The Scoop

So between the two of us, Steve and I aren't very good at updating our blog. Maybe it's because there isn't much going on with us, or maybe we're just lazy (Steve's just busy, I'm more lazy), so here I am with what will hopefully be a semi-interesting update.

Steve is now working two jobs along with a busy school schedule. They just amount to about 10 hours a week, but we definitely consider them a blessing. One of the things we're learning as newlyweds is that tithing works, and that Heavenly Father answers prayers. :) Steve's doing well in his classes, and loves being at Snow...for now. I'll be honest, I'm pretty sure he misses being a Utah Man. It's been hard for him to be away for games and stuff, and since his family is BIG into the Utes, it'll be good for him to be back in Salt Lake.

I have been working in a 3rd Grade classroom for the last two weeks, and will spend the rest of my time here at Ephraim Elementary. My students are a challenge, but I enjoy every minute of it. Anything beats being a student in a sometimes 5 hour class. Now I'm a teacher, in an actual classroom. I've been given an awesome mentor teacher who really wants me to succeed. She's given me tons of materials and ideas I can't wait to apply in my own classroom!

Steve and I are both getting anxious to move back to Salt Lake. It'll be nice not to have to drive 2 hours when we want to see our family. That's been the hardest thing about living here, we never get enough time with our families. I have yet to find out about my student teaching, but am supposed to get an answer about it in about a month. We're hoping for somewhere close, but I'm so excited to finally be student teacher, I'd go anywhere! Not to mention that I'm so ready to graduate I could scream! So we just have a short month left in Ephraim and we'll be done. Wow, time flies.

Well that's the scoop on us for now. I should probly post pictures and stuff, but I don't have anything uploaded yet. I'll work on it and post soon!
