Well it has finally happened. We started a blog. Now everyone can be filled in on the wonderful happenings of our new family. Things have been going so fast for us lately. Deidra started he internship at Spanish Oaks Elementary and today is the first day of class! She is going to have 26 new 4th graders coming in today. Actually, it is happening as I write this post. That is really exciting and has also been nerve-racking for Deidra. But she has been working like crazy to get everything ready for this day. She had a lot of the kids in yesterday with their parents on back-to-school day and the kids are excited. She has a really cool outer space theme (which I had a little part in coming up with and which I feel a bit proud of) and every time I went in to help her the class looked more and more like I remember 4th grade. I think that it is funny that she is teaching 4th grade because I still remember 4th grade being one of my favorite years and Mrs. Woods being still one of my favorite teachers.I am doing well also. I have been working at BYU Broadcasting for a year now and I have been moved up to a student manager. What that basically means is that I am an assistant to a supervisor and I help make schedules and track workflows along with my normal duties. I have been working as an editor for a show called Living Essentials from BYU. Don't worry. You don't have to look it up. It is a sort of provident living/social issues talk show. I was put on it earlier because they needed somebody to be the head editor and I had more free time at work before I was promoted. Now I am a lot more busy and I will be training a new editor to take my place. That way I can work more on my student managing. I know, it sounds like the most amazing job and that I am such a cool person, but really it isn't all that glamorous. But I have really liked working here and it is a fulfillment of a high school dream to really be working in television. I am going back to school and starting my major in less than two weeks and I am really excited. I am in the Communication Studies major.
We feel really blessed right now. Things are crazy and difficult sometimes, but everything has been going really well for us. Hopefully, at the request of my sister, I will be able to get some good wedding pictures posted up here and share that with you.
