Hola people.
Okay, I think it is tradition to start out all my posts with this: SORRY I HAVEN'T BLOGGED IN FOREVER.
Updates:
CPD: Work this summer is......sweetness. Some highlights so far:
I got placed at Creekside Elementary for my student teaching! So stoked. So scared. Probably going to crap my pants when I start teaching (not really). No, I'm going to own it! I got placed in 3rd and 4th grade which are, in my opinion, the best grades.
Me and my family went to Bear Lake a couple weeks ago. It was fun, but there is freakin no beach! And there were a butt load and a half people there.
My Great Grandma Jones died last week:( She was 102 years old! I am going to miss her but she is much happier I'm sure. and I'm sure she was glad to see her lover, Glenn. He died in 1974, so she has been without him for 37 long years. Can you imagine the reunion they had?
She was such a sweet and loving lady. She would greet anyone and everyone with a kiss on your hand or on your lips and a, "Oh how are ya dear?" or "You're so lovely dear."
Growing up I remember all the birthday parties we would have for her every June. She was the glue that kept our families together.
We use to visit her at her house more often than in these past few years, and one specific visit sticks out in my mind...She couldn't see very well, and sometimes she had a hard time remembering all our names. As we went around the room and my mom was telling her all of our names and as she came to Brooke, Grandma said, "Jill? Oh how are ya dear?" We all chuckled, and then as we got to Jake she said, "Oh Joseph, what a handsome boy." And this time we all laughed, even though we tried to tell her again that it was Brooke, and Jake, she was set on Joseph and Jill.
She always looked so pretty and she was classy. It is amazing and crazy to think about all that she lived through. Born in 1909, she lived through WWI, The Great Depression, WWII....EVERYthing. And how amazing it would be to see all the advancements in technology and medicine. Wow, what a life she has lived!
Her legacy is her endless charity that she showed to everyone. I love you Grandma!
Also, wanna know something crazy? 3 of her sisters are still alive and they are in there 90's! Man, somethin must have been in their water, but whatever it was, don't pass it this way. I don't want to live that long!

- Shoveling poop from off the bathroom floor. (I don't know why someone would do that??)
- Opening the bathroom door one morning to see a homeless man jump up from off the floor. Me, Sara and Kirstie ran and hid in our shed. When he came out and passed us he said, "Sorry, I was just, uh, sleeping there." Poor guy.
- Pulling some freakin FUNNY pranks on the other crews....oh man it never gets old.
- Honking at people and waving the other way.
- Blasting Celine Dion in our truck.
