Good week

Things are going pretty well. My dad sent me a text a few weeks ago telling me to believe in the law of averages--things even out. For every bad thing that happens, something good will happen.
We had a chance to visit Jake's grandparents this last Sunday when we were in Hagerman and she had a post it on her fridge in her neat cursive that said,  "If it isn't a happy ending, maybe the story isn't over."


I've been thinking about those two sayings a lot. Don't I just have the best family? Sometimes I have tough days, sometimes I have wonderful days.
 Here are some big and little things in my life that make me happy:

--I had a chance to reconnect to one of my best friends from college recently. It was so great to see Suzi, Ty and their baby girl.
--Jake and I recently received a refund check from the hospital because they overcharged! We went and spent it on a new furniture set. It may be a bit big for our living, but it is ridiculous fun to sit on a brand new couch (not from D.I.)
--My sister Tara got her mission call to Brazil. She leaves in June. I'm glad I get to keep her for a few more months. We are going through the temple with her on Saturday.
--I have the cutest students. If I am stressed from paperwork, mean people, or amount of organizing I still have to do, I just go and sit with one of them and play with them. Its amazing how wonderful they can make you feel! I love them SO much. It is the best.
--We decided to clean our house out and finally unpack the last of the boxes. We have a VERY clean guest room and bathroom. That means visitors are welcome any time!!
--I am still madly in love with Netflix.
--It is starting to get warmer. Today they said it was going to snow, but all it did was rain a little.
--I found a leopard print snuggie on clearance for 4 dollars. It has pockets!
--Jake's sister Jodi is having a girl in June. her name is Gracie and I can't wait to see her. 


Here a just a few things are make me a little stressed:
--Jake's doctor told him to try going low carb for a while. I said I would do it with him. bummer.
--I am still working close to 60 hours a week(sometimes more). Sometimes I leave while it is dark and don't come home til it's dark.
--I don't think Steven Tyler is doing a good job as a judge for Idol.
--Tara is leaving me!
--Its cold in Idaho.
-- State testing. Boo.
--Being the boss of 11 adults older than me. It is hard to come in young and not as experienced and to take control of people who don't want to do all that you ask.

I would post a picture of my new furniture but its on my Ipod and Jake is playing angry birds.
