I never I thought I could have so much fun this week! It was diffenetly who I stayed with that made it that much fun:) I love those girls! We stayed up every night till midnight or later giggling and talking about everything and anything. Poor Daniel. He stayed with us too! My placement wasn't the most fun thing ever, but I got to see things that I haven't seen before. I was in a ELL classroom. Which means we taught kids who's first language wasn't english. I finally witnessed my first IEP (individualized education plan)! It was very interesting to learn how they ran there meetings and write out their plan. Monday night we had a bbq at the park and some of us played volleyball and it was a blast. We had so much fun! But the sand really hurt our feet. Tuesday night we all went to the Virgin River and ate at the buffet, watched country line dancing, played bingo and went bowling. I didn't win any money at bingo, but my friend next to me did! Lucky girl.. Bowling was hilarious too. My dear friend Monica had an interesting encounter with some guy with an accent. Long story short, he pretty much liked her body and wanted her to know! Priceless. I don't think I've ever laughed so much in my life! But the best news that came out of this week was I got a call from Mesa School Districts Special Education Director! After playing phone tag, we finally talked and their interested in me and she wants me to fly to Mesa for an interview!!!! I'm so super excited:) And the Leavitt Group wants to fly Brett down there for an interview too! So we arranged it so we flew down there together. The Leavitt Group is paying for his ticket, a hotel and a car to rent for the two days that we are there! Hopefully the district re emburses me for my ticket! But it seems like life as a funny way of figuring it self out. All of the pieces of our puzzle are finally fitting together and I couldn't be more happier about it. I was extremely heistate about moving down there, but I had a really good feeling when I was down there. Oh and another awesome thing that happened was we figured out the situation for this summer. So Brett is going to a manager for Living Scriptures and sell that this summer. We also get to pick out where we are going to live for the summer. So that will be nice. Hopefully we can find something close to the elementary school I'll be student teaching at. Another piece to our puzzle that we found a place to fit it. I was so over whelmed by all this good news this week:) I just thank Heavenly Father everyday for the many blessing he has given to us. He knew when the best time for us to figure this out. Anyways I promise I'll get those pictures on sooner then later.

So we are leaving for Phoenix this weekend! I'm excited and nervous. I hope it's a great place, because we will probably end up moving there. I'm nervous to talk with the school district though. Hopefully all we go well. Well I'll keep everyone updated on the situation:) Oh and I'll post pictures because my wonderful friends told me how!!

The Simple Life

http://thecutestblogontheblock.com/facelift/twoheartsbannercopy.jpg
On Saturday, I went to lunch with my friends from high school. I just love them so much:) We talked about old times and what's going on now. And as I was sitting there I realized how simple life used to be. Living with my parents, not really worrying about money or school. And knowing that when I came home food was there and so was my family. But now life is different. I took for granted those times and I didn't listen when people would tell me that things would change. It's the same way for so long that you don't think it's going to happen. I wish I could go back and cherish those moments. Especially with my friends. I didn't believe that we would all go our seperate ways. I thought we would be friends forever. Sleepovers and all. But as we grew apart, I just let it happen. I now wish that I would of kept us together no matter what happened in our lifes. I just miss everything. Life is crazy now. And it all happened so fast. You don't realize all you have until it's not there anymore. I know you shouldn't have regrets, but I do... Well not regrets just dang I wonder what would of happened if I had done that differently. For some reason I thought high school would go on forever and nothing would change. I guess I just feared it. I miss that simple life, with no regrets and your friends and family at your fingertips. If I could go back knowing what I do now, how totally different I would do things. I guess the reason why this all came up again is because soon I will start a new chapter in my life and change is coming. I start getting comfortable and then something happens. I'll be graduating soon and moving to Henderson, NV. But after that I'm not sure what's going to happen. I hope to know soon. You just think that your whole life is planned out for you until you have to start making your own decisions and that's why life gets complicated. Everything in my life has been planned out until now. And I'm torn on what to do. But I know everything happens for a reason and things will turn out for the best. Even though right now it seems crazy, I need to trust in my heavenly father to guide me down the right path. He knows whats best for me and brett. I mostly just want to tell my friends how much I love and appreciate them. They really mean the world to me and I couldn't ask for better friends. I hope we continue this lunch tradition so we can catch up more. I sure do miss you guys:)
