A Teacher's Battery Life

So true... and I go back to school in a week!

Bring it on!

I was stalking some blogs and I found something I really enjoyed on my cousins blog. She had a bucketlist of sorts for 2013. I think that is a brilliant idea and I want to try it for 2014. Some of these things are about to happen but I am going to count them because when I look back at 2014 I can say I did ________ during 2014! I want to keep it pretty simple and I want to go with 14 ideas (for 2014) so here they are:

1. Read at least 1 book each month
2. Graduate college
3. Learn 5 New songs on my Ukelele
4. Learn to play at least 5 Hymns
5. Not eat anything after 8:00 (except for special, planned occasions and weekends)
6. Indexing/Family history for some time most week
7. Try a new recipe each month
8. At least 1 get-together each month (attend or host)
9. Get out of Utah for a trip... anyone want to have me come visit ;)
10. Plan my week, or day...
11. Memorize at least 1 scripture each month
12. Temple visits each month
13. Volunteer at the MTC
14. Try something new each month

2013 in review

With all of the 2013 review posts I have decided I should join in. I haven't updated my blog for a while so here goes (By the way, there is absolutely no order to this madness):

2013
I performed (Well, half performed [I got sick]) in my last BYU Lu'au... unless they decide to change the requirements.



I started teaching and have the most adorable class of 28 third graders!

I finished my last college class. All that's left is the internship.

I faced some major disappointments but they worked themselves out in time.

I turned 22 and had a song that I could sing... ;)

I made some great friends and new traditions.

I lost my grandma but she's in a better place now.

I have gained the respect of parents and had some laughs from their kids (Lots of laughs).



I played a massive game of connect the dots (sidewalk version)

I worked my last football game with BYU catering and had some adventures in the tent...



I had some good friends get married (though I didn't make it to all of the weddings).




I got bangs.

I've taught my class in 4 different classrooms, 2 different schools and I got my carpet redone on a Monday while I temporarily taught in the portable (third graders should not be in a portable!)





I have seen some beautiful sights










And last but not least I grew up and bought a car!
