I'm sorry I haven't been posting lately. I have been busier than ever. I finally started my student teaching. I never thought I would actually make it to this point. I have been student teaching at Barratt Elementary in American Fork for the past five weeks. My student teaching lasts for 10 weeks, so I am half way finished. My student teaching experience has been going really well. I have been teaching little first graders. They are really cute, but definitely need full time attention and help. For the first two weeks of my student teaching a taught for only part of the day. Since the beginning of my third week I have been teaching full time, without the teacher in the room. I have learned a lot already about teaching and what it is really like. Everything seems to be going well. I really like the teacher who's class I'm in charge of and she seems to like me a lot too! This past friday we had our Valentine party. One of my students told me that he didn't feel well. I told him to get a drink. He came back up to me and told me he felt like he was going to throw up. I wasn't too worried about him actually throwing up, but I did tell him to stand by the garbage can just in case. Luckily.....it paid off! He started throwing up and it seriously looked like a fountain the way it was arching out of his mouth. I didn't let it get to me one bit, I really had no choice though with all the kids watching. As my little first grader was thowing up, I drug the garbage can into the hall and left him there. It was the last 10 minutes of school and we had to get everything cleaned up from the party. To say the least it was very choatic and the kids were upset about seeing their friend throw up. It was a fun day, but I was happy for it to be over. After Roman threw up a few times he felt much better and was able to leave the school with his other classmates.
Well, I have five more weeks to go, wish me luck.
Along with my student teaching that takes up 40 hours of my week, I still have my uvu classes every Wednesday night for 4 hours. Not to mention teaching gymnastics Tuesday and Thursday until 6:45. And there is my church calling every monday night where I try to teach advanced high school students how to do their math.
So to sum things up, I don't know if I have ever been more busy. It's been a lot of fun and the weeks are flying by. It will be nice when April 8th comes and I have basically nothing to do unitl May first when we move to Philadephia for another summer of Kory selling security systems.

oops!
So my computer went crazy so I had to publish my last post before it was finished. I will have to add more pictures later.
Christmas Break
Kory and I had a wonderful Christmas break!
I love Christmas time because there is so much to do. We went to the festival of trees which I love doing. We also got to go see the lights at temple square with some for Kory's family that were in town from Florida and Logan.
We stayed Christmas Eve night at my parents house and spent Christmas day with my family. It's always so much fun to have my whole family together.
On the 28th we got to go to Hawaii for a week with all the guys in Kory's company who sold over a hundred security systems.
Every Christmas each member of my family makes a gift for another member in the family. It's always so fun to see what each person makes. Making gifts is one of my favorite family traditions. This year I made a picture frame out of old barn wood for my brother Clint. Thanks to my dad for helping me, I was able to make an awesome frame.
Kory got to make for our sister-in-law Tiffany. He decided to sew an apron. Kory did a great job thanks to sports sewing!
Our sister-in-law Jackie made Kory a batman wallet. She made it out of batman underware. If you are ever at our house you'll have to see it. It's so cool, it has compartments and everything.
My brother Tim made me an awesome copper frame with a mirror in the middle. It's a really pretty house decoration that I will have forever. I can't find a picture of it, I will have to take a picture and post it next time.
We went to the island of oahu and stayed on Waikiki. There were 24 of us there.
We snorkeled at Hunama Bay

Happy Thanksgiving
This year Kory and I celebrated Thanksgiving and my grandpa's 86th birthday at one big party in Herriman. There were 70 of us there. Wow! My mom did an awesome job planning and hosting this big celebration. Thanks mom for all your hard work.
Grandma and Grandpa Dansie- My mom's Dad and Mom
That's me with Kory on Thanksgiving! (I'm a dork!)
This is my cute Grandpa Dansie
There's my mom working away like usual, making everything look and taste perfect.
My dad and brother Steve make a great turkey cooking team!
Bye Jill and good luck on you mission! My best friend Jill just left for her mission. I'm so excited for her, it's something she has wanted to do for as long as I've known her. She will be serving in the Knoxville Tennessee Mission. I'm proud of her and know she will make a great missionary.
