MISS Smith

Okay, so I got hired to intern at Meadow Elementary School in Lehi. This has definitely been an adventure! I really had no idea what I was getting myself into. I thought that teaching 7 year-olds would be a breeze! It's much more preparation, schooling, and work than I thought. The first day of school seemed to go... well... interesting. Telling my students that my name is Carly, instead of Miss Smith, going back to eating elementary school lunch, and having little Eliana barfing all over my class didn't really do it for me. Even though things happen and it is a lot of work, I really wouldn't trade it for anything right now! I have the BEST class in the world! They are amazing cute kids that are all so different that it makes my class so enjoyable.

Happy MOOB!

This trip happened about a month ago, but I LOVE this place so much! This summer was my first time going, and I really think I found my favorite place in the whole world. A small group of my siblings and friends went to Moab and hiked Delicate Arch, went cliff jumping at Left Hand, went and "swam" (it was lightening, so we kind of waded) at Ken's Lake, saw a jeep stranded due to flash flooding, went to every shop open on Main Street, and ate at good ol' Zak's Pizza Place within 2 days. AMAZING trip. Loved every minute of it! Oh yeah, the second picture is the first time we went to Moab. That trip was quality!

Being Crafty!!

So... I've given in. My sisters, friends, and fellow teachers are forcing me to start this whole blogging thing. Actually, it's me. I have this goal of becoming more "crafty" and so I consider this my crafty experience for the year. So here I am. Just blogging away! I hope you all enjoy this diary about me.
