Miss Webb.

So I know I've seriously disappeared from the blog world lately.
Sorry! Summer was fun, but uneventful. I was a nanny to the cutest girls, I read A LOT, spent time with great friends, and just hung out and relaxed.

Let me tell you it's a good thing I recharged.
These last 5 days in Provo have literally been the most insane of my life.
I spend, I kid you not around 12 hours each day trying to get ready for school. I had no idea it would be this hard. I've been on the verge of tears too many times to count, and my to-do list gets longer, not any shorter, each and every day.
Thursday and Friday of next week I really thought I was going to lose it. I thought I would burn out before the kids even stepped in the door, and sometimes I still feel that way.

BUT, I have found a new strength I never knew I had.
It's real.
In 5 short days I'll be a teacher.
The day after tomorrow is back to school night, and I'll actually meet them.

The class list went up today, which means that 26 little people came to see who their 4th grade teacher was and saw my name.
That is so weird and wonderful.
This is everything I've spent the last 3 years working for and I can't believe its finally happening.

ps: don't expect me to have a social life this year, cause I don't. I literally work till I drop, and that probably isn't changing anytime soon. But hey, what can you do? That's life

keep smiling :)

seriously misunderstood creatures...

Janelle's secret wish:
Become a witch and move to Hogwarts.

The first book came out when I was 11 years old so I've grown up with Harry, Hermoine and have been crushing on Ron.

Because the last movie comes out this week I've been watching the movies non stop with my family, can I tell you how much I love this:



It's just the greatest

America has a Birthday

Can I tell you how much I love my town?

It's the best.

Anyone whose been here will tell you. Danville is known for its amazing 4th of July parade. People from all over come to watch the parade. I don't know why I've never been before it was so much fun!

Nanny Diaries: Day 2

A little less exciting today but I do have to say:
When cuddlebug looks up at you and says, "I'm happy you're back wif us and you stay wif us" it kind of melts your heart
Love that girl.

Nanny Diaries: Day 1

Well, today was the first day of nannying my two cute green girls again and it's great to be back. What's not so great? Let me tell you. Mama Green asked me to be at their house at 7:30 this morning and me having the white rabbit mentality can't stand to be late, so I set my alarm extra early and had everything ready to go. When my alarm didn't go off and I woke up at 8 I was freaking out as I ran around my room trying to get everything together. Despite the late start Mama Green was so nice and told me not to worry about it. After reading tutor we went to swim team, where as we were leaving I proceeded to slip and eat it in the gravel and dirt while carrying two big bags. My poor leg was gashed in but after some hydrogen peroxide and band aids everything was ok!

The rest of the day was nice and quiet with lots of time spent coloring and reading a good book

Love those girls and my family it's great to be home

the beautiful miss bosco who I love and adore found
"this little gem" and put it on her blog. I think it is kind of wonderful.
so, here you go, read through it all, it's worth the time I couldn't stop smiling :)

If you want a spiritual boost read this other lovely gem.
It changed my life.

who finished college?

(minus my internship next year)

oh ya, that would be me!

CRAZY!!

finals went really well, I got a 100% on my art final, a 95% on my marriage prep final (so basically I'm great marrying material...haha) and I'm not sure about my D&C final because it was in class and hand written so we'll have to wait and see, I felt pretty good about it.

Now all that is left to do is pack up what I'll need for the summer, load up the car, and drive back to Danville tomorrow morning.

weird.

I'll miss Provo and all my friends while I'm away, but I'm trying to embrace change and see it for the good (I'll let you know how that one goes)

Tonight I hope to play with my roommates and enjoy my last night here for the next two months.

love,
