My first day of school!

-
NO pictures for me thank you! My first day back to school. It has been 8 long years since I have graduated college. Going back is quite intimidating especially when 1. I show up late (luckily I wasn't the last) and 2. While everyone is introducing themselves and ALL of the class is in the Master's Special Education program. And me...well I am just there to renew my teaching license and I am not teaching at all. A Stay at Home Wife and Mom! So I felt a little out of place.
Let me just say I was waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay.........overwhelmed! Okay, UNLV is soo much different from SUU. This teacher does everything by what they call Web campus. I was like what is web campus? She assumed we were all current teachers and graduate students who did there undergrad at UNLV and so thought we should have all been in class with a Syllabus and the handouts, course objectives etc...because that is what in on the web campus site. Sigh...so I had NO clue what was going on luckily I was not the only one confused and lost. There were a lot of people who didn't know what was going on either.
The teacher was unorganized and unprepared for the differing backgrounds of the students. Being a special education instructor I would have thought she would have had all her bases covered for all the different backgrounds of the students. Our first assignment is a checklist of what we do at our school to accommodate special education students at our school. HUH? I don't currently teach...I wasn't the only one and so it was brought to the Professors attention and she is going to do a supplemental assignment for those of us who do not actively teach. But the fact that she just assumed we all teach is a little mind boggling to me.
So I came out of there swimming in circles in my head! Came home and figured out how to register on web campus but now having a hard time pulling up a word document. Help Nathan!

So Nathan said I was going to LOVE this class...so I hope he is right and things change because right now. I feel like a guppy in a pool of sharks.

Gods Hands

God's Hand I haven't blogged in a while. I guess it's time to show some gratitude. I have come to realize in the last year or so how often we take for granted how incredibly involved our Heavenly Father and Savior Jesus Christ are in our everyday life. Just because we can't not see them physically, I find that we often forget how much they really do have their hands extended and are continually guiding us.        Of course I do believe that life is all about choices. The good, the bad, the ugly, or rather determining what is good, better and best. What we choose can shape a lot of who we are and who we have the capability of becoming. We have agency. He let's us choose. But as we follow His guidance through the Spirit I definitely think He knows where He needs us better than we do. He also knows how it will benefit us and others around us the most. I believe in being in the right place at the right time.       Most of you are aware tha...

Merry Christmas 2018! I deeply apologize for the 2nd year in a row not sending out Christmas cards/letters. I just haven't had the extra time or patience to do so. I haven't been on my blog in forever and almost forgot how to post anything. I hope you all enjoy. The past couple years have brought some trials as is life. But through it all we have continually be blessed and the outpouring of love and support from those around us have made burdens lighter. We are most grateful for our Savior and His divine hand in our lives and that is really all we can ask for. A short blurb for each of us. Nathan's business is expanding which brings more travel and more stress. But blessings all the same. He hiked the JMT trail this summer/fall for his birthday that was in May. He spent two weeks with bare minimums to survive the Yosemite mountains. It was quite the accomplishment I must say. He also co-runs a flying club that people rent planes and learn ho...

CONTEST!

I sat thinking today (dangerous I know)  and decided to change things up on my blog today...who doesn't like a CONTEST! Yup...now don't get too excited. You won't be winning millions of dollars or anything like that. Now I have friends ALL over the country and out of the country for that matter. SO if someone outside of Vegas or Utah wins this ridiculously silly contest, then I will figure out something I can mail to you. If you are local or in Utah I will make you something amazing. My amazing chocolate cupcakes, or fresh baked bread, or maybe even invite you to our home for dinner (if you are local). But as I was pondering my lack of energy today. It has taken me years...I mean years to find the secret trick to getting my energy back and back quickly. Most people I know rely on I also know several people who rely on Energy drinks/Boosters I even know a few who rely on  to get them through the day do to lack of energy as well as pain. Well for me any ...
