I feel like a saga has come to an end! I started my quest to finish school at the beginning of 2003, and 8 years later, I'm finally done! Today, I finished my senior project and my portfolio! Everything is ready to go, tomorrow is my last class, and on April 7th I will have my exit interview.
I'm so glad I stuck it out. In the end it was completely worth it! I'm going to have a SUPER BIG CELEBRATION!!!!
Yay for being done with school and moving on with my life!!

Precious
I did pictures for my good friend Samantha of her daughter Airis. This little girl is the most adorable thing I've ever see!! We got some great pictures, but I think this one is my favorite!
Made My Day...
I'm officially DONE with Student Teaching! I have learned so much! On friday I graded a bunch of papers and quickly began to feel like I had learned more than my students. I was kind of down and feeling like a horrible teacher when I saw the following note on my computer.
Front: I'll Miss You
Inside:
Dear Mrs. Adams,
I am very sad that you are leaving. I hope that you had the best time with us. I've had trubles with math and you have helped me if I didn't get something. I hope you remember me and the class! I will miss you! I've never felt like a teacher liked me but you never yell, you are ALWAYS nice and don't ever get mad. I've loved you as a teacher and I will never forget you!!
From Lauren
P.S. You are always funny and sweet and you do a lot of fun things with us. Plase come visit us! You come anytime you want. I am very proud of what you did hear and I would even say you changed my life. I hope you fined the pirfect job for you even if it means beaing a mom. I know you will have a next good year. I'm going to miss you! Buena Suerte!
I almost cried when I read it! It seriously made my day, and helped me feel like I wasn't a failure! I love being a teacher, and little things that make it all worth it. That same day I got many more notes saying similar things. So sweet. I'm kind of sad that I won't be teaching, but the joy of getting to be a full-time mom makes that sadness go away. :D

You probably already know...
"A girl?!!? I might 'a known she'd have a girl!"
Quick, what's that from? (hint, it was one of my favorite movies when I was little)
So if you haven't already heard on facebook, I'm pregnant, and we found out yesterday it's a girl. We are beyond thrilled!!! Last night, I spent most of my time thinking about how to decorate the nursery and Boston's new room. Now, if I can only think of a way to PAY for my new ideas. lol.
We have a first name and are stuck on a middle name. Madison is the first and some options for the middle are: Rachel, Kate, Kaylee, and Faith. Maybe we're a little bit ahead of ourselves, but we can't help it. What do you think would be a good middle name? (You don't have to pick from what I posted)
Boston has no idea what's coming. Every time Chris asks Boston where mommy's baby is, he points to himself and looks at Chris like, "I'm right here dad, why would you ask such a dumb question?"
Speaking of Boston, he's had a rough few days. It's the first time in his little life that he's been super sick. He's been throwing up, had diarrhea, a cough, and a fever that was hovering between 102 and 104 and that's with Tylenol! Thursday night was the roughest, and I stayed up with him all night trying to keep his fever down so we wouldn't have to take him to the E.R. I finally got him settled enough to sleep for a bit around 5am. I stayed home Friday to take care of him and take him to the doctor should his fever not come down. Today has been better. He's only thrown up once, so far hasn't had much of a fever, and he ate TWO individual fruit snacks! This was a big development because he has refused to eat anything at all since Wednesday. I'm hanging out with him at home tonight and going to see if I get get him to eat. Wednesday he had a 6 hour nap, and today he's slept 5 hours. I figure if that's what his little body needs than go for it.
I've got exactly 7 days of student teaching left, and I'm so ready to be done! It has been an amazing experience, and I've learned and grown so much from it. However, I feel that I'm ready to move on to the next phase in my life and focus on just being a mom. So while I'm sad to not be able to teach, the happiness I feel about being a stay at home mom makes everything else seem less important. :)

Change
I guess I loved my calling way too much because I got released today. I was a teacher in the Relief Society, and I LOVED it. I've only been there for about 5 or 6 months, and now they're putting me in Primary with the 4-year old class.
It's good. 4 year olds will be energetic and fun, but I will really miss teaching in RS.
