Thanksgiving


Thanksgiving was a wonderful one this year. I went to Francis Utah (by Park City) and spent the holiday with Dustin's family. It was the first time I had been with another family for a holiday since my mission. The food was great, the shopping the next day was great, and settler's...... well..... :)

My Class Worships Me. :)



We have disasters every day in class. They always have something to do with the history of the country that we are learning about. We had a disaster the other day involving a dictator (me) and the group had to pay a bunch of money to keep their people from being exiled. Well... when I came to class the next day I threatened to do the same thing to them, and the whole group (unprompted) got up and started bowing. I thought it was hilarious.!!!!

Husband Tag

I'm so glad that this has been going around, because that is exactly what I am trying to do: Tag a Husband. So I would appreciate it if everyone would look at this list and let me know when you see him.
What is your husband's name? (Yet to be determined- I'm not picky though. Just no more than 4 syllables.)
How long have you been married? (Well now that one is just obvious)
How long did you date? At least 17 dates, because that is at least how long it will be before we kiss. (You may need to inform him of this first.)
How old is he? (Somewhere between 22-35)
Who eats more sweets? If he doesn't our kids are going to hate us.
Who said "I love you" first? (I'm sure he will)
Who is taller? Again, we all better hope he is. If he's shorter than I am...... let's just say our kids will never live it down.
Who is a better singer? He can be better as long as he tells me I am. :)
Who is smarter? He is, ...... but not intimidating.
Who does the laundry? I will
Who sleeps on the right side of the bed? He will. ( I like the left.)
Does he snore? (This one is negotiable.)
What does he do in his spared time?
Who mows the lawn? We can switch off (I like to mow the lawn)
Who cooks dinner? OH, I'll cook, but he might get sick of my experiments so he might want to have a couple of meals he puts together himself.
Who drives? We both do. He may have to drive at night though, I get tired and really shouldn't drive at that point.
Who is the first to say they are wrong? I hope I am.
Who kissed who first? If it's going to happen, he'll have to do it first. I can hold out for a long time.
Who asked who out first? He'll have to do that one too.
Who wears the pants? I hope he does. I really want to be able to look up to my husband in that role. I would like for him to be the head of our household and I want to do everything I can to support him.
Does he say he love you every day? Absolutely!

Visiting Peru- I hope the real thing isn't as complicated

The trip: Every student in my classroom has a job. We have everything from a bus driver to a garbage man. There is a president and a banker and everything in between so that they can run the classroom and I can sit back and watch as much as possible.
At the end of every term they apply for a "passport" and depending on their job they are given a first class or coach plane ticket. We then set up the classroom to resemble the country we are learning about, and they go around to different stations and
have conversations in Spanish. Every now and then we have gangsters or Secret Service or counterfeit money etc. The last time we did this was Halloween. I figured the kids would be messing around anyway, might as well give them something productive to do.
Here are some of them enjoying the country:
