Gathering #8 part 2

On my trip I went from weather like this (yikes)

To this (much better)

And a special treat we saw the University of Utah truck on the way home from the Colorado State Game

These 2 pics are from my uncles party!

And I also got to hang out with my 2 cute cousins Emily and Anna!

Gathering #8

My trip to Denver was great. My dad and mom drove and left early Friday morning. Benj and I flew. We left our house around 1:45 pm and got to Denver around 5:00. We flew with our Uncle Paul and Aunt Wendy and they gave us a ride to my Uncle Jacks SURPRISE PARTY. So we got to the party and waited for the rest of my extended family to show up. My uncle had no idea that we were coming and when he got there he was very surprised by all of his friends that were there. My cousin Ashley had to point out my mom and my uncle Paul. We ate food and talked at the party. The next day we just hung out at my aunt and uncles house, our rental car had a flat tire so dad and I went to get it fixed. That night we went to my uncles favorite restaurant Maggiano's Little Italy. It was great. The food was amazing. The next day we packed up the car and drove home. Short trip but none the less a fun trip. Pictures will be on the next post I don't have my camera with me.

COMING SOON

Coming soon to a computer near you. Gather #8 My trip to Denver!

Gathering #7

I have a weakness. I know you all thought that I am perfect and that I do everything right, but none the less I do have a weakness. I love to SHOP!!! I love to shop for things that are on sale. I think that there is something wrong with my brain. Or maybe my heart. I see something on sale and one part of me (my heart or brain not sure which) says "You cant afford that" and then the other part of me says "But Kimmy you need it." And so back and forth I go as I slowly put things in my shopping cart and check out. Am I happy that I bought it? YES! Will I do it again? NO! Well I probably will and then goes the debate back and forth. As I put things in my cart that I HAVE TO HAVE. Maybe someday I can turn this weakness into a strength. Maybe one day I can learn to say "no you cant afford that."
Its red ribbon week at school and the kids are practicing saying no to drugs. Is shopping a drug? The bigger question can I say no?

Gathering #6

So after much pushing from my friends I have decided to put up pictures of my BORING classroom. I started decorating for Halloween this week (hopefully I will finish in the next day or two). So here it is the much anticipated debut of Miss Mills' classroom

This is the view from the back of the room

Power points, keyboard technique, and class rules wall

Nimble fingers, and books of the month wall

Gathering #5

This week I have been noticing the little things around me and have found somethings.

I have found that rain makes the world look crisper.

I have found that I like to crawl into my bed with lots of blankets.

I have found that fall colors inspire me.

I have found that cookie taste better hot from the oven.

I have found a bargain buy makes me feel like I am a super shopper.

I have found that it is harder for me to spend cash then putting my purchase on my debit card.

I have found as most people LOVE fall because of FOOTBALL, I only can handle 1 game a day.

I have found that short weeks total screw up my sleep schedule.

I have found that decorating for Halloween makes me wish for the days when I was little and could enjoy every part of the holiday.

I have found that babies (one in particular) always make me feel better about myself.

I have found that eating from the lunch buffet make this Saturday worth all the headaches.

I have found that I only listen to the radio on Saturday nights, and it is always Show tunes Saturday night.

I have found that getting up at 7 in the morning makes my day seem more full.

I have also found that when 7 am comes around I wish it was later, but I can still pull myself out of bed.

I have found that my family makes everything better.

That is just some of the things that I have found and noticed this week.
