Christmas break is finally here and I am actually in California now. Creighton is joining me on Monday after he works this weekend. It's fun to be home with all of my brothers and sister--minus Logan who's on his mission. Hopefully now that I am home, and not worrying about school, it will finally start to feel like Christmas--just in time huh?!

Believe it or not, but this week I received a nice pie in the face from one of my students!! They did a food drive at school and if the students brought in enough cans they got to pick a teacher from each grade level to get a pie in the face. And I was the lucky winner. It really wasn't too bad, and the kids loved getting to see it. They were quite hyper afterwards, but it was the last day before Christmas break, and I'm sure they'll remember it forever. Creighton video taped it, but I don't have that with me here in Cali, so here are some pictures for your enjoyment :)

Thi is one of the girls in my class. She was picked randomly from the kids in my class who have never gotten in trouble this year so far!!

This is one of the teachers from my grade who helped "guide" the students into picking me for the pie"ing." He didn't think I can handle. I am mean seriously--it's just whip cream guys!!

There's the pie!!

What a beauty queen huh?!! The kids all asked me if it tasted good. I told them that I didn't eat any of it, but it sure made my skin feel nice and creamy :)

The Start of Something New...

I've been checking blogs for the last 2 years now, but never felt that I had anything worth while to post, and so I've been content with checking others. I figured that once we had kids, life would be more interesting and I would have pictures to show--things like that. So, I actually subscribed to this blog page over a year ago, figuring I would start it up officially when I was ready. Well, we don't have any kids yet, nor am I pregnant, but I decided that this would be a good way to document what goes on in our lives, whether it is exciting or not. I don't want to forget the things that happen in our lives, no matter how small they may be. With that said, I won't update daily like many people do, but I will try and update weekly, to let you know what's been going on with us. I want this to be a way to stay in touch with others as much as I can. Let me know what you think!
