My Rebirth

I can officially say I am alive now, and on record as being alive. I guess have been reborn. After a week of arguing back and forth with the unhelpful state lady about whether or not I should get a new birth certificate for FREE because it was clearly not my fault, I finally got to to talk to her manager who was VERY helpful. After proving to her the error did in fact exist, on the original, from 22 years ago, she sent me a brand new one at no charge. And it is so Pretty! My old one was just green. Ugly green, and it had been copied crooked. My new one is multiple colors on paper you can tell they tried to make hard to forge, with raised edges and shiny parts. Much better!

And today I get to experience something new. I don't have to be with any students during 4th period today. And there are many teachers gone sick or on vacation today. There are not enough ladies to sub for them all. So I will be using my free period to substitute for my FIRST time. And, it's a CHINESE Class....

I know I married a part Chinese man, but I don't think that makes me ready for this. We shall see how it goes.

I feel fantastic, and I'm still alive! :) Love the song. O believe me I'm still alive.

Jordan also told me that he tackled you in volleyball tonight. I'm sorry :( I thought his mom taught him better ;)

Yes, he took us both out for the count. Don't worry, I have sufficiently recovered. Ü

I'm glad your birth certificate is nice and pretty like mine, and not ugly like your old one was.

Also, good thing it doesn't say you are dead anymore.

Curb Appeal Galore

 This post is to document the journey our outside of our house has been on over the last few years. A lot of these projects I took on this summer, and a few I did earlier. I am so happy with where we are currently at, but still have some plans before it's finished. So, here is what it looked like the day we bought the house. Seven years ago. Don't let the "grass" fool you. It's just weeds. And the ugly brown window trims paired with the ridiculously old glass in the windows and the green brick with maroon grout. Not too pretty. We have since painted the door, trim, and replaced the windows. Also replaced the porch light and house numbers.  This spring we also had a new concrete half circle driveway installed. We live on a busy street and our front yard is useless and our driveway is tiny. So now we have much more functionality, less weeds, and overall happiness. After the driveway was installed, I also ripped out the rest of the grass and installed some decorative...

Things I've learned about babies

These are things I never realized or knew about babies that I have learned since having one of my own! -Babies are grimy. I still don't understand how they can get so dirty. How did you get all this dirt under your fingernails!? You can't even DO anything with your fingers! -You know that soft spot on their head? You can totally see their heartbeat in it sometimes. It's kind of disconcerting. -Once you finally figure out some type of routine or normalcy......it changes. -Apparently babies can still "bite" their tongues, even though they don't have teeth. I guess technically they're gumming their tongue? Which doesn't sound too painful, but when a red pinched blood vessel looking thing shows up on the tip of your baby's tongue, you realize that it might be a bit painful. -Babies have to be pretty tough, they experience a lot of pain! From being born (it just can't feel great being squeezed through a birth canal), to teething...for mont...

Good and Bad Discoveries of the Week

This week we have discovered the secret to life in Provo!! I am serious, it's the best thing ever, and everyone who lives in or near Provo, must take advantage of this secret to life. 1. Go to the Winsong movie theater 2. Purchase a ticket for "Take" (preferably Matinee) 3. Preferably, do not watch this movie because it is a waste of time. But if you have nothing better to do with yourself, go ahead and watch it. 4. Take your movie stub to the dollar theater located by Costco in Orem 5. Finally, enjoy UNLIMITED free movies at this theater. That's right, I said UNLIMITED FREE MOVIES at the dollar theater. I know this sounds to good to be true, but it is oh so true. I have done it, and it works. Last night, we watched a free Indiana Jones from this movie ticket. It was amazing. The movie Take is pretty worthless, but the reward is priceless. Ok, so on to the bad discoveries of the week. I have recently become aware of the advantages and disadvantages that tag along with...
