3 Years

Three years ago today, June 24, 2006, I married my best friend! I cannot believe it has already been 3 years. The only way to explain it is that in the 3 years we've been married, we've been through a lot! We have had so much fun in the time we have been married! We've had lots of adventures: almost passing out at the altar, strept throat on the honeymoon, two surgeries, three moves, first year of teaching, 6 months of being thousands of miles apart, and many more. Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't have changed any of those adventures for anything. Most of them have helped us grow and some of them have even been comic relief at times.Okay, pretty much all of them we can laugh about now :)

I knew that as soon as we said, "I Do" I was going to be complete. My husband is wonderful, truly wonderful. I am so blessed to call him "husband". I love being married! I have always been the type of person who loved to be around people, and now that I have my best friend with me all the time (well most of the time), I love it. I love all of our inside jokes and special moments that we have... they mean the world to me :)

I look forward to all the years we have ahead of us! We have always been the fun couple, and we always will be. There's no other way for us to be :)

Tornado Warning :-\

So... there we were... all comfy, cozy on the couch watching a movie when our little guy, Gus, needed to go... outside. So, I took him out, and happened to notice just how dark it was outside, and it was only 1:00pm. We have had lots of storms lately, so we just thought, oh well, another stormy Sunday. Well, it progressively got darker and darker, and started to rain/hail/blow like crazy and then we checked online and sure enough, this storm was actually turning into a tornado, about 5 miles away from our apartment. My first thought was, we need to get into our closet right now (that's the safest place in our 3rd story apartment). Josh's first thought was, we need to go out and get the video camera from our car to catch what was going on. So, can you tell what we ended up doing? HEHE.

It was crazy to see that from our balcony. When I realized at that point that it was moving away from us I thought it was cool :) We stood outside and watched for a little while, and then decided to come back inside. My phone rang, and it was one of my coworkers, who lives about 5 miles from us. She wanted to make sure we were okay because she and her husband were just leaving their apartment, that the tornado was right above. They were fine, and the apartment was fine, but their windows in their car were all smashed, and they were just trying to leave the area. SO crazy. I had no idea there were tornadoes in Colorado, let alone 5 miles away from us!! EEEKKK.
Glad we were all safe :)

WAHOO! Summer's here

Today was the last day of school :) This year was a "different" year because of the move and not actually "teaching", but I definetly still was stoked that it was the last day of school and that summer was here! Having to take down everything in the classroom and move all the furniture brought back lots of memories of last year's big move at school. That was a stressful time for me, and this year was NOT nearly as stressful. Thank goodness. In fact, yesterday was the last day with kids, and it was SO fun. I think my all-time favorite thing was the shaving cream ice skating that we did. Who would have thought that a big blue tarp covered in shaving cream would be so fun? I had so much fun squirting shaving cream on the kids as they were slipping and sliding around in the bathing suits! What a fun memory for them (and me... hehe)!
I am so excited to have a little break from working, but I am still going to be teaching at Sylvan, but it won't be as "intensive" as working with preschoolers! I was a little bummed today to say good-bye to my team that I worked with. One thing that I have been blessed with at the schools I have worked at so far, is that both of the teams have been awesome and so fun to work with! I still miss my old team in Utah, and I will miss these guys here in Colorado!
Happy Summer!
