August 14th 2007
Welcome to our blog! Dave and I were married August 14th 2007 in the Salt Lake LDS Temple. I can't speak for Dave, but I love being married! ~I am pretty sure he does too. :) It is so great to have someone to share my life with. We have so much fun together. We love traveling and spending time with our family and friends. Here is a little bit more about us...
Dave served a 2 year religious mission in the Dominican Republic. He then graduated from the University of Utah with a degree in business finance while also completing his pre-medical requirements. He attended Creighton University school of medicine. He started in the fall of 2009. He is now a resident in dermatology and internal medicine at University of Wisconsin hospitals.
I graduated from the University of Utah in Elementary Education. I taught 2nd grade at Bancroft Elementary. Bancroft is a great school and I loved working with everyone there. When Cole was born I decided to stay at home with him. I am loving every minute of my time with him.
We have made so many great friends in Omaha and in Madison. But we still love and miss our family and friends in Utah! We hope this blog will help them feel connected to us, even if we aren't around as much as we'd like to be. Enjoy!

Gas...

What is it about farting that causes so much hysterics in young children and adults (or at least young at heart adults) alike?? Well, like I already said, I know that stories from me cannot possible relate the silliness of actually being there, but here is another funny story from classroom Orange 3. It was during an innocent science lesson on the states of matter. My class was naming the three states, solids, liquids, and yes, Gas. The particular student who happened to be called on to name the 3rd state had a bit of a hoarse voice when he answered. And "Gas" came out sounding, well a bit too much like the bodily function. My whole class sprang into fits of laughter that of course I could not escape myself! We were all laughing so hard that it was causing us to laugh even harder. Anyone who has ever played the laughing game will know what I mean. Finally I turned around to my white board took a big breath and tried for some much needed composure if I was ever going to get my class back to the science lesson. The class calmed as well and we were able to get back on task. But seriously those few minutes were hilarious!
Morale: There is just something about the word gas that is beyond funny, my students don't laugh as hard when one of them really farts (which happens more often then I'd like to smell)
Oh, the life of a 2nd grade teacher is not dull. :)
