Oh, I forgot one more thing...

I'M KNOCKED UP!!!

Wooohooo!!

I'm almost 14 weeks. Baby is due mid April.

If you've been on Facebook I'm sure you already knew, but just in case I thought I'd mention it here too.

Since it's been almost 3 months since I last blogged...

...it's probably time for a quick update.

I started my new job (music specialist) at my new school (North Point Elementary in Lehi) and just like I expected.... I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT!!!!!! There are some things I miss about 6th grade, like having my own class and the unity and the relationships... but my new job is just so amazing and PERFECT for me!!! Tuesday through Friday, 9 to 2ish... very little planning/prep, no grading, no report cards, no parent-teacher conferences, no angry parent drama.... It's like a dream come true!!!

Topher is getting so big! It's kind of crazy how fast he learns and grows. Since he's two and a half, his daycare teacher (who also does preschool) put him in her three year old preschool class and she constantly tells me that he is the smartest one in the group. He says and does things every day that make Jay and I laugh.

Speaking of Jay, October 9 was our anniversary. We've been married for 7 years. That's basically an eternity. Wowzers, how the time flies!!! Soon we'll be old fogeys arguing over which brand of branflakes to buy. I'm amazed that I still like him after all this time. :)

It's late. I'm exhausted. If I think of anything else *important* to say, I'll possibly be back to post again in a few days.

Summer.

Summer is going by too fast. I don't know how that always happens!!!

I haven't blogged since March and so much has happened since then. There's no possible way I can catch up on everything, so here are a few random highlights.

*We went to Disneyland for a week in April with Jay's family. REALLY fun! Topher absolutely loved it.

*I got a new job. Leaving my amazing 6th grade teacher position at Sandy Elementary. I can't even begin to describe how heartbroken I am to be leaving the place and people that I love. But my new job will be awesome. I'm the Music Specialist for North Point Elementary in Lehi. It's part time and closer to home, and I get to work with K-6 and be the fun, wild, crazy, loud music lady! So yeah, it totally fits me.

*I tried hardcore potty-training Topher. He was NOT having it. So still in diapers.

*My 10 year high school reunion is this weekend and I'm in charge of it. I'm terrified that no one will show up, or that some people will show up and be bored and regret coming. Eeek. Trying not to stress out about it. My friend Todd told me just to say whoever comes, comes, and it'll be fun no matter what. So that's what I'm trying to think.

*We've spent a lot of time on the boat. We spent a week at Lake Powell with Jay's parents and we went to Jordanelle with friends last weekend. Next week we're going to Yuba with more of Jay's family. You'd think I'd get better on that stupid wakeboard, but to no avail. I still suck.

*Spend a weekend on Cedar mountain at my parents' cabin with my fam. REally fun just chilling, riding four wheelers, not stressing.

*CURSE YOU, KRISTIN PARSON, for introducing me to YOGURTLAND!!! I'm completely obsessed! I find excuses to go to Orem just so I can go there! I've been three times in the last week!!! So so so so so so so yummy!


Okay, I'm sure there's lots more, but I'm done thinking for right now.

Songs.

Is it weird that:

I love love LOVE "Just the Way You Are" by Bruno Mars
but I strongly dislike "Grenade" by Bruno Mars?

I love love LOVE "Teenage Dream" and "California Gurls" by Katy Perry
but I strongly dislike "I Kissed a Girl" and "Firework" by Katy Perry?

I love love LOVE "Tik Tok" by Ke$ha but HATE all other Ke$ha songs I've ever heard?

I take lots of pictures...

...but I never download them until months later! I still haven't gotten pictures off my camera from Christmas!! So I am promising that in the next two weeks I WILL have new pictures to post on here.

It's almost March, and...

...I'm STILL eating Valentines Day candy!!! Eeeek!

I love shopping the day after a holiday. I get all excited and buy all sorts of stuff because it's 50% off or whatever. February 15th was not a good day for my diet (and every day since then).

I am sad. My gym membership is up in mid-March, and since I broke my toe I haven't been to the gym in weeks. I'm having HUGE exercise withdrawls, I'm gaining weight like crazy, and I miss seeing the bright shiny face of my trainer Matt. I'm not renewing my membership.... unless Golds announces that they're building a gym in Saratoga Springs which is unlikely. I'll be fine once my foot heals and it gets warm and I can run outside, etc etc but I will definitely miss my Matt.

Lots of stuff crammed in a short blog.

Topher is two. Yikes. I have a two year old.

Spent last weekend in Cedar with the Phis. Red Dress Gala. Love those girls.

PACKERS WIN THE SUPERBOWL!!!!!!

I got so excited at the end of the superbowl that my victory dance went terribly wrong and I broke my toe. Have to wear a boot for a month. Ouch.

Jazz vs. Bulls game tomorrow night. SOOO excited. I'm 93% sure I'll get on TV. Just wait, you'll see why. It's going to be epic.

Jay asked what I wanted to do for Valentines. I said get take out and stay home. Boring. But that's life right now.
