I'm Back!!

Hello!
Tons of great things have happened in the past two months. So why have you not heard about them?!
Well its because I did not have my computer since we moved, and I finally got it back... I have a lot of catching up to do.
I will start with this:

Moving 3 times in 1 month= not fun.
So here is what happened. We found a really awesome deal for an apartment so we notified our apartment manager that we were going to be moving when our contract ended. But there was a catch. Our contract ended August 1st and the new one did not start until August 21st. So there was a gap. For a week we stayed in Branden's Grandparents mobile home, but then we moved to the old craft room at my parents house. This was meant to be super temporary. However, 3 days before we were supposed to move into our new place, they called and told us that they decided to give it to someone else, which was a let-down because they gave us reason to believe from the start that we had it. Oh well. . luckily we had a storage shed so the moving was not too horrible. So here we are invading my parents home, like I never thought I would. We planning on staying here to help my mom get the house ready to sell. The whole thing has just made me very grateful for family, both the close ones and the far away ones! :) Let me know if you know of any good places to live in Provo.
So, one night I heard a noise in the kitchen. I went in to find this:
My first thought was "ghosts" :)

Safety Lady
I got a job. Not because I needed one. I had been doing volunteer work at the local elementary school as Safety Director. Every afternoon I go to the elementary school, set up a bunch of signs, and then help parents to "remember" the rules :) I get this a lot:
 The PTA president decided that she liked my work so she got the principal to hire me. It is just an hour a day. It will be nice to have a little extra money for something I was already doing. A cool "behind the scenes" of this is that my mom is actually on the PTA as their safety officer. Last year a boy was hit during pick-up so she did a bunch of work and got some fancy signs made. Her design was so perfect that the district presented it to all of the schools as an example of what they should be doing. For the first 2 weeks of the new system tons of parents were giving complements to my mom and the school for the "way smoother than last year" system. A major part of that system is me, so if i mess it up... well no more Sunday dinners for me :)

Provo Rec Center
Can I just say that the new Provo Rec. is AWESOME!! If you have not gone, you should go! they offer tons of exercise classes that are free when you have a day pass (or monthly/year pass). I have gone a few times. Twice to Zumba and once to a piyo class. I loved the piyo it was way fun! and I decided that Zumba is just not my thing haha :) but everyone else seemed to enjoy it. Anyway, hopefully I will be getting a long-term class... but... I don't know, I have a feeling that might not happen. oh well.
