Jay, eating, sleeping, singing, dancing, seeing old friends, reading, writing, being crazy, teaching.

Music
I love it all! This past year I have started to realize how much I truly love music. All music. My favorite band changes quite often. I'm kind of going through this rock phase where all I wanna do is go to concerts and start mosh pits. I was so angry after the Breaking Benjamin/Three Days Grace show when I didn't even have one single bruise.
Movies
Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure is the best. I love all the Harry Potter movies, but Goblet of Fire is my favorite. All time faves include Pretty Woman, Monty Python & the Holy Grail, Girls Just Wanna Have Fun, My Best Friend's Wedding...and of course Napoleon Dynamite. You are Deb and you could drink whole milk if you wanted.
I watched every episode of American Idol and Dancing with the Stars. I also got somewhat into Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader. I love Spongebob. My favorite channels are VH1 and the Food Network. Lately I've been really into shows like 10 Years Younger and What Not To Wear.
Books
I just finished all the Harry Potter books. I'm so proud of myself!!! It took me like 9 months to finish Order of the Phoenix but Half Blood Prince I finished in one week and Deathly Hallows only took 3 days! I like kids poetry like Shel Silverstein books and kids books. And COOKBOOKS! I love the "101 things to do with a cake mix/tortilla/crockpot" and all those!
Heroes
My parents and siblings. I know that our family could easily be considered "dysfunctional" but we've made it through so much and as I grow older I am really starting to appreciate them so much more than I ever have.

I love hearing from friends old and new alike. Please comment me, it'll put a smile right on my face. I teach 6th grade. My husband Jay is the cutest "paint nerd" you'll ever meet. I'm a Cedar High School 2001 grad and a SUU 2005 grad. I'm a proud Alpha Phi (woot woot to my sisters!) I love sleeping, going out to eat, dancing, American Idol, and talking to myself. I really miss all my St. George friends and my Bloomington kids and colleagues, but I am really enjoying teaching at Sandy Elementary this year. 6th graders are definitely a handful, but it's a lot of fun! Every day is a new adventure.

I Am A Teacher...
by John W. Schlatter...
I am a Teacher.
I was born the first moment that a question leaped from the mouth of a child.
I have been many people in many places...
Throughout the course of a day I have been called upon to be an actor, friend, nurse and doctor, coach, finder of lost articles, money lender, taxi driver, psychologist, substitute parent, salesman, politician and a keeper of the faith.
Despite the maps, charts, formulas, verbs, stories and books, I have really had nothing to teach, for my students really have only themselves to learn, and I know it takes the whole world to tell you who you are.
I am a paradox. I speak loudest when I listen the most. My greatest gifts are in what I am willing to appreciatively receive from my students.
Material wealth is not one of my goals, but I am a full-time treasure seeker in my quest for new opportunities for my students to use their talents and in my constant search for those talents that sometimes lie buried in self-defeat.
I am the most fortunate of all who labor.
A doctor is allowed to usher life into the world in one magic moment.
I am allowed to see that life is reborn each day with new questions, ideas and friendships.
An architect knows that if he builds with care, his structure may stand for centuries. A teacher knows that if he builds with love and truth, what he builds will last forever.
I am a warrior, daily doing battle against peer pressure, negativity, fear, conformity, prejudice, ignorance and apathy: But I have great allies: Intelligence, Curiosity, Parental Support, Individuality, Creativity, Faith, Love and Laughter all rush to my banner with indomitable support.
And who do I have to thank for this wonderful life I am so fortunate to experience, but you the public, the parents. For you have done me the great honor to entrust to me your greatest contribution to eternity, your children.
And so I have a past that is rich in memories. I have a presentthat is challenging, adventurous and fun because I am allowed to spend my days with the future.
I am a teacher...and I thank God for it every day.
Who I'd like to meet: People I don't know. Strangers are just friends I haven't met yet.
