It's been a while since I've updated this and now I have found myself with oodles to say. Get ready for a long post....
So this week has been interesting to say the least, but a happy week for sure :) I don't even know where to begin. Perhaps in efforts not to turn this into a novel I will just briefly summarize. Wednesday I taught my first gym class. It was kind of a train wreck because everything that could have gone wrong basically decided to do just that. Can I just say how glad I am that it did though? It really reaffirmed my decision to be an elementary school teacher. Even after all the the stress, anxiety, and frustration, I walked away with the biggest smile on my face. :) I love being around kids. They take all of your cares away and find every reason to smile and laugh. That is definitely one of the most important things to have in life, lots of laughter. Basically, I am going to need to marry a man that makes me laugh :) Anyway, it was just so so fun! And....I get to do it again this Wednesday! I can't even imagine how much more fun it will be now that I will actually know what I am doing!
Thursday was rather uneventful from what I remember, but it's late so I could be forgetting something extremely important for all I know. Friday was a crazy busy day all day. I went to classes, practiced for a play I am performing in, practiced singing a song for my ward talent show, (I fit a tiny bit of homework in there too) and I finished off the night with a date. I went to watch my FHE sister play her cello in this beautiful orchestra performance. The music was absolutely beautiful! Music is my life :) I imagine you would like to know how the date went as well so I will fill you in a little. I went with a really nice guy who I have a lot of respect for. (He's the one who taught me about the expression "Oh Life" haha :D long story and really you had to be there) Anyway, he showed me a good time and I would hope he enjoyed himself as well. I don't really know what else to say besides that. Basically it went well, I think, and it was a great way to end the night. :)
Saturday, was supposed to be a great big study day, well.....I really tried to study, but I got super distracted and didn't get as much done as I had hoped. However, I got to visit with some really fun people from my ward and spend some time with some people I hadn't seen in a while. I also got to spend some time in the temple with one of the sweetest girls on the planet earth so I would say the day wasn't a complete loss :)
Now for today, what a roller coaster let me tell ya! It's been good though definitely. The things said in church today are exactly what I needed to hear. I am so grateful to have the gospel in my life. It teaches me things almost minute by minute and I love it :) I also got to end tonight spending time with some really incredible people in my ward. We laughed and shared stories and some yummy homemade bread too. I don't ever want to forget this time in my life. Yes it has been hard and confusing at times, but the growth and joy is completely worth it :) I love being me :)
Just for fun, here are some pictures from when my FHE family carved pumpkins :)


I loved how every other sentence was a smily face :) Glad you are so happy!
