<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; color: #d5a6bd; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I decided to look at some of my friends blogs and realized that I have not blogged in a year and that was a little weird to see considering that I look at others blogs I guess not my own. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; color: #d5a6bd; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I will admit that this year has been a busy one, I moved schools and grades (more on that later). I have been trying to redefine myself with learning and experiencing new and exciting things, and spending plenty of time with friends and family. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; color: #c27ba0; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; color: #c27ba0; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I never thought that my life would head down the path of teaching when I was younger I thought that you had to be crazy to be a teacher. Here I am 5 years later and loving my job, I will admit it has not been an easy road or job. There where times when I wanted to cry and sometimes did, or just wanted to scream at the top of my lungs b/c I am so frustrated. When I reflect on the last 5 years I wouldn't change a thing. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; color: #a64d79; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I moved schools again, the reason was downsizing at my old school and with being the low man on the list I was the first to go. I spent many sad nights at home and saying goodbye to my old school and kids last year was one of the hardest things I had to do. It is never easy being the new teacher at a school, parents tend to not be very accepting when someone new comes to their school. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #741b47;">Coming to my new school I have never felt more</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #f1c232;">support </span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #741b47;">and </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #f1c232; font-size: large;">love </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #741b47;">from a community of parents and students. Going back to 6th grade I was overjoyed to be in a grade that I truly love to teach, and the students that I teach everyday cement why I wanted to be a teacher. These wonderful students make me want to be a better teacher, they show me so much</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #f1c232;"> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">respect</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #741b47; font-size: large;"> </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #741b47;">and an</span> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #f1c232; font-size: large;">excitement </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #741b47;">t</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #741b47;">o learn new ideas and concepts. I have been pushing myself to come up with fun project and interesting ways to present new concepts to them, I am so inspired by them everyday. The parents have been such a wonderful support, anything that I need they provide, they have the most</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #f1c232;"> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">positive attitudes</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #741b47;"> and always a kind word for me. I feel that the move to my new school has been the </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #f1c232; font-size: large;"><i>best thing that has happened to me</i></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #741b47;"> as a teacher. I hope to </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #f1c232;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">inspire</span> </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #741b47;">my students as much as they</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #f1c232;"> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">i</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">nspire</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #741b47;"> me!</span></span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">The school year has gone by so fast and has been so busy I can't believe that this year is almost over. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">The year has been great but really hard with 32 students 2 of them having autism, I find myself working long hours and lots of meetings. The students have been fun to work with and I have learned so much. I am making a move to a new school next year and I am very nervous about this change but I know in the long run it will be a great move. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"> have been working hard on getting my <b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red;">Gifted endorsement</span></b> with classes after work, I will now be able to teach a class of all gifted students. It has been a very long and hard process but I am very excited to be finishing it up next week. In my school district the students that test into the gifted program go to a gifted class once a week to focus on their talents and push them even further. I am hoping to one day be the teacher of this program and teach 3-6th graders. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">For spring break my <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000;"><b>AMAZING MOTHER</b></span> took me to </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #674ea7;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Washington D.C.</span></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #674ea7;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"> </span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">for some much needed fun and sight seeing. We had such an amazing time there and had fantastic weather! Some of the highlights of the trip where; Smithsonian's American history, natural history, and flight. We went on a Capital tour and had the chance to see some great things that not everyone gets to see. The White house tour was really interesting my mom and I got to go through the kitchen and see more of the White house then most. We went on a night tour of all the monument, I was amazed by all I saw and learned. The man that drove the bus was very knowledgeable and took us to a few more stops then the normal tour. There was so much that we did in the few days we stayed, but this is just a little taste. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">This school year has been flying by and with the end looming over me I know there is still so much that needs to get done. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Once again the Motto of the class is</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cc0000;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"> </span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cc0000;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Finish Strong! </span></span></span></span><br />

This child came to me for reading last year and really flourished in my class, so the principal and special ed decided to place him back in my room with only minimal help from special ed. Much to my surprise he has been doing great, the things that would normally send him into a state of panic and then lead to crying on the floor, is just shrugged off and he moves on to the next task. The thing that we are working on now is not always telling me every time he gets something wrong on his paper. ha ha </i></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:webdings;"><i>

They are so eager to learn and just make me laugh! I am so blessed to have a job that makes me laugh and watch them learn.

I know someone that bought shoes at the thrift store and keeps telling everyone that they are "vintage" when I was out shopping this weekend I saw the same shoes at a department store. So I guess if you buy it at the thrift store it is automatically "vintage". </div><div>Maybe I should start buying everything at the thrift store because that means that all my cloths will be "vintage". ha ha Now if it's from the 1950 then I would consider that item to be vintage because it is actually "vintage".</div><div>Sorry about the rant but I just needed to put it out there. </div></div></div>Heatherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06817058258323915603noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7727872378675086736.post-16361601772394018582011-06-17T22:10:00.000-07:002011-06-17T22:48:13.117-07:00Finish Strong!<div><div>I feel like I say the statement <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#FF0000;"><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:large;">"Finish Strong"</span></i></span> to my students everyday the last month of school.

I was bad this year and did not take as many pictures as I would have liked, but oh well there is always next year!</span>Heatherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06817058258323915603noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7727872378675086736.post-88221053597979072522010-10-24T09:17:00.001-07:002010-10-24T09:25:47.385-07:00Beauty and the Beast!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpt4MjwFRsT5aB62e98k-rzhOS2qS7-OVg0I5_ZBNOwvIBrnktQ7NYEwLjfmEYS2XRK7D3zqt3kkwPEsQt6R-jsgclRwivddK0PmiXPr0CXxPTmk0i-TKUoU7BKw6902FqfUCdmgLi6RQ/s1600/IMG_2124.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpt4MjwFRsT5aB62e98k-rzhOS2qS7-OVg0I5_ZBNOwvIBrnktQ7NYEwLjfmEYS2XRK7D3zqt3kkwPEsQt6R-jsgclRwivddK0PmiXPr0CXxPTmk0i-TKUoU7BKw6902FqfUCdmgLi6RQ/s400/IMG_2124.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5531649597858955778" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-9WHp-qluUkaYx-HXbhBslWrt4Cj5zk_zlidmSVM4N2d_S5r9oSn1BUIiijveG522TD6ePbVTTebNcxzw4tstAtb7LwVL7E3CRByt74i_55XF1mxGIOlwun-TzGSfKQZgp_eKE7waQvw/s1600/IMG_2123.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-9WHp-qluUkaYx-HXbhBslWrt4Cj5zk_zlidmSVM4N2d_S5r9oSn1BUIiijveG522TD6ePbVTTebNcxzw4tstAtb7LwVL7E3CRByt74i_55XF1mxGIOlwun-TzGSfKQZgp_eKE7waQvw/s400/IMG_2123.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5531649591690718994" /></a><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;">I have been very <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#CC0000;"><i><b>Excited</b></i> </span></span>to see <i><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#FF6666;">Beauty and the Beast</span></span></b></i>!

I have been spending my weekends very low key. On Friday it was my friends birthday so we went out to celebrate on Saturday. We started at the Aquarium and it was almost empty, we had a lot of fun walking around looking at all the fish and different exhibits. After that we went to Joe's Farm Grill to eat, and it was amazing!!!!! The final event for the night was Jester'Z an improve comedy club. What a fun filled night I really enjoyed being out and having a great time. <div>On Sunday my parents purchased tickets to the Steve Martin and the Steep Canyon Ranger concert. I was very excited to go with them and my Grandparents. Now this is Bluegrass music, but I have to tell you it was amazing! Steve Martin is a great musician and was telling jokes to make the night even better. I was blown away by the band that was there as well. It was such an amazing concert!</div><div>This has been one of the best weekend that I have had in a long time. </div>Heatherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06817058258323915603noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7727872378675086736.post-67619616384804159872010-08-24T19:36:00.000-07:002010-08-24T19:40:18.403-07:00Vader Dances to Hammer<div>This made me laugh this morning and I wanted to share it.

I love the patriotism that you get in small towns everyone decorates, and dresses up. It makes me proud to be an in this country. We spent the weekend taking the rhino out, BBQ, and spending time with family and friends. We watched fireworks from the top of the golf course, we could see Heber, Show Lows, and St. Johns shows from where we sat. We sent the nights with the telescopes looking at the stars and constellations. It is great to be in a place where we can really see the stars.

The food was amazing and the view was wonderful.</div><div> Because we got to the place early we had time to kill, so we went to a macadamia nut farm. They had all these different kinds of flavors to try. It was a great place to pick up my last minute gifts before dinner. There where many more things that we did while there but this is just a sample of some of the great adventures that we had on my vacation to Paradise. This was such an amazing trip, hopefully I will get to visit again soon.</div><div><br /></div><br /></div></div></div></div></div></div>Heatherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06817058258323915603noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7727872378675086736.post-24584849813266321822010-05-15T19:18:00.000-07:002010-05-15T19:26:51.885-07:00Something Old<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipSp4uq7AtVi-3oQMIhhXKB4Kl8WHH5RbBE5dbPnkjJ6BqNzQiCp4td6DIilCput4JbWu9epB6q9j5khg3O2uA3ZGShlKG5bJcxdHmfvgytSLYAF45IQUYoCBUocGW8kGATuusdgpqDy8/s1600/IMG_7280.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipSp4uq7AtVi-3oQMIhhXKB4Kl8WHH5RbBE5dbPnkjJ6BqNzQiCp4td6DIilCput4JbWu9epB6q9j5khg3O2uA3ZGShlKG5bJcxdHmfvgytSLYAF45IQUYoCBUocGW8kGATuusdgpqDy8/s400/IMG_7280.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5471687747555581762" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#3366FF;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">My cousin <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'lucida grande';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#CC66CC;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;">Shauna</span></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;"> </span>and I went to <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#009900;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;">Africa</span></span></span> last summer to visit my parents who were serving a mission there.

AIMS came and passed with much stress and sleepless nights. My kids worked really hard and I am very proud of them. <div>We did a fun activity for history with my kids, I split them up into different Greek City States and we had Olympic games. The kids made T-shirts headbands and flags for each of there groups. It was so much fun to see the kids really get into the games and all the fun we had doing the games. The best <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">competition</span> that we did was the <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">Javelin</span> the kids had to come up with the <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">javelin</span> to throw and it was so much fun to watch them try to cheat with the game.<div>We also took the kids to Sea World, they took classes at sea world and got to sleep at the park! It was rainy and cold the first night but by the second day the sun came out and it was nice and warm. It was such a blast and I was so glad that my kids got to experience this fun two days at Sea World. </div><div>I can't believe that the school year is almost over! I am ready for the break, but I will really miss this group of kids. </div></div>Heatherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06817058258323915603noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7727872378675086736.post-62320773322446913202010-02-10T18:01:00.000-08:002010-02-10T18:17:03.753-08:00Viva Las Vegas!!!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9ARgO6PBWwB2poc5wG_S7522xoK9tesvK34601cl8eqvrxgSYu8R6kL80XMSOCNi3zzFnQ2RzM0UQDQKwBGASpWekZ2SaboOfKaw4_HN6KLLktA88DY8uEOWfxuvwPPikMMpD2ZdGT6c/s1600-h/IMG_1571.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9ARgO6PBWwB2poc5wG_S7522xoK9tesvK34601cl8eqvrxgSYu8R6kL80XMSOCNi3zzFnQ2RzM0UQDQKwBGASpWekZ2SaboOfKaw4_HN6KLLktA88DY8uEOWfxuvwPPikMMpD2ZdGT6c/s320/IMG_1571.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5436803424273135986" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtCB9h-1sZH65-gjzrYlMVGVDUGvuwuwwyIue0eod9rgXkoFa31ERxcYcNBwqXFycSUgdB7iw0prkgZTQtdb00sJpWMXzXMU-OB_HfFXxnnc7IBT_iYWuH-OJdAinMdPjXPY0fSCyPrC8/s1600-h/22553_338980508272_608658272_4776498_5882717_n.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtCB9h-1sZH65-gjzrYlMVGVDUGvuwuwwyIue0eod9rgXkoFa31ERxcYcNBwqXFycSUgdB7iw0prkgZTQtdb00sJpWMXzXMU-OB_HfFXxnnc7IBT_iYWuH-OJdAinMdPjXPY0fSCyPrC8/s320/22553_338980508272_608658272_4776498_5882717_n.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5436803416846357314" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMQCbinRlgVITT1FWgWjZ4I6mps-mo1ReTbiQT4lRhvLO7z8hR05vBZfNtJXJZMsVldYE_itLaPDOMR7Cm8u7D5HRDaP0ZijRJuIh48GKR96YyJalwbKr9KzRNDWlNOs5XpnOh0O_qExA/s1600-h/22553_338980378272_608658272_4776480_7292409_n.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMQCbinRlgVITT1FWgWjZ4I6mps-mo1ReTbiQT4lRhvLO7z8hR05vBZfNtJXJZMsVldYE_itLaPDOMR7Cm8u7D5HRDaP0ZijRJuIh48GKR96YyJalwbKr9KzRNDWlNOs5XpnOh0O_qExA/s320/22553_338980378272_608658272_4776480_7292409_n.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5436803411761116722" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9tyiqTmb4mhWcIVA3HTfSxkTGHN_7etLevQXii5guGP-C29Rbw1TJqvB-lKTCq5SuWpdi2gptC12FV6YqSxetiZdJtxNevz58TC5X3_4_DxhVQop2dmWtJOb3xiyQ5RQDXEuff0fBHwk/s1600-h/22553_338980248272_608658272_4776468_3343837_n.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 249px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9tyiqTmb4mhWcIVA3HTfSxkTGHN_7etLevQXii5guGP-C29Rbw1TJqvB-lKTCq5SuWpdi2gptC12FV6YqSxetiZdJtxNevz58TC5X3_4_DxhVQop2dmWtJOb3xiyQ5RQDXEuff0fBHwk/s320/22553_338980248272_608658272_4776468_3343837_n.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5436803400796786946" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg40w1GXtTJ3M3h6UxbZzCP_Molw0hBft5VaoHoqlyxzEa_ommwjk4JLBmc_uEgY6p4Vf9GSDc9IkZIlq9Mi77IMykVNXmBWeHoMusDQS6NiVONeMxtnUMQFFaPwX5YM637CsONwLXLXZg/s1600-h/22553_338977348272_608658272_4776447_7105674_n.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg40w1GXtTJ3M3h6UxbZzCP_Molw0hBft5VaoHoqlyxzEa_ommwjk4JLBmc_uEgY6p4Vf9GSDc9IkZIlq9Mi77IMykVNXmBWeHoMusDQS6NiVONeMxtnUMQFFaPwX5YM637CsONwLXLXZg/s320/22553_338977348272_608658272_4776447_7105674_n.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5436803398181191362" /></a><br /><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>About 2 weeks ago my friend <b><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#3333FF;">Brian </span></i></b>called me and asked me what I was doing the 5-7th because it was 2 weeks away I of course had no idea, and he suggested Vegas!

Knowing that I have not seen it, he decided to take me. We where supposed to go out to eat before the movie, By the time we got to the movie and bought the tickets it was too late to eat at a restaurant, so we decided to see what was around. We could only find fast place and Wendy's was the best of them all. We got some food and ate in the car.... ha ha. Not what was planned but it was a lot of fun anyway. The movie in 3-D was great. A little long but the 3-D was amazing to watch. It was a great night out and Bonus I tried something New with the 3-D movie!!</span><div><br /><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0RQiYQTg5vu-2-Tcn0Oux4Mx0u4AjUb9k3bNUqhREIrWoBHR2t49zm0a3_Rh-a4PKtIeHtPiUhMAc-IXPt392GNCN1ohgD6WJICh4uZYG3yq_8FUJoSELPmzu_OtaSCOSJ9Y6SEipDnQ/s320/IMG_1569.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5433625800909673698" /><div><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4260FgPt5SvAUiReSLXp3EnGipqjZkJWuoPjPAxjncy_ymjMPeaOw4HAT4BXHsTymAnM1sv4P7SjUN-9pt-ieEZ6Uyuxdh4IC5jzdSf4eUeNuULFRGNJPxk1KAhT-mKSJOcQ4Zc3kuRE/s1600-h/IMG_1570.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4260FgPt5SvAUiReSLXp3EnGipqjZkJWuoPjPAxjncy_ymjMPeaOw4HAT4BXHsTymAnM1sv4P7SjUN-9pt-ieEZ6Uyuxdh4IC5jzdSf4eUeNuULFRGNJPxk1KAhT-mKSJOcQ4Zc3kuRE/s320/IMG_1570.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5433625810839356178" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div></div></div>Heatherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06817058258323915603noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7727872378675086736.post-11858471112228121342010-01-24T17:41:00.000-08:002010-01-24T18:13:10.848-08:00Turning 27!!!!!<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#663366;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;">Yesterday was my <b><i>Birthday </i></b>and it was <i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:large;"><b>Great</b></span></i><b>! </b></span></span><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#663366;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;"><b></b>On Friday<b> </b>my 6th grade team decorated the workroom with goodies from Paradise Bakery, then they treated me to Lunch at Flancers they are an amazing group of people. </span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#663366;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;">I started my birthday with my dad making me breakfast to start my morning off.

I have seen this place many times because it is right next to an Applebees that my friends and I go to. I have heard that it is good but just never went. So I made the decision to go with two friends of mine. The restaurant is Japanese and they cook on a grill in front of you (kinda like Benihanas). It was amazing, our cook was fantastic, and the food was great. We had such a great time and plan to go back soon. I hope to keep my goal in mind each week and find something new or fun to do each week. </span></div>Heatherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06817058258323915603noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7727872378675086736.post-35582234125671820722010-01-03T17:33:00.000-08:002010-01-03T18:19:50.136-08:00Great start to 2010!!<div><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgibdipysosNXauv-uMKc3lTsizkVEDSA94Lq4cT8T_5orwCLwv96uJFJ0TZtft4AHtqJeiflXfMb4zan2ope8gXUjKkad-fG2TgqpOS0xrfJnZqaHEYe0ddQlzURQHQSHXhrbXiPpkxXg/s320/IMG_1536.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5422696948985584018" /></div><div><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#000066;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;">I </span></span></span></b><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#000066;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;">have decided that 2010 is going to be all about new and exciting things.
