The Career Woman

Will and I have recently relocated to Sandy because of my new appointment as Sunset Ridge's most inexperienced art teacher. I have finally launched into my career as an educator. For those that may wonder, Sunset Ridge is in the boonies--there is nothing around but new subdivisions clear out at 6800 W. and 8200 S. The school is really nice since it is only five years old. The faculty members are superb, and the students fantastic. Really, the only thing I have to complain about is my poor time management and trying to fill a new pair of shoes. They (whoever "they" is) say that the first year is always the hardest. I'm putting in a lot of hours, but I constantly remind myself that I'm "living the dream". So when I am downtrodden, I know I just need to watch Freedom Writers, Dead Poet Society, or Stand and Deliver to be sufficiently inspired. For now, I will survive a day at a time--revising my classroom management strategies, creating lesson plans, and putting a smile on my face. I love teaching.

I can honestly say that "I love you Tiffani". Thank you for being such a great friend & still wanting to be my friend when I never chat. I would really really love to talk, this weekend?

I love that food is a bridge for our friendship. I also love that you are still being a great wife even though you are extremely busy with your career.

Latest possible plan of action for me is moving back to Provo for grad school & to be closer to you of course!

Talk to you very soon.
