Tickets to Sundance.

A whole bunch of my friends including my boyfriend(gag....just kidding) are going to a Sundance Film Festival movie at the Sundance resort tomorrow night. It is going to be awesome. I loved being a part of the fest last year. What a way cool thing.

Here are some icicles that were hanging from the roof at the resort tonight. Jane and I picked up our tickets before going to our weight watchers meeting. Good times!

Should be a fun Friday! Yipee. It seemed to take an eternity to get to the end of the week. I am afraid we have reached the hard part of the year.

Nope Not a Funeral.

Hi. It's midnight. I don't get to bed much before now most days. I am not complaining because my life is very good now. And seriously, dating doesn't really measure how good life is, but when you are dating the right person it does make a huge difference. I am often finding myself wanting to gag after I say something cheesy about Rueben. Now, don't get me wrong, nothing about Rueben makes me want to gag. I just never thought I would be this cheeseball of a girl who gets all excited and mushy about what a man says or does. He is so good to me. I am finding it hard to believe that I have found such a great guy after all the years I have been looking. I keep asking myself where he has been the past ten years but always come to the conclusion that he was where he was supposed to be, learning the things he was supposed to be learning and becoming the person he was supposed to become. I too was doing that same thing the past ten years. And that, my friends is why I am often gagging these days. Cheeseball city!!!

In other news, it has been wear a certain color at school week amongst the teachers. It is a fun trick we play on the students every year. Usually by Wednesday the kiddos say something or another. Not too many have approached me about it. Yesterday was black day. It seemed very somber at lunch!

These flowers are not somber. I am a lucky girl and gag me with a spoon. But not really. Cheers!

Time is Flying!

So it's almost the end of January. Time flies. I think dating makes for time to accelerate. It also makes for me being behind on grading sometimes. There was also a huge computer fiasco in my district which has caused even more grading woes! Sigh. I guess I'll just lock myself in my office for a while after classes tomorrow.

Not a whole lot happening lately. Friday we met the family in sandy for some burgers. We being Rueben and I. I guess there is a we these days! We then attended Stake Conference both Saturday and Sunday. There were some amazing talks! Sunday night we headed up to sandy again to celebrate Grandma Bills' birthday. It was a yummy meal with great company.

Tonight, I had dinner with Ruben and his parents. His mother is an amazing cook. We had a bean soup with her homemade bread. The apple crisp for desert was divine. Yum! It is fun to just hang at Rueben's. It seems very calming and natural.

Alright. Here are some pics: Kent and his matching ensemble, Rueben in Elvis glasses, the littlest Hagey's lovin' each other, Rueben putting my fixed cupboard door up, Rueben's studly baseball pic(he's always been handsome!), Oliver and his new cute haircut.

Guys are handy!

It's almost Thursday. That is nice. I am looking forward to the weekend. (ok-I am always looking forward to the weekend.)

Today school flew. I worry my PE classes are pansies and I will be doing a lot of coaxing to get them motivated. Ugh.

Rueben came to fix a broken window in one of my kitchen cabinets. I hit my head on it a few months ago and slammed it in anger. Rueben saw it was broken and because he knows how to fix it and works with windows and glass, offered to fix it. Who would say no? Not this kid. It's fun to have a handy guy around. It may help that he is way good-looking too! And he also brought some tasty Chinese. I think I might keep him around for a while!

In my new health classroom, one of the kids pointed our an epic fail with the door. Can you catch it? I also think this student artwork is a fail too! Glad they labeled it because I was way confused!

Off to dream land! Cheers.

The weekend flew.

Good times but it all went way fast.

Friday: Burger Friday and a movie with Rueben.

Saturday: Grading, running, and rockband.

Sunday: Farkle with Aiden and Christine, church, dinner with the Bills at the Hagey's. Erin and Isaac are in town. It's nice to see them!

Monday: Slept in, grocery shopping, cleaning office, making dinner, movie with Rueben.

Here are a few pics:
