ISS
so today was my first day of In school Suspension... we were in a room with out windows for 7 hours, but it was not that bad. i Would like to thank Mom and Dad for fiighting for me even thou i made a VERY STUPID decision in putting a freshman in the trashcan. any way incase your all not aware my 3 days out of school suspension was droped to 3 days I.S.S. which as far as i know does not go on my record... but i am now walking on egg shells and if i mess up once they they are going to throw THE BOOK at me. I am also prob being removed from NHS and Mabes my office of Student Body Prez... it is amazing how just one action can really take away every thing you have worked so hard for.

Life Back In Provo
FAMILY!!! i want to point out that we are totally failing at this blog updating thing. Dad, you did such a good job with the beach photos and i totally loved looking at them and reading about your time in myrtle but i forgot comment and stuff so you knew i was looking at them :] so, dont worry, the pictures were appreciated!
a tiny update on life here. i am super busy! classes take up so much time. im usually on the go from like 9 until 5 so i forget to eat even though i remember to bring like fruit and stuff with me to work. its not until the end of my classes that i realize i haven't eaten since breakfast! but dont worry, i'm not withering away to nothing.
tomorrow i start my first day of teaching pe in the elementary school! I'm teaching at Art City Elementary in Springville, UT which is just like 20 min south of Provo. I'll be teaching first graders gym every wednesday afternoon for the next 5 weeks. I'm excited to get in the school and start teaching (make sure i'm actually in the right major...) and just to be around kids! but im nervous about messing up or totally failing and realizing i suck at teaching. hopefully all will go well. I will be sure to let you know. we are having another set of byu students video tape our teaching (im paired w another girl so we split the lesson) so we have to like analyze our teaching and stuff. that should be fun...needless to say, i'm nervous. i just keep telling myself that they are little 6 year olds and that its gym class so i can't really mess them up in my 30 minutes with them :] i gotta remember to enjoy it!
today president monson came and spoke at the marriott center devotional. it was really cool. it is always cool when you get to hear the prophet speak in person. even being in a giant stadium, far away from him you can feel his amazing spirit. it is so cool when he walks in, everyone immediately becomes silent and stands. i love that feeling. today some students started an improptu singing of "we thank thee oh god for a prophet". the spirit was really cool. His talk was also really great, he kind of just recapped all the prophets from his lifetime before him. It was cool to hear some first hand stories, and he also gave us odd tid-bits about each of them: their favorite song, favorite food, favorite quote and the endearing quality they would want us to follow from their lives. It made them feel more like real people to me. Bryan made a cool point when he was talking; she asked me "do you think he discussed with those prophets what they would have wanted to share with us?" I hadn't thought of it, but President Monson totally could have had the help of all those past prophets in writing his talk for today. cool stuff. you should watch it if you get a chance (click here), he's a pretty funny guy.
i love you guys and hope we can do a better job of updating! i miss you all so much and want to kiss your faces and hug you lots!!! xooxox love I

Wow this blog was not made for photos, you have to upload each one, one at a time and with my Internet speed it takes a long time. Suffice it to say, if you want to see more of our photos of myrtle beach trip you'll have to visit my facebook page. We did have a great time. We went to the aquarium where the sharks swam over your head, so cool. And we went to a big stage production magic show and a acrobatic circus, incredible shows. Also on our last day Allan, Marlene and I went "flying" para sailing and on a rough banana boat ride. No joke it was like riding a bucking bronco!

Well Aunt Hellen and i Are having a fabulous time here at home, we are eating 3 meals a day, she eats cereal, cheese sand witch and a frozen dinner. my meals normally consist of bagels, corn dogs, and burritos. YUM! this morning at breakfast aunt Hellen asked, "Where is Every one?" astonished i stared with my jaw open... i asked her if she remembered talking to Mary last night on the phone... she didn't. so i told her the various locations of all our family members. i hope she remembers... MISS YOU ALL!!!
