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.

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!
