Fall Update.

It was so great to come back to Provo from Houston in August. As soon as we got home I got hair extensions. Here is a before and after shot
I absolutely love them. I feel like a totally different person in a good way. We'd been home all of a week and we were able to go with some people from our office/region to Cancun over Labor Day weekend. We had a ball!Here we are on the Catamaran to Isla de Mujera. Got stung by a sea creature later this day while snorkeling. Still have a scar!Here is Bridger and Beamer as they are coming back onto the catamaran.
Here is the view from our room. The pool was awesome. We had all the strawberry dacre's we could ask for. Here is a group of us at Outback the night before we left.
Here is the picture some of you have been dying to see. Me in the wheelchair at the airport. We were at the ticket counter checking in and suddenly I got light headed out of nowhere. I told Bridge I was going to pass out and he told me to sit down but I couldn't see anywhere to sit down and I didn't want to just sit down at the counter ha ha so he handed me our passports to hold and I just dropped them and stared blankly at him. He picked them up and handed them to me again and I just dropped them again. I was so out of it. At this point he knew I was really going and then I just wilted down. Sooo Embarrassing! Our whole office was in line behind us because we were one of the first ones in line. So the medical team gets me a wheelchair takes me to medical and checks me out. I was fine just got lightheaded. They had me stay in the wheelchair until we got on the plane which was good because I felt like I was going to pass out again when Bridger was getting some treats in the store for me for the flight. Weird day!!
We took our annual St. George trip with the Harrison's this year and it was awesome. We saw the amazing Tuachan show Tarzan. It was the best one I've seen so far!
We took our semi annual trip with my parents to Fish Lake for a weekend. I caught lots of fish. Bridge caught a few too. It was a blast to get out in the mountains for a few days. Tammy and Gary came up for dinner one night and brought Taz because they watched him for us since dogs weren't allowed in the cabin.We celebrated our 2 year anniversary at Chefs Table it was a nice gift from my parents.
I got Bridger a watch box so he could keep his watches organized and nicely displayed. He was excited.In October my friends and I threw my best friend Stacie a fundraiser garage sale to raise money for her and her kids because of her recent loss.I've been able to spend more time with Stace these past two months than we have been able to spend in the last few years. She is an amazingly strong woman and I love her so much!

TEACHING
I've recently been doing my practicum for this semester. This is where I've been in an elementary school for 4 weeks working with a teacher and teaching a few lessons throughout the week. I was there for Halloween and that was so much fun! I was an Egyptian and the kids loved that I dressed up. I was in a 3rd grade class and absolutely loved it. Next semester I will be doing my practicum with an upper grade class either 4-6th. It was such a good experience, a lot of work but I loved it.

We'll be spending Thanksgiving with the Harrison's this year in Aurora.
