ST. GEORGE!!!

The original plan was to go camping in Moab, but the wonderful weather over the weekend pursuaded us to head south to Car and Log's grandparents "winter home" in S.G. I have a bunch of pics on Gregor's camera that will come along with our Hawaii pics that I promised so long ago... Next post, I promise!!! Get excited people!!!

2 Months

Yes, I know these are small margins in the grand scheme of things, but today is our 2-month Anniversary! Yea! Another month! I love you more and more everyday, Gregor. Thank you for being you and for loving me back! Here's to Eternity!!!

Just keep swimming, just keep swimming...

I went to practice this morning at 5 am with Gregor. This is what I looked like for the majority of the practice. But, I didn't drown. A small victory. Wahoo.PS. I had my fastest 10k run EVER on Monday. 45.00! Now I gotta do it in an actual race. Can do. Can do.

ME EYE!

UGH! Contact wearers, you feel my pain...Has one of your contacts ever RIPPED in your eye? It hurts like hell and then when you take it out, you're blind in one eye for the rest of the day? AWESOME! My depth perception is sooo off! I'm in class with my students with one eye closed, trying to focus. It probably looks ridiculous. Oh, well. I've already fallen into the "She's kind of a weird teacher" category. No worries.

It's Thursday, again.

Have I mentioned I hate Thursdays? Oh, yeah. I did a post on it last week. Ugh. I hate that I don't get to see my husband from 7:40 am til 10:30 pm, or even be home at all for that matter. I go to work, go run, today I have to go pick up uniforms for my guards, and then go to school early to knock out our final group presentation and then present it in 4-hours worth of class. AHHHHHHH! I WANT TO GO BACK TO KAUAI RIGHT NOW!!! I guess I'd take any vacation...I'm just super burned out of EVERYTHING! K, I'm being super negative...Here are 3 positives for today...
1) Tomorrow's Friday. (Always a good thing)
2) I have an interview for a big girl teaching job tomorrow. Yea!
3) After tonight, I'm taking a whole MONTH off of school. Bigger Yea!

2 more weeks of teaching, last night of school for a while and tomorrow's date night! SWEET!

Happy Mothers Day!

I have the best Mom in the world! She has been my best friend for as long as I can remember. Its been such a fun journey growing and learning from her over the years. She has always been there even when I've been a turd and a huge pain in the butt. Thank you, Mom! Not only are you one of the most accomplished musicians I know, you are changing lives on a daily basis for the better. Your students adore you, I was glad I got to see that this weekend. Thank you for teaching me to be a good person, to live life to the fullest and to love without hesitation. Thanks for giving me 5 amazing siblings and helping us to realize how important we are to each other. Thank you for teaching me the Gospel of Jesus Christ and giving me the stepping stones to develop my own testimony. Thank you for loving me, taking care of me, and feeding me and my husband on more than one occasion. Thank you for loving Dad and showing me what it takes to make a marriage successful. You are my Hero/Role Model/Example/Best Friend. I love you forever! Happy Mother's Day!

I also have a lot of love for Kathy, Gregor's mom. Thank you, Ma, for raising the greatest man in the whole world! He is the love of my life! Thank you for your love and for accepting me so readily into the Greiner clan. You are a beautiful, strong and very capable woman. I love you!Aren't they beautiful? These two gorgeous gals are my Moms! Kathy and Shauna.

This is for Zach

Haha! Zach this post is totally for you. Last night in class I successfully used the movie Mean Girls in context. I swear this is probably the iconic movie of our friendship, so I was stoked to use it in a public setting. We were talking about Affirmative Action in class and how it has almost caused reverse discrimination in America. The first thoughts that popped in my head were these from Mean Girls:

Karen Smith (talking to Cady Harren): "...If you're from Africa, why are you white?"
Gretchen Wieners: "Oh my gosh, Karen! You can't just go around asking people why they're white!!!"

I shared my thoughts and my professor actually used it to carry on the discussion. Major points to Betch and Deck! I WILL be watching that movie sometime this weekend just to reminisce! Love ya, Zaaaaaa!
