A trip to rexburg and Butter Braids

Our school did a fundraiser to raise money for our dance department. Particularly in need of a new dance floor since we've moved to a new school that doesn't have one. Any-hoo the students raise $11,500.50! Amazing! The top seller sold 51 butter braids and a student in my class sold 50, needless to say she was bummed. BUT! My class took 1st place in total sales! (Woo hoo my class!) I would love to say I encouraged but I didn't; I did by 2 from a student in my class though. So we won an ice cream social at some point!

This past weekend I went to Rexburg for a bridal shower. It was also an excellent excuse for us old roommates to reunite. Catherine sent her love from VA but the rest of us were able to get together!
First we got our nails done. I had a little girl take our picture while her mom was getting her nails done. Her mom kinda ripped on her afterwords for talking to strangers (she lacked class as she got after her 7 year old). Haha I wanted to say something but I couldn't think of anything snarky enough to say. But that's why Kami's head is cut off.

Again, this was taken by a little girl. I got tired of waiting and just closed my eyes.

The shower was at Lindsey's house. The crown on her head says "Girls Night Out." She loved it.

Student funny of the Day

A kid was doing a presentation on the lake he chose to do a poster on. In doing this research he learned about a group of people called Uros. He said they built small islands out of a reed native to that lake. He said, "Any time someone new came they had to add on to their little island. They didn't have many visitors." : ) It was just kinda cute.

School is in

I can't believe we're done with our 5th week of school! This week was a 3 day school week because Thursday and Friday are teacher inservice days. I'll get caught up on future lesson plans and grading of some projects.
Paul officially started his "new" job with Landview Fertilizer on the 1st. He's doing the same thing, ProGreen and Festive Glow, but his office moved and the owner's changed. I think it will be a good change for Paul, a good chance for his to make the business BOOM! (or at least grow a little).
Not a whole lot of news other than that. We got a new car on the 25th of September. We got a Subaru Outback because it has all wheel drive and still gets good gas mileage. So far I love it!
