I have learned a lot this semester and one of them is that I get busy when I'm at school. Like so insanely busy with awesome things that I have to update my blog when school is over.
Hence this post actually being written during normal hours of the day instead of the wee small ones.
How about a recap on the year thus far? How about a list of my advice? How about a list of both?
Boys will flock to homemade food. Fact.
You can always push yourself harder than you thought even though you forget the safe word and your friends won't let you come down off of the cliff. When you can't hold on anymore then you pull.
That last recap was about rock climbing, but I bet you applied it to something else.
The temple is AWAYS my haven. And it can be yours too.
Pzookies are best after midnight. Also, with lots of chocolate chips and marshmallows on them.
A boy making the duck face never gets old.
Tandem bikes are a great analogy for marriage.
Teaching 6th grade math is fun- especially when you have the class that I had.
I can now tell you 5 sentences about chemistry, physics, geology, astronomy, and biology. But do not ask me to go in depth about any of it!
Sometimes to get a free shake you have to carry someone through a building and down an elevator.
I want a pet cockroach now. They'd be so simple to care for!
Haiku's and poetry should be written on any writable surface.
Wearing a onesie and walking across town to get a shake for a dollar is also acceptable.
Study. Because when you take a state test you reap the benefits. Big time!
Pick up new hobbies. All the time. Never thought I'd be a climber, but now I'm hooked!
Bonfires are fun, but can be made more fun with peeps, jeeps, and temporary insanity.
Go to General Conference at least once in your life!
There are 8 phases of the moon and I can draw them out for you.
No matter what you think, the internet is always going to be faster at home than that secret place in the Clark, Hinkley, Smith, or even the Benson.
The Teton pass is EXTREMELY SCARY this time of year!
Brigham Claus is my new favorite mythical creature.
Longboarding is when I am the most myself.
If you can make it from scratch...what on earth are you doing buying it premade?!
Don't break certain boundaries unless you're willing to have a conversation about it.
I am not cynical enough to be a hipster. And proud of it.
You know you're studying El Ed when you find the shwa in a really long word. Without having to argue about dialect and blah blah blah.
The best compliment you can get as El Ed is "You have excellent classroom management skills.
Homemade salsa makes the world go round. No literally, if Dani and I stopped making salsa the world would have stopped spinning on its axis. And you would all go flying because of inertia.
You know you are going to be a teacher when you manage your with a group of friends and you manage them like you do the 6th graders you work with.
The temple is home.
Waking up to your dog nuzzling you is one of the top ten things that make me smile.

Discovering your talents is a blessing. Refining them is a reward to yourself and others.
You can have as many best friends as you want.
I'm sure there is more to tell you all (the four of you who read this), but I also know there is a time and a season for every story. This is not the time, nor the season because I have to get ready for church. :)
Love you.
