Falling in love with Fall

For the last 3 weeks (and for two more weeks) Robert has been living here......
And practicing internal medicine here........


So I went to visit him and take in the CT leaves! It is always a breath of fresh air to be in suburban life... real life! Here are some pics from our weekend:

Yale's Campus in New Haven, CT

Connecticut's shore
Driving in the car (very exciting for somebody that doesn't have a car!)

Best Halloween Ever!

one of the .... BEST Halloweens Ever!

I fell in love with my class all over again when I saw them in their adorable costumes.

"There is no place like ..... school! There is no place like school!"

M.J. was one of my favorite costumes... his wig was killin' me! I thought he looked more like Willie Wonka, his mom said he looked like Reverend Al Sharpton!

Robert's favorite...

He even had a few tricks up his sleeves :)

Good times... but exhausting!

Our trip to the Met!

Just an F.Y.I. if you take a group of 3rd graders to The Met don't walk into a room full of naked Roman sculptures.... they will be traumatized! SO FUNNY!!

There has been a trend through our marriage..... CHANGE! Just when we get comfortable with an aspect of our life, the big guy throws us a curve ball! We have loved, loved our NY ward, more like our NY family! It was a place we could go every week and feel like we belong.

We just received a new calling as stake specialist in the deaf branch. We have only attended a couple of times but already...... we love it! No, we don't know ASL (other than the alphabet) but the members are so loving and welcoming. It is like no other experience I have ever had. Robert says he feels like he is back on the mish. The missionaries meet with us once a week to teach us ASL and we have been learning to sign the Hymns. I miss our Inwood Ward dearly and hope our friends won't forget about us but we are excited about our new adventure!
***Our new meeting house in Union Square!

Busy Week and Governor's Island

Our week was busy, busy, busy! We had an exciting night at a party with all the board members of my charter school. I was excited to introduce Robert to Eva Mosqowitz and we even bumped into (literally) Chancellor Klien and Senator Sampson. We also spent a night out with Robert's classmates and professor. We have been so blessed to work with such intelligent, passionate people. It is exciting but extremely humbling.

After the event we walked out to see fog over the Empire State building. It almost looked like it was on fire.

Governor's Island
Before Robert headed off to Connecticut for a 5 week medical rotation we had the perfect weekend. We rode our bikes all around Manhattan. Here are some pics from our bike ride to Governor's Island and South Seaport!
South Seaport- We had lunch and ice cream and enjoyed the beautiful weather!
Taking the ferry out to Governor's Island. Governor's Island is a small island that has an old army base. It is a 10 minute- free- ferry ride from the point of Manhattan. There is a bike trail all the way around the island. The view of the city and Statue of Liberty are amazing!

Getting ready to take the ferry back to the city


Great view of the Statue of Liberty
Great view of OUR city!!

East Side.....

Last weekend we went for a run on the East side of the island. We have always been loyal to the West side trails but I am glad that we tried it out. Robert runs A LOT faster than me, so I rode the bike and then we switched. We couldn't run all those miles without rewarding ourselves with some DeLIcioUS doughnuts from Doughnut Planet! Great day to be a New Yorker!

Teaching!!??!?!?

Awwww.... teaching?!?!!? About every other day I ask myself... (or Robert).... Why did I go into teaching??? When you see this pictures you will see why it is all WORTH IT! Isn't my class the most beautiful bunch of kids you have ever seen??? I think so! I LOVE these kids SOOOOOOOO much! I would do just about anything for these kids!

I have the best Alma Mater EVER! UVU has gone beyond Z in supporting me again this year! My classroom is named Utah Valley University and I couldn't be prouder. My kids LOVE the shirts!!
