11 Days and Counting

Day 1

Today is Day 1. My first day without a job. Friday was my last day teaching for who knows how long and it is very bittersweet. I have loved my career. I did have one year of it where I didn't know if I could do it another day, but in retrospect, I loved teaching. Friday was a day of tears (from girl and boy students alike) and a whole lot of tears from me. I knew that the reality of it wouldn't hit me until today...when I knew that everyone that I love at that school is there and I am sitting on my couch at 10:33 with no real purpose to my day. So what do I do? Blog-hop! Is there any purpose necessary when you find such a task? In my search, I found something I hope will be instated nationwide.

Made My Day

So, I just saw this and couldn't help but post it. Oh the things babies will do when Beyonce enters the mix. Enjoy!

To the Bookworms

When I was a junior in college I made a list. It was a list of secular books that I wanted to read at some point in my life. Over time I have slowly tackled the books on this list, slowly but surely, one title at a time. Often months or years would go by without a single book being picked up from this list. I was over at Scott's picking some things up and my eye caught the title on the shelf and I just took it. Without even asking. It is Their Eyes are Watching God by Zora Neale Hurston. The first book on my list. I have to admit that I had a hard time getting into it, but once it was going, I felt a desire to be like the main character. I hope that my life is NOTHING like hers, but the way she handles it is admirable. To anyone who desires to read this book, I suggest it even for the experience. It is written in black south vernacular which makes progress slow and it is hard to get used to, but it is kind of like Shakespeare. The language becomes normal after a little while. One more suggestion, after you finish, go back and read the first chapter again. It will make alot more sense. Enjoy!

The Update to Top All Updates

Many have wondered why the heck I haven't blogged in so long (I would call 7 months long myself) and since it has been an eventful seven months, it is time for an update. The reason I have not posted about any of this is because I didn't want to jinx it. So, without further ado....I'm engaged!

To this amazing man.



His name is Scott. I will give you a brief rundown of the past year (yes year).

Scott and I met at a friends house one random Monday night last July. I thought he was cool. He helped me roll my trashcans up my driveway. The rest of the summer made things difficult but we were pretty content to be friends. We went on our first date on my 2nd day of school and the day before he headed back up to Provo to return to BYU. We spent the next 2 months or so talking on the phone for 2 or 3 hours a day and enjoying getting to know each other. We didn't officially become a couple I would say until February. Keep in mind he is still in Provo and I am still in Vegas. He came down to visit several times and I went to Utah conference weekend. He came back to Vegas at the end of April to start his internship and we haven't left each other's sight much since.



We got engaged last night and it was perfect. Traditional...just how I like it. Word has travelled quickly thanks to my brother. We are planning on October 24th, even though it isn't set in stone yet. I love him SO MUCH and it is kind of surreal to think that this could actually happen. I was beginning to think that it wasn't in the cards. I will be sure to keep everyone updated now that the time of the jinx has lapsed.
