I just wanted to write about a few things that have made me happy lately.
1. I'm done student teaching! I finished on Wednesday. I can't believe I'm completely done with school. I had a great experience and I loved my kids and my teacher, but I am happy to be done. It was stressful and exshausting. Although it was difficult, I now know that this is what I was meant to do. It's nice to know for sure that I chose the right profession. This is also nice because now I will be making a little money for the work I'm doing.
2. We went to Rexburg for Thanksgiving to visit Cody's family! It was really fun. We left right after school on Wednesday, and stayed till Sunday. Thursday, we had a good time eating and visiting with family. We ended up having 10 pies to eat because of lack of communication. Cody's aunt and uncle, Jed and Vicky, and their four boys came over. I loved playing with them all week. The littlest, Rayce, is only a few months old and he's the cutest, best baby in the world. We had fun playing with him. On Friday we woke up early in the morning and went shopping. Cody and I did some shopping for each other, and we helped Cody's mom and Vicky shop. It was fun helping Vicky shop for those little guys. While Cody did an excelent job of hiding everything he bought for me, I managed to accidently reveal all the presents I bought for Cody. oops. :) On Saturday, Jessica (my sister-in-law) and I had an awesome day of doing Christmas crafts. The boys were good helpers, helping us sand. On Sunday, Cody and I visited all the Corbridge relatives in Aberdeen. They conveniently gathered for lunch so we didn't have to go a lot of different places. It was good to see everyone there. Sadly, we forgot to bring our camera on this trip, so I dont' have any pictures. :(
But here is a picture of the crafts we did. Cody's mom did the nativity.
3. Happy thing number 3 is that my birthday is tomorrow!
4. This actually happened a while ago, but it still brings me joy. Cody refinished our table. We didn't have a table, so my parents gave us their old one that's been sitting in the backyard for years, exposed to the elements. It was old, and yucky, and there was paint on it. The chairs were in really bad shape too. They were basically falling apart. Cody is amazing and he made it look like this:
I love it so much. He also did the leaf so we can use this table for years to come, when we have several people that need to fit.
5. Jessica and Dakota (Cody's brother, and his wife) were sealed in the Salt Lake temple. It was amazing and I was so happy we could be there to see that.
6. We went to a Boise State game. We figured we should go while Cody was a student and he got a free ticket. It was awesome, but it was SO COLD! They won of course.
