Mrs. Joy...or Doy as they say it....

So, I have found a job doing what I do best...which is apparently wiping runny noses and tying shoes. Yes, I am a preschool teacher. And I LOVE it! I have about eight kids in my class and they are all so adorable. There is a little girl named Taylor who is so funny. I want to adopt her. The other day I caught her in the bathroom stuffing toilet paper in her shirt to make it look like she had boobs. I know what you're thinking... "But you don't have a teaching degree yet" and to this I say "Yeah, I'm just that good." Time just flies by when I'm there. I had some pictures of them on here, but I don't want creeps looking at them. They are adorable...but still no comparison to my nieces!

Disclaimer

After reading the last post, I realize it might be just a little dramatic. So here I go to set some things straight: Rexburg is really not that bad. Utah is great, but everyone must understand that Oklahoma is still, and always will be, my number one. (While my family lives there, anyway) Utah is right by Oklahoma...but it also ties with Texas for where I want to live in the future. So Mike, maybe now you won't want to wash my mouth out with soap. :)

A Tribute to Utah

So, it has happened. I officially miss Utah. And if you ever ask me about this again, I won't admit it. I miss living two minutes from a Mall (notice it is capitalized because I now show this word its proper respect), I miss BYU in Provo, I miss Matt and Cate, and I miss the Jackson family. I also miss Tori (the little girl I babysat), and I miss having all the options of places to eat. To say it gently, I hate Idaho and I love Utah! I know this is just for a couple of years, but I think I might just not make it. So, if you find out that I have driven off some cliff or went swimming with a toaster, just know that I'm in a much better place. Probably Mall heaven. Here are some pictures of the Jackson family. We miss you! And lastly to our temple. True, I didn't get to see it all the often, but knowing I'm four hours away makes it worse.

I'm addicted to blogging!

This is where we got my wedding ring. Matt and Cate had this idea and we stole it. (I'm good at stealing ideas like that) Anyway, is this store the cutest or what? Not as cute as me and Todd, but close. Oh, and we moved up to Idaho! Yes, we are living in the soon to be frozen tundra of BYU-Idaho. We just got up here Saturday so I will tell everyone more about it later.

Long time, no blog...

This past month has been exciting to say the least. First of all, we went to Oklahoma to visit my parents. There, Todd and I had our year anniversary, my dad had his birthday, saw the OKC bombing sight (first time for me), and went fishing. Oh, and we ate tons and tons of food. That's like the main thing my family likes to do. That, and eat icecream out of cups...which I still think is normal. :) Here are some pics of our Oklahoma trip. Enjoy...but not to much.

For our anniversary, Todd took me to an italian restaurant called Papa Gorgio's (I have NO idea how to spell it). While we were eating he pulled out pearl earings! They are just so beautiful...you can see them in the picture if you look close enough.

All the employees came out to sing my dad happy birthday. He turned thirty nine! No, he's older but I'm not allowed to say. (It was a mexican resturant which explains the hat)

Fishing! There is no greater thing to do in the world. Don't you LOVE the hats? My g-pa gave them to us. We all caught a fish. Matt and I caught the biggest...not to brag or anything. I'm just SUCH an outdoorsy type of person- as long as I can still wear my pearls.
