Life Changes

So it seems like life has been full of changes lately. To others they may not seem like big changes, but to me they are big changes. On May 7, 2010 I graduated with my Bachelor's Degree in Elementary Education. I consider this to be a big change because I have been going to school since I was 3 and going to preschool. So that is 19 years of my 22 years of life I have gone to school. But I'm excited to be done...I think it will be more weird when school starts up again in the fall and I don't have to go to school anymore (Just teach it...hopefully). P.S. My last semester I got a 4.0!!! I was very excited!!!
Left to Right: Emily, Mom, Me, Andy, Dad. My Aunt Roberta and her hubby, Courtney came too. Also my in-laws Jay, Julie, Tony, and Nick came too, but nobody will email me their pictures (I didn't have my camera for lots of the time).


Ambree and me before graduation....now she's moved to SLC...I've only cried....well we won't go into that. I'm excited for her and her new awesome job up there...good thing I have some of her stuff so she'll have to come visit me. Ü
My first graders gave me this teddy bear to take to graduation with me. Because I was an excellent first grade teacher I took some pictures with him (no worries I didn't take him on stage with me). P.S. I'm probably not that great of a teacher, I just really loved those first graders!
Andy and I at my Elementary Ed. graduation dinner....

I have a lot more pictures, but I wouldn't want to bore all of you. The last day of school was last Thursday so I no longer have cute little first graders to spend my days with. Again I bawled when I said goodbye to them....lets just say I let myself get very attached...which I think is a good thing.....that would be another change.

Andy just got a new job as a paramedic. His last day at Dispatch is on Wednesday....it's been a good job for him for the past year and a half. He's way excited about his new job and will be doing what he really loves....yet another change.

I haven't found a job for next school year yet. I have interviewed everywhere possible here so I'm just waiting now for something to come. I know that Heavenly Father will take care of me because He always does....so I'm attempting to be patient. I have been working on getting a job since February...so patience is hard, but it will all work out. Feel free to send prayers my way though. Ü

I thought I would be able to go back to my old job for the summer, but that didn't work out like I thought it would. Oh well, I will be teaching some summer camps for children. I also am teaching 2 weeks of summer school for an Elementary school down here. I'm excited to have such great opportunities, but it's like the rest of life right now...another change.

Andy and I are doing really good. We are amazed at how much we continue to be blessed. Life is full of changes, but changes usually make us better...right?
