yes, I'm alive

Greetings from my neck of the woods. I've delayed putting up a new post for some odd reason...not really sure there is a reason, other than I didn't feel like sitting in front of a computer. But alass (or however you spell it), I'm back in school and back to the hustle and bustle of life.

The Christmas break vacation was lovely. Truely lovely. I got to spend a lot of time in Arizona with loved ones. It was well worth the 13 hour ALL night drive in snowy and icey conditions. Don't worry- I didn't drive- I just kept Trace awake with my loud snoring. Besides, he sleeps better when he drives. Long story short, we made it there safe and sound and in time for all the Christmas celebrations.
I would go into major detail about the Christmas loot and fun and all that- but I'm not going too. Just know that it was really good, we have wonderful families that love us very much, and Christ is the reason for the season.
(see my mom's blog for pictures...I forgot my camera, which seems to be a reaccuring problem.)
Then Trace, Brody, and I got to spend a LOT of time together. Probably the most time we've got to spend together in 3 years. We had a blast. We slept in, cooked breakfast, played with new toys, cleaned our house, reorganized here and there, and did plenty of relaxing. Let me tell you- it was so wonderful not to have to think about what was due, or what I needed to do at work, or who would watch Brody, or when I would have time to do this or that. It was fantastic.
Now I am doing my student teaching at Provo High. Go Bulldogs. It should be pretty exciting and keep me VERY busy. I am enjoying it so far. I get home at 3 everyday- which is SO nice. I actually get to see Trace for 2 hours everyday!! I have to teach for 65 school days...and then I GRADUATE. I can see the light. It is so close- yet so far away. I'm sure it will go by fast because I have to teach 4 different classes.
1. Fitness for Life (part lecture, part in the gym)
2. Weight Training
3. Freshman Girls PE
4. Racquetball, Tennis, & Bowling....which I am very excited to show off my amazing Sho Lo Bowling skills!
Alright- that is the update. I plan on posting pictures of the Brodster and Co. soon. He still has red hair, is completely potty trained, and says the funniest things everyday. I also think he is going to be a stripper or a breakdancer. (hopefully that later....that boy has got some moves!)
Love to all! Happy New Year to all. I hope all your wildest dreams come true this year.

I'm glad to see a new post. I know you're super busy again but sounds like this semester won't be the killer the last one was. Good luck. I know you'll do a terrific job with your student teaching.

You are superwoman Taralee. School, teaching and being a mommy. I don't know how you do it. I'm proud of myself if I take a shower.

Glad you got some much needed R & R! Hopefully you are re-energized for the last stretch of school. How exciting. It WILL go by really fast and will end before you know it. I am so jealous you get to teach those subjects! How fun!
Good luck with everything.

Good day, sun shines!
There have were times of troubles when I didn't know about opportunities of getting high yields on investments. I was a dump and downright stupid person.
I have never imagined that there weren't any need in large initial investment.
Nowadays, I'm happy and lucky , I begin take up real income.
It's all about how to choose a correct companion who uses your funds in a right way - that is incorporate it in real business, parts and divides the profit with me.

You may get interested, if there are such firms? I'm obliged to tell the truth, YES, there are. Please get to know about one of them:

Hi!
You may probably be very curious to know how one can make real money on investments.
There is no initial capital needed.
You may commense to get income with a sum that usually is spent
for daily food, that's 20-100 dollars.
I have been participating in one company's work for several years,
and I'm ready to let you know my secrets at my blog.

Please visit blog and send me private message to get the info.

P.S. I make 1000-2000 per day now.
