I have been horrible at posting lately! Justin and I have been busy since the new year began with work and student teaching. Things probably don't seem that much busier for Justin but things have become pretty crazy for me! I am student teaching in a 3rd grade class at Draper Elementary, so I leave each day at 7:00 am and get home around 4:30 and spend the rest of the evening planning lessons! Whew, it is a lot of fun though. I only have one more week in this class and then will be placed in a new school in a grade between 4th-6th. Those older kids scare me... the 6th graders at my school look like they could be my age! How am I supposed to manage and discipline students who look like they are my peers?! I am fully in charge of my class this week and the next and it is taking some getting used to-- having only 30 minutes before school and after for preparation is not enough! Anyway, besides those events we are doing the usual. Justin is playing intramural innertube water polo and basketball through our ward. He's trying to get me to do the water polo... not so sure about that... winter time is not prime bathing suit time!
We went up to Justin's sisters house in Kaysville a few weekends ago for our nephew's 1st birthday party and his older brother's basketball game. We were thoroughly entertained by the 5 year olds running around on the court! Jacob is a great sport and fast runner! He never gave up even when the lil' guy on the other team would not stop defending him!
We're excited for our first Valentine's Day together as a married couple! Justin better watch out though...I had one of my 3rd graders ask me to be his Valentine. We have exciting plans for Friday night...when we decided to celebrate the holiday instead of Saturday night. I'll share the details after this weekend :-)
Justin and I also got certified for CPR this past Saturday....that was an...experience. It was good to learn everything that we did but it was a very high-risk environment! We both left feeling very stressed and worn out from the written test and the practicum! We are certified none-the-less!
We are kinda boring probably and this is probably a boring post....sorry! I'll do better--or try to--from now on!

It's so good to hear everything that you guys are up to! It sounds like you are really busy but that is great you are enjoying student teaching! That intramural water polo thing sounds fun! But I'm with you on the whole bathing suit in the winter thing.
I hope that you guys have a great Valentine's Day!
Your Valentine weekend plans sound fun ( I already know what they are!). Hope you guys enjoy your time together since you've been so busy and preoccupied with other things lately. Love you both.
