Let Summer Begin!!! :)

My summer vacation started in early April. I moved home to Utah and started work as a substitute teacher. I taught almost every grade from kindergarten up to 12th grade. I loved working as a sub because I love kids, and the hours and the pay was fantastic. I have spent most of my free time with my family and some old friends from high school. Since moving home, I have had the opportunity to go to the movies. Here is a list of some of the movies I have seen so far: Baby Mamma, What Happens in Vegas, Maid of Honor, 21, and Penelope. I love going to the movies.
A few weeks ago my whole family came into town! I was so excited because my family is so amazing!!! It is really rare for all of us to be together too. My sister Barbara Jo came in from Mexico with her new baby boy Benton, my sister Christine came to town from Vegas with her two little girls, and my brother Rob came from Idaho. It was the first time in 10 months that all six kids had been home. We had loads of fun together! Barbara Jo made a list of what we did on her blog so i think i shall do the same:
-ate at the Grand America, Costa Vida, Olive Garden, Pizza Factory, and Kneaders
-went shopping at Nordstrom, Forever 21, Down East, Limited Too (not for me though), and express
- went to the gym at 6 in the morning (BJ I have still not caught up on my sleep from this week)
-made MANY MANY trips to Wal Mart
-had a little photo shoot
-went to the movies
-played games (a family favorite)
- had a few bbq's
- and enjoyed each others company all week long
I love my family and I wish that we could all live closer together. :(
A week after my family left my roommate Kayli came and visited me for the weekend! I was so excited... I love my Rexburg friends. She arrived on a Thursday night and of course Grey's Anatomy was on, so we watched the season finally. On Friday I had to teach so she came with me--she was such a trooper. Then that night we went to the movies and dinner. On saturday we went shopping, out to eat and to a movie. That night we went to one of my high school friends (Shalice's) birthday party. After her party I had to go to another party for my good friend Jenna who is moving to Vegas with her hubby. It was a great weekend!

This week I have been hanging out with my family alot. I did go out one night with my friend Shannon. We went to dinner and got ice cream. Oh and I did go out another night with my friends Laurie, Shalice, and Jaycie. I love my friends! They are great examples to me. We were all supposed to go to the gym this morning but I felt very ill, so we will have to go some other time.
My summer is off to a great start! Only one more week until I move to Arizona.

Kaylie and I ready for a night out on the town.
