SLACKER!

That is exactly what i have been!! Well not really, but with updating this i would have to say its true!! But i feel as if i have some great excuses so let me just tell you what has been up with our life for the past few weeks. OK so of course we have been working, and it feels like its nonstop sometimes but its been great. Besides that, school is ending soon for this semester and i couldn't be more excited!!!!!!!!

So let me give you what my schedule has been the past week and then maybe you will forgive me ! :)

Monday- I had to take a final for my Literacy class(and its for teaching) which means its "kind of a big deal" And Zack worked all day also . I can home and then went to the library because on...

Tuesday- i had a presentation to give about RTI which means Response to Intervention and if it reduces students with learning disabilities. So i had to get ready for that and we had to teach the whole class which is kind of hard.. but then i went home after that i went to a study group and studied my life away ...and went home and studied again because..... on....

Wednesday- I went to class and came home and studied with a friend and then took a state exam for teaching and it was stressful. Its so hard, but I have been trying to stay positive because i can always take it again. So you would think it would be over..but wait....after that i went home and just tried to relax a little bit and go to sleep...

Thursday- I had school and then went to work right after until about 4. And then i needed to take a math test which is also hard because I'm not doing as well as i would like in the class and i came home and studied for it and right away went to take that test. And let me tell you how horrible i did. But i felt as if i couldn't even study anymore. And then right after i took that test i studied again.. because...

Friday- I went to class and then studied again. My friend came over and we just studied and studied and studied because i had to take another state exam. UGH! So i finally took that and Zack had to work all day which didn't make me feel good because i wanted support from him because i was so stressed. But he wished me good luck which means a lot to me.

Let me add in Zack worked everyday that week except like one day so he has been great!!

So that has been my life last week, so forgive me for not writing! This next week is my last week of school and i couldn't be happier. I have some finals to worry about and have to make a file folder game for a final but i just need this week to get over with. And we will just be working. Which i am not that fond of either.

OK So this weekend was conference. Saturday we worked and was not able to watch conference. So on Sunday we made a huge effort to watch it together. We had to watch in on our computer but it was so nice to just relax and listen to conference together:) That is what makes me happy. Being with my husband listening to conference on Easter Sunday. He had to go to work tonight but that's OK. I am happy we got to listen to conference. For Easter i also got him a few things at walmart. Some body wash some little things. I also wrote 10 things and put them in his little basket as a surprise. I wrote some scriptures on some and little love notes on the others. I love holidays. i don't care what the holiday is! We also dyed some Easter eggs which was also really fun..

i feel like i am babbling. But i have so much to write it seems..

We also are looking to possibly POSSIBLY move to Boise if we can afford school and find a job. I think we would love the opportunity to do that. But we hope we can make everything work out. When we go at the end of the month we will go job hunting and i will probably go to the schools and figure out if we can do it!

Growing up

So the past few weeks i have been thinking about how tough it is to grow up! Sometimes i think about when i lived at home with friends and family and how it was easier to not have to pay for rent and food. But then i go back to reality and realize how grateful i am to have a wonderful husband! These past few weeks have also come with many trials and heartache but we are thankful for them either way.

We are happy to live in our new apartment and try new things. We are thankful that we have jobs in this economy and know how hard it is for others who dont have any job. I know that sometimes we complain about the job we have and how much we want to find a new one but then we go to think about those who have none. And then we feel so bad that we complained when we have a lot compared to some others.

I put this on my facebook page the other day and think its a great quote.

"If you want your life to be a magnificent story, then begin by realizing that you are the author and everyday you have the opportunity to write a new page"

As a couple we just feel like we sometimes are so close to having complete happiness(for us at least) and then sometimes it just gets taken away from us for no reason!! so we need to remember that we are our own author.

But a week of having just a horrible week it has strengthened mine and zacks relationship as a couple. We have learned that things always work out in the end and that whatever happens we have each other. I think this experience made us appreciate each other so much more.

We are going to be trying to start a family as soon as possible. and we couldnt be happier !So we are very excited that in about a month or two we are going to be trying to have our very first child. Zack is going to be a great dad and i know that he is very excited.

Last weekend Zacks parents came to visit and i am so thankful for them also. We got to go to the temple and have just an excellent stress free day! They are so nice and they want me and zack to have the best life possible and i just couldnt be more happy that they are part of my family.

So we have a lot of new things that are going to be happening in our life and we are excited to start new adventures together!

been a while!

It has been such a long time since i have updated!! i am so sorry but i have just been busy with LIFE! Since Christmas, I have started school, Zack and been working more, and we moved into a new apartment. We LOVE IT! its bigger then our old one which is really nice and has everything we want ! We havent really done much but it feels like we are never stopping to take a break!

zack has been so supportive of me and helpful that i have no idea what i would do without him. He works so hard and i am proud that he takes the time to take care of me and he just works so hard to make he happy. I love him for it :)!

As for me i have just been in school and its been really tough. During the first half of my semester i had to go to the elementary school two times a week for two hours. It was really fun. I got to teach second grade and Kindergarten. They are so cute and i love being able to teach them. But today was my last day of it, and i hate to admit that i am happy! Its nice to know you are done with a class because that means you are one step closer to graduating! :) :)

so that has been whats going on with me right now through school . I have been really stressed out lately but i am so glad that i have finally found a friend that i can count on and rely on. Its so nice to be able to come home and if zack is at work just talk to someone else about how i am feeling! so i have been in such a great mood lately and just feel like life is starting to feel like its going on the right track.

So many new things have been happening, and i cant wait for a bunch of new things to happen:)

Christmas!

Ok so it has been a while since we have updated but thats because we have had so much going on! so first off we went to NJ for christmas. It was so nice to be able to see the family and its always hard to go home. So we had tickets to go from dec 19th to Jan 1st. Our flight was cancelled on the 19th because of a huge storm in the east. So after trying so hard to get a new flight( and it seemed like everyone else in the world to) we got a flight out the next day. it wasnt something that we wanted to do but we didnt have a choice. So the 19th we drove down to utah anyways and go a hotel for the next day because it was an early flight. And of course to our suprise(not) the flight again was cancelled!!! so we went to salt lake airport and tried to talk to people at the counter to see when we could get out and they told us we wouldnt be able to get out until the end of the week. So i told them that they just need to get us otu to somewhere. So we got a flight to atlanta the next morning on the 20th and were hoping to get on standby on a flight all day. but after being in the airport ALL day we didnt get a flight so we had to buy another hotel and fly out the next day . It was very stressful especially because it was our one year anniversary. So we tried to make it a little special but it was hard. So the next day we flew out and finally got home. and had to go to another airport for our bags but in the end we made it so it all worked out. We got to do a lot of fun things while we were there. We got to go to NY and see the tree and eat dinner. We also went to the christmas spectacular show at radio city music hall. I have been to it before but it was fun to see zack be able to go and my little sister. Christmas was a lot of fun. We just spent time with the family and it was relaxing!! it was also my birthday during the week and zack got me a new camera . it was so nice of him and i love it!!
So new years we ended up not being able to stay up because we had an early flight. So we get to the airport to come home and for some reason we got kicked off our flight!! from the storm when we went our whole itinerary got messed up. so AGAIN we are sitting in an airport trying to figure out how to get home. We finally made it to salt lake and without our luggage and no one knew where it was. So around 10 we finally find the luggage and start driving home. We are so tired at this point and just want to get home. To make it worse it starts snowing pretty heavy. So we didnt get home until 130 in the morning. (330 NJ time) and we get in bed and went to work yesterday. and today we have spent time cleaning and takinng down our tree.

This christmas has been an adventure but it was all well worth it in the end..


oh and we also got a flat tire before going to work so we had to get a ride to and from work..

but today someone was nice enough to be able to help us because we didnt have the tools. So we have yet to go to the store to get milk or any essential things. But its sunday so tomorrow we will eat . ! hah.

hope you all had a great christmas.. have a great new year!
