December

December has been a blur. 
Final exams, testing with PD, lots and lots of subbing, and somehow getting Christmas wrapped up. No wonders I'm sick and tired and thus have time to update this blog that nobody cares about (except David and Me).
Quick trip up to St.George to celebrate Mom's birthday at a Piano Guys concert and then dinner.

After the show on our way to Cracker Barrel, Spencer was a bit upset and blurted that he didn't want crackers for dinner! haha

Getting ready for oral boards- eek! I was so nervous for him.

But he did great. Everything was pass/fail up to this point. He passed the written and physical tests, and then the interview. His cumulative score was good enough that he found a spot on the hiring list...we'll see what happens. In the meantime, we'll keep cranking out as much school credits as we can.

High School basketball games- where we watch a cousin on the boy's team, laurels on the women's team, and laurels on the cheer squad.

The little girls' gifts- a "grocery bag with fresh produce"! It was fun sewing the bags, not so fun sewing all the fruit and veggies to put inside. So I went to the dollar store and grabbed some fakies used for decoration or something. I hope the girls use them to do some fun imaginative grocery shoppping.

and no Christmas photos...but Christmas did happen and it was marvelous. Lots and lots of time spent with family. Couldn't be better.

We went up North for Shelby's wedding (we managed to not take a single picture- amazing!) and stopped in Provo and waited out some serious snow fall. Uploaded from the Photobucket Android App

Birthday Boy's dinner at Hash-House
Before dinner, David was a good sport and helped me set up and take down the piano recital for all my students.

Which means here are the pictures from October, because if there's isn't photo evidence, I have a hard time recalling much.

September

...Did September even happen? 
If I didn't have these few photos from the month I could convince myself that it was never here- that's how fast September came and went. And October is doing the same thing. 
 I present to you September (in whatever order the photos chose to load):
That one time I went to Stake Conference in polka dots and crazy messy hair.
And score- this skirt was $0.50, found at an estate sale.
 That one time David finally took me golfing. And it was like 115 with no cloud coverage and no shade. The heat didn't help me like or understand the game any better.




The annual Crowther Reunion
I look like an elf during mine and Haele's photo-op

Timeout for Women. My mom is great at procuring tickets for good stuff and filling up her Yukon with lovely people to join her. Lucky me- I'm one of the lucky ones that gets to hop in most of the time!

And that concludes September. 
Most weekends David has been in Panaca with one Robbins or another doing what he loves- finding deer.
During the week he hits his books hard so he can play on the weekend. He's doing really well with his classes so far. We both are excited for this semester to be over because that means we're that much closer to figuring out where we'll be this time next year (Idaho, Provo, Reno, or maybe still here- in a place of our own)
I substitute teach k-12 during the day as often as I can. I like it so far. Maybe I'll finish my degree in teaching, who knows. And every day I teach piano from 3-6 or later. I'm at the point where I have to tell people that I can't take anymore students (because I'd go crazy if I did).
