Life Lately

-
Now that the semester is coming to an end (I'm actually really sad about it! I've had some great classes this semester and I only have like 5 more months of school left. WHAT AM I GOING TO DO I'M GOING TO MISS USU SO MUCH.) But anyway, thought I'd get on here and do a quick update on life lately.


I finished my 30 hours of clinical work at Logan High School. I was really worried at the first of the semester because I got assigned to a teacher that I really wasn't liking and the school implemented an online program so I was worried I wouldn't get the teaching experience I wanted. But I met some of the other amazing teachers, got to teach a lesson, and was very impressed by how smart and fun high schoolers are! (And also, why do they all dress better than I do?!)

I took lots of selfies and patiently waited (and continue waiting) for my bangs to grow out.

I took the English Praxis (a big test you need to be licensed to teach in Utah) and very impatiently waited (and continue waiting) for my test scores. 

We went to see Wonder. Yes, there were tears. Yes, every human in the world needs to watch that movie. 

Went on a lunch date with a really cute guy to Lucky Slice Pizza to kick off THANKSGIVING BREAK. 

Saw some old friends at Jackie's wedding. Caught up on important life events and, of course, Taylor Swift's new album. 


Went on a birthday hike to celebrate my Dad. These two sure are good hikers and even better parents. Also inhaled a Jimmy John's sandwich at the top in record time. 


Wore flipped outfits at Thanksgiving dinner with (a lot) of family in South Jordan.




Realized (as I do daily) that I have the best sisters...

And the best mother-in-law. 

And the cutest husband.

And just the very best people in life ever. 

Went to Richfield and ate at Little Wonder.

Lost to my grandpa at Old Maid (one of my favorite traditions we have. He is the best.) 

And ended the break with Ben and Sarah and an escape room! (It was kind of a lame one haha but also still fun!) 

We have also set up our Christmas tree, wrapped lots of presents, got a memory foam topper for our bed, consequently spent a lot more time watching TV, got SUPER into the show Riverdale (someone please watch it and talk about it with me because it's CRAZY and Tanner hates it haha), endured the first snowfall, and got the dreaded finals week cold (why does this always happen to me! I thought I had learned to manage my stress better!) 

Life is good! And ONLY 19 DAYS UNTIL CHRISTMAS!!!!

Marriage isn't Hard... Sometimes.

-

I've learned a lot of things while being married. (Look at us on our honeymoon, so cute) I've learned that two people use SO MANY DISHES, that I love hugs, and that sleeping is a lot better when you each have your own blanket. I've also learned that everyone tells you marriage is hard. I'm not going to tell you that it's hard... but I'm also not going to tell you that it isn't. Marriage is how you choose to make it. Lucky for me, Tanner happens to be really good at making it easy. (Tanner's really good at a lot of things.) It's easy because he forgives and forgets. Immediately. Always. No matter what. It's easy because on hard days he still thinks life is good and our marriage is great. It's easy because he looks for blessings instead of dwelling on disappointments. It's easy because he's willing to go with the flow and readjust plans as necessary. It's good because he is ALWAYS positive. I, on the other

May Update

We're officially moved into our apartment in South Jordan, we went on a cruise the first week of May, and now we've just been settling into a summer routine. Oh, summer. I am a very antsy person so I usually get bored of summer about 3 weeks in... but I'm trying to enjoy the relaxation of it all because I'm sure that once I start student teaching I'll be dying for a break. Anyway, this summer I'm actually working from home for the job I had in Logan with The Lawn Doctor. I basically sit on my couch all day and answer phone calls. (Living the dream haha) However, when it's slow (which is fairly often), I have quite a bit of free time. This free time has been used to keep the house (somewhat) clean, read, watch a lot of YouTube videos ( This  one was very entertaining. Also it made me miss This is Us so much!), and write this blog post haha. So, here are some things I've been doing/thinking lately!  Earlier this week I started reading some teach

How's Married Life?

-
Image
Tanner and I have been married for almost eight months now, so we're practically experts (no, we're definitely not). And the first thing anyone asks when they see us is "How's married life?" It's easy to answer "So good!" because it really is so good. But also there are days that aren't so good and I want to remember this time in my life forever, good and bad. And I don't want my kids or my sisters to think they're crazy if someday they're annoyed with their husband. So. How is married life? Things I love about being married: -Tanner. He is all things that I wish I could be. It seems like every area I lack, he makes up for 100 times over. He is kind, patient, passionate, hard working, energetic, positive, smart, over achieving, funny, and pretty much all other good qualities you can think of. He loves me so much and I'm so grateful for that. He has never once gotten mad at me, he's kind and loving and understanding wh
