fun run

J: I want to go around again. Cept, I want someone to come with me.

Mrs. H: Okay, why don't you take Mr. Tripp with you? (Mr. Tripp is a track coach, folks!)

Mr. Tripp: I have a cold though, Mrs. Hirz...

Mrs. Hirz: J, do you want Mr. Tripp (!!) to go with you or meee?

J: Hmmm, you!

Mrs. Hirz: Okay, let's go!

We run for a little bit and I wonder why I like these kids enough to do the fun run with them. Are these kids really that great? (Yes, they actually are!)

J is running like a crazy kid and I'm super slow. So he keeps running ahead of me and then runs back to catch up. What a cutie! Then he gets tired and says we should walk. OKAY!

J: Pretty soon, Mrs. Hirz we are going to get to the dinosaur graveyard.

Mrs. H: Oh are we? Wooow.

J: Yep, we are getting to it soon.

Mrs. H: When, J, when??

J: Right now! Look all around! (We are actually in the middle of the baseball field behind the school.)

J: And soon we will be getting to the volcanos where we will have to swim in the lava to get to safety.

Haha, I loved doing the fun run to hear all about the dinosaurs we have out back of the school. I didn't see a single dinosaur but in his imagination, they were everywhere.

I love my job.

YAY!!

I got home from school today at 4:00pm. Yep, you read that right....4 o'clock! AHHH it was marvelous. I got home so early. And I'm glad because tomorrow.....we are going away! To New Mexico! I visit Kevin & Stacie and the rents. And I can.not.wait.

.life. without. pictures.

I know, I know...you are probably DYING to find out what has been happening lately in my life. Has it really been a month since I posted? It almost seems like life is busy. Ha! Why don't I update you all in bullet style! Skip it if you don't want to read all these words.... :]

::Grandma came to my casa on the way through to Arizona and then on the way back to Canada. She broke my stove when she came. It kept turning on for no reason and getting really hot. We ended up unplugging it and waiting a week until we got a new stove. Lame. The new one is lovely though.

::School has been going strong! I had 4 students at the beginning of the year and now I have 5. I have all boys and they are really sweet kids. I have an awesome para and he helps me like crazy. Makes my school day run much smoother. Yeah Ryan!

::We went on a field trip yesterday to the Bean Museum on campus. It was a really good change of pace and the kids had a BLAST. I'm glad they got to experience it. They had the biggest smiles on their faces at the end of the day. I hope I can make a difference in their lives.

::Brent is a HUGE helper when it comes to school. He makes dinner so I don't have to worry about it and he helps me in my classroom when I ask him, too. I married a winner. I sure love him.

::I have a lot of meetings. Seriously, it's a little crazy. And a little overwhelming. But, I'm surviving!

::Brent found out he can graduate in August! He is going to graduate with a business minor. Yeah Brent! I'm so proud of him for sticking with school and working so hard. He is doing really great this year! And I think mostly enjoying his classes.

::Brent went on a hick to Timpanogos cave recently for one of his classes. He took fantastic pictures and I keep telling him he needs to blog them. Maybe if everyone bugs him, he will do it! Everyone....BUG HIM! :)

::We have been talking a lot about what we are going to do next year. I don't think we really know what we will do. Ha.

::Fall break is coming!! We are going to visit Kevin & Stacie!! My parents are coming too! I haven't seen Kevin and Stacie in forever and I am crazy excited!! Yayayayayayay!!

::I'm done. Whew. Noooooowwwww, I will try to post more often. And with pictures! Maybe.
