Self-Esteem Boost!

Today I got on the Utah Teacher Site USOE and found out they mailed my Level II license yesterday.  I know it doesn't mean much to anyone but a Utah teacher but it was really fantastic news...trust me.  They also included a list of all the things I am qualifed to teach. Talk about a boost to my self esteem!  I look totally awesome on paper!!

Phoenix or Bust!

Over labor day weekend, Allen and I helped Karen move to Mesa, Arizona. They both spent the night with me in St. George. We woke up to Calvin making us a gourmet breakfast. Next, Allen checked the hitch to make sure we didn't lose the Karen's car we were pulling and then we were off.  There is a picture of Karen in her favorite room--her new kitchen and all the boxes we unpacked before I left. Her apartment is not two blocks from the Mesa temple it's more like 2 rocks.
