Jamee is bossy! ;)

Jamee Edwards told me I needed to update my blog. This may be the only way she finds out what is going on in my life. This is for you Jamerz.

Last time I wrote on here I had just graduated from ASU. Now I have a job!!! I teach 4th grade at Longfellow Elementary and let me tell you it is a Love Hate relationship. Teaching is definitely my calling in life, but it is so challenging. I love my little kiddos. They say the funniest things. Here is a few of the things I have heard.

"Mrs. Day is suspicious because she always picks us up late."
"Mrs. Day are you a virgin?" I quickly told him that what he meant was "are you a vegetarian?"  Then I told him I was not a VEGETARIAN.
"Mrs. Day how do girls pee?"
"What is a type writer?"

Those are a few of my favorites so far. Its definitely hard to be in charge of so many bright little minds, but I think that my first year of teaching has been pretty easy. I haven't cried because of school since October. (I heard that you are suppose to cry all the time your first year.) The best part of being a teacher is playing games and having parties. I can not wait for field trips to start.

I have been doing a lot of extra trainings, after school, over the last couple months and I am expecting a pretty fat check soon. I plan on spending the money on redoing my wardrobe and buying cutesy things for my apartment.

Josh and I are doing well. Most of the time we are bored. We spend way to much money eating out. We watch a lot of TV these days. Our favorite shows include The Big Bang Theory, Wipeout, the Bachelor and Revenge. (Ok Josh doesn't love the last two, but I make him watch it anyway.) I finally broke down and let Josh get an XBox, mostly I got sick of him asking so I finally said Yes! Since getting the Xbox I fall asleep on the couch (almost every night) while he plays it late into the night.

Life in the Day home is pretty good. I can't really complain. Well I will update in about a year, so until then a few tips...
Don't drink and drive
Always tip your waitress/carhop
Speak slowly
Love everyone

Been a while!

Jamee has inspired me, although I am sure I will suck just as bad at blogging this time. 

Last time I blogged I was in Thatcher, dating and staying up all night. Well my friends, a lot has changed in the last THREE years! I lost 20 pounds and got a hair cut. Instead of sleeping next to Kelci on the love sac, I now sleep next to Josh. I am married and I would like to go to bed around 8:30, but Josh won't let me. 

Let me just say that being married is the exact opposite of being single. You knew that right? Well I didn't. I always thought that it was going to be pretty similar, except you got to sleep next to someone at night. I hope I don't sound like I hate being married, quite the opposite...  I LOVE IT! Cooking for two is much easier than cooking for one... or so they say. I don't really know because before I got married I just ate out for every meal. I have got to experiment in the kitchen a bit, oh and I have learned to cook too ;) 

 

Ok on the more serious side... I am finally going to graduate. It only took me 7 years to get a 4 year degree. I have my cap n gown, my tassel, and my cords. (In case you didn't know you get cords if your really smart and get good grades). My cords are gold and I am graduating at Magna Cum Laude. I almost got maroon cords but my GPA was .03 points off. LAMEO! I blame Josh, the only semester I didn't get straight A's was the first semester we started dating. Oh well though, no one really cares in the real world. Well thats all for now folks. Stay tuned.

A date to remember

My roommate Kelci and I were asked on a double date. I went with a guy named Jaylen and she went with a guy named Marc. The plans were to go bowling at 4:30 and then out to eat at the famous China Taste (ok so its not famous... but for Thatcher it is). Well turns out Wednesday night is league night, so no bowling. We spent the next hour sitting in the car trying to figure out what to do. We finally decided on a bon fire and watching a scary movie in an old abandoned house. I think Kelci and I were trying to prove to each other how brave we both were ( we both hate scary movies). It only took two hours to get ready for it. So we are driving out to this date ok. So we got out there and started our fire and started to make smores. W abandoned house and we get lost. So by the time we found it, it was 8:30... so far it has been a four hourell after sticking our smores in the fire it got super hot and we had a hard time getting them out. We finally got them out. Kelci and Marc's weren't even melted and Jaylen and mine were burnt!!!!! Jalyen then lit off a couple of Sobe bombs and was pretty close to the fire... for a moment we thought that he might have lost his eyebrows or goatee, but thankfully he didn't. It was after midnight when we finally got home... Which is a record for my longest date ever... it lasted over 8 hours.

EAC

Well everyone else is doing this, so I guess I will too. I have spent the last three months living in Thatcher Arizona attending Eastern Arizona College... and can I just tell you that it has been the most uncomfortable three months of my life. I have had to step out of my comfort zone pretty much everyday since I moved here. Everyone knows that I like what is comfortable and normal and there has been nothing comfortable or normal about college life.
I have been dating a lot. I have been on some interesting dates with some interesting people. For example... I went on a date where we played cards and dice games in a post office. Another one where we played paper rock scissors for two hours at a park, while eating pizza. In an abandoned house I made my date a hemp bracelet and beat him in a five decker peanut butter and jelly sandwich eating contest. I have gone on scavenger hunts, star gazing, and t-shirt decorating dates.
College life has sure messed with my sleeping habits. I went from getting about 8 or 9 hours of sleep to getting 4 if I am lucky... There has even been days where I went to work without sleeping at all the night before (made for some pretty miserable days). I usually go to bed around 2 or 3... which wouldn't be so bad except that I usually work at 5:30 in the morning. Oh by the way I work at Sonic and yeah we have great drinks. Go happy hour!!!!
So funny story. I went to this bonfire and it was huge. There was tons of people there and I knew about 4 of them and none of them very well. So I am standing on one side of the fire talking to this person that I barely know... when I spot someone I really know on the other side of the fire. Well I got pretty excited and sorta started to skip around the fire to him... Well what kind of a party would it be if I didn't do something to embarrass myself. So yeah I tripped over part of the fire and almost fell in. Thankfully I didn't but I fell flat on my back in front of like 60 people that I didn't know. I just laid there for a minute trying to think of something to do... I hopped up before anyone could help me and took a bow... Everyone was laughing at me and for the rest of the night whenever I met someone new they would ask "aren't you the girl that fell?" Then they would laugh.
