The Weekend Update

This was a great weekend, sans the fact that I was sick the entire time. Here's what we did:

Friday-
Friday afternoon my mom called me and said that they were having a catered ward dinner with a really well-known marriage therapist speaker. So well known that I have subsequently totally forgotten his name. Anyways, even though I thought it was weird to go to my parent's ward activity I figured free dinner and a show was worth it. And it totally was! The speaker was awesome (as was the food) and he had some really good insights into making the gospel apply yo your marriage. After dinner we headed back to Provo for a bonfire/birthday party for our good friend Sanford. On the way up the canyon we slid off the road...not so good. We were really lucky not to hit any other cars. Scott, our friend who was right behind us, was not so lucky. He hit a car that had already spun out of control and had decided that parking in the middle of the street was the most sure fire way not to get hit. Seriously. Anyways, in the hour and a half we were there waiting for the cops and everything to get cleared we witnessed at least eight more accidents, most of which were caused by the cops who also decided to park in the street instead of on the shoulder. Idiots. So Friday was a bit of a downer, but things went up from there.

On Saturday I woke up to this.



Chris had gotten up at three in the morning and gone to the store without me knowing (I sleep like a rock, Chris could be leading a secret night life and I would be totally in the dark) He also surprised me with dinner reservations at Ottavio's and tickets to the Twelfth Night at the Orem Scera Theater. It was really fun. I don't think I have been to a play since London. I hope you all had a wonderful weekend too!

P.S. My card played " Let's Get It On." How much more romantic could you get?

And yes, those flowers are in a pitcher, I have no vases. I choose to think of it as artsy.

What's my age again?

I haven't updated in a while since I don't really feel like I have much of interest to write about. Mostly, I just go to different random schools every day to sub, then come home and go to the gym with Chels. I have had a couple of sort of funny experiences while substitute teaching though. Pretty much every day I have a student ask me if I am in high school (this is usually when I am in the elementary schools). This always makes me feel really good about myself, but I love to see the looks on their faces when I tell them that I am actually a college graduate. Ha, I really showed them! The other day I had a student (fourth grader) ask me if I was in high school, when I said no that I was a college graduate he said "then what are you, like forty-five!?" I am really interested to know how I went from looking sixteen to forty-five in the space of ten seconds. Nice, kid. Also, a sixth grader asked me for my number a couple of weeks ago. I am going to give him the benefit of the doubt and guess that it was a dare.

Basically though, my job is pretty boring, and I cannot wait for the day when I actually get to have my own classroom. Maybe by then I will have matured enough not to look pre-pubescent.
