Crappy day!

As I was at school today one of the other second grade teachers had the guts to tell me that I was not a good teacher and should not be doing this. She told me I should find something else to do. Now let me remind you this lady has NEVER see me teach and knows nothing about me. I have no idea where she got her information from or why she said that. I did not know what to say to her. It took so much for me not to cry in front of her. I was glad that I was almost done copying so I could get the heck away from her.

I really do love what I am doing. Yes it is hard being away from home and I am not the person I was 6 months ago, but people have to understand that I have been through hell and I am not the happy person I use to be. I am trying to find that person again but it is not easy with everything that has gone on.

I love being with kids and am so ready for my own classroom. I just want to get this student teaching done and get back to Oregon where there are people that love me for me. Thanks to everyone for all the love and support you have given me. I would not be doing this if it was not for my father pushing me and for you. I love you all so much.

Las Vegas

Mom and Moe came to Las Vegas to see me. We all wanted to be together for father's day because we knew it would be hard. We got to spend time together. We had so much fun. We went and saw the Hoover Dam and hung out on the Strip. We all enjoyed it so much, but the weekend went by to fast and I was not ready to say good-bye Sunday night.

I wish the weekend could have lasted forever, but Moe had to get back to work.

I am so grateful to have Mom and Moe in my life they have been so much support to me as I am trying to get done with school. I am thankful to everything they do for me and am happy to call them my best friends. I love them both so much and cannot wait to be with them again.

6 Months

I cannot believe it has been 6 months. It sure has gone by fast. There is no way we would have made it without all the support, prayers, and love. I want to thank everyone for everything you have done for me and my family. We are so grateful for everything. There is no way we can thank you enough for all you have done.

My father would be so grateful for the help you have given my mother at this time. I know he is watching from above and is pleased at what he is seeing.

I know my father is where he needs to be and is doing what he needs to be doing. I am sure he is sharing the gospel with everyone and just being a great missionary up there. There are many time every day I can hear his voice telling me how happy he is and how he cannot wait for us to be together again. I am so blessed to have him as my father and I love him so much. I cannot wait for the day we will all be together and he can give me a big hug. Dad I love you tons!

Flat Stanley

Right now I am in Las Vegas doing my student teaching. I am in 2nd grade and loving it. I had to do a unit with my kiddos so I picked to do Flat Stanley. Flat Stanley is a boy who got flat one night by a bulletin board. He goes on my adventures, so my kids sent out Flat Stanley all over the United States. They had so much fun with it. We learned a lot about the different places.
Here are a bunch of picture we got back. The kids really enjoyed it.

I am really enjoying student teaching but so ready to be back in Oregon. Las Vegas is way to hot for me and I really miss my mom.
