First Week
I started work at EC on Tuesday, and I must say I'm enjoying my job very much! I'm working in the Kindergarten with Mrs. T. She has 30 students per class, which makes 60 students total. I monitor student progress, take over in a pinch, and prepare any materials needed for lessons. The kids are sweet, and the work is right up my alley. The hours are nice, too. ;-)
Sunday I was called to be a ward missionary, and I'm a little nervous about it. Hopefully I'll do my best and it will be enough. I find out who my companion is tomorrow!
Tuesday, as you know, I started my job. It went fantastically, but towards the end of the day I started on a headache. Being the silly that I am, I hadn't brought any ibuprofen. By the time I started to drive home, I had a roaring migraine. The combination of stress, little sleep, no lunch and little water brought me to a fog of pain that made it very hard to drive. I was literally praying that I'd be able to make it home without an accident. Coming home, I was so much in pain! Nothing made it better, so I finally asked Andrew to give me a priesthood blessing. He called a brother across the way, and after the blessing I was finally able to sleep. A few hours sleep fixed me up just fine. Thank Heaven for the power of the priesthood, and that Andrew was home and able to give me the blessing!
You may be wondering about the balloon pig. ;-) Fridays in Mrs. T's class are Fairy Tale Fridays. We get to have a parent come in, read a story and do an activity with the class. In the morning the parent made stick puppets with the kids. They had so much fun! This was their first time using liquid glue, however, and the parent didn't take into account...well...let's just say we had a bit of a mess! ^_^ In the afternoon, a mom came in and made balloon pigs, read the story and had the kids make faces on their own balloons. So much fun!

Playing Catsup.
It's school time again! Mother is subbing, kids and college alike are in school and I sometimes have the house to myself. Not for much longer, however, because....
*drumroll*
I GOT A JOB! *excited squeal*
I'm a teaching assistant in the Kindergarten at EC Elementary (abbreviated for privacy reasons). It's not a fully contracted teaching job, but the principal says they're planning on having some positions open next year...and it's a foot in the door! Apparently they were really impressed with the subbing I did in the Kindergarten last year (thanks, Mrs. C and Mrs. J) and are excited to have me. Yay! I start Tuesday.
Harvest time is here at G-ma's, but with her leg problem we're doing most of the canning with T&M's family. We're picking tomatoes today and canning them tomorrow morning, so we'll see how that goes.
Over the summer we went to California and had a fun time at Universal Studios, Disneyland, California Adventure, and the beach! I'll end with just a few pictures (late in coming, but better than never).
I love you all!
Janette with the set of Waterworld. AWESOME show!
Jerry, Janette's favorite.
Giant lollipop! Wonder how many licks THIS one takes?
Sunday at the temple. Janette was there, she was taking the picture.
In front of Storybook Land (Disneland)
In Mickey's house. HARD couch!
Iridessa, the light fairy.
With Mickey. Get Janette's face!
Janette and her idol, Tinkerbell!
KITTY!
We made sure to see Lightning and Mater for T&M's family and also for Spencer.
Characters sealed their autographs with a "kiss."
It was Catherine's first time at the beach in California.
RAPUNZEL! My favorite princess EVER!
If I look tired, it's because it was our last day literally MINUTES before I left. XP
Apparently the photographers at the princess walk had a bit of fun with the young men...
Belle
Ariel (my hair's almost as red!)
Tiana (she had a lovely accent)
