Well my van wasen't done today so I called Enterprise and got a rental car again--I should have kept one this whole time but I thought my honda would be fixed but it isn't yet. The rental car is a chevy silverado a big truck with four doors and fun to drive. Hopefully the car will be done tomorrow but I'm enjoying driving the rental car around too. My interview went well this morning. I was nervous but I'm glad I did it. I really love this area and 3rd grade would be a fun class to teach.










It's snowing here in Saratoga Springs, Utah and it's May 24th this morning. We had a family get to together last night that was really fun. I have a job interview this morning and my kids will have to take the school bus this morning because we still have car issues, but I will hopefully get my van this evening.

It has been interesting not having an automobile for almost a week. Both cars are in the shop and hopefully I will have one by tomorrow. My neighbor let me use her car if I need to. My husband is far away and I talk to him on the phone a lot. Our rent contract ends the end of May so we may be moving back to Alabama. Jeff has a interview tomorrow in Georgia and hopefully all will go well. I have an interview on Monday but since we might not be staying I'm not really sure why I'm going but I could use the experience. I will miss my family a lot if we move back to Alabama and the views here in Saratoga Springs are awesome! I took some pictures this evening of some Mountain views. The weather has also been very nice and I took a walk today. I am getting a little anxious about everything but hopefully all will work out smoothly for us... I get panic attacks sometimes still and I had a slight one today.

Sorry if you looked at my blog and you saw some bad advertisement. I am not going to allow advertisement any more on my blog! I thought I would give it a try to earn some money but it's just not worth it.

Today is my birthday and it has been raining all day here in Utah. We had some unexpected things happen today. My automobile that I just got out of the shop didn't start this morning in my garage and I took back our rental car because our other car is in the body shop and I thought our honda would get us around. I tried starting it all day but doesn't want to start so I called Jeff and the garage where it was suppose to be fixed and I will probably have to tow it back over there again... I hate car problems it's not very fun. I had a good day with my kids and Lauren made me dinner and Heather made my cake (carrot cake with ice cream) My mom called me and sent me a $50.00 Walmart gift card that was very nice of her. My sister Diane took me to lunch at Olive Garden and that was a blast. I'm thankful for my brothers and sisters, parents and husband/kids for a great day.

Today is Sunday and I'm feeling kind of down today for some reason. I really liked my primary class and taught the lesson on prayer and how heavenly father hears and answers our prayers sometimes the answer is yes, no, or not right now... I know he answers prayers because I have felt it and found things when I pray for his help. It was also the last day to teach the class so I will miss the kids. After church we came home to find sheep in our backyard just roamming around the mountains.

I went to a Middle School today in Provo, Utah and I got to listen to Jill and her experiences in Afghanistan and winning the pageant. She is an amazing person that had some fun and tough experiences and now talks to students in the schools about them. She had some great pictures to share with the group. I took tonight off and went to Cracker Barrel to eat dinner with my son Trey. My daughter Heather is spending the night and Lauren didn't want to come so it was just me and him. I had some catfish and some blackberry cobbler for dessert. They had the fireplace going again-it's spring here in Utah but the weather is still cool outside. We stopped by the mall on the way home to look around for a while before it closed for the evening. I have a job interview comming up so that should be interesting. Jeff is in Alabama for a while and will have an interview in Georgia. My house needs some serious house cleaning and my lawn needs mowing pretty bad so tomorrow will be a busy day as well. I also went to my sister Doneen's house to grind some wheat so I can make some homemade wheat bread tomorrow.

I hate that Sage Elementary is hiring for a third grade teacher and we might be moving. That would be a cool job but their are so many applying for the job and I don't know if we can stay here but I might just interview for it anyway...I substitute at that school so much I feel like I already teach there. Jeff is in Alabama now and will go to Georgia soon to interview for a job there. I had my honda towed out of my garage today because it doesn't want to start and our other vehicle is in the body shop so I am driving a rental car right now. Hopefully the garage will find out what the problem is and get it fixed so it will run well. It's still a very nice automobile and I enjoy the sunroof and leather seats. The weather here in Utah has been cool and sometimes rainy. My grass needs mowing pretty bad--I'll probably do that on Saturday. I have a new job as a scout leader for the wolves on Thursdays.

Today is a pretty good day today. I had a kindergarten class today. The morning class was awful and my afternoon class was awesome. I have kindergarten tomorrow also. Jeff flew to Alabama this afternoon and will get some things done while he is there. He also will talk to someone about a job opportunity in Georgia. A couple more weeks of school left--our van is in the body shop and hopefully the insurance from the other guy will pay for the rental car and body work. I'm thankful to have work close by in my kids school it makes it nice.

Happy Mother's Day!! Today I took my three children to church while Jeff had Reserve Duty. I really enjoyed my meetings and they handed out frosted sugar cookies to all the moms. When I came home I picked Jeff up and he had a basket of goodies for me. I came home and we had dinner and the kids game me some gifts as well. I'm thankful for my mom and the great example she is to me. She is a great person and I'm glad she is just a phone-call/e-mail away.. Happy Mother's Day again....

This morning I had a kindergarten class. Kindergarten can be a tough class, especially when your a substitute. The routine and the songs they know and keeping their attention can be pretty tough at times. They are very cute kids though. Today they dressed up like butterflies with wings, a head band and they had a party blower used for the tongue--it was really cute. We have a rental car while our van is being looked at. My daughter Heather is having a good time with several friends from school, they are having a birthday party/sleep over tonight. I had lots of housework to catch up on and I took Teddy for a short walk.

Hello Today is a beautiful sunny day outside but the air is still cool. We have a guy looking at the damage of our van right now. Hopefully we will be able to get it fixed quickly because the honda doesn't want to start as well so not having a car to work is not a good thing. We will have to get a rental car for a while. Well Jeff said we can go get the rental car so I'm happy about that see you later....

Well I have had a stomach sickness for a couple days now and hoping by tomorrow that everything will be o.k. I sub for a kindergarten class- half day- for the next three days. Next week I also have another kindergarten class for another three days. I finally finished the autobiography about Charles Shultz. I liked the book and I really like his artwork and comic strips. I thought I would try drawing some of his comic strips for fun. My daughter Lauren has been drawing pictures on paint recently on the computer and she enjoys art as well. The past couple days I haven't been doing much just cleaning around my house and resting. I haven't been feeling my best and hopefully the weather will get warmer so I can walk outside and get some exercise in the fresh air. It has been cool lately here in Utah with some rain and snow. I'm ready for some warm weather. I was going to take some pictures of the car but can't seem to find my camera, so I will keep searching so I can put more pictures on my blog.
