overindulgence of fun

So this past week has been crazy fun. so much has been going on and it has definitely kept me on my toes. WARNING: this is gonna be a longer post. ye be warned
Thursday night hannah came to visit for the weekend. It is always fun to have her here and to get to hang out with my little seester. But the reason she came down was not really for me. We set her up on a double date. Ryan works with a guy named ryan ( confusing, right?) so Hannah came down for the double date We went to a crepe place for dinner and i will admit, I was dubious. Crepes for dinner? why? I was craving a big juicy hamburger and the guys planned on going to crepes?! masculine. But it turned out to be delicious.. I am converted.. I cant remember what it is called. it might simply be called CREPES, but it is hte place with the huge owl in front of it. anyways.. i digress. After we went miniature golfing. Hannah and Ryan proceeded to cheat and play the games of their lives.. they won. I have never seen two people be so lucky in miniature golf. they deserved to win.

As we were having fun playing miniature golf and eating delicious crepes, Melissa Glodowski was giving birth to a gorgeous baby boy. so on saturday we woke up and headed over to the hospital. And my goodness! that baby is absolutely positively the cutest baby. Ryan was so kind to immediately let my mother know that I was going off my birth control.. not true. was i tempted after seeing that gorgeous little baby? yes. Anyways... Back to baby. We hung out for about an hour and fell in love with Ryker Gary Glodowski. 

                                                        i mean look at the adorableness!
We just couldnt get enough of him and I cannot wait to watch this little cutie grow up. If he is anything like ashton, he will be an awesome kid.

The rest of the weekend was Just in-n-out, church, the office, dropping hannah off in slc and hanging at melissas house with family on sunday night.

Then today came.. and I STARTED MY PRACTICUM! I will admit, I was not worried about being in the classroom. Children dont scare me. But teachers do. I was nervous about who my teacher would be, if she would be helpful to me, if she would trust me, if I would like her teaching methods, if i would learn alot, if i could be organized and not go crazy, if i can do all the workload on top of being in the school.. ect. so i woke up this morning at 530, too nervous to sleep in. I tried on at least 5 different outfits, trying to decide which would make the best "first impression". ridiculous. Then drove to the school, almost dying three times on the way. hello utah drivers. ( BTW i wasnt driving so dont blame me) We got there and were very professional and took pictures in the front

These are the awesome ladies who are in the schools with me. We are in different classrooms but I just love them. they are awesome. And my teacher is great! It was so fun. She is so energetic and loving toward her students. She is also awesome for me. She is so helpful and willing to work with me. I am so relieved. Most of my worries have dissipated and I couldnt be more happy. the children are so funny. I am in a first grade class and they are so eager to learn and get the approval of the teacher. I have already been given a teaching assignment. i will be teaching on sequencing this thursday or friday. eeek. I am so excited to learn and grow. I want to be a good teacher and I know that being in the schools and gaining the experience is the best way to becoming the best i can be. It is exhausting being in the schools though. I wake up at 6 leave the house by 7 and am in the school from 815-245 and then i still have classes at BYU after with hw and lesson plans to create. Needless to say, as much as I love being in the schools, this next month is going to be crazy! I look forward to the adventures and challenges it will bring. But for now this is the end of my blogging. I have hw and tests to study for and lesson plans to make.
Adios blogging world.
