Fact: I have the coolest students ever.

Random Neural Firings

I've made cinnamon rolls twice in two weeks. Healthy choice? Probably not. Delicious? Absolutely.

Last weekend, we made a quick drive up to Idaho for the annual Halloween Cousin's party. I was Mrs. Potato Head, and I almost convinced Brad to go as Mr. Potato Head. Brad got poked in the eye moments before the picture, which is why he has only one eye opened in the picture. It was a fun party complete with lots of family and tons of good food. The other day Brad called while at work. He told me he thought he might have a hole in his pants. This is what the hole looks like. Notice that nearly my whole face fits in that hole. How long has he been wearing those pants to work?

Broadcasting

School is flying by this year. First quarter is already over! It's both good and bad. Good because there are only three quarters left until summer is back. Bad because it's getting darker and darker every morning. Usually the sun is up by the time I make it across town, but these days, school starts before the sun is up.

My broadcasting students broadcast announcements every morning, and then once a month they show a special 15-20 minute show for the school. We still have a long way to go, but I think they're doing awesome. Here's a sneak peak of a shortened version of tomorrow's show. And if you're interested, YouTube Homecoming Commercial 09 to see my favorite of their movies so far.

School days

I’ve successfully made it through eight days of school. I only have 172 to go. Just like last year, all of my students try to guess my age. Some think I’m over 30. Some ask if I’m 19. I never tell. I just smile and let them guess.

One of my students was in my class last year, so when his classmates started guessing my age, he said, “She’s 26. I know she is.”

And when the students asked how he knew, he said, “She’s four years older than her sister. Her sister is 19. She has to be 26.”

The class didn’t question his math. They all think I’m 26. 19 + 4 does equal 26, after all.

Happy Anniversary to us

We've been married for one year (and two days), and we still like each other!

Must Read

This is what Brad and I are reading together currently. Laugh if you must. We do. We think this book is hilarious.

Lake Powell

Last week was the annual Goodsell Lake Powell trip. This year was the year of fishing. I'd like to brag about all the great fish we caught, but our fishing abilities caught us a lot of carp. Mmm... garbage fish. (Don't worry. We didn't eat them.) A few people caught catfish, and Brad caught a sunfish. It was a really nice, relaxing week. The rest of the family already posted pictures of the trip, so to truly capture our adventure and our beauty, see their blogs. :)
