Julie's Wedding and a BFF Reunion

Sweet Julie and I have been friends since the moment our families moved to Edwards AFB, CA our sophomore years of high school. We were lucky enough to become friends with the best people around. Between soccer, volleyball, golf, student council, and state science fair, we became the best of friends. Julie got married a few weekends ago in St. Louis, and what a party it was! {I love that Baker family!}

I jumped on a plane early Saturday and was reunited with these great friends for the weekend! Sue and Parks made it from Texas and Bri Lee from Vegas! {I almost couldn't take it, I was so excited to see them all!} We celebrated Julie and her new husband, Eric, and I couldn't be happier for these newlyweds! I am so happy they are just in Colorado so we can see each other more often now! {Especially with her parents, General Baker and Ms. Robyle, moving to Hill AFB out here!}
I can't wait for the next wedding so we can all be reunited again! Congrats to the Schortmanns!

Full swing...

This weekend we are celebrating Kevin's second week of being back in school and my third. School is definitely back in full swing for the both of us but oh how we love this time of year! Football season has started, the mountains are starting to turn red, yellow, and orange, and we are enjoying the cooler weather!

Here's a quick look at my room this year. It was so nice to leave so much up over the summer and this second year is already so much easier. I love my new, darling students, and adore seeing my old students when they come and visit each day!

Sweet treats from SWEET students

Kevin's first flag football game of the season!

Resting after the game!

Best of Luck

I was lucky enough to have the best bunch of friends while being at BYU, and as the summer ends, and friends of mine are moving on to bigger and better things, I can't help but think of all of the fun we've had over the last four years...

I'm so excited for these moms, [in just a few weeks! :) ] the Boston PA student, the UCF PT student, the grad student, [within the year] and the missionary! I've been well taken care of these past few years and I feel like a proud mom thinking of all they have accomplished and will accomplish. I'm looking forward to a very sweet reunion in the near future! Provo misses you... and I miss you more! Best of luck in all of these new adventures!

Summer 2012

Today was the first official day back at school for all teachers in my district! Summer vacation is one of my favorite perks of being a teacher and we cannot believe the summer has come and gone already! We have had a WONDERFUL summer filled with fun trips, time spent with family and friends, reunions, sun, and relaxation! Though we are sad summer has come to an end, we are excited for this upcoming fall with the weather change, BYU football, fall festivities and treats, a new and FINAL school year for Kevin, and another great year for me at Westside Elementary! Here's a quick recap of all the fun we've had this summer!

Orem Softball League! :) Such a fun team!
