Student teaching!

I love student teaching! Things are amazing here and I couldn't ask for a better mentor teacher! I do miss home though. It's crazy to think that we're done with school and starting a new chapter in our lives. I just want to get a job and start teaching already! Bubba is doing good in the heat. He's tired and sleeps a lot more, but he loves being outside. We live about fifteen minutes away from a dog park so I take him there to play. He thinks he's a big dog and can play like they do! I like Vegas more then I thought I would. We live by tons of convinent stuff. And my school is only five minutes away. I went to the temple last Saturday by myself, brett was working. The Vegas temple is gorgeous and I highly recommend going there! I was a little rusty remembering things though! haha! And it's only five minutes away from my house:) We still don't know what we're going to do after this summer. There's opporunities here, Cedar and Arizona. So we'll see were the path takes us. We hope to find out soon. My birthday is next Thursday and I'll be the big 22!!! I'm getting old! Hopefully Brett has something fun planned:)

Graduation!
























































Saturday brett and I graduated!! And on Friday we had dinner with President Monson!! We sat so close to him. I kept staring at him!! I took photos on my phone so I will post them later. It was so amazing to meet him. I started bawling just standing next to him. It was so crazy!!! The spirit was so strong in there, it was intense! Graduation went by so fast. And there was a picture of me in te spectrum!! I look funny, but I will post it anyways! And now we're in Vegas and I started student teaching today. My mentor teacher wasn't there because she had a death in the family, so I went to a second grade class with a teacher who was an SUU graduate. She's an amazing teacher!! It was so good to see someone who went through what I went through! And to see her put the stuff we learned into action. The day went by so fast! Which is a good thing. I got to teach a center and help individuals on a math test. I did a lot of graded and fixing the students bubbles on their math test. I really want to stay in that class for my placement, but oh well!! She's a super fun teacher! Brett is in ogden this week for training for living scriptures and I'm all alone in a new house!! But I have bubba:) I will let everyone know how student teaching goes! Wish me luck;)
