Don't Call It A Comeback.

One time I started a blog. And then I started teaching. And that is when my blog took a back seat. I wish I was better at blogging. BECAUSE I LOVE IT! I would promise to be better, but I can't promise anything that big! I just hope I will be better!  In the mean time here is an update about what has been going on in our lives!!   I GRADUATED!!! Well kind of... I walked! I am officially now done with school and am just waiting for my diploma to make it official. But I walked in April, mostly for a day off, and because I am ALL ABOUT TRADITION and the August graduation didn't seem big enough. 

The best support group. I thank my parents for helping me through these last four years, and I thank BYU for giving me Jordan!! 

I finished teaching at Timpview. It was an equally sad and happy day. I was ready for a break, but so sad to be leaving my alma mater. LUCKILY that didn't last long because I have been offered a full time position to teach there next year!! So to all my students who cried when I told them when I was leaving (there were none, but a girl can dream) I AM COMING BACK! BIRD GANG 4 LYPHE!! But really tho, I am beginning to bleed orange and blue. 

#Throwback. But really tho. I don't have a SINGLE photo from my first year of teaching.  I am the worst. 

We went to DISNEYLAND TWICE!! Seriously, I am so lucky that Jordan can sing, because that means I get to tag along on cool trips to sing cool songs with Vocal Point. Man I freaking LOVE Disneyland and could go on forever, but I won't because I am going to save that FOR ANOTHER POST! (You're welcome Vocal Point Fans and the FPVFF) 

We moved to Denver!! But just for the summer! I was only there for 2 weeks, but we made sure to hit up VooDoo donuts TWICE. Because I love donuts and couldn't pass it up. Jordan was there for an internship with EY, and was lucky enough to receive a full time offer just a couple of days ago! So it looks like we will be going back next year!! 

Also, my ONLY picture from Denver. Again. I am the worst. 

TOBY TURNED 1!! I hate myself. But yes, I did make him a cake. AND HE LOVED IT! Maybe I will share the recipe some day. But who are we kidding. I can't cook and Ava made him that cake. Don't worry all your animal lovers, it was completely dog healthy!!

Gosh he is so stinking cute!!! 

That seems like all of the big stuff. I am sure I am forgetting something.... Oh well. Hopefully a Disney post is coming soon!! Man. It feels good to be back in the blogging saddle. 

Surviving Term 1.

Honestly, this term FLEW by. It was liked we started school and then suddenly it was time to submit grades. But I am proud to say that I have successfully survived TERM 1! Only 3 more to go... I owe my success this term largely to 3 great TA's, 1 amazing husband who was willing to help me stay up to write lessons, all the members of my department, the gallons of Dr. Pepper I drank, and last by not least my Erin Condren Planner.  Orgnization was everything, and often times I was planning lessons the night before. So having a great planner that would help me organize the countless meetings and tasks I had to do each week was essential. The Erin Condren planner was the perfect way to keep my life strait! 

They have so many cute designs, and you can personalize them as well!! Each month has its own page, and then there are weekly pages! 

The planner comes with tons of cute stickers and labels so you can not only organize your schedule, but your whole life! You can get your own Erin Condren planner by clicking HERE!

I am so glad to have that first term under my belt. Now, on to the next one. 

Don't worry! I still love you!

I know what you are thinking.... What happened to our good friend Zoë who was a good blogger??  Well I will tell you what happened, I started teaching!! And it is taking up all of my time! I love it so so much, but after a long day teaching/grading/writing tests/making copies the last thing I want to do is blog.  Don't get me wrong, I LOVE blogging! And I would blog everyday if it didn't annoy everyone I know. But school started, and suddenly I was four weeks in and a month behind on this guy!  I am sorry for the lack of posts! More are coming!! I have several great ones planned, and I got a great camera for my birthday so that will really up the blogging game!! 

Classroom selfie. Don't worry, I am still alive!
