Family,
Welp, it's been quite a week! Here is a little bit of what has been going on in my life:
WORK: Last Friday we had Parent/Teacher Conferences. It is always really nice to get to know the kids and then find out what their parents are like. All but 3 of the parents came. I have a lot of BYU volunteers in my classroom, which is so nice. I love the help. Most of them are people from our ward! I enjoy work and am so blessed to have a job that I love.
TEMPLE: I have now been working at the temple for a month. It has been wonderful. The people are so great and I am learning so much. I am grateful that I have had the opportunity to work there.
SOCIAL: I have been going on dates and such, but nothing awesome. I am kind of into this guy in our ward, but nothing is happening. I am a pretty social girl, so I always find social things to do. Last night we went to Laugh out Loud on campus. That was pretty fun. I enjoy living with Marissa (she teaches 1st grade with me). We thought we would be sick of each other since we teach together and work at the temple together and are doing the marathon together and living together. It has been a lot of fun though...a positive experience.
MARATHON: Well, I only have 6 days until the marathon. I am getting excited and nervous. Any phone calls, prayers, or notes of encouragement would really help. I have been training for 4 months. It has been a long and hard road. Probably one of the hardest things I've done in my life, but a very spiritual experience for me. It should be fun. Thanks to Justin and Melanie for your advice.
OTHER: I start teaching after school on Mondays and Tuesdays tomorrow. It shouldn't be too bad. It's only for an hour after school and I get paid like $20/hr. I started taking an ESL class on Thursday nights (4-7pm) through the district... so it is free. Every night I am pretty busy. It is really nice though. My life is so fulfilling and fun right now. I get to do all the things that I love.
Anyways, I sure love you guys! Write soon!
Love,
Haley

The Latest!
Family--
Welp, it's been a while since I've written, so I thought I would update you real quick on my life.
SCHOOL: Welp, tomorrow is the first day of school. I will be teaching 1st grade this time around. We had Back-to-School night on Thursday and I met a bunch of my students and their parents. I have 23 students in my class...that is a lot. This week has been filled with meetings and getting things ready for school.
WORK: My Preschool job ended Aug. 8, so it has been so nice to only have one job to worry about. Although it was really hard for me, I feel like I learned a lot having that experience this summer.
CHURCH: I am still the FHE Leader Co-chair. Today we got a new bishop and first counselor in our ward. That should make things pretty different. A lot of people have moved out of our ward since it is between summer term and fall semester. Needless to say, things are pretty quiet around here.
MARATHON: I am still training for my marathon at the beginning of October. After watching that Romanian lady run the marathon with 5 minute miles, I am beginning to wonder if I have what it takes. Yesterday I ran 15 miles and that about did me in! I will be happy when I have accomplished this though. It has been a lot of hard work and training. Something I thought I would never be able to do.
SOCIAL: We always do a lot of totally awesome stuff around here. Last weekend we had a ward formal dance and I went on a date flying with this dude named Vernon. He owns his own plane. It made me so sick to fly in it, I thought I was going to die! He also took me rock climbing which was pretty difficult. This summer Ashley and I have been going to comedy shows, we went to Zion's National Park, plays, swimming, hot tubbing, and random parties. It's been a fun summer.
Other than that, I'm sure you've all heard that I am dating someone. He's this guy named Aaron French, although he goes by just French. He is in our FHE group. I've known him since we moved here. We went out on a couple of really fun dates and then we started dating last Sunday officially. It has been great so far. He always comes to the school to help me out and is so considerate. He was out of town this weekend, so it's been kind of lonely. Anyways, here is a picture of me and him. This is at the Ward Formal Dance.
Welp, sure love you guys. Hope to hear from you soon.
Love,
Haley

Welp...
Hey Family!!!
I just thought I'd drop a quick line and let you know what is going down in my life:
MARATHON: Yeah, yesterday I ran 9 miles and it about killed me...that is only a third of what I have to run. I am really begin to question if I will be capable to do this. I don't know if I'm intense enough.
WORK: Yeah, I had to quit my day job to train for the marathon (j/k). But really, my summer school job ended, so now I just have my Preschool job in the afternoons. I fill my mornings with working on stuff for school. I had to move classrooms since I am teaching a different grade next year. It has been a lot of hard work.
SOCIAL: Last weekend I went on a date with this dude to the John Schmidt concert. It was totally awesome. I love the piano! I wish I was better at playing it. Ashley already told you about the other cool stuff we did.
Anyways, I guess that is all for now. I sure love you guys.

Sorry there aren't any pics, Austin...
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! :)
