I told Stephen, from now on, we can only spend at most one week apart. He's stuck with me for eternity!!<br />
<br />
But I am loving California. I'll admit I do have a little of the Provo blues. My aunt described it well "this is my first time being drug along somewhere" but I'm getting settled. We've done some exploring, and I already have friends! - I love our singles ward, and our single (ex) roommates, but married/wives/moms are so fun, they have nothing to do, like me! Just today I have lunch and dinner plans; then craft time and a double date planned for the week. I'm feeling great about this summer!<br />
<br />
If anyone has lived in the Bay Area before, let us know some fun stuff to do<br />

But this morning I've been thinking about the teachers I had, trying to see if I remembered all of them (K-12) or something they taught me. (I can't remember 7th grade, that gives me comfort, they are my hardest grade) I rarely remember anything they said, I just remember THEM. What they looked like, if they were nice, if I had fun...Then I had a moment of panic, I'm a teacher, and I have students who won't remember anything I've said, they will just remember ME.<br />
<br />
What have I done this year that I want to be remembered for?<br />
<br />
I've just been reflecting this morning, always a good thing to do right?!<br />

We have 8 more days of school. Oh am I counting down! I've had a blank bulletin board for about a month now (something that use to bother me, but now I'm over it) What's the point of putting up a "teaching" thing?

I'll have to get a picture from my mom of little Jarelle in BYU gear...I was cute!<br />
<br />
But, I never <i>have </i>to go back to campus and I'm missing it. So here are ten reasons why I love BYU: (not in any order)<br />
<br />
1. The religion - you get accustomed to it, but it is <i>so</i> nice to be surrounded by good people who do good things, to have prayer and testimony as a common occurrence in class, and to study the gospel regularly in a class. It is a beautiful thing that happens in few other places like it does at BYU<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
2011 - I was in the 16th row!</div>
<br />
2. The campus - I love the campus, it is beautiful. The grounds crew does such a good job in every season - having hundreds of trees and raking leaves in fall, putting up Christmas lights in winter, planting thousands of flowers in spring, and having wonderful plush lawns in summer. BYU has a beautiful campus<br />

<br />
<br />
3. The professors - they aren't there for the money, they are there for the students and that is obvious in their work. These are my favorites: my two supervisors, and Larry (Stephen says his class is very husband's nightmare;)<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

4. My dance team - I feel so lucky that I kept dancing after high school, and that it led to a huge awesome 4 years that made my college experience. I don't know how many shows I did or places I went, it's all blurred together, but I made wonderful friendships and experienced people from other countries in a way that is only possible through the International Folk Dance Ensemble. It was incredible!<br />

5. My roommates (my other sisters) - one of the greatest blessings in my life. I love my roommates. From the first day of freshman year, we have been together. These girls helped me become a woman as I was growing up, fresh from home. I love them dearly and dread the day we will all be separated...<br />

6. Mating grounds - I love that BYU is where people meet their eternal companion. I found mine before, but I had a lot of fun while he was gone;) Love is always in the air at BYU<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
back when I was single...</div>
<br />
7. The wards - BYU wards are their own entity, their own beast, and way of life. But there is such spiritual power among the people in Provo. The wards are filled with spiritual giants. I love hearing their testimonies and comments, it strengthens me<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
8. Provo - I LOVE Provo. Even with bad drivers and snow and construction, I love it. The "little" town, the 2! temples, only one of some stores, the mass population of 20yr olds, "The Strip" with bowling fast food and BYU, 4th of July, beautiful seasons, the families that actually live here, the cleanliness (in most parts), the MTC, etc. I'm going to miss it<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
9. The tradition - BYU is a name. I only applied to BYU. Not because I was sure I would get in, but because I didn't want to go anywhere else. I still remember finding out I got in (I was with Stephen:) and of course our children <i>have</i> to go to BYU, and their children, and their children's children...<br />

<br />
<br />
10. Who I became - one of my favorite things about BYU is who I am now. I came in as a little girl, knowing nothing of real life and I'm leaving as a woman who is trying to do small things to change the world (at least my small part of it) Reasons #1-9 changed me, in good ways, and that's why I love BYU<br />

<br />
Even though I have been teaching the whole year and doing everything "teacher" and not "student" I was still under BYU supervision. It's like they didn't trust me to educate teenagers without ANY experience or supervision...weird!<br />
<br />
But yesterday I went to campus and turned in all the needed assignments and my supervisor said "that's all, good job, good luck" and I walked away. I feel such freedom now, but also very alone. My supervisors would check on me so often, I felt so loved. Now it's me and the teenagers...<br />
<br />
But, today as I finished submitting stuff I felt so relieved - I'm graduating!! It was hard work that is for sure!<br />
<br />
Yesterday I was with all the other interns and student teachers, about 25 girls. I was one of the very few that has a job for next year - I felt bad as my friends raised their hands saying they were looking for work. I only have a job next year because I got an internship at the right school this year who keeps interns. I'm so thankful Heavenly Father made me scared last year interviewing three times before getting an offer, which put me at the right school long before I thought I would work next year. Certainly, Heavenly Father can make more of our lives than we can imagine!<br />

I also stopped by my dance team practice for a few minutes at BYU. It was so good to see old friends and my director. It's hard to not miss that old life, it seems so easy now - dance all day, travel, perform with a little bit of cooking and sewing classes thrown in there! Needless to say, I <i>loved</i> my time at BYU and I do miss it. But it's pretty cool to see how I've changed and grown up in the past year. Here's to being a grown up...</div>

While I was in the process of mailing in my donation I was playing with my cut-off ponytail, I had it draped over my shoulder like it was still attached. Stephen was a little grossed out (I guess it does sound a bit weird). I just had too many years of fake braids with BYU dance to even think it was weird to touch my own real hair. It was just so long and I missed the ponytail</div>

No I don't miss my hair, I love it short. Yes I donated it. To Pantene Pro-V's Beautiful Lengths, I like it over Locks of Love. It goes only and specifically to women who have cancer. On Friday I found out that a girl I had danced with when I was little was diagnosed with Leukemia which just made this chop job even more rewarding. I'll grow it back someday, but for now my heart is happy knowing some woman can feel beautiful with 13" of my help.</div>

So over Christmas break Stephen said - let's do it...but really meant, we're gonna get this done!<br />
<br />
So the project started. Stephen is learning that when my dad does something, he does it all the way, no skimping, so it literally took days to complete.<br />
1. clear away the sand<br />
2. build a brick wall (I think the only hired step)<br />
3. dig holes for shade poles<br />
4. drill holes into poles<br />
5. cement poles into ground<br />
6. level ground<br />
7. pick up, shovel, spread, level, compact "quarter minus" (aka fancy dirt) over the whole area<br />
8. lay and nail non-woven textile over dirt<br />
9. order, pick up, lay, cut, nail, smooth, sand/rubberize astro-turf<br />
10. assemble playground (sounds easy...not)<br />
11. raise shade covering<br />
<br />
It was a huge project that involved the WHOLE family, it was very bonding!<br />

I had been "the only child" at home for three years, so my parents and I were buds. I was driving a really cute yellow Nissan Frontier truck that was a hand-me-down from my sister, and two cousins. My dad asked if I could have a new car, what would I want. I told him I wanted a black Ford Fusion. I made it my background on my computer and saved money to help pay for one. I would look at pictures online and wanted it so much.<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I went on a choir trip to NYC and when I got home my dad said, will you go get "something" (I can't remember what) from the garage? I said sure, but it was very odd for my dad to ask this. So I went out to the garage and saw a small black car. I thought it was my brother's Infinity that I had totalled a month before...that's a different sad story. But my dad said - look a little closer. It was a black Ford Fusion!! One of the best surprises of my life...right after being proposed to:)</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So my love connection with Fusion started. I didn't drive her to school for my last few month of high school because I didn't want it to get banged up. But in June I loaded her up with everything I owned and moved to Provo. Fusion carried me through all of college, never seeing AZ again (until this past summer, once I was married)</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Well, from the last post, I got a new car - a Ford Escape. Which I also love, so the Fusion had to be sold. Yesterday we got a call from someone wanting it, and today the Fusion is with a new owner. This family was like - a breath of fresh air, like heaven, like angels. He teaches Seminary at Am. Fork HS, the wife had difficult pregnancies so she can't have more children, but encouraged me that my pregnancies would be great. As Stephen sat in the car with her and showed her how everything worked, she said she has never had such a nice car. As we were saying goodbye to them and Fusion, she said this to me and it really hit me - This time of your life is magical. The time you get to spend together as partners is so sweet and you never get it again. And then when you have that first baby, it is just heavenly. Treasure this time!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Then her two kids hopped in the "new car" and she drove away in Fusion. My heart is happy to know that someone so deserving is driving her now. Thank you Fusion, Thank you sweet family for touching our hearts! Happy New Year - it's going to be a good year:)</div>

I was (am) finishing my first semester teaching - way harder than any college semester and Stephen finished one semester of his junior core. We've been a little boring, but here's some of what we have done...<br />

Stephen was hired as an Intern for Apple. He's elated!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We will be moving to Cupertino, CA this summer while he works for them.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This was the info they sent, of course with their signature front and center</div>

This is Stephen's new car. During finals he got a little distracted looking at cars. But he sold his old car in a few days and found a great deal for this car. It's beautiful inside and is a great ride. Yes - we have the same car...for now</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and the students taught them, read to them, and ate a snack</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

It's nice to be a student - multitasking at it's finest!<br />
<br />
This weekend we got hammered with snow, Provo got about 8 inches. Friday night we got dinner to-go and watched a Christmas movie as the blizzard raged outside. We woke up Saturday morning to lots and lots of snow. Stephen has become admit about shoveling our curb so he can park there - so he shoveled and I took pictures of the beauty.<br />
<br />
This was our first big snow, it was really fun!<br />

I'm sure I learned it all when I was there, but what I remember most about first grade is<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Mrs. Moore</span><br />
She was a great teacher. I still remember learning how to spell "of", I thought it was "ov"...makes sense right?! I remember her sending naughty boys to the corner. (weird how I do that with 8th graders:) But what I remember most about Mrs. Moore - is what a beautiful and classy woman she was. She would wear the most beautiful clothes, always skirts and heels, and always looked her best. According to my mom, when she (mom) would ask me how my day was, I would always tell her what Mrs. Moore was wearing that day. I guess I've always loved clothes:)<br />
<br />
Yesterday, one of my students asked me "Mrs. Case, how big is your closet?" Sometimes I have to try really hard not to laugh. I hesitated and she continued, "I've just never seen you wear the same outfit twice" I laughed to myself thinking Stephen would get a kick out of this, considering we do have a room that is called "Jarelle's changing room". But I also thought of Mrs. Moore and how important her outfits were to me. If my students learn nothing about food, maybe they will at least see that it is beautiful to wear clothes that are modest and classy.<br />
<br />
Thank you Mrs. Moore for teaching me how to spell "of", punish naughty boys, but especially - how to dress like a teacher!Jarelle Casehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08042377099882114748noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-258135909811146726.post-7235196967915025322012-11-04T17:24:00.000-07:002012-11-04T17:24:41.456-07:00An Engagement StoryI don't like to write a lot, it's boring, but here's a story. If only for our own journaling purpose.<br />
<br />
One year ago to the day yesterday (or date today) Stephen proposed and I said yes:)<br />
<br />
Stephen had been home 2 weeks from his mission (yes, I did mean weeks). I had seen him for the first time on Friday, October 21, which just happend to be the 5 year anniversary from our very first date. We had talked on the phone late Wednesday night, the day he got home. It was a VERY long day for me! It was a five minute conversation, but he ended it by saying "I love you" and I laughed and didn't say it back. Mean, I know.<br />
<br />
I came home Friday, and finally saw him Friday night. He drove to my house, but parked a few houses down so my family couldn't sneak. I ran from my front door all the way to him and (as Stephen says) walloped him! And I did, and then I kissed him, big:) Sunday was his talk at church. That night we had a DTR (define the relationship) because I was going back to BYU the next day. I told him I wanted to marry him, and was ready whenever he was. I'm straight-forward. I think it scared him a little, but he acted pretty cool. I think he said he felt the same way... But we decided we would talk more about it over Thanksgiving break when I would be back in AZ<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
On Sunday - he had been a missionary 5 days ago:)</div>
<br />
<br />
Over the next two weeks we talked everyday, and tossed around the idea of getting married. He went over and chatted with my parents to let them know what was going on. Not a big deal right?! Two weeks from seeing each other, he came up to Utah to visit me and his siblings. We went on a date to the Roof Restaurant in SLC, overlooking the temple (my temple:) It was our first date in two years. [In a way, Stephen proposed on the first date] Dinner was great, but Stephen was a bit weird. I kept thinking "he is still weird, why isn't he talking to me, why are we eating at such an expensive place?"<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-mHKeIB4sSX0/UJcFP4dLazI/AAAAAAAABFk/ogoR_QmAWSQ/s1600/DSC09711.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="426" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-mHKeIB4sSX0/UJcFP4dLazI/AAAAAAAABFk/ogoR_QmAWSQ/s640/DSC09711.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Right after dinner - wondering why we had to take this picture...</div>
<br />
<br />
After dinner we were sitting in front of the temple. Stephen asked "so do you really want to get married here?" I said of course, I always have, very matter-of-factly. And then he got on his knee, asked me to marry him, and started to put a ring on my right finger. I said yes, and then told him the other hand. It was freezing, so we kissed, took a picture, and ran inside. We called our families, they were all a bit surprised it happened so soon but they all knew it was coming eventually.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
my roommates made a poster by the time we got back to provo and had it hanging outside at our apartment complex "congrats on getting engaged Stephen & Jarelle"</div>
<br />
<br />
I love the way Stephen did it all. He did not waste time - I said I wanted to marry him, and he made it happen. He wanted to surprise me so he got a small, inexpensive ring. I was surprised then got to personally design my own ring.<br />
<br />
Now we are happily married and living ever after:)<br />

We had a great time, but as the plane took off I told Stephen I'd be ok NOT living there. My sweet husband has now dropped the idea of banking and is doing other finance stuff. Here's what we have been doing:<br />
<br />
-Halloween Cruise: we had 16 people over for dinner then we all went on the Halloween Cruise. It sounds really fancy. It's just a boat ride down the Provo River. But it's kid friendly, and it's been a going tradition for 3 years. One more year to go!<br />

-Fall - Utah has a beautiful Fall season. I love driving around and seeing bright yellow and red trees. Sad it only lasts a month or so. It's been record high temperatures for UT, almost AZ-like. I'm dreading the snow...<br />

-Halloween - we have never been huge Halloween people. It's especially weird when you're too old to trick-or-treat, too boring to have a party and be up late, and don't have cute babies to dress up. So we had a family dinner, and stole Caitlin's glasses to take a picture. </div>

Things that make me happy:</div>

-We have been listening to Christmas music since September. Stephen said it was a "ber" month so it was time. Then I started listening to it at school during my prep to make me happy. And today I heard it on the radio. I sang it loud and proud:)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Goodbye October, Hello Christmas!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
-We're going to AZ for Thanksgiving. That might seem like the obvious place to go considering that's where most of our family lives. But it was only decided upon yesterday, I'm a very happy girl to be able to cook that Thursday morning with my mom and sisters (in-laws now! and maybe Caleb) in AZ. So happy!</div>

I had Fall Break (best thing ever!) and Stephen wanted to go out to network. I kind of tagged along. We had a lot of fun seeing the city, it is so different from our life now. It's a HUGE city on a tiny island<br />

It was a good time. We did go to one session, which was just great.<br />
<br />
I continued my family tradition of making crepes on Conference sunday morning. Somehow I've always had my parents here I think, because I've never done it on my own. I started making them before the morning session and Facetime-d home the whole hour before. We made crepes together, it was cute. I love technology, it makes it easier to be the only kid away from home.<br />
<br />
Love conference, love crepes, and love family!<br />

But one reason I love Utah is because of the temples. I have a deep love and testimony of LDS temples, and I think Utah has some of the most beautiful temples that are always glowing on a hill. I always wanted to get married in Salt Lake so we did, but my favorite Utah temple is Oquirrh Mountain. I went to the open house in 2009 and wanted to go back. A few times that year I went with my roommates. The temple is beautiful, but I love the people who work there. It's not a very busy temple so the workers take time to talk with you and teach you. I just love it.<br />
<br />
Last week Stephen was doing something and wasn't going to be home until late. So I drove north a bit and went to Oquirrh Temple, and this time I was able to go through the whole temple. I'll admit I was a little teary eyed driving there. From the highway the temple looks so beautiful, and I could see Jordan River temple and even the spires of Salt Lake temple - I love Utah!<br />
<br />
My time at the temple was wonderful. Again a temple worker took the time to talk with me which made it even better. And the celestial room!! I've been trying to tell my parents to go there in the morning for years, next time guys! It is so beautiful. I am thankful for temples<br />
<br />
This is from the Deseret News, so it's allowed...I think<br />

I have taken it upon myself to end this cycle in my classroom. I try to throw things away slowly so Caleb, who takes out my trash, won't say anything. Sometimes I get caught up in throwing away and all my trash cans (5 big gray ones:) are full and it's an hour later. What can I say, I should be a professional organizer. BYU didn't offer it, but I'm great at it. My dad use to pay me to throw things away at his work office. If only I could make $10 every hour I've spent organizing room 189...<br />
<br />
The other day I found this. I don't even know how this would actually work, but it's Historic!<br />

Which is good, we are both understanding when we spend Friday night planning, doing homework, taking test, etc. But we have to make sure that we have fun time together. Thankfully we have our dear Caitlin who IS fun, that's what she is, and she always invites us. Thanks lady!<br />
<br />
We went to Comedy Sportz on Saturday night. I will admit the 10:10 show was a bit late for me when they were still joking at midnight, I had checked out:) But we had a lot of fun!<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-TIidZDY-vNo/UGaXZ7qlAgI/AAAAAAAAA3U/u5HaNbAAYxg/s1600/IMG_0539.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-TIidZDY-vNo/UGaXZ7qlAgI/AAAAAAAAA3U/u5HaNbAAYxg/s640/IMG_0539.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
That AZ sun still feels the same - tinkles on my skin</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I got a few looks while I basked in the sun through a window</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It's just beautiful!</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We called my mom (already in TX) and asked why she wasn't at the AZ gate to meet us. She was too stressed to get our joke - at least we think we are funny!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
2. That this week I have been teaching economics to my 7th graders. Probably only my dad can understand the humor of this. He has spent many hours trying to explain that part of life to me. Poor man. Today we made a budget in class, it was very hard. Probably because I've never actually made one myself. Ironic that I try to teach something I don't understand myself. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
3. I had parent teacher conferences this week. Funny that parents sat at my desk and talked to me like I'm an adult. Ironic that I teach their adolescents to cook because they don't. It's humorous that I was more excited about a parent's new baby than their teen. I'm in the wrong job:)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
4. That we are going to NYC in 2 weeks for Stephen to do some networking and so that we can see if we could live there in the future. That's adult life</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Life is ironic, big, and going</div>

Not a ton but it's still enough time to think. When I come home from school I always have lots of random thoughts to tell Stephen. So here are some random thoughts.<br />
<br />
1. Waking up at 6am isn't my favorite, but thankfully Heavenly Father gives me a beautiful sunrise every morning as I walk into school that makes me smile and love the mornings.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-6WoLE9DNsJM/UFaTOypMTUI/AAAAAAAAA0c/1pgY4DGK4Yc/s1600/IMG_0519.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-6WoLE9DNsJM/UFaTOypMTUI/AAAAAAAAA0c/1pgY4DGK4Yc/s640/IMG_0519.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
this must have been a late morning cuz it's from our house</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
2. I'm thankful for 2nd chances. I think they are tender mercies, but sometimes just the little humors of life. I never went to ward prayer for 4 years of BYU wards. Now I make us go to "support" the ward each week, and bring treats sometimes. I guess it's a 2nd chance to get it right. I never went to a recreational dance club at BYU that I should have, I thought it was a waste of time. I now have to host a similar thing at school once a week - oh the humor!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-3LLAARLHYaw/UFaVg7BIz-I/AAAAAAAAA0k/uqC-0d_nhj8/s1600/IMG_0530.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-3LLAARLHYaw/UFaVg7BIz-I/AAAAAAAAA0k/uqC-0d_nhj8/s640/IMG_0530.jpg" width="480" /></a></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
3. I <i>watched </i>BYU folk dance perform this weekend. First time in 3 years I have been on the audience side in a while. It was a little sad, but mostly happy. I am glad I did it 3 years and now I have something new and harder. The team was so hard the first day but the last shows became so easy requiring little thought. Learning and growing and growing up are awesome</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-NAIFhVpdfz0/UFaWpZlU6II/AAAAAAAAA0s/dcY7EZrm6Ec/s1600/IMG_0355.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-NAIFhVpdfz0/UFaWpZlU6II/AAAAAAAAA0s/dcY7EZrm6Ec/s640/IMG_0355.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
my last show</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This week my students asked if I could dance. Funny, in this life all I am is a teacher to them</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
4. Learning curves are very real. Stephen is diving head first into Finance, internships, corporate life, etc. He is learning so much, I love that he can now speak to me in "Finance" language. Makes up for all my Child Dev. or Nutrition talk he doesn't get</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
5. We're thinking of a future in NY, only an option, nothing for sure. It would be so fun, and sad to leave the west, especially our families. But what do I think of first about the idea of living in NY - "I don't think all of my kitchen stuff and sewing machine will fit!"</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
it's not cool to say, but I LOVE Provo:)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
6. My brother is getting married in 6 days. I am very excited to see my family, especially my sister and her family - it's a few months and I miss having them a few minutes away. Back to Daniel, I am so excited for him to be married, I think it is so fun. But he and LeeAnn have a really hard week. Not my story to tell, but it makes me so thankful for my daddy!</div>

I hope it's not because of selfishness, but more a case of "ignorance is bliss". Grow up, I know<br />
<br />
But I do love "occasions", and today being 9-11 it was an occasion to be patriotic. So I wore red today, (and definitely not on Friday in lieu of BYU v U). I was a bit late for faculty meeting because I was trying to find a great youtube video I could show in class<br />
<br />
My students were 2-4 years old in 2001, they had no idea what 9-11 was. So we talked and we shared, me and my students who are only 10 years younger than me. I didn't have much to say about it, I let the video do the talking. One thing I try to teach them everyday, and especially today is <span style="font-size: x-large;">respect</span> - respect their teacher, their classmates, and today respect their country and it's citizens. So I only hoped that they would leave my room with a greater respect for this day of patriotism and mourning. And a greater respect for a country that came back from that day.<br />

this is the video I showed them. It was my favorite of about 10 is searched this morning<br />
<br />
One tender moment of the day:<br />
One of my students has autism, and can't participate much in class - I've never heard him speak. Each morning in 2nd period I lead my class in the pledge. Maybe he does this every day, but today I heard him very loudly saying the Pledge. My heart smiled to hear his voice, but especially to hear it saying those words. Isn't it interesting what some students do learn?<br />
<br />
Everyday I learn much, and that is something to be grateful for<br />
