Grad School

So I just finished up my 1st 2 classes of grad school!!! I got an A and B!!! I was not sure that I could do it, but I did.... My professors both asked if they could use my papers for next semester!!! Things are looking up!!!

No J-O-B!

So I lost my job last week, a week ago today. Its been hard to just not have to get up and go to work everyday. Its weird to just stay home everyday.... Well at least for now I don't like it. But I think there are reasons for me not having that job anymore. The school was ran by the teachings of L. Ron Hubbard, founder of the Church of Scientology. Anyways things were a little kooky and I had a headache everyday. So maybe there is a reason. Anyways... I guess something new will come up, at least I hope so!!!

The weekend

This weekend was great!!! Preethi and Nelson got married!!! Shanthi, Tasha and I drove up in one car. Roberson's in one car and Rohini, Rukshan and A. Aruni in another. We left California Wednesday night and drove up to Mesquite, NV, where we stayed at a decent hotel. We left in the morning and drove all the way through. We made a small detour to see Heidi Shay in Salt Lake. We got to Boise around 9pm and the sun was still shinning!!! Shanthi barely stopped the car before jumoing out to see Preethi. Us girls, Teresa came in late Thursday, stayed at Nelson's house and were up til 4am!!! We laughed and giggled like the good ol' days. Friday morning Preethi and Nelson got married at the court house, I guess that you have to do that in Idaho. After the ceremony we went to IHop for breakfast. Then us girls took off to get our nails done and just get Preethi out for a little while. After that was rehearsal out at the Parma convention grounds. It was really pretty. The rehearsal was fun, I think Shanthi and I got Nelson upset because we were goofing off so much. Welcome to the family!!! :) The next morning we got up early to finish off some last minute details. Hair took a while and make up did too, but let me tell you it was worth it all when you saw Preethi with her sari on. She looked AMAZING!!!! Before she walked down the isle Dad said a quick prayer, which was VERY VERY touching. Our dad has a way with words I tell ya!! Well we sang a hymn, "Homes of Zion", with Nelson's family. It was really pretty. As they walked back down the isle as husband and wife, Teresa and Justin, Shanthi and Sean, Cody and I followed them out. Man my cooked up a STORM. With the help of some friends, Carl and Sonia. It was GREAT. Rosy made some AMAZING chocolate cupcakes from scratch and some fun-fetti ones for Nelson. It was a great time. Sunday morning Shanthi, Tasha and I drove home, all 14 hours!!! It was great getting home in one day. Maybe next time we will do that!! :) Hope you enjoy the pictures!!!

Summer so far

So things have gone by so fast this summer. Next week my little sister will be getting hitched!! Its so exciting.... Anyways.... I thought I'd put up some pictures of this summer so far.

Gregor Wedding

So we went to Ian and Tara's wedding back in the middle of June.... Danny was a VERY handsome groomsman.... Not biased at all!!! I got to meet a lot of people that I have heard so many stories about....

Survived

So I survivied my first week of teaching 2nd grade. The kids were a handful to start with but we really got along at the end. I have some kids who cry because they don't get their way and others who are so hard headed its like dealing with stubborn customers at Bux.... but its a great learning experiance.... good news came in this week.... I GOT INTO GRAD SCHOOL!!! So not only will I be teaching, and hopefully working at Starbucks, but I will also be trying VERY hard to maintain a 3.0 GPA for grad school.... I can't wait.... Well all for now.....

1st day of being a REAL teacher

Today was the 1st day of summer camp.... We had a rough start.... but we had a great day.... I have 8 boys and 5 girls in my second grade class.... Some are a hand full and a half, but we will make it through.... I got told I was beautiful and that MADE my day.... Anyways.... I have made it to the Tomlins, no flat tire was going to hold me back!!! (thanks Dave for fixing that and Daddy for paying for new tires!!!)
