So it's been almost a month since I have last posted something on this blog. I was really on a roll there for a little bit. But then....we had to pack, clean our apartment to spotless perfection, drive 13 hours back to Utah, play with my family and get ready for school!! Actually, I have already completed (hopefully somewhat successfully) my first 3 days of being a junior high teach. woohoo!! I'm definitely not on top of my game and I am flying by the seat of my pants, but it has been a good experience so far. My family also hung out with us for a week
