today was rough. i'm actually really annoyed, because i was having an actually okay day until about 3:40 ish... up until then i had gone to class (which wasn't horrible for once), gotten some hw done (also not horrible, thanks Haley), and watched some jersey shore. this is a great day for me people... then of course, the FREAKING universe had to swoop in right when it saw me happy and ruin it. ugh. i hate the universe. i hate even more than something so freaking stupid and unimportant can seriously affect my entire day. the day got better. work is actually cheering me up now. you know your bored with your life if work is the highlight. f. anyway. now that i got all that lame complaining out i am moving on to bigger and better things...

THOMAS WORKS AT U-SWIRL NOW!!!! :) Answer me this... What's better than working with your best friend?!!!! here, i'll tell you... NOTHING! I am so excited for him! unfortunately, however, we aren't actually working together. he is working at the draper location while i am stuck at sandy. it's a total double edged sword... i love sandy. it's my store. like i really love it. annnnd we are getting ALL NEW MACHINES! yes, you heard me. all new machines. i've honestly never been so exited about anything having to do with my job :) also, sandy is much smaller than draper so i get to worry about helping customers more than keeping a HUMONGOUS store like draper clean. BUT draper has all my favorite people (thomas, chels, and dan) and its gonna be cuhraaaaazy busy all the time (so fun) and its closer to mi casa. so i don't quite know how i feel about all this, but i do know i am so excited to continue working for U-Swirl. i seriously love it. i don't even mind the work. i love it. i am so happy that i love it too! cheers to being "Team Lead" at Sandy U-Swirl. COME VISIT ME!

i learned more

in ten minutes than i have in all 4 weeks of school this semester. this amazing mom came in and spoke to my PE class yesterday and gave us some 7 seriously awesome tips for working with special needs students in our future...

1. Be overly kind and empathetic

2. Communicate with the parents (share how their day was because they won't)

3. Peer tutors (they make life long friendships)

4. Find something nice to say (be positive!)

5. Learn to celebrate the tiniest accomplishments

6. Find the humor (best part about teaching right!?)

7. Don't give up!

miss this girl!

Lyndsee Brice is the best teacher EVER and she makes me actually excited about teaching, which is quite a stretch lately... check out all her wisdom and fantastic-ness about teaching HERE !

we can stay this way forever

Because we're never gonna be as young as we are tonight

We'll let the world know we're alive

We're here to chase the flashing lights

Just wait and see

And there's no need to complicate it

This will be our year to take it

We're never gonna be as young as we are tonight

The Summer Set

Young

i will never forget

Today was a day full of chills, tearing up, and remembering ten years ago. I was in 6th grade, 11 years old, and didn't know really what any of it meant or should feel like. Now that I am 21 I look back on that horrible day seeing pictures, videos, and memories reminding me of what terrible people and tragedy we have in this world... And then among it all I remember those men and women that did amazing things that day. The selfless, caring, heroic acts that all happened that day reminds me how grateful I am to be living in the United States. It's days like today when the country is so unified because we remember. Politics, media, economic struggles... None of it matters today because we remember. We will never forget the lives that were lost and the lives that were changed. I will never forget about the children who lost parents or the parents who lost children. I will never forget about the sacrifices that were made. I will never forget the sadness. Especially the sadness that lives on. The sadness and heart break I feel when I see pictures of that day and the memorials of today and more to come. I love my country. I love the unity we will always have on this day forever. Because we will never forget. I will never forget.

God Bless America

see ya, frogurt!

Wellp, I have a new employer! :) I am now apart of the U-Swirl team! Check them out here! I am seriously excited about this change! I have worked for Frogurt since May of 2009 and it's been a fun job, but it's the perfect time for a change! I have met my new GM (General Manager, I know we have legit cooperate names now!) and she seems really great! She is always so excited about U-Swirl and always excited about the new stores, which then of course makes me excited! I think this will be an awesome change and fun, new place for froyo! Make sure you come visit! We will have a Sandy location opening on Saturday and our Draper location will be closing and remodeled and open back up in a few weeks. We will also have a location opening hopefully before Halloween in American Fork! Yep, we're comin' to you Utah County! Anyway, I am excited and nervous about the new job. Cause even though I didn't have to start a completely new place it is basically a new job... Lots of different procedures and requirements, but a lot of things are simplified too. It's going to be a good new experience! U-Swirl HERE I COME!!!
