Now entering...

So I've never done this before but I'm thinking that this is what is going to help me pass my time while Andrew studies hard! I've often thought about blogging as I often have stories that I feel everyone should hear, but realizing that isn't the case...I just need to spit it out somewhere. Therefore, this new found blog might be a relief to many of you as you can just read up on the little things that happen in my life rather than getting a daily phone call.
After Andrew found out that he got into the MBA program at BYU and after work was done for the school year we played and played. We had a fabulous summer of traveling to CA, MT, and MD. I ate crab for the first time, and Andrew helped with harvest for the first time. Life was so carefree...we really had fun!
I've started my fourth year teaching and I think it's been the best year so far. That could be because I'm free from my masters classes and from other professional trainings that were required by the district in my first three years. Also, not to mention, my fourth graders are fabulous! They are so obedient and just good kids. I don't have any students that seem high-strung or that go looking to cause trouble. Refreshing.
Andrew has been enjoying getting back into school. He stays right on top of his work and is happy to be in classes with is twin brother.

We went to New Jersey with Andrew's parents.

A nice mom...patiently waiting for the ferry.

A nice dad smiling.

We saw fireworks on the beach in Ocean City, MD! It was so fun and gorgeous!

We went to Kalispell, MT for a Quinn Family Reunion.

Flathead Lake, MT

We had some close encounters at the Hogle Zoo.

We enjoyed a trip to the beach in San Fransisco with Andrew's sister Lindsey and her cute family!

We went back up to MT and I had liderhousen cake for my birthday!

Andrew got to practice his shot in the wide open spaces!

We bonded with my cute nephew, Jacob. Andrew is a good bubble blower!
