March Update

Ok this last month, quite a bit went on.
This month was a big month for Jared with the school. He conducted his first band concert this month. He did fantastic, although I may be a bit biased. He also went with the band to festival this month. The band did great. Jared only has 2 more weeks of student teaching left, so he has started looking for jobs. Last week he went to a job fair thing down at BYU where he was able to interview with some of the school districts from across the state. We are both hoping that we can find something here in the valley. Jared is REALLY interested in the band teacher position at Copper Mountain Middle School, which is a brand new middle school opening up this next school year. Some of the students he has been teaching will be going to that school next year, and they are all hoping he gets that job too.
On the 15th we went to St George to be there as Jared's sister Marsha received her endowment at the temple there. It was a wonderful experience. Also while we were in St George when we went to a sacrament meeting we were able to hear from Elder Bednar and Elder Snow and their wives, and it wasn't even a special meeting. It was pretty cool.
We also celebrated our 2nd anniversary. We went out to dinner together and took a drive up by the Draper Temple. We were able to talk about this last year and the great memories from this past year. And talked a little about the changes that will be happening over the next year, and the things we can do better this year.
We are both doing well and enjoying our work. Life is good.

February Update

Well I am a little behind on our update for February. So it is not going to be as detailed as I would hope because well, it's already the end of March.
Well at the beginning of February Jared went to UMEA. He was gone for a few days at the conference. What all happened I honestly don't know, but while Jared was gone he sent me some roses. It was very sweet.
We were on the committee for our ward's Valentine's Dinner. I was in charge of getting the decorations up and Jared was in charge of music(big surprise there right). We decorated with the centerpieces from our wedding. Jared found a lot of romantic Italian type music, and it really set the mood. It was such a hit with everyone that came.
Valentines Day we went out to dinner at Sizzler and exchanged gifts of course. I can't remember what we did after dinner exactly, but we didn't have much time that night because I didn't get off till 6 and we both had work the next day.
Jared's mentor teacher's wife had baby last month, so Jared had a lot of practice teaching. His first conducting performance was at the 6th grade orientation with the jazz band.

That pretty well sums up February.
