Doug's 18th Birthday

We had a party for Marcus's youngest brother, Doug! He turned 18 on the 21st, but we had an early surprise party for him. It was lots of fun partying with the Jankowski family!

Temple Trip

Marcus and I took a temple bus to the Oakland Temple at the end of April. We had a very enjoyable time. I forgot to take a picture of the temple when we were outside, so I had to take it inside the bus. It was a rainy evening...

Summer In Modesto

As some of you know, Marcus and I have moved to Modesto for the summer and we are living with Grandpa and Grandma Harrison. We're really enjoying it here. Marcus is taking care of his grandparents at his parents home just 2 minutes away. Since it is in home care, Marcus gets paid for it by the government. He is really enjoying that. I have found a job and will be working in a Farmers Insurance office for one of the men in our ward here.

Other than working, I've been successful in teaching Marcus how to play the piano! He's actually got the hang of it real quick! We've also been playing tennis just about every day for a couple of hours in the evening. That keeps us in shape. I'm reading some books and we're also watching the NBA playoffs just about every night too. We're staying busy!

(I have also just updated my blog. This last semester was crazy!)

Teacher, Teacher!!!

This last semester I took a senior practicum class where I went to an elementary school and taught in a fifth grade classroom for two full school days each week. I really learned how to teach much better and I got to know the kids really well. I taught a science unit about planets and space and that was lots of fun! When I left at the end of the semester one of the girls in the class made me this desk out of a shoe box! It was so cute and creative... of course, because of the move I had to throw it away, but not without taking a picture :)

Winter 2009 Semester

Jon was in Rexburg, Idaho with us for his first semester at BYU-Idaho! We had him over several times and enjoyed his company. Marcus took these pictures when we were watching Sunday afternoon conference at our apartment.

Stormy Rexburg

This is just a picture that I took right outside our apartment window in Rexburg, Idaho. This was a crazy storm. Marcus and I stared out the window watching the thunder storm for at least an hour that day!
