I loved this picture of Michael in my Grandpa John's arms when he was born. I'm grateful to know that they can be together now, probably working hard as missionaries!

In Memory of Michael
Late Friday night my cousin Michael was killed in a car accident. He was 16 years old and it was completely unexpected. It has been hard for my family, and I can't even imagine how his family is feeling. I am so grateful for the gospel of Jesus Christ that we have in our lives and for our knowledge of the Plan of Salvation. What a blessing it is to know that families can be together forever! He was a sweet amazing young man. I am making a slideshow of pictures of him throughout his life for his viewing and I am grateful for the chance I've had to be reminded of what a beautiful, happy life he lived.

a few things I love about Spring
Babies
Blossoms
(I couldn't decide which picture I liked best...so you get to see all of them!)
And semesters ending!!
These pictures are of all the students that have been in the Block with me this semester. After being together from 9 to 4 every weekday we have been able to get to know each other pretty well!
These are the shirts we designed to remember our semester. We were going to wear them when we went to schools to do science days, but they didn't come until last week so we actually only got to wear them in a school once. I think they are quite funny though. We each drew a self-portrait of ourselves and they were displayed on our shirts like this:
See the resemblence? :)

...continued
Ok I have some more details that I knew before but my mind is racing and I can't concentrate so I forgot to mention them...but I want to. :)
First of all, I don't know what grade or school yet. Hopefully I'll found out soon because I feel a strong need to be prepared so I have just been looking up random stuff for every grade level! haha. I have a job right now working as a "research assistant" for the Dean of Education and we are setting up a website to help first year teachers. It's perfect because I can look up useful stuff and use it!
Second of all, after the first 12 weeks (which will count as student teaching) I will get paid full salary and benefits. I am slightly excited about that bit of information.
As soon as I have updates, I will share them.
Thank you family and friends for being wonderful and sharing in my excitement with me!

attention everyone!
I have some big news!! Some very big news! (No I'm not engaged yet.... :) )
I made the decision about two weeks ago to apply for a teaching internship in St. George next year. The day they came to interview I had no idea they were coming and felt very unprepared. Luckily I had dressed up for an interview I had later that day so at least I looked decent. I ran to the computer lab to print off a resume and felt like the interview went ok but it was really short! The other girls who interviewed are really amazing so I really didn't think my chances of getting a position were very good. I was debating about where I wanted to do my student teaching, trying to figure out what to do with the next year of my life, etc. Well, this morning I got a very unexpected phone call letting me know that they have positions for every one of us who interviewed!! So that means next year I will be teaching my very own elementary class!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I can't even believe it. I think I'm in shock. Kind of nervous. Very excited. Kinda nervous. :) That's all that I can think of to say right now. I'm not sure it has processed in my mind completely yet.

April showers bring snow sculptures and b-day bashes!
April is a good month. Yes I seem to have a billion assignments, interviews, and tests as the semester is drawing to an end, but it is ok because there are so many wonderful things going on!
First of all, it's finally getting warmer! At least one half of every week feels like Spring! The other half feels like winter with snowstorms galore, but hey I'll take what little warmth I can get! Besides, March and April snow storms have proven to be excellent snow sculpturing occasions. This year we decided to try a stegosaurus. Yes we know it looks like an iguana.

Second of all, we celebrated Casey's birthday last weekend! He will be gone on a geology fieldtrip the day of his birthday so we celebrated a week early. We had a bbq at my house and the cupcakes I made actually turned out quite delicious!
Our friends little boys had a great time "tricking" Casey into coming outside so they could silly string him. They were in heaven!
I have been wanting to get Casey some basketball shoes and my wish came true when I found a pair of Converse shoes on sale for a really good deal. I couldn't wait to give them to him, so I was kind of glad we got to celebrate early. I probably would have spilled the beans and ruined the surprise if I had needed to wait any longer!
My mom and dad got him a new basketball to go with the shoes. He has been having a great time enjoying our gifts!
