An update is here!!!

Wowsers time flies by so fast!!! It doesn't help when you work full time and go to school during the summer. Yep, that's what I'm doing this summer! Joy! I have, including this semester, 9 classes left before I can start the last two semesters of student teaching, and then graduation! If all goes well, then I will start that last school year in Fall of 2010, and graduate in Spring 2011. I jammed my summer with three classes (10 credit hours) because I want a free summer next year, to do whatever I want before I start my final year.
One of the classes that I took was about a week and a half ago, and the entire class was given in one week. I was in class from 8:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. for an entire week. I took the week off of work, and just focused on school. It was EXHAUSTING, but 3 credits worth of a class is now behind me! The teacher was amazing, and the people in my class were awesome, so it was worth it for me! I can't guarantee that everyone's teacher would be that good though! :)

So now I have a Special Education class two nights a week, and my Math class, also two nights a week, with about 6 weeks of school left for the summer...then a two week break...then Fall semester begins. School is now my middle name!

I have a few pictures I want to post. The first set are from Memorial Day weekend. This is a BIG holiday at the Searle home, and has been since the day I was born, and is one of my favorites! On Saturday, my parents, siblings, and Grandma Lever drive up to Kaysville to the cemetery where my Grandpa Lever is buried. Sunday we go to the cemetery where my dad's older sister, (who died at a young age) my Grandpa Searle, and now Grandma Searle, along with other relatives are buried. On Memorial Day, my family takes a long trip down to Delta, Utah. My Grandma and Grandpa Searle are both from Delta, so they each have family that is buried down there. Another of my dad's sisters is buried there, Great Granparents, Great Great Grandparents etc. Before my Grandpa Searle died we used to get a lot of my extended family to go, but as the years went on the numbers dwindled, until it was just my immediate family that would go. I honesly don't think I've ever spent Memorial Day in any place other than Delta. My dad is great at keeping up with this tradition, and Jami and I don't let him forget about it either. I love going! So here are some pictures from our Memorial Day weekend:

These are from Grandpa Lever's cemetery.

Cheeseballs...both of them!

Yes I am holding two four year olds. Why? Because if one gets something, then the other has to get it as well, so of course, Aunt Kelli complies, even though it is extremely difficult to hold them both!!

Now we're on to Delta. This is Jami and I in my cute car.

Notice my dad's patriotic shirt!

The next pictures are from a night that Cara, Jenny, and I were a little bored. Have you ever been bored with a camera? Well we went picture crazy!!! It was hard, because is was really dark when we were taking the pictures, so we'd take a picture, look at it, and then see that at least one of us had our eyes closed, so we'd have to take it again. This process repeated itself multiple times. Then Cara wisely asked, "What did we do before the world of digital camera's?" to which I replied, "Had bad pictures!" :) Anyway so here are a couple of our goofy shots:


This is Kelliangelo and Jenatello.

Jenny and I again. We jumped off the porch.

I really like this picture of Cara and Jenny modeling for Vogue!
