Hey Family!
Here's my update:
WORK: I'm still working my two jobs. The Summer School job ends this week and I am VERY excited about that. I will be working my Preschool job in the afternoons until the end of the summer. It's too bad that I liked my Summer School job WAY better than the Preschool one, but that's okay.
CALLING: My calling in the ward is FHE Co-Chair. I helped arrange the FHE groups and stuff. Last Monday we had a Ward FHE doing a 'Dive-in' Movie. We watched JAWS while swimming in the pool. We were playing and having a blast way more than actually watching the movie. We had awesome treats that went along with the theme as well: goldfish, lifesavers, Swedish fish, etc.
SOCIAL: I went to Laugh Out Loud with some people in the ward on Friday night. It was the funniest show I've ever seen. My old mission companion, Hna. Hellewell came to visit on Thursday. It was good to see her. I've been pretty sick this week, so that has caused me to be less social and more boring. Justin and his kids came to visit this week for a day. It was a lot of fun. We swam, went to Wal Mart and of course to Legacy Hall...
INTERESTING: Anthony is getting married in Ogden next week (Thursday). I have really been looking forward to his wedding, seeing as how he is my favorite cousin and all...plus, I get to skip work! My marathon training is going well. Yesterday I ran for 2 hours straight. I was pretty sore to say the least! I got a letter from the Provo Temple and should be working there within the next month.
Sure love you guys!

Stuff...
Things are great here in P-town. We are just living it up, like always. This week was particularly fun because I went to the Manti Pagent, H.M.S. Pinafore shown on campus, and a totally awesome carnival in Orem, and saw Horton Hears a Who on Monday night. It was a blast!
I also started teaching 2nd grade summer school at Farrer from 8:30-12:30, M-Th. In the afternoons I teach at the Preschool from 2-6:15. It's a busy schedule, but at least summer school only lasts for 4 weeks. It's great experience for my teaching.
Ashley has been really sick this week...like almost every day. She is slowly getting better.
On Friday I went on a cousins date with Elaine, Cathy, and Amelia (yeah, kind of a weird group). It was fun though. We went up to Uncle Forrest's and had a barbeque and played games.
Many of you know that I am training for a marathon in October. It has really been consuming my life, but I'm excited to do it. It should be fun. I am also signed up to work as a temple worker here in Provo. It should be awesome. I hope they call me into work soon. Welp, I sure love you guys! Enjoy the pics! :)

I'm 24!!!
Well, I had a pretty awesome birthday...probably the best one yet, so I thought I would let you all know about it...
I got up early and Ashley made a huge pancake breakfast for a bunch of our buddies in the ward to celebrate my birth. A lot more people came than we expected and we were definitely flirting it up.
Then I got to school and the custodian had decorated my room complete with streamers, candy, flowers, balloons, etc. It came as quite a shock to me. When school started, several of my students brought me gifts and cards. One kid even brought in a cake. The principal came to my class and sang to me too.
As a great gift to me, Ashley came to my class and taught them for an hour. It was a nice break for me and they loved it. She also brought in cookies to share. Then I took the kids to PE.
When I picked them up, they had made me a birthday poster and wished me happy birthday. When it was lunch time, I the teachers gave me "snack packs", since that is my nickname and took me out to lunch. After lunch, I fed the kids cake and they said I was the best teacher ever.
I got about 70 facebook messages and 10 phone calls and then it was time for us to go to Brickoven to meet up for dinner. About 17 of my buddies showed up. It was a blast! There was barely enough room at the table for everybody. The best part was that I got to sit near my two crushes.
Afterwards we went to Bethany's house for cookie cake. She got me some candy and Ashley got me a dating book, flip flops, and a shirt. Then we got home just in time to go Salsa dancing with some friends. It was a lot of fun. I got to dance with this guy I like the entire night...pretty awesome.
I got home a little before 12 and the party wasn't over. One of our buddies brought over a cake and another brought me a card and there were more visits.
By the time it was midnight, I was sad that my birthday was over. All I know is that 24 is WAY BETTER than 23!!!!! :)

Family,
Well, I guess I forgot about a little promise that we each made at the August family reunion to post something on the family blog every month. I will try to do better. Things are going fine in my life. We just got through Dr. Seuss week at school...the kids loved it!! We even made green eggs and ham (I would eat them with a mouse!) I also started teaching Kindergarten after school. Now I teach until 5pm Monday-Thursday. It is really hard work, but good pay and experience. I have been sick all week, but I am getting over this horrible cold. I continue to go running every day and go to the temple and institute weekly. I am still dating Matt, but things have been pretty rocky lately, so we shall see. I started reading a Jeffrey R. Holland book. I am trying to be better a person by reading more. Anyways, I guess I don't have much else to say. I sure love you guys. Thanks for your prayers and support. You are awesome!
