Growing Up

Life is changing so much lately. We moved to Utah and I am almost graduated. Since we are now in Provo, I decided to walk at graduation before student teaching. I got to be the first class to graduate in the BYU-Idaho center. If you didn't know, that is the new building on campus that has been under construction for the past 3 years. It is the size of the conference center in Salt Lake and is absolutely beautiful. 

It was very fun to feel like I was done with school, then I remembered I still had to do student teaching. . .  I was pretty nervous about it at first. Worried I would not get a cooperating teacher who I saw eye to eye with,  having students who were very hard to deal with, being so busy I couldn't breathe. Well I am happy to say I LOVE it! my cooperating teacher is amazing! I absolutely love her! She is such a wonderful mentor for me and I am learning so much from her. The students that I was worried about, Love them also. They are so smart, so cute, and so funny. I am going to be so sad when I have to leave. A couple of precious boys in my class told me the other day that I should try to get a job in 5th grade at the school so I can be their teacher next year. The time thing that I was worried about. . . yes that i still something that is hard. I am so tired every night I could fall asleep at 8, but it is so worth it! I feel so good the days I am prepared for everything. 

So for those graduation pics. 

This is my grandma and grandpa Horman. (my dad's parents)

 And these are two of my sisters. (Melissa and Mallory) 

 And of course my wonderful, handsome husband Cory Lane 

 Ah yeah! College grad baby. . .  well in April 

 This is my step dad James and my mom

I love my family and I am so lucky that they support me like they do. I miss them so bad right now. I haven't seen them for about a month and a half now. I know that is not long for a lot of other people, but I am super close to my family. I have never lived far away (4 hours I know I'm a baby!) and not been able to see them when every I want. I went to college 30 minutes away from my family, so I saw them all the time. Miss you guys, so excited to see you next weekend! 

TIME WHERE DO YOU GO?

I can't believe it is already mid January! Usually Januarys drag their feet and never seem to end, but this year we are so super busy I cant get it to stay. Christmas was so fun, and it still seems like yesterday. We went to Arizona with Cory's family, and had a blast in the warmish weather. Though I did miss my family this year. It was the first Christmas I have not seen them. Cory got me a new camera for Christmas so hopefully I can be a more dedicated blogger with all of the fabulous pictures it takes. School has also begun for both of us, and it is a bit stressful. I am doing my student teaching in Draper, UT in a 4th grade classroom. I am loving it so much! My cooperating teacher and students are fabulous! Cory is two weeks into school, and kind of dying. . . poor guy, I feel a bit guilty that I am almost done with school. Well here are some of those fabulous pictures I was telling you about.

This is the view from our bedroom at the house we stayed in over Christmas break. 

Here is a pretty sun set in AZ, by the way this year was my first  Christmas

without snow. 

Adorable little niece Mis Rose, too bad there is a glare. She loved the windows

in the house. 

This is my Cory Lane holding our niece Bella. She just woke up from a nap, 

and he was the cutest uncle to take care of her.

Here are the nieces Crissy and Bella waiting for their lunch. . .  and naked Cinderella Barbie. 

Oh man we made the best lunch ever this day, they were pizza balls. Recipe found here

All of the girls were so cute playing together. Crissy and Brinley playing dolls. 

See how cute they are! 

They also had fun playing under the bar chairs. 

And here is my sister Melissa and Niece Sammy, they came to visit us in 

our new house in Provo. Funny video of Sammy to come!
