Update

So things have been a little crazy lately. While trying to finish up the last two weeks of my student teaching I woke up one morning and took an unexpected trip to the emergency room, only to find out that I had not one, but 3 kidney stones on my right side. I spent the week of Thanksgiving lying around on pain meds hoping for the darn things to pass but in the end I am scheduled for surgery this coming Tuesday to have them removed. Instead of going home for Thanksgiving my parents ended up making the trip down here to spend our first Thanksgiving in St. George. I am happy they were able to come and I really enjoyed them taking care of me for those few days. On another note our beloved hamster Kendrick died on Thanksgiving :( We miss him very much and swear that we can still hear him in the laundry room sometimes. I am currently feeling a little better and will finish my last few days of student teaching before Christmas break. I have had a wonderful time with my 2nd grade class and I am going to miss them so much. I look forward to hopefully finding some sort of teaching position for the remainder of the year. Hope all is going well with everyone and I look forward to seeing you all over Christmas!
