I had to work the week of the 4th of July so we stayed in Cedar. On Thursday the 4th we went over to the Swanson's and had a BBQ. Then on Friday we headed up to Panguitch Mountain...Or up just by the lake. Kyle's extended family has a cabin up there. We had dutch oven Friday night and I kinda got sick. The power went out, and we roasted smores. Then Saturday we got up had breakfast and then went fishing. Everyone caught a fish but Gage caught the biggest.


The weekend after the 4th Kyle went down to Overton to go golfing and to spend some time with family for his dad's birthday. I had to work, like usual and Friday night I made these snickers cupcakes. They weren't the best but one day I'll be better. 

An update on my classroom. My mom, Abigail and the girls came and helped me organize my classroom. They had shampooed the carpet and everything was in a corner. We moved everything around to actually look like a classroom. I have been working on it a little at a time. I had no idea it was so time consuming to get everything done. Abigail has helped a lot these past couple of weeks. Lori also came in one day to help me out too. 








Aug. 3 I had to go into Vegas to take a test and I also finished up all of my paper work at the school district. Then the 10th I had another test here in Cedar, and Wednesday August 14th was my first official day of work. We had an on boarding conference for all of the new hires in CCSD (1,800 of us) at the Venetian in Vegas for two days and then I had a zone meeting in Vegas on Friday. I was in Vegas for 3 days and am so glad I got a job in Mesquite and that I don't have to drive into Vegas everyday. It was HORRIBLE having to drive there. Thursday I was smart enough to stay at Shad and Amanda's. When I got home to Cedar...it was so relieving and I was so glad to see Kyle again.
