Miss Lund's 3rd Grade Class





For about the last three months I have been teaching in a third grade class in Spanish Fork. The school is Spanish Oaks Elementary. I loved it!!! I'm definitely the best teacher there ever was ;) Nah just joshin ya, but I must admit the kids really did love me. The students were constantly telling me how much they liked me and how nice I was. I got plenty of notes and pictures. On Halloween, one of the students even made me a bag with candy in it. Saying goodbye was rather tough and there were tears shed. One of the students, that is sort of a misfit, was in tears over it and that is when the tears came flowing for me. I love that I could make a difference for those children. They definitely made a difference in my life. I'm glad to have found that I do love teaching and that I am good at it. What a relief. I will miss this class, but I don't have much time to wallow because I'm off to Kindergarten on January 7th.

Miss Fixer up





Some people were complaining (my mom and Melissa) that they couldn't click on the pictures of the ball so here they are again. I also thought I would show you the gang I hang out with at school. They are Mika and Carole

It was a ball




On December 14 (Happy Birthday Ashley), I was escorted to the BYU ROTC's military ball. The young gentleman that escorted me was Ryan West. It was kind of dramatic trying to find the right dress, but of course I look smashing in just about anything. I ended up wearing Noelle's lacey dress - thanks Noelle. Ryan came and picked me up and he came to a house full of people - my grandma, cousin, room mates, room mate's study group. Poor guy. It was held at the new Hinckley Alumni Bldg, so gorgeous. There was a speaker, awards - of which Ryan got many, dinner, and a comedian. Needless to say, I had a blast. After the ball, Ryan took me home and then we decided to go see a movie. The movie was sold out and so we just kicked it at his apartment and watched the Labrynth. I fell asleep. It was a great night.
