School is almost out!!!! Hurray!!!!!

As of today, there are 26 school days left this year!!! That means a job free summer for me! At first, I thought it would be hard not having my income for those couple months, but I am really looking forward to the break....it will be worth it 'cause I have plenty to do and catch up on. Had a bit of a scare yesterday though...it was secretaries day last week...my counselors and college guy gave us a plant/flowers and a card...so sweet....Brett over CTE gave us a $25 gift card to a Cracker Barrel, then yesterday our administration sent us to lunch at Iggy's and gave us more flowers!! During lunch, our Admin secretary told me in front of all that she heard from our principle that everybody with 30hr/wk were going to be cut down to 19hr/wk's!! Holy Cow! That was random and a punch in the face! I had talked earlier to my boss about this very subject and was assured that because our pay comes from a completely different budget that we would be just fine...hmmmm....somebody got it wrong. I stewed over this all night not knowing the outcome, but I kept reminding myself that my boss would certainly tell me if there were changes...then I got a bit angry...how dare our admin secretary...she didn't have all the facts so why did she decide to spread rummors about something as important and life altering as this! Why do people put their noses in places they don't belong? Anyway, when I got to work today...long story short....I have been once again assured...my job will not be involved in the hour cut...I will be just fine! WHEW! I have a missionary to support, I can't afford to cut my hours right now...and I won't have too...Yeah!!! I guess moral to this story is....don't pass along information without facts, most importantly keep your nose where it belongs! Rumors can be painful and scary especially if you don't have the correct facts......this will save on sleepless nights anyway! Anyway, I really love my job, the people I work with and the hours I have! I'll be good for another year....Hurray for Kearns High Cougars!!!

Yoga, Pilates, Zumba, 5K..............

Soooo....this is Kati's and my Wednesday mornings.....5:30am Zumba....work....5pm Yoga! I really love Wednesdays and wish I could afford this to be an everyday routine! Last week Cher (our instructor for both, and a friend of mine) upped our Yoga to sort of a Power Yoga....and added some Pilates to it! OUCH! My core felt that work out for sure, but I really loved it, as hard as it was.

Now, another fun activity to add to the routine! Kati and Ben are going to run the 5K for Breast Cancer awareness....Kristi, Staci and I are going to walk the 5K......and.....Gary and I just found out Weight Watcher is sponsering a 5K to be held on June 5th...yes, we are going to walk that too! I'm excited. We are going to start walking after work during the week in preparation for this....this should be lots of fun....I will never run a 5K ever....I HATE running! I used to run when I lived in Cali and even ran a 5K on the beach years ago....NEVER again! Walking is good....



I went shopping for a good pair of shoes.....I have REALLY bad feet...I have had surgery on both sides of both my feet in the past and now have neuroma's under my 2nd toes...which can be extremely painful at times....after my surgery my doctor suggested I buy New Balance as the shoe for me to recover in...really good shoe so I decided to try it again.....hopefully it works!
Oh, we are still loosing slowly but surely...another .4lbs for me, but of course, Gary lost 4lbs ... UGH!!! Anyway it's a loss and not a gain....I'll take it!

Ouch! But it's worth it.....

Ok, so yesterday we took advantage of that BEAUTIFUL saturday and worked in the yard pretty much all day...and was it a MESS!!!! With 2 rambunctious dogs, leftover old apples from the apple tree, twigs from the trees and over grown weed infested flower gardens...let's just say we had our jobs cut out for us...........


Back yard, 2 dogs, winter months....."this picture speaks a thousand words"






Maybe a little exaggeration ....well, maybe a lot but it sure felt like this mess!






Three very important tools of the day....









We PAINTED the shed and the front fences......









and now.....OH MY ACHING.......EVERYTHING!!!!

Disappointment.....

Ya know, sometimes the littlest disappointment makes me really sad.....dear friends were coming to visit for the weekend....circumstances they had no control over caused them to change their plans...they can't come now and I am really sad.....boo hoo, I know, least of our worries...it's just sad when you can't see someone you love very often, then you get excited to have them come and 'poof' plans change....oh well....we live with disappointment everyday...I'm just sad.......
