What a GREAT day!

I had a great day today! Good enough to blog about!!haha I had my screening interview with Mesa Public Schools. I felt it went really well and I nailed the questions. Seeing that this wonderful economy has not provided a lot of teaching jobs for the coming year I am doing my best to rise above the rest and get hired! The interview was an hour long...which seems long for an interview...but it actually went really fast. The principal that interviewed me was very nice and seemed to be liking what I was saying... but who knows she could've just been being nice!

After school I rushed home to check my email...can't check hotmail at school which gets annoying at times like this! My AEPA scores were in and I was dying to see if I passed. And I.....did!!! YAY! I know it's not that big of an accomplishment but I am so happy I passed and don't have to spend money to take it again!! Plus I would feel retarded if I didn't pass!

Chad finally called after his class so I could tell him the great news! He said he had a surprise for me! Oh do I love surprises!! He wouldn't tell me of course but when he got home he had the best present ever!! Girl Scout Cookies the best kind in the nation Samoas!! I was in heaven and truly believe these little cookies will be a part of my heaven!! Too bad they are stinkin expensive! Well maybe it's a good thing or I would weigh 300 pounds!!haha

Then to continue the celebration of a good day I used some birthday money (Thanks Jon and Leslie) to go pick up dinner... Panda Express!! To finish off a great day I watched 24 (my new favorite show since The Unit is very unreliable!) Now I am just excited I can go to bed!! What a fun day!

Here's a super cute picture of my adorable first graders! We are doing the month macarena!

Magic Mountain!

So my amazing sister Stacie and her husband Richard took us to Six Flags! Basically they wanted to go but not alone so they asked the coolest couple ever to join them!! After a few babysitting deals were made we were in!!! We had a BLAST! We left Sat. at 3:30am yikes I know! Good thing Richard is awesome and drove the whole way why we slept in the back! We went to the park all day Sat. then stayed the night and came home Sun. It was a quick trip but way worth it. The rides were insane!! The longest we waited was for X for about 30 minutes!!! Lots of wierdos there but luckily it wasn't crowded at all! It was just fun!!Stacie and I getting ready in the car in the Starbucks parking lot! We forgot we gained an hour going to CA so we had extra time before the park opened. We decided to eat at Denny's then head to the park! Riding X first after just eating was not such a good idea!! That ride is insane and it scared us silly!! I wish we would of got the picture from that ride because Chad looked like he was so scared and wanted his mommy!!!


The only characters in the park! I bumped with Tweety and I think he/she liked it!!haha Good thing he/she is so stinking short! We debated if he/she was a midget but the legs were too skinny for that!!
Right at the entrance to the park with the pretty waterfall. The orange rollercoaster is Tatsu another insane ride! You hang face down so you can see the ground the whole time! Scary when you are so high up!!



This is in front of Scream. Richard and I rode this one like 3 times in a row without getting off because there was no line. It was pretty fun. We had to stand in that exact spot to block out some nasty lesbians sitting on the bench. YUCK!
Chad's cat nap after lunch! He wasn't feeling good after not sleeping at all in the car and then riding all those intense rides. This was his first time to 6 Flags and it was intense on the tummy! You know if there's still food on Chad's plate... he's not feeling good!!haha


Me and my pal Batman! I loved this ride and Chad hated it cause it made him sick! This one your feet dangle and it's just fun!!

Waiting in line and realizing we hadn't taken any pictures yet!!
Richard and I riding Viper over and over and over again! This is us getting off the ride and then right back on!! After about 3 in a row you get kinda sick though! The other 2 were too sissy to keep on riding so they waited for us on the bench!!



This is us by the famous roller coaster! Who knows what show it's in?? I told Chad about a million times and he got sick of hearing it so we just had to take a picture! It looked so pretty all lit up although you can't really tell. By this point we were FREEZING and reading to sit down in the warm car!
Good times at Magin Mountain!! If you haven't gone you should definitely go! So much fun and such a great getaway from reality! Thanks Stacie and Richard... you're the best!!

Shout out to being happy!!

I don't know about you but I'm sick of all the depressing talk about the terrible economy and all the stinkin budget cuts! I guess it's the truth this world revolves around MONEY. I was talking to Chad the other night about money and how we have none... I told him you know what we may be poor but we are happy! How grateful I am to be happy!! It's proof that although money rules the world it does not rule me and I can be happy no matter what my financial circumstances are. Yes, it would be really nice to have money to pay the bills and such but I'd much rather be happy than rich! I am grateful I have a wonderful husband who brings so much happiness to me. I'm grateful for an awesome family who does so much for us ALL the time. I'm grateful for my testimony and all the blessings I receive. Well maybe it's just all the endorphins flowing after an hour on the treadmill but I'm just happy and grateful for the wonderful life I have! (I'm gonna be feeling that hour on the treadmill tomorrow seeing that I've been fat and lazy for way too long and this is the first day back!!) Thanks everyone for helping us along this journey and let's all just forget about the terrible economy for one second and be grateful for all that we have! Sorry that was random, but sometimes it feels good to be random!!
