting, so I to get them up so they could get to their meeting.  I came and laid back down for a bit then decided to do some stuff on my computer and write in my journal, during that process those two girls in turn both feel a sleep on my bed.  It was so cute!  I had to leave them there just because I didn't want to wake them up, I took a picture (I will try and post it).  I told this to my crush and he laughed.  I thought it was funny too, those girls are great and I can't help but love them. :)
