Did ya miss me??

Alas, I have taken a break from blogging for a while (on accident). I mean I always meant to blog but I'd get on and have nothing to say or important/cool/scary things would happen in my life, (e.g. getting in a motorcycle accident, getting MARRIED, my little brother leaving on a mission, getting wisdom teeth out etc...) [Side note: Who knows the difference between e.g. and i.e. anyone.... anyone... Ok I will just tell you! You use "e.g." when there are many examples and you are not going to list them all and you use "i.e." when you are listing ALL of the possible examples! ha I bet you didn't know you were going to learn that random fact from reading this post! and now back to my drawn out sentence so get ready to go back and find out what I was talking about... sorry]  and for some reason I was really busy all of a sudden. Crazy right??? Well let's just say life is great.

September 14, 2012 was the best day of my life. I got to marry my sweetie for time and all eternity. It was the perfect day. My hair worked perfect, the weather was perfect, the ceremony was perfect, our friends and families looked perfect, Sam look perfect, the food was perfect, the wedding video was perfect, etc. (you get the idea). I still look at pictures from that day and just smile. I loved it! I mean doesn't that make you smile?? ;) ----------------->
Well to so I don't bore anyone, just know I loved it and I know it will be the best decision I have ever made in my life! One thing I love about being married is that now I get SO excited when people I know get engaged. I will be honest. I was a little worried I would be jealous and wish it was my wedding day but honestly that is not how I feel. Sure, I LOVED my special day (if you can't tell) but I am just excited that the newly engaged couple gets to experience that soon. They get to have those same feelings and share it with the person they love and I am so excited for them!

Welp... my parents have officially sent the last of their children off on a mission. Johnny boy is gone for two whole years. It was hard for me to let him leave (kinda.. I mean I knew it was the right thing but he is still my little brother!!) but now that he is out there and I can write him and he lets me know he loves it I feel so happy. I also feel so blessed that I have a little brother who is worthy to serve and mission and is doing Heavenly Father's work. Missions are amazing and one day I will go on one with my Sammy but I couldn't go now because then I wouldn't have met Sam!!! Tragic... sigh... I did meet him though so NO WORRIES!


So I started student teaching this semester. You can ask my husband.. I was stressing about it! I was so nervous I wasn't going to be able to do it but so far it hasn't been that bad! I am teaching online at UTVA for the first half of the semester and I think it is a good thing because it is easing me in slowly! I love it though. It is so fun to interact with the students, teach them, email, and I love seeing them accomplish their work. I never knew I would get so much joy out of seeing that the students are turning in their assignments! This school is mainly for students who didn't do well in traditional school for some reason so they already struggle with school. I get to be the teacher who calls and talks with them, emails them regularly, and sets up a lot of classes for them to come get help at but I love it. It is a lot of fun and I love being called Mrs. Tyler. I am still learning and have A LOT more to learn but I am liking it and getting the hang of it. I know that I will never be able to leave my work at the school but that is ok because I like what I do! I can't wait to get into the traditional classroom.

Well... that is all I got for now! Get ready to see what an amazing blogger I can be because this is a new era and I am going to be a good blogger. Adios amigos!
