Yeah, yeah, yeah, I just want to surprise everyone. See, you never know when I will actually post something so you just have to keep checking. Sometimes I'll post often and frequently and other times...well, let's not get into that shall we. I think it's safe to say for everyone involved here that they come as they come eh.
I'm pretty sure that the last little post I put on here was my about my trip to Oregon back in August and it was great time. Well a lot has happened since then. You know, I went back to school and did my whole student teaching (which was quite a crazy experience) thing, graduated and then started to do the real world thing and started looking for a job. I don't know about the rest of you but I for one have to say that looking for a job is one of the most boring things that one can do. How many times can you write about how awesome you are before even you get tired of how arrogant you sound? I mean, I LOVE myself but at the end of writing all those resumes and completing applications even I wanted to punch myself in the face. Thankfully I didn't follow through with that thought. But enough about me. Suffice it to say I got a job at a charter school and I start in the fall teaching 4th grade. I'm pretty stoked about it because I dig the that grade. I seem to recall enjoying that grade and the teacher I had. Ah, Mrs. Realt, thanks for having my back when I unexpectedly farted really loud while you were teaching. That may have been one of the reasons why I decided to get into education. In any case let's show you pictures of our awesome little man and tell you what's been going on.
Since it'll take me too long to post EVERYTHING that we have photographed since August I'm just going to post some stuff from Easter etc. A couple of the pictures will be of Elliott and a good friend of his doing the Easter Egg hunt. Now a little back story to this. Apparently this little "excursion" was hosted by the Elder's quorum and they told us they had 600 eggs laying around and that we should only pick about 10 because of the amount of kids that were there. Ok, fair enough, being me I surprisingly decided to follow the rules and make sure Elliott picked the allotted amount. So we take off and very quickly find 10 eggs ( I kinda helped). Well as I'm walking with Elliott I notice that all these other kids running around stuffing their baskets with as many eggs as they possibly can! I wanted to say "Hold up you little s**&! put em back! I'm following the rules here and denying my kid the awesomeness of more colorful plastic eggs surely you can learn about sacrifice and allow all the other kids to get their fair share." Apparently the irony of Easter and sacrifice was lost on them. (sigh) I expected more from primary kids...So I decided to rectify the situation by stealing eggs from random baskets and putting them in his basket. Problem solved and the other kids learned a valuable lesson. I don't know what that lesson would be but I let them figure it out.
Ok, part of that story isn't entirely true. I didn't take eggs from other kids baskets, but I thought about.
