WE GRADUATED!!!!!

Not much more to say. We graduated from BYU in Physical Education and Business Management and we are pretty excited. Now Ethan is working for Overstock.com up in Salt Lake and we are moving to Holladay on Saturday May 7th. Exciting times at Wing home right now.
Graduation was really fun. I got to walk with Ethan It was the weekend of Easter and we were able to see pretty much the whole family on both sides which is just awesome. We love seeing family. It was so much fun. Lots of games, lots of noise, lots of food, and lots of memories!!!
Oh and one more thing, despite the pictures, it was FREEZING!!!! Do no be deceived!!

Share, me and Ethan right before graduation (the zipper on Ethan's gown got stuck and we couldn't zip it :)The family that could come. Those kids were such troopers, thank you DS, which apparently is still more exciting to Alex than taking graduation pictures. Dad, don't drop Ainser!!!

So it wouldn't be graduation without the traditional cap throw right?
Attempt one....


Attempt two...

Attempt three....... well you get the idea.



And three days after graduation... we are that much older and that much wiser!!!
How this child size helmet fit on Ethan's head no one will ever know!!

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.

Clogging!!

I got to clog at a Timpview assembly with the teacher that I am working under. It was really really fun to perform again and it was fun because Ethan saw me dance for the first time. I am really out of practice but it was really fun.

Rex Lee Run

Yesterday Ethan and I ran in the Rex Lee. Out of 1500 people Ethan and I both placed in the top 100. I got 4th over all for the women and 1st in my age division!!! It felt so good to race again, even though it was a fun run :) (PS they messed up the results and so I was given a 3rd place ribbon. I only got 4th by 3 seconds too!)

Puzzles

So recently I have discovered that I love puzzles. I don't love really really really really hard ones, but I do love to put together an occasional puzzle. Here are some I have done this year and last fall.

The End is Here

After 5 years of BYU basketball, my career has finally come to a close. It is a bitter sweet passing though. Ethan and I have never missed a single home game and are sad to finally hit the reality that we now will have to watch the cougars from the comfort of other people's homes (because we all know that we are not going to buy cable). 5 years of basketball, all within the comforts of portal V for vicotry (all but one because we were coming from a soccer game and my friend didn't get the memo).
I wish I could explain to you how much BYU basketball means to the Wing home. Every year to get into the game, you have to go 2 hours early to get a good seat. We did this. This year we had to go about 5 hours early to every game because all the fake fans finally jumped on board and realized that Jimmer was good and that Jackson could steal the ball!! Welcome freshman, PS next time you come to a game, don't wear your high heels!!
Anyway, that is a lot of standing in line. Will we miss that? NO WAY!!! Will we miss the panic of maybe not getting a seat, of saving the seats while one of us had a game, the few times that we had to cut in the line to get into the Marriot center, the panic of finding a way to get Ethan into the Marriott cetner because he had work and the student section was full? NO WAY
However, we will miss the personal realationship that we have with the Cougars, not just because of Jimmer this year, but all of them. Trent, Lee, JT, Jackson, Haws, both Collinsworths, Loyd, Jimmer, Anderson, Davies, Coach Rose, Miles, McGregor and so on. We love them all and will miss them immensly. We love BYU basketball and hate to see it leave, but every senior must graduate!! Go Cougs!!!
