Student Teaching

Well the bitter sweet ending of Student teaching is finally here. I say bitter sweet because I am so excited to be done with college and to be able to sleep in past 6:15 for the next two weeks, but I love teaching the kids and love what I have been doing all semester and hate to say goodbye. Also now I just have to walk right into real life, looking for jobs, and I won't get to teach anymore.
All every teacher wants is to be liked by their students and I found out today that I was liked. It felt so good all week to have students telling me that they didn't want me to leave, that I was their favorite of the day, and shower me with gifts. I got a box of doughnuts, sparkling cider, a flower wand thing, about 5 hugs from students in every class (including some freshman boys), and a few gifts from my cooperative teacher. It is just nice to know that I will be missed. That tells me that at some point in my teaching I did something right. It is so satisfying being a teacher and I hope that I can find a job somewhere in Utah.
Oh by the way if you didn't hear, Ethan just got a job with Overstock and will be starting in the next few weeks. We feel very very very blessed and are grateful for all the prayers in our behalf.

Shags and Shara

Today we were going through our summer 2010 pictures and really started missing Rich and Shara. This is just a quick shout out to some of our only Provo friends. Miss you guys.
