Ahhh, summer.
J Sleeping in until 9:00 or 10:00 each
day? Loving it. Finally having time to clean and catch up on other things in my
life? Couldn’t ask for more! Having the freedom of a very flexible schedule? It’s
glorious. Being with my family and friends more? Best thing ever.
Do I miss my first graders like crazy? Holy
cow yes!!! I cried the entire last week of school and I still get a bit choked
up sometimes. I sure grew attached to those little critters. However, I’m sure
our paths will cross one day. Especially since I had the kids write “time
capsule” letters which I am planning on mailing to them in 10 years. It was an
amazing first year of teaching. I learned so much and knew I was in the right
career for sure.
It’s been a
while since I updated so I’ll do that through pictures mostly. If you wish to see more pictures, see my Facebook page. J I will no
longer be at Ridgeline Elementary but instead at Pony Express in Eagle
Mountain. My new team is awesome, I love t hem already. To make it even better,
one of my good friends from UVU is teaching on the same team (that means the
same grade level teachers)! We are ecstatic that we got hired same
school/grade!
Tyler got a promotion at Blue Lemon. He is the general manager over the bakery,
Blue Room (events), and off-site catering! It’s been a lot of work but he is so
talented and passionate about it so it’s fun for him. We are loving life. Can’t
WAIT for Europe on June 30th!!! We are going to London and Paris and
are so thrilled! My dad is paying for our flights plus some extra spending
money- it was his graduation gift to me. Best dad ever!
Next time I
blog will probably London/Paris pictures so until then! Au revoir!

For Spring Break I went to California for a teacher training with my mother in-law
I was happy it was over Spring Break + Easter Sunday! We went to Zuma
Beach after church for Easter, it was the greatest thing ever. |

Coolest kid ever. |

My breakfast at IHOP. They accidentally gave me 4 pancakes instead of 3
but guess who was hungry? Me. So, I ate all that! |

My best friend's dad took my graduation pictures (which I will post on FB

Dip 'n' Dots are delicious.
I forgot to take pictures, but afterward we went home and finally put our wedding pictures in photo albums instead of storing them in a photo box. We did this while watching our wedding video. It was a fun anniversary! |
|
Jackie and I went to the Oquirrh Mountain temple- so beautiful! |
|
Thanks for taking my picture, Jackie! |
|
In exchange for my graduation pictures, Tyler made the
Allenbach family a wonderful gourmet meal: Herb bacon
and veggie chicken roulade. Soooo yummy! |

He rocks at cooking. |

The final dish. Amazing!
