The Coolest Neighbors

The sad day came when our first and best neighbors moved away. Kailee, Eric and baby Brody moved back to AZ to move into a real house and get a job. Only three more years until we get to do that! We miss you Andersen's. :) Most of all we miss the late-night games and treats. I think we all gained weight from all the treats we ate together. We also miss coming over to borrow stuff instead of actually going to the store! Thanks for being such awesome friends and neighbors :)

GRADUATION!

Josh and I both graduated on April 25th. He graduated in English from BYU and I graduated in Elementary Education from UVSC. It was fun to graduate on the same day as your spouse! It worked out that we got to go to my graduation in the morning, have a huge picnic with all the fam that was in town, and then go to Josh's in the evening. Our next step is law school in August. We are going to Gonzaga. WA here we come!

The Lit Conference

Josh wrote a short story and submitted it to a writing conference through BYU and they selected his story. This was a great accomplishment for him as the writing conference consisted of universities from all over the United States. It was held at Weber State up near Ogden, UT. Josh got to read his story at the conference and his aunt Wendy, who writes for the local newspaper, wrote an article about the conference. It was fun to read her article and see information about Josh in it. Yea for Josh! :)

Here is Josh reading his short story. He did so good! :)

Valentine's Day-Josh's cute surprise :)

Just thought I would spice up the page with a few recent pictures, recent meaning sometime in the last 4 months, haha. I still don't have a picture of my new hair cut yet, but I do need to get one up since Lindz did a FAB job on it. :) Thanks Lindz. Also, a recent update is that Josh has gotten three law school letters back so far and has been accepted to all of them. They include Creighton (in omaha), Tulsa University, and Gonzaga (WA state) which I am voting for Gonzaga personally so far. Yea for Joshie!

Fun, Fun, and more Fun

So it's been awhile since I made a post, but lots has happened. Valentine's day was wonderful, my husband surprised me by decorating the house with candles, tule (you can never have enough tule-quoted by my dad from the wedding) and a delicious homemade dinner. It was so sweet and wonderful, he is very romantic :) Then of course we ended our romantic evening with Lost since we can't stand to know it's on and not watch it!!! I've also been student teaching fourth grade full time and this last week almost killed me. I started out ok on Monday but on tuesday and wednesday I was barfing and still at school...I know, I'm psycho, but those sub plans are killer. Then the week ended with my grandfather Roskelley passing away. I am in CA for the funeral which is tomorrow and it is quite the experience, my first funeral ever. My grandpa was a wonderful man, and although grumpy at times, he was very compassionate and always serving others. And honestly, I would be grumpy if I was sick for 6 years straight too! I love him so much, and will miss him, but I can't help to think positively as I know that I will see him again in the next life. Love you grandpa.

LOST!!!

Seriously, I love lost. It made my whole day ten times better knowing that when I got home from teaching I would be able to watch lost. I guess you know your life is getting pretty pathetic when you get so excited over a tv show. But if you are reading this and haven't seen it, watch it! And start from the beginning. It's so good....

Op, never mind, got it :)

Friends List?

So can anyone tell me how to get the different list of your friends on the side? I know that you add a new element, I just don't know how to actually put the link on. Seriously, I am not computer retarded, but this whole blog thing is killing me for some reason!

Trying To Start Again....

So I got some tips from Wal and Lindz on how to make the blog not look so retarded, so here are my efforts after a good hour and a half! Not the best thing in the world, but better than it was at least. I'll try my best to keep it up, but life is busy. I am student teaching 30 nine year olds!! WOW. And that would be thirty different children who are nine, not 39-year-olds, ha. Josh has just put in his law school applications last week so we are impatiently waiting to see where our lives will take us in August. It is a little nerve-racking to think we will be in a state we have never been to before in 6 months, but I am hoping for the best! Well, let me know what you think, and encourage me to blog by commenting. :) Thanks.
