Where I've Been...

Arizona...at least for the last sixteen years! I graduated with my associates degree from Mesa Community College in 2003. I moved out on my own and began working as a home and community based service provider for children with disabilities (basically I was/am a nanny for some of the cutest kids on the planet!) Most recently (May 2008) I graduated from Northern Arizona University with my B.S. in Elementary Education. (Go Lumberjacks!)

Where I am now...

Still in Mesa, AZ. I can honestly say that I have found my passion! I love teaching whether it is life skills or academics there is so much we can all learn! I am still working with children with disabilities and cherish the lessons they teach me everyday. I am the self proclaimed FAVORITE Aunt Tiffy to three adorable nephews...just ask them!

Where I am going...

5th Grade at Zaharis Elementary!! I start my new teacher training on July 29 and school starts August 11! We will see where life takes me! It will be a fabulous ride for sure!

Keeping busy with school, work, and being the relief society president, I find time every now and then to have a little fun. This picture was taken at my Ward Christmas Party last weekend. This was a great way to end a rough week that included what I hope to be my last college all-night studying and homework session. My goal is to post many more pictures of me having fun in the up coming weeks. Thank goodness for great friends that help pull me through! Let's play again soon girls!

Foot Update



Here are a few pictures of my foot that were taken about a week after the fall. The update is that I fell on Oct. 20, 2007 and I am still wearing a boot, which makes for some really interesting walking around in the rainy weather! LOL! The bruising is gone but the swelling just keeps hanging around. I don't complain about the boot because it is so much better than crutches. However, I did have one of the kids I watch very kindly remind me, "You are missing out on wearing all those cute shoes with that thing on." All I could do was agree!
