Gratitude on Day 6!

Okay here I am being a horrible blogger again!

The sixth thing I am grateful is actually the number one thing that I am grateful for! That's my husband!

I am so grateful for an amazing husband.

I know Trent and I were meant to meet the summer before our senior year. Some how before that we had never seen each other at high school. Even though we hung out with the same crowds. Ever since we met he has mad me happy, made me laugh, and has been an incredible friend! I will never forget staying up late into the night talking on the phone about anything and everything! That is when I began to understand that I could spend eternity with this amazing man.

While Trent was serving his mission he was such a strength to me. I don't think he realizes that with out his support for those two years I would not be the person I am today! He was constantly telling me that he just wanted me to be happy no matter where I ended up in life! This in turn made me fall in love with him even more! Thank you Trent for your support and confidence in me!

Thank you for always wanting to date me and to take me on fun dates! This was at the bees game and the utah game! I love You!

He is such an amazing man and from the day I met him I wanted to be a better person. Now that we are married I still strive to be a better person everyday.

He is such an example to me especially in his work and school. He is such a dedicated worker and loves what he does no matter what it is. There is not a time when he is not busy at work. As of right now he is helping his Dad.

I am so grateful for his hard work at our home and at his work. On Thursday after a long day at work I came home and Trent had raked all the leaves and filled the garbage can. I was so happy. It was something that had been on my mind for a long time and I just hadn't had a warm day to do it. Trent is so amazing he goes to school at 7 in the morning and then strait to work. Usually not returning from work until 7:30pm to 8pm! He works such long days but is still willing to help in anyway.

I am so thankful that he is so generous. Trent would do anything for anyone that asks him. He is more than happy to share his hard working talents, his math expertise with my sister, and still help me at home. I am so grateful for his generosity!

I am so thankful that I have an amazing husband who can make me laugh, feel good about my self, and be my best friend! I know that we are bound to have an amazing eternity together!

Thank you for allowing me to be silly and being silly with me! I love you my silly goose!

I love him more than life it's self! He is such an amazing man and I am so so lucky to have him!

Thank You TRENT for being who you are and putting up with me and loving me!!

Day 5 or so!

Ok I am a few days behind! So today Monday Nov. 8th! I am so grateful for

SAFETY!!

Today was a pretty scary day at school. At about 1:45 we were just about to go outside when the Principal came over the PA system and said, "We are on lockdown everyone to their rooms." I had to get all my students out of the hall way and into my room as quick as possible. A few minutes later the principal came over the PA again saying, "This is not a drill, this is a real lock down! Turn off your lights and stay quiet!"

Needless to say we are all safe! There was a robbery in Sandy that ended in Murray with a ditched car. Here is the link to a short story about it...

It was pretty adventurous! Kids peeing in a bucket because we had not had a break for the bathroom since lunch. Candy for a treat. Hang man for two hours. Story time by Mrs. Young! Pretty silly stories. Finally at about 4:15pm parents were allowed to pick up their kids! This was an hour and 15 mins. after school!

I am just so GRATEFUL for an amazing class that was able to listen and sit quietly for 2.5 hours!

Day 3 & 4

Ummm still thinking!

All I can think of again is how grateful I am for my mom who brought me clothes. She went to my house (15 min. drive) got some clothes for me and then drove them out to my work (25 min. drive in rush hour!) You are so amazing mom! It made me feel so much more confident so that I didn't haven't to wear my 50's garb all night!

Okay but really....

Day 3

I am so grateful for a sweet class! I think your first year of teaching is hard enough. Having a difficult class would blow me out of the water. I have 24 of the sweetest students. I was spoiled by the kindergarten teachers when they put the class lists together.

I have a mix of every personality from sparky, to mellow, ADHD to spoiled, anxiety ridden to do it your self. Bossy to I don't care, Happy to melancholy, and perfect to stressful! The mix of personalities truly makes a perfect class.

Each day with out fail one of my student's gives me a picture that they have drawn, to thank me or tell me they love me! Even a student has moved to homeschool brought me a card a week later saying she missed me. I truly miss her!

Although I have a difficult time waking up in the morning ( I am so not a morning person) I love getting to work and seeing their bright eyes ready to learn. After all my parent teacher conferences it is a testament to the parents that they are doing a wonderful job. Maybe I am a bit bias but my class is pretty darn perfect!

Day 4!

Well a perfect class only happens when you have awesome parents! The parents that are involved in my class are amazing! They are so willing to donate and be apart of the room. The planned to whole entire Halloween party I was able to relax and enjoy the day.

They are so willing to give up their time. Each morning I have a different parent willing to come help read with the student's and exchange out books. This makes my life so much easier!

They are so willing to donate. I have had so many donation and I love that they keep on coming. I have been given, crayons, gluesticks, white board marker, ziplocks, tissues, hand sanitizer, clorox wipes, and much more! I can not believe how generous people can be.

So thank you to my amazing classroom parents who are so willing to share their time and talents with my classroom!

Day two of being THANKFUL!

I am so thankful for amazing supportive parents! After starting my parent teacher conferences where some parents don't really care how their kids are doing, I am so grateful for parents that worried about me through school, friends, church, marriage, etc.

So THANK YOU MOM AND DAD!

Thank you for raising me in the amazing gospel of Jesus Christ. I don't know what I would do with out the gospel guiding my life. Tonight in young women's the bishop talked about how we know who we are and what we stand for. I know that I am a daughter of God and that he loves me and I love him. I stand for truth and righteousness. I am so grateful that I was raised with this knowledge.

Thank you so much for supporting me through school. It amazes me how parents can give up so easily on children. I am so grateful that you helped pay for part of my college career. I would have never completed or almost completed a graduate degree.

Thank you for challenging me to be my best and my self. I know you may not know it but it is because of you that I have confidence in my self and what I do. You taught me that by your example. Dad you have always been so humble. Mom you have always been so incredibly smart and helped me to achieve higher goals.

Thank you for always standing by me when friendships were hard. I know I was not the easiest of teenagers. I was so emotional I don't know how you put up with me so thank you. Thank you for teaching me to seek for friends that were amazing examples. I am so grateful that you are my friends and that we can have that friendship. It's more than just being there as a mom and dad. So thank you!

Thank you so much for showing me what an amazing marriage looks like. I am so grateful I have you to look up to and lean on as a couple in love. I am so grateful I was able to find an amazing companion that will treat me the way I have always seen dad treat you mom. I am so grateful that you have a strong marriage!

I could go on for days and days!

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!

It is not enough but I love you and I am so grateful you are my parents!

Being Grateful! Nov. 2nd!

Well a friend gave me this idea to write something I am thankful for every day of this Thankful month! So I am going to give it a try!

Today I am so thankful for a house to come home too. Today I had to stay at work extra long to prepare for parent teacher conferences. All I wanted to do was go home! It felt so nice to come home to my own kitchen, couch, bed, etc.

I was able to come home and cook dinner and make an apple crisp for YW's tomorrow!

I am thankful for a comfy couch!

A yummy popcorn machine! A Trent I am sure is grateful for a large TV!

I love the little things about having my own home. Decorating for one, I love decorating for each holiday. I love having my own washer and dryer. I did not realize how grateful I would be for a washer and dryer.

I love having a place that Trent and I can call home!

I look forward to someday buying our own home! But for now This is the perfect!

I am so thankful to be at home and not freezing on the street.

ThanK Goodness for my home!

Beautiful Park City Fall 2010

This year Trent and I were able to join the Young's up in park city a few times this fall! It was so gorgeous. We had so much fun riding the alpine slide and coaster! I am so glad we were able to see the beautiful colors before winter came. Thanks to the Young's for letting us come up and celebrate Dave's birthday and watch conference!

Riding up on the coaster!

The gorgeous scenery!
