Since No One Else is Posting, I'll Bore you With Details About My Life

In the last year, the biggest lesson we have learned is that you can't plan anything too far in advance. You can plan and plan and plan, but things still might change. Today, our plan for the next couple years changed.

I got a call from my advisor informing me that I would have to take 3 more classes in order to be considered for the Secondary Teaching program. They are classes that I had already took at BYU, but the committee wanted me to take the UVU equivalents of those classes. So, instead of starting my student teaching next September, I wouldn't be able to start until January '10.

Since Keith is now graduating in August instead of December, it puts us in an awkward position if I want to finish the credential program. He would either have to extend his graduation even more, or he would have to work here in Utah for a few months, or more if I can't get permission to student teach in another state.

So far, we've decided that I will finish this semester up, and concurrently look for a full-time job. If I ever have a burning desire to become a teacher I can always go back to school wherever Keith gets a job. It's kind of a bummer since I feel sometimes like I don't pull my weight around here, but hopefully I'll find a job soon.

P.S. My camera is broken! SAD! So pictures will come once we mail the camera to Fry's in Texas where we bought it, they fix it, and send it back. That could be awhile....hopefully it's before Thanksgiving!!!
