I can't believe that it's another Thanksgiving! I'm spending it in Tucson with Mom, Dad, Matt, Katie and Jayden. Poor Jayden had some shots on Wednesday and is not feeling well. At times he's fine and will be chasing Sophie (my parent's Bichon Frise); other times he just wants to be on his Mom's lap.
I am very thankful this year for my family for thier prayers and support of all my different adventures. I'm thankful for my students because they give me different adventures/challenges everyday. I'm thankful for my ward and all the friends and support they have given me this year. I'm also thankful for a loving Heavenly Father who knows me and helps me everyday.
HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!

New Week, New Job, New Haircut
Things have been pretty good this week. I went back to school after fall break. I felt like I taught a full week and it was only Monday afternoon.
I finally was approved to tutor afterschool at PDSD. This is a great blessing because I'll be working twice the hours and making twice the hourly rate than I currently have at Sylvan. Without a roommate, these past couple of weeks have been very difficult financially. Thanks for everyone for your thoughts and prayers.
I also decided to get a new haircut. Unfortunately, the pictures don't do it justice. :) I decided that I was tired of just putting my hair back in a ponytail or in a headband. So I whacked off about 3-4 inches. It feels much better. Here's some pictures that I tried to take. Kind of hard to do self portraits.

Fall Break!!!
I'm currently in Tucson, enjoying my first full day of Fall Break. I am ready for this break! It's been a long few weeks. It's nice to be able to relax for a few days.
I guess it's time for another update.
Work
Pick a job - any job!!! I'm in the process of working at 4 different jobs/job titles so my needs are met. 3 are with PDSD: my main teaching, ASL teaching (on Thurs. nights), and after school tutoring (Tues. - Thurs.). My 4th job is with Sylvan (Mon. nights and Sat. mornings). With the current economy, my hours at Sylvan have been cut back. This time last year, I would work around 15 hours a week. Since June, I've been averaging 4-5 hours a week. So, I applied for the two other jobs to help make up the difference. I'm hopeful that things will work out for the best. :)
Church
We're currently working on our Primary program. We'll be performing it at the end of this month. I really enjoy working in Primary. The kids are so fun to watch and have the greatest answers to everything. Two weeks ago, we had a little girl say the closing prayer. She asked that we would "be able to change from our church clothes into our pajamas and relax the rest of the day." I've never heard someone pray for us to specifically relax. Ah, the mouth of babes.
Other
I'm not sure what to call this part. Personally, I'm just glad to be on break. I'm planning on staying here in Tucson with Mom and Dad for a few days, then spend the rest of the week cleaning my condo. My roommate moved out and left things less than clean. So, I have a bit of work to do.
Hope things are well with everyone. More to come later.........
