Can You Believe It...Two Years!

"In the enriching of marriage, the big things are the little things. There must be constant appreciation for each other and thoughtful demonstration of gratitude. A couple must encourage and help each other grow. Marriage is a joint quest for the good, the beautiful, and the divine." - Elder James E. Faust

David and I just celebrated our two year anniversary. I am grateful for a husband that works so hard to give his all to making our marriage wonderful. We have learned a lot along the way about each other, selflessness, sacrifice, and fun, and the most wonderful things life has to offer. And to think...this is just the beginning!

To hallmark the event, we took a weekend trip down to St. George to escape the rainy weather here in Provo. It was a great getaway. We were grateful for another opportunity to take advantage of the beautiful UT landscape as we hiked at Zion Park once again.

Lately At School

It is pretty surreal to think that I am about to finish up my second year of teaching. I loved my time at North Point Elementary in the Alpine School District. I have been able to work with great administrators, GREAT teachers, wonderful parents and, of course, AMAZING students. Teaching 2nd grade has been a steep learning curve, a challenge at times, a bundle of laughs, an enlightening experience and overall...the best! Here are a few pictures to capture what we have been up to lately over in room 139!

Last year I initiated a 2nd grade walk-a-thon. It was a success. We did it again this year and had a great time!





We celebrated our learning this year with our end-of-year 2nd grade program!


Pirate Day... "ARRRG"

Mother's Day Afterthought

My sister, Lisa, sent us this video that someone dedicated to their mom all about how science says mom's are great! All of the biology nerds in our family enjoy this sort of humor.
