We made ghosts and hung them along our hallway. Hopefully they scare off any intruder :)

Mission Reunion October 2009

On Friday I had my mission reunion at the Gregory residence. It was such a great time! I love Ecuador and the 18 months I had there, so being able to see all my old comps and friends but an amazing experience. Luckily I live in Provo right now so I get to see a lot of these amazing people pretty often, but having everyone together in the same place for an entire evening was a great experience. I loved catching up on what is going on in everyone's life and reminising about our mission experiences. I'm so grateful for the opportunity I had to serve a mission and get to know all these sweet, talented, loving, caring individuals.

BYU Football Game

I went to my first BYU football game on September 26. My wonderful roommate, Heather had an extra ticket so I got to go with her. I'm not the biggest football fan, but I do love BYU and I enjoy supporting them. It was a great game and we kicked some trash! I now feel that I'm ready to leave Provo, having gone to a game!

Back to School Night

So I just got back from doing Back to School Night. It was a great experience. This year is going to bring so many new experiences for me. I love being in this spot-the whole year ahead of me. I can't remember a time in my life when I didn't want to be a teacher. Since Kindergarten I have known that a teacher is what I would be when I grew up. I'm so grateful for that. Meeting my students made it all very real. They were all so excited and eager for second grade. It really made me realize the responsibility that I have. Being a teacher is such a big deal. I now have 25 + little people watching my every move and assuming what I do is 'right'. It puts a lot on my shoulders. But at the same time it makes me want to be better and do better. It gives me a purpose and I feel needed.
