Update



I thought I would update everyone on the past few weeks. Because I know you have been dying to know.

Well, my parents came out last weekend and we had a blast. The boys played golf I got to go to breakfast and shop with my mom, and then we all went to the BYU football game (and did some other fun stuff too). I am pretty sure my parents learned the fight song, and got a taste of BYU. It was just so nice for them to come out. It was a short weekend, but so fun.
I love BYU football. I am really not a big football person, but the games are such a blast. That's a picture of the dance they do before games start.



On another note, school is going well. I think that the beginning of the year is harder than any other time. It's been pretty crazy. Last week Drew was at cross country camp, and it actually worked out. I was at the school most days from 7:15 a.m. until 8:15 p.m. It's calmed down a little bit this week.

My kids are pretty darn cute. The first few days I was thinking oh geez these kids are a lot different third graders (which is true) but I have already grown to love them so much. The thing about teaching is you never know what a day will hold. The things that happen are so unexpected. I have already had so many stories that I've shared with Drew each night. Sometimes I just find my self laughing at night thinking about the things they say or do.

I think it's going to be a good year.



Lastly, I just had to share that I joined a work out class at BYU. It's not an aerobics class exactly. It's like this abs, cardio, free weights class. I think it will be really fun. The girls in the class are really nice. I have always joked around about classes, when I hear the music going and see all these women jumping around.
But, I decided that it was a good choice for me because once the after school program starts and winter comes my motivation to work out is going to drop. I am also glad that it forces me to leave the school. Otherwise it's hard to leave work undone. So just picture me in my cool work out outfit doing some high leg kicks and dancin to the music baby!
P.S. Don't you love this picture... classic

FINALLY!!! I check your blog EVERYDAY and I'm always so disappointed. (TOTALLY KIDDING) I'm so glad Bob and Tracey could come visit. They are the best aren't they. We're having dinner together next week. (KIDDING AGAIN) anyway, thanks for finally updating me on your life :)

Hey Kristen--

I'm glad that you're excited about your class this year. I'm sure they're all going to love you!

And way to go with your aerobics class. That sounds like fun. It's always nice to find things that increase motivation to work out. I'm a little lacking in that department myself right now...

I hear ya on the school starting work out motivation disappearing.. i need a class.. although you'd think a gym membership would be enough motivation.. i'll have to work on that! I'm so glad your year is starting well!

No way did you join an aerobics class! Thats awesome! I did too but mine is full of big bellied women and its fun to watch us try and do most of the exercises. Sounds like your year is off to a good start!

I got to see Kristen in action during the aerobic class. No, she didn't know that I was watching and I only watched for a few seconds, but she was working out there. The music was rocking. I almost had to go out and workout myself.

On another note, BYU football is off to a good start, and there are high expectations in Provo this year, but I think we need to get through our non-conference schedule before we can start talking about anything. GO COUGS!!!!!

Kristen,
I was wondering if you were still alive over there. You never call or write!! Sounds like your 2nd graders will keep you hopping this year.

Don't look now, but I'm playing you this weekend in football.

You will be disappointed. Get used to it!! (What movie is that from?)

Kristen!! I saw you working out yesterday at your step aerobics class. I was walking home and went through the RB on the second floor...there was a window looking down into your room. I hope you're doing well!!
