Close Friends

Here is Derek (and Christina sneaking in the picture!) at Liberty's. He is always up for dancing with anyone around!
Here's Johnny! He's a one of a kind. He has an adorable Husky named Sammy. She is a sweet thing. He loves to give me a hard time about BYU just to make me mad!

This is Chris. I've known him for over 2 years and we're still very close!
Here is Lindsay and me at Daytona Speedway during Spring Break last year!
Sarah Harmon and me in Tennessee last year for a "ski" trip. I think they only had 2 runs and it was all man made snow. It was fun to see snow for a bit though. She teaches Kindergarten at my school. She is my closest friend out here. She keeps me sane at school and helps me through those rough days. I don't know what I would do without her!
Sarah (Krissie's cousin) and me after a wedding a few weeks ago. We don't see each other as often as we should, but we are still close family!

Yes...That's a Motorized COOLER!

Tailgating in Columbia...they know how to have a good time out here!

Football Season is HERE!

It's been a long time coming, but football season is finally here! They definitely know how to tailgate around here. People usually start setting up around 10am for a 8pm game! It's an experience just to go walk around and watch people. Go Utes and Gamecocks!

School is Back in Session!

Here is a picture of some of my students on the first day of school. They really are a great bunch! They work hard and are much farther ahead than most incoming first graders are. We have a lot of fun and work and play hard! It's going to be a great year!

The Scenery

Here is a picture of my backyard!!! It is beautiful. I watched a little family of gosslings grow up last year. I've usually have turtles, ducks and geese, frogs and little lizards around. It's a regular zoo back there! There is even fish in the pond. I won't be swimming it the pond knowing that!

Home, Sweet, Home

Here is a picture of my house here in South Carolina. I bought it last August and have really enjoyed living in it. It's perfect for me! I do all the yardwork myself and while I thought I wouldn't like it, I've actually enjoyed doing it. EXCEPT when it's 90 degrees and 99% humidity at 8pm!
