So I went to NYC in April and I had a blast!!! I was only there for 4 days but we hit all the big landmarks and had a blast! It really is a concrete jungle and sooooooooo different from what I am used to. If you haven't been to NYC you need to go!

Happy Mother's Day:

Where do I even start with my mom! All I know is God was really watching out for me to give me my wonderful, beautiful mom! She is amazing in every way possible. I wish I was more like her. She is patient, kind, compassionate, intelligent, and most of all full of love. She has always known what's best for me, even if I didn't know it myself. She is the first person I turn to with problems as well as success. She is not only my best friend, but also my idol. I have not been the easiest child for her. She had me when she thought she was done with having children at the age of 41, and I came out her biggest baby..........breaking her tailbone from long hours of labor. Mom, thanks for putting up wih me and for being the most amazing lady, that I thankfully get to call MOM. Love you!

For Easter I went home to Ephraim to see my parents. My brother and his wife Jane and their baby girl Halle came, it was really fun. We spent a lot of time outside looking at new baby lambs because my niece loved them. Honestly, there is nothing cuter than baby lambs they are so sweet. Anyway, it was fun to get outside and around nature for a change. Easter was wonderful this year and I really am thankful to have such a wonderful family to go home to! Hope you all had a nice Easter as well!

Happy President's Day!

Don't ask students why they are late!!! Note to self!

So I just learned a very valuable lesson today don't EVER ask students why they are late for class. I had a student walk in about ten minutes late which rarely happens in 7th grade so I asked him quite sternly why he was late. He then proceeded to tell me that he had an upset stomach and major diarrhea that he had to take care of! GROSS! I did not want to hear that and not only that he didn't care that the entire class heard! Do I laugh or try to think nothing of it? I just turned away and tried to control myself because I couldn't believe that this kid was willing to be so honest! Too honest! Anyway, I will not make that same mistake twice! Maybe he should learn when to tell his teacher a little white lie for sake of having more self pride! 7th graders.....they never cease to amaze me!

If you haven't seen this show you need to go see it! I loved it........especially watching Channing Tatum the entire time!:) It will make you cry but it's great! I love cute movies.........I know I am such a girl!
