The Crazy Life

So I find that I am never on the internet anymore. And when I am on the internet, I feel like I have a million things to catch up on. So tonight, I thought i would spare a moment or two to blog. I wish I would have blogged more throughout this first 3 months of our marriage, but I am afraid I am going to have to play catch up once I can finally upload and be patient enough to post pictures! For now I will post an update though.

This summer was amazing. We played lots of Phase 10 and Dance Dance Revolution on the wii, rode our bikes around West Haven, went to Lagoon with our season passports (best idea ever haha), went on walks with Lole, spent time with family, went to the rodeo, a benefit concert, and lots of fireworks.

My amazing Dad paid for us to go surprise my Mom for her birthday in Memphis. It worked out fabulously and she was very surprised! :) It was so fun to be able to see their new home, swim in their new pool, enjoy good food, have lots of laughs, and enjoy having family together. We were able to spend some great sister time that we haven't had in ages, and grown up family time without all the in laws (which we all missed tremendously) (Val went to bed for school the next day so it made it even more official) which was weird because that doesn't happen very often as we grow up. I have been blessed with an amazing family, and loved every minute of spending time with them!

Summer is over.

I panicked with life because I didn't have a teaching job, and we were moving to Brigham City.

I got a job as an extended sub for a 2nd grade teacher leaving on maternity leave. I got interviewed for an even better job after I had accepted that job. I interviewed Tuesday morning, got hired about 20 minutes later, and started on Wednesday.

1st grade is much different than 2nd grade. I had back to school night that Thursday and tried to present myself as confidently as possible to the parents that didn't know their 1st grader was getting a new teacher until they came home the day before telling them all about Mrs. Keller. Needless to say, I am a little overwhelmed :)

I go by Mrs. Keller. Weird. I love it. :)

Brent has started his last semester at Utah State!! WOO HOO!! He is now a dual major (International Business and Economics) and is taking 3 MBA classes. He is also a little overwhelmed. :) We are in this together.

I am getting so many eyelash clients and loving it! Starting today I had to bump up my prices because I am running out of time for new clients. So my prices are $100 for a full set and $50 for a fill. Which is still a fabulous deal. Especially fabulous because I am amazing at what I do... and humble ;)If you are reading this and wondering if you should call me for an appt., you definitely should. haha

We started moving to Brigham City this past weekend. Our apartment is so cute, and it is so fun to finally be able to unwrap our new couches and pampered chef stuff and wedding gifts! I can't wait to put up pictures, organize everything, and make it feel a little more homey :)

So life has been crazy. And amazing. I have married my best friend, and we have so much fun together even when we are doing nothing. We have really come to appreciate those moments when we get to just watch a movie and cuddle (because those moments are now rare and few between). Life is good.

  2. I'm glad you found a job! I'm sure 1st graders are MUCH different that 2nd graders. I'm happy to finally get an update on your life! Keep it up :)
