CRAZY!!!

I feel like I've gone crazy! I have seriously worked more hours in the last couple of months than any normal human being should. Probably not, but I feel like it!! I don't get to blog much because I decided to build a house on a teacher's salary. If I want to be able to pay my mortgage than I need to have a second job. I started teaching connections, an after school program at Ashley, four nights a week. I may have to cut back but we'll see. My school day offically starts at 8:00 or 7:30, if we have faculty meeting, and then the nagging and bossing of children continues until 6:00 P.M. when connections closes, if all the parents are on time to pick their children up. Don't worry I have to come in before that or stay after to get my "work" done. Sorry I'm just venting.

House Update:

I have a roof!!! The plumber is supposed to be plumbing as we speak! I seriously can not wait to pick out all the fun stuff. I found a picture of my dream kitchen

of course mine won't look exactly like that but it is my inspiration. Stay tuned to see if it turns out!

Picts of the House

Here are the pictures of my house:

My kitchen. Look I'm being domestic already. Ha, ha, ha!

Walls

It's official. I have walls on my house. No roof, just walls!!! Pictures to come.

House

So here it is the foundation of my house. WOOO HOOO!!!
I do have a floor in my basement and a "baby wall" also but those pictures are on my camera at home. I can't believe that I am slowly getting work done on my house it seems like it is taking eons. I promise that I will post a little more often and keep you all updated.

Baby Aaden

A couple of months ago my brave, baby sister had a little boy. His name is Aaden Jade Owens. Here is a picture of my little hero and her baby. What a champ.

After Aaden was born mom called Shannon and I and we rushed down to the hospial. He was so adorable and he had hair. We couldn't believe it. Claire's little Isabel had really fine blonde haire and you could hardly see it. Here's the lovely picture of me with Aaden. (I look adorable too! Not even.)

AAHHHHH! Isn't he beautiful!

His shirt says that he's 100% kissable and that is so true!!
So I realize this post is a little late but I just had to show my friends my newest little nephew.

Roommate & Halloween

About six weeks ago I miraculously got a new roommate. Her name is Rebecca and she is our school's new dance teacher and she is awesome. I would post some pictures but I've seemed to misplace my camera (either alone or with the help of some sticky-fingered students). She is so much fun. She recently ran a marathon in St. George and qualified to run the Boston Marathon. YIPEEE!!!! She has tried for quite awhile to qualify.

Friday USU had a Halloween party and Becca and I went with a few more friends and we had a blast. She made me dress up. I was a train conductor and she was Rosie something from the World War 2 posters. We had a ton of fun dancing the night away. Once again no pictures due to no camera.

Hmm

I know that it's been a long time since I've blogged, but that's because I don't really have anything to blog about. I guess some stuff has happened in my life in the last couple of weeks let's see....

First of all we bought my mom and dad season tickets for BYU football games for their anneversary last year and instead of just 2 tickets we got 4 so I've gotten to go to quite a few of the games. (And my friend Robyne has season tickets and she took me a few times also.) Can I just say that I am a huge fan of football. It is so much fun going to a game and watching the players crash into each other, watching the home team win, and feeling the excitement in the air. I love it! BYU had the longest winning streak until last Thursday so it was fun to watch because they won all of their home games thus far.

Second I had some of my guts pulled out. Last Monday I had my galbladder removed. This is technically my second surgery, but my first was when I was 6 months old so I don't remember that. I was so scared!! The day before my surgery was Fast Sunday and I fasted for all to go well and when my Dad gave me a blessing and told me to not be affraid that everything would go right I knew that I needed to have faith that priesthood blessings come from God and not my Dad and after that I was all right. Even when they told me that the doctor wouldn't be in until 10:00 and I was supposed to have surgery at 8:00. I stayed calm the whole time, usually I freak out over everything medicine wise. On Thursday I stopped taking the drugs and I'm not in pain. My scars itch a little but that's all.

That's all I can think of right now.
