MIA

I am MIA in teaching and do not have time to blog like I used to. I miss it, I really do, but you will have to wait until I get my life more together before I come back. Have a great week and know that I am doing just great!

Love,

Kinsey

Teaching is bad for my health...

I have never had so many paper cuts in my life...and I have had a lot, you can even ask Clint, he has always been surprised by how easily I get paper cuts. I am not even allowed to open mail anymore. Thats all!

Just Livin' The Dream

Yes, we are still alive and kickin! No, we do not have as much free time as we once did for important things like blogging, exercising (that is always the first thing to go), twitter (gotta keep our peeps informed), facebook, cooking or more important things like showering and shaving (nobody is perfect). It has been a very hectic and crazy past three weeks. Between moving, me starting my first year as a teacher, Clint starting school again, plumbing issues at our new place we have been just loving each other and looking forward to having some time together (which is mostly on the weekends). It has been an adventure though, a new step in our life.

I love, love, love teaching! I have the best class ever, and my students are just all so fun and adorable. It has been an adventure teaching but I feel so comfortable with it, it just comes so naturally and part of that is because I have very reliable paraprofessionals! I swear they can read my mind because every time I ask for something its already been done. They are great. I am lucky to have them!

Clint's first week has gone well, and lets hope it stays that way. He is taking 18 credits this semester because with his sugar mama he doesn't have to work. He has been great at moving us out and in and cleaning our old place, they land lady told me he did a "fabulous job" and that I "am a lucky girl to have him." We had a great labor day weekend together, boating, being with family and just getting away from our still not unpacked house. Unpacking has always been my weakness. Anyway, just wanted to let you know things are still going on and I haven't forgotten about our adorable blog just put it on the back burner with everything else I have going on. Thanks for all the support we have received from family in painting, moving, cleaning and putting my classroom together, you are amazing! We love you!

New apartment!

So, Clint and I were on a trip to find a new apartment and found this gem...cheap rent, bigger than where we are now, close to the freeway entrance, and it looks like a cellar from the outside....other perk we were able to paint it! So here are the before and after pictures! Something we both learned painting takes a lot more time than we thought but is so worth it!











And here is our throne...literally a throne, love it!

The Future of Flying

Am I the only one or does it seem like airlines charge for everything now a days....this video spoke to me. Hope you find it as entertaining as I did.

Pioneer Day

Seven Peaks, our favorite pastime

Here is how we celebrated Pioneer day with Clint's Aunt and Uncle. It was so much fun!

Quote of the day "If people had water fights in replace of war we would have world peace." It's true, no one is mad during a good water fight





Our Team!

Summer Time has been Busy

This summer has been very different from last summer. Last summer Clint and I were livin' the dream. Living part time at my parents house and playing with them all summer long, family reunions, traveling to California and Chicago and the best part was we were not working or in school. It was pretty incredible. This summer has been just as incredible but very different. Clint has a full time internship up in North Salt Lake (the commute alone takes over two hours all together) and I have been teaching at a summer school (part of my schooling) and taking a class (both of which take all day of my life). Even though our days have been busier we still make time for each other and find time to have fun with family and friends. We have just had a really strong and good taste of what it is like to become an adult. Lucky for me yesterday was the last day of summer school! As fun as it was I am so excited to have more time to get my classroom ready starting in August and more time to make dinner and just have more fun:) Either way on the busy days when we are both exhausted beyond reason we will always have last summer!

Batting Cages with our Neighbors, I forgot how fun batting cages are! Awesome date night!
