How a typical day goes as a teacher....

My day as a teacher goes something like this.
Mrs. McGarry can I get a drink?, Mrs. McGarry what are we doing today?, Mrs. McGarry how to you spell grandma?, Mrs. McGarry can I go to the bathroom?, Mrs. McGarry I can't find my paper, Mrs. McGarry I don't have any glue, Mrs. McGarry can I get a drink?, Mrs. McGarry what are we going next?, Mrs. McGarry my dogs name is Snoop, Mrs. McGarry I have an brother name Beau, Mrs. McGarry can I get a drink?, Mrs. McGarry where what do I do next?. Mrs. McGarry can I go to the bathroom?, Mrs. McGarry, Mrs. McGarry, Mrs. McGarry....
You might think I am joking, but I am not. And I spared you a lot of it, that was only the first 15 minutes. Haha! I hear my name a 1,000+ times a day But do you know what? I love my job! I can't imagine doing anything else. I am sad that school ends in three days. Here is one small example of why I love teaching. There is something constantly happening that reminds me why I chose this as my career. So, ,y second graders were guessing how old I was today. Everybody was shouting out different numbers. All of a sudden one boy stands up, very excited, and shouts, "I know, you are 39!" I know he is just an 8 year old, but come on 39? I doubt his mom is even 39. I don't know if I should be offended or not. Then when they found out I was only 21, the same boy says to me, "So you got married last year?" I replied saying, "No I have actually been married for 2 1/2 years. He said, "Oh, I thought you had to be 20 when you got married." Haha I love my job! These kids are so innocent. There isn't a day that doesn't go by where I am not laughing out loud at something these kids say. I could go on all day about some of the they say. Now I just need a job in Idaho! It is a little early still, but I should be hearing soon! I am sick of waiting I just want to start planning and making cute things for my classroom!

Graduation

Graduation was awesome!
Everybody keeps asking me how it feels, and really it doesn't feel too different.
I think that when everybody is going back to school in the fall and I am not, it will be weird and when I have a real job it will be really weird!
One things is for sure, I am so excited to be done jumping through hoops, doing pointless assignments, and sitting in boring classes.
I really am going to miss the friends that I have made and the social part of it! You know me, I love to talk! Not much has changed I am still getting in trouble for talking. I was the type of student that I hate to have, I am always talking when the teaching is talking! Some things just never change.

Graduating was a big accomplishment for me.
I am the first person in my family to graduate college,
the first of my friends to get a bachelor's degree,
I graduated with honors,
I was one of the youngest students who graduated in the education department (I did it in four years!)

I am excited I stuck through it and followed my dreams!

I got very spoiled for graduating! Neal surprised me Thursday night with a new camera. I have been wanting a new one for awhile now. And he gave it to me early so I could use it for graduation!
I got a new bedroom set that I love! (picture to come later)
And we are going on a vacation, it was supposed to be for graduation, but since I am subbing we had to wait until May 30th, so that will be for our birthdays instead!

My parents threw me a nice party with lots of yummy food. My friends and family all came!
I only took a few pictures, I think my mom took more they I will need to get!

My friend Melissa and Tyler came too! I wish I would have got a picture with them before they left!

My cousin brought over some ghost pepper hot wings and Neal tried one. Here he is dying, drinking milk, trying to stop the burning. I put a tiny bit on my finger and almost died. It was so hot. I don't know how you would take a bite of it.

College Years..

Well it's a official, I am graduated from college and done with school forever! I loved college, I loved learning, and I loved life as a student. I don't know if I am ready to go into the real world and start working an 8-4 job, 5 days a week. I liked coming home between classes and taking a nap and only working 3 hours a day. I can't believe I have been graduated from high school for 4 years! A lot has happened in those 4 years.

High School Graduation-2007
Freshman Year 2007-2008
I went to Utah State my freshman year and loved it!

My roommates of Merrill Hall.

My favorite part of Utah State were the basketball games!

Spring Break 2008-St. George and Las Vegas

Our first date!

Friends!

Our second home in Logan...the library. Me and Mel study the night before finals.

Neal and I started dating after spring break and we dated all summer. I had to choose if I was going to go back up to Utah State or transfer to Weber. It was a hard decision, but I wanted to be closer to Neal, so I moved to Ogden after we got engaged.
