I have finished my first semester of the Elementary Education program at Dixie State College and can I say I am extremely happy about my achievement. I have successfully managed to receive my highest GPA ever- a 3.85. This semester was a little bit stressful but not as stressful as previous semesters. There are several things that I learned that I would like to implement in future semesters, such as: don’t procrastinate, take my time, and don’t stress too much. I only have three semesters, a year and a half, until I graduate with my Bachelors and can finally start teaching.

So we have decided to do the elf on the shelf this year and my son LOVES it. He is so excited to see what our elf, Rocker, has done. Here are some pictures of what he has done this year. Are you doing this? What is your elf’s name and what have they done? 

A lot of stuff has changed since I last wrote anything. I worked at Quiznos for about 8 months until corporate decided to close down their corporate stores. It was a blessing in disguise. I was working a lot of hours and spent little time with my family. Due to Quiznos closing I was able to start school. I have just finished my Associates Degree and will start my Bachelors program in a matter of month. I am attending school to obtain a degree in Elementary Education.

JJ is now four years old and is very rambunctious. He was recently diagnosed with extreme ADHD and moderate ODD.  He loves all things that are boy such as monster trucks, cars, dirt, and superhero’s.  

 Jason is working still working at an automotive repair shop and has recently started riding a bike and absolutely loves it.

Other than that not much else has happened. I will try to keep up with this but I am really bad at remembering to do this.
