so um, Hi blog world...again

Yeah, so its been awhile eh? Since May...well I have been reading other people's blogs at least, and today I FINALLY caught up on actually commenting on them, so I started reading at 12:30...and now its 2:20....in between that time, my mum and Ben came over and I played "hit" which is sword fighting while eating sandwhich's...so yeah...obviously I'm not working today.

So here's my life so far lately in a nut shell in case anyone wants to know, and for my future references back, cause thats what journals are for, even if they are bloggy.

Work--I'm substituting for Davis County Schools, mostly North Davis Jr High and Syracuse Jr High at least 3-5 times a week. I love the kids, its just very exhausting to have to build that student-teacher relationship/respect each time I go to a new class, so I am thankful for those two schools that call me back loads and have me teach the same students over and over

I am applying for new jobs almost every day I have time, a day off....on teachers-teachers, checking districts openings, and sadly I have even resorted to applying to be a secretary. It pains me literally to think that I have to do something I don't want to do.

I want to be a history teacher soo much, its horrid when I'm in the shower or dreaming of a wonderful lesson plan, and I have no students to implement it to. : ( Not only that, I would really really love a stable full-time job so I can start saving up for some things.... ;).

Tyler--Gah, i love this kid, he is such a nerd and I am perfectly ok with that cause he is so ridiculously patient with me on my crazy antics. We would like to get married.... @_@ (<--thats a rolly eye emoticon) but lets see...I refuse to accept a ring till he does a few things, one of them is to buy a freaking car already!!! It annoys me to no blessed end how he does not have a car, and that he sees no reason as to why he needs one so he takes foreverrrrrrr to find one....at least this past month he has test drove two cars, on the first one the people lied to us from the beginning, saying they didnt know a lot about the car since they were the 2nd owners, there was an accident--it was the other drivers fault, etc. all this junk, we loved the car, I was stoked for it, then we carfaxed it..... :( They were the only owners, and the other driver to the accident....a CONCRETE BARRIER!! Then the last car he liked, the guy sold it the day before he went to test drive it...Tyler is uber picky with what he wants to, something around 50-80k miles on it, a hatchback, and between $5-8k...and I want it to have 4 doors on it. So if anyone knows of this miracle car that we have yet to find under the rainbow, please let me know.

Ty just went to San Antonio for work and got another raise, so its not like the boy isn't making money :P

Also I am bloody sick of people asking "So when are you getting married?" Me and Ty are not really the average normal Mormon couple seeing as we have been dating on and off for 4...5 years, he's been off his mission um since last june so over a year...but yes, I am ready to marry him....but I really want a full time stable job before then, and for him to have a bloody car. We get that question more times than anything else....it can drive a person mad.

>>edited out and posted in private<<

Family is as always crazy wonderful. I practically live at Terra's house 75% of the week, Caleb and Corbin are (unbiasedly) the CUTEST kids ever. Stink pots for sure, but cute :). They make my week a lot better.

Other than that, nothing new....nothing old....I'm utterly bored a lot since Ty works full time and goes to school at night, so if anyone would like to do anything give me a call

Oh and I got banned for hacking my favorite game...that was a bad weekend, lol...if you haven't noticed yet, I'm as nerdy as Tyler....probably why we fit so well.

PS. I just noticed, I have had this blog for almost one year...total 7 posts Woot Go me :D

Hiking A lot

So lately Tyler has decided that we need to go hiking....and in his opinion, he would love to go everyday. So far I know he hiked Adams Canyon at least 3 or 4 times last week alone, I hiked it once with him. I am so out of shape but I am so grateful that when I go hiking with him, he doesnt mind stopping every 20 feet for me to get a drink or catch my breathe. Hopefully, this summer will put me back into shape.

This week we babysat at my aunts house up by 12th street in Ogden and after we were done decided to drive in the canyon till we found a trail. We stopped off maybe about a mile inward of the canyon at what is called Indian Trail I think...We didnt do the whole hike, as it goes around the mountain in various ways and ends off at 22nd street. So we looked at the map and decided to go to what is called Nevada Point which is 1.8 miles into the hike. The hike is beautiful and safe for the most part if you want to take kids to it. There is a lot of uphill, and great views of the canyon, and a stream that runs through it most of the way. I was so happy we finished this hike, a total of 3.6 miles, that we stopped off at one of our favorite food spots and picked up a half dozen Mormon Muffins as a reward :D

On Wednesday, we decided to use the State Park Pass my dad got from the library (which btw, every davis county library has one, you can go into ANY state park for free--get to check it out for a week) and go to Antelope Island, still had to pay $2 but still...we used my GPS and I plugged in lots of geocaches (www.geocaching.com -- like a free treasure hunt) on Antelope Island for us to find. Out of the 10 I plugged in, we found 3.

The first one is by the front of the park, the second was a multi-cache, which means you have to go from point to point in order to find the next clue that will bring you to the final cache. We drove along the east side of the island and ended up at the Ranch wandering around for 30 minutes at least trying to follow my coordinates. I gave up and asked the rancher if he knew what I was looking for...he did...laughed at us, we were about 300 feet off track, and gave us a cool medallion and pointed us to the cache.

On our way back I noticed a cache that cooresponded with a hike. Tyler really wanted to hike of course, so that was the next one. So began our FOUR HOUR hike up to Frarry Peak (the top most part of Antelope Island) We thought it would take 2 hours, or we wouldnt have done it due to time...silly us..anyways, this hike is completely uphill till you get to the top, there are some flat areas that I was very grateful for. It is 4 miles one way, 4 miles the other (which is then all down hill) the last .2 miles of the hike are the most difficult, and there are 2 landslide areas about 2 feet across that one wrong step, and your sliding down. Its not steep enough to kill you, but enough to scare the bejibus out of you. The cruel part was that to get to the final cache at the top of the hill...we had to hike down another 200 feet, and up another 200 feet...The bugs were out soo much, I could barely sign the log. Another part I didnt like, was you would think you were at the top, get to that summit...and see the trail going on to the hill next to it you didnt see. Got sunburnt a little. But now me and Tyler can say we hiked to the top of that thing, I dont recommend taking kids on this hike till they are older at least 8 or 10 and bring food and plenty of water, (and TP just in case), maybe even a hiking stick as you will be on your butt going down from the top part of that .2 lol.

The next day, my leg hurt sooo bad. And on friday Tyler ran a 5k with his little sister for their school. I would have ran it with them, but I missed the sign up date, so I got pictures and was the water girl.
My computer and camera connector dont seem to want to work together, so I will post pictures up of some of these adventures when they do.

Next week I'm going to Duck Beach North Carolina for what I call Morman Spring Break with my friend Ryan, Im super stoked to go to the beach, and maybe hike some trails up to light houses. But really excited to see some friends from last year.
Also some time this summer, Tyler wants to go on a road trip and we will go to Page AZ (his mission area) and Cali, I know he wants me to hike this one hike that is half way in water...we will see how the weather is, if its hot im all for it.

I applied to a historian job on HAFB as the teacher jobs are becoming fewer to find, and harder to get an interview with. I really hope I can get a job by the end of summer. If not, I'll be applying out of town...and I dont want that....ugh...
So that is the uppity date for this month, see ya next month or when i get my computer camera working. If your private please add me jeamie_sm_15@yahoo.com I love keeping in touch with everyone.

Gradumation

So i finally took that blasted test, and passed the class...now i finally graduate...the question is which thing to i go to? Do i go to the Social Science one or Education? I got a letter from SS...but when tyler went to pick my cap and gown up he got stuff from Ed...just my luck I'll go to the wrong one, and my name wont be called...awkward.
In other news, applying for jobs like mad with districts, but of course Utah is retarded and nobody is really hiring any new teachers, so I put my money on me going out of state for my first year of teaching at least.
Ya know with all the money that Obama has in his bail-out, why has none of it gone to education? I'm a little put out with that.
I am excited to go to Duck, there is something about the East Coast now, that I just can't resist, I really do love it.
So thats the update of my life this month, nothing new really has happened besides that.

Cinderella did not show up tonight

Well I find that I post about once a month, that seems like a good number till I get married and am away from family...hahahahaha.....like Terra would let that happen again.

Anywho...

Well tonight was the military ball, Tyler's dad is in the military and they do this big hoorah up at the Capitol. However, I was stressing, and stressing hard. I didn't know what kind of dress to wear, so I had a gift card to Kohl's I thought I would use, and to no avail could not find a dress. So i decided ok, well whats his family wearing? He texted me back saying everyone was going in formals so Coolio I can wear my prom dress again, i love that dress, it even has its own name the "pink banana" so I started getting ready around 5 put my hair in curlers, etc.
Yet when I took my hair out, it wasn't curled at all...so i plugged in the curling iron, and started madly curling away...still looked like poop and wouldnt hold....so i tried to do it up, figured hey i got quite a few curls going on there, I can try to do the do I had for prom. WRONG-OH....
So i took out the 30 odd bobby pins in my hair, and all the curls that were there before...completely gone. My hair was not being my friend in the least bit, I had no make up on yet, and of course I'm breaking out on my chin like mad again...and I started to cry....

For those of you who don't know yet for some odd reason, I was diagnosed a "major depressive" person oh, what 4 years ago or 5 now...and have taken all sorts of medication since, thankfully I've been on the right medication for 2 years, was stable enough to move out of state for awhile even. Yet every sooo often the sneaky little monster gets back in my head, needless to say I became a basket case tonight and didn't go to the ball, I blame my hair....lol

However, on a happier note, I am so grateful for Tyler. He is so understanding when I have my bad days, and always ready to help me in any way he can even if its just to hold me while i ball my eyes out for no reason. His sister didn't ask anyone to the ball, so I told Tyler to go be her date, and he agreed with me. I am so lucky to have someone so patient in my life.

I know that I've gotten a bit worse since school has gotten out, and I've had nothing to do. I admitted to my doctor, when I have nothing to do, I get more down...so its a good thing my friend Amy is taking me to the Utah Teachers Recruiting Fair at U of U on Tuesday which means I need to write my resume and have copies made on monday, and make sure I dont have a bad hair day again :D. Then on Wednesday I get my subsitute teaching thingy finally, hopefully subsitute more after that just to get me back to doing stuff.

I know when I finally get a job teaching, I'm going to be soo occupied with it and soo happy no matter where it is. I just love it soo much. I even loved student-teaching, I didn't mind not being paid even though the students would say "WHAT?!?!?! Your not getting paid for this?" I loved making up assignments, and correcting them, and helping the kids out. I'm really grateful to also graduate with an Art History Minor...even though you technically can't with a History Teaching Degree...do do do. I love history---oooo me and tyler should go to Egypt on our honeymoon...whenever that may be ; ). thats the idea of today anyways...tomorrow Disney Cruise

do do do

So I thought I would post...since I like never do...basically I'm still alive.
