time for an update!

Whew, life has been pretty crazy here in this neck of the woods. So....it's time for another update bullet style!

<>Brent has been busy with school and work. He is such a champ and I love him dearly. The semester is coming to a close and I think Brent is ready for the summer off of school. You are almost there, Brent! He actually told me today that if he goes to school full time he might be able to finish in 2 semesters. Hooray!!

<>Last week I went to MASS (Managing Aggressive Students Successfully) training for Provo District. It was amazing. It was a good reminder of the things I learned in school oh so long ago. Okay, it hasn't been that long....but sometimes it seems like it! Things like PRAISE! Ahhh, loved it.

<>I have been applying to jobs like crazy. I check nearly every single day to see if there are new jobs posted. I have applied to about 20 so far. It's stressful to have to wait for the posting to close and see if I will hear anything.

<>I had an interview last Wednesday for a job at a middle school in Orem. It is for a co-teaching position. I haven't had much experience (or none...) with co-teaching but I think the interview went well. They wanted to have a decision made before Spring Break which started after school on Friday, but I haven't heard yet. Maybe after the break...

<>I also had an interview on Friday with the Alpine District. That went really well. The two people that interviewed me seemed really nice. The man said, "I was just reading in one of your letters that you kept everyone at Springville Jr laughing. I can tell that you do that. A comment you said earlier made me think that you sure are witty." I'm not sure if that is exactly what I wanted them to say about me....but better to be witty than super bleh huh? haha

<>Thursday was Brent's day off and we decided to go to the temple to do sealings. There is such a peaceful feeling in the temple and it was just what I needed. It was wonderful to be reminded of the covenants I made in the temple with Brent over 2 years ago. I'm so grateful for temple marriage and for the promise of eternal life with Brent. What a sweet blessing it is.<>Saturday night we dyed Easter eggs! Oh my goodness, it was so much fun. Brent made some neat eggs. What a Star Wars nerd I am married too.
<>Today is Easter. I'm so grateful that I know that Jesus Christ lives. I'm grateful for His resurrection. Where would we be without Him?
<>PS....not to take away from the message of Easter, but the bunny did visit me. The Bunny aka Brent got me this beautiful picture! We saw it the other day and it was too expensive for me to even ask for it. Brent had a coupon though and knew I would love it. What a good boy he is! The bunny also brought me a basket. Man, that bunny sure loves me! The bunny also has something for Brent....but hasn't gotten it yet. The bunny is going to get Brent baseball gloves! One for him and one for me. Sweet huh?
<>I also cut Brent's hair today between the conference sessions. First time ever! I think he looks pretty cute. What do you think? Jeannie....I know it's a little rough, but not so bad for my first time! :)

So I wandered into Build a Bear yesterday and I saw a Darth Vadar, Storm Trouper, and Luke Skywaker outfits for the bears. It made me think of you and Brent. I was pictured Brent trying on the minature star wars masks.... Oh how much I laughed...

Holy cow I'm UBER jealous of your picture... I've been dying to get a big b/w floral painting for our room and just haven't ever done it. Where did your sweet hubby get it?
