Love is a wonderful thing..

I think its kind of funny that about four people read my blog. I guess that is why I am so personal. I want my family to know how happy I am. I really never thought I would ever feel this happy. I really truly hope and believe this happiness will last. Life has its up's and downs, but in general having a good attitude and a happy soul make it so much better. I can't be more greatful for the man brought into my life right now. I guess you can never predict the future, but I see one with him. I hope things go as smooth as they are right now into the future. He is just the person I want to be like. He has so many awesome qualities. He brings out everything good about me. I also love the fact we were friends first. That is the only way to date now in my eyes. Hopefully I wont have to worry about that anymore. Well, I have rambled, but my heart is very full this morning. I have an amazing life!

Pumpkin Time

SO, Nic and I were feeling a bit on the wild side and decided to carve some pumpkins. They turned out pretty cute..but mine was better. It isn't the best view of the pumpkins, but you get the idea. Mostly I had to show off my man. Look at those muscles...that's why I love him of coarse :-) Again we had a great weekend. I swear just when I think it was the best weekend ever another one tops it off. We spent every spare minute together friday, Sat, and Sunday. We can't stop glowing.

My New Jeans..

So today is my last day of school for the week. We had parent teacher confrences the last two nights. I am spent. After Parent teachers I got a bee in my bonnett, and bought $100 pair of jeans. For all of you who don't know I recently lost 20 pounds in the last 2 and a half months. I have been working with a trainer, and eating like a health nut. It has paid off though, because I am still dropping. Anyway, they are a size I have not been in a long time, and I have to admit they make my tush look pretty darn good. That is my one of my areas that have a lack of bounce to it (Flat and wide in past). It is improving and getting a bit perkier, but according to my trainer she wants to get another 20 pounds off of me, and I am sure it will be up to my shoulder blades by then. Yea baby! I just feel amazing this morning. Tonight Nick and I are going to an 80's butt rock band. I got a tank top just for the occasion. I love that boy......sigh. We couldn't hang out last night because we are both so darn busy, but we did manage to talk on the phone for 45 minutes..it only seemed like five. Time flies with him. I am such a lucky woman!~

Finally Pics...Chris..:-)

So I have pics up...there are so many more..but I included the ones with Nick in them..since some of you are very interested

What is up with my face?

Again...What is up with my face??

My Hot Date at the dance...

THE DANCE

These are some pictures from the dinner before the dance! Me and some of my students...cute!

Most AMAZING weekend ever!

So, let me tell you about my weekend. Now, I can tell you about my guy. We have been friends for while, but about a month ago it started to turn into something more. His name is Nick, and we have worked together at 24 hour fitness for over a year. He is a personal trainer...aka..Mr. Buff man (you should see his muscles!). At first he was a little shy, but this summer he couldn't stay away from me at the front desk..:-) Then, I couldn't shut him up!! Well, he would say he can't shut me up, but that's ok. So...we started to date. It was very natural. It has been the best dating experience I have ever had. He is just amazing in everyway. We had the best weekend together. We spent about 30 hours straight together. Now, that is a record for me for sure. I drug him to the high school dance with me. He was a champ. I actually got him to bust a move on the dance floor. We even snuck in a few slow dances. I don't think I have slow danced with anyone for a long time. Sunday we spent all day eating, working out (he kicked my butt!), and just relaxing. I think I met my other half....:-). SHHHH..don't tell, but I think he feels the same way!

I am in Bliss

So, I am sitting here being super unproductive as school comes to a close for the day. I pretty much have one thing on my mind, but I can't say just yet what it is. This weekend is going to be a blast! Tonight I am going to my high school's home coming game. I seriously hope we win. I went to last weeks game and it was very sad. We lost 7-42. The word on the street is that they will pull it off this game..we will see! I am going with my friend Mel, and trying to drag another along. My friends are not so anxious to go back to high school, but I live in it every day. On Sat I am going to Chaperone the home coming dance. Yea ha!! I decided to make the best of it, and arranged for some of my peer tutors to go stag along with some of my students. We are going to have blast. Sunday...well..........I can't say yet..but I know I will be sharing it with someone who shall remain nameless at this poing. However, I do know it will be an amazing time...just sitting around is amazing with this nameless person...ha ha.........

Last Friday.........

So I was brave and took all my students to the state fair. The pics are just kind of random of some of my students I took with my cell phone, so they are not high quality by any means. Going out in the community is a way to teach social skills to the students. Sometimes it is very counter productive when all they do is fight, complain, and blow all their cash. As long as they have fun, that's all that matters to me!

My life

Well just to update everyone. I currently live in Midvale, Ut (that is the SLC area for all of you non-utah people). I have two jobs that keep me very busy. I teach severe special education at a high school here in Midvale. I also get the opportunity to teach peer tutorings as well. They are regular education students who get to get to help tutor my students for a grade. I am around teens ALL day, but I love it. I also work the front desk at 24 hourfitness on some nights, and weekend. This is my fun job. I love going to work. I am friends with everyone I work with. I am very greatful for both jobs. There have been many friendships created from both jobs, and can't imagine my life with out some of these people!
I guess I don't get the idea of blogging, so I decided to try it out! Most everyone that I associate with has one! They are all married, and blog about their kids & husbands, and other random family activities. I on the other hand have no kids, and last time I checked no husband. However I do have many school children that I am in charge of on a daily basis, and also a new signifigent other, so I can subsitute! My activities day to day really don't vary all that much, but sometimes I feel like I live in a comedy. My students are hilarious and very dramatic. I try to keep a sense of humor about it all. I would not make it through my job if I took anything to serious. I really do love them like I would my own children. I am the mother hen of them all here at school. I am very protective of how they are treated at school. We have a blast some days, and I think wow I am getting paid to hang out with these amazing children. With that said..I love to ramble, and I am doing it AGAIN..ha! More to come...........
