What were you doing ten years ago?
I was 14, Freshman at Grantsville High School. I was interested in tennis and being with my friends. I am sure I was interested in boys too, but no one really sticks out in my mind that year.

Snacks I enjoy:
I like 94% fat-free popcorn, crystal light, and sun dried tomato and basil wheat thins

Five things on my to-do list today(or tomorrow, it is almost 10:30 p.m. and its bedtime):
1. Get Baylin to school and Peyton to Kristina's
2. Teach School
3. Tidy up my classroom for parent/teacher conferences
4. Parent/Teacher Conferences
5. Spend a little time with Nolan and my kids before bed

Things if I would do if I were suddenly made a billionaire:
Pay off tour house, regular manicures, pedicures, and massages! I would go shopping so I can decorate my house more, buy new clothes, get a fence, finish our basement, buy new living room furniture, add on to our house,save money for our kids, pay off debt, travel to wherever I wanted to go, buy a condo (for vacation), pay my tithing and donate to charity.

Three of my bad habits:
1. Hitting the snooze button way too much
2. Being a little controlling-I am working on it!
3. I am way too uptight. I really need to work on it

Jobs I have Had...
Hardware Store Clerk
Telemarketing (who hasn't)
Dry Cleaner's
Lin's-Cedar City, Clerk
Mattress store in Cedar City, It only lasted 8 days and then I moved (does that count?)
Mom
4th Grade Teacher

Things people don't know about me:
1. I like to sing, especially in the car. I sing tons at home with my kids and Nolan. My voice is terrible though.
2. I really want to take dance lessons like, swing or ballroom. I would love to dance how they do on Dancing with the Stars, Nolan refuses to take any sort of dance lesson with me!
3. I would love to be a Chef. I would love to take cooking classes! I would cook and cook if someone would clean-up after me. That is the worst part of cooking!

Update

It sure has been a while since the last time I blogged. Here is an update on what has been going on in our lives. The day after Valentine's Day Noland and I went to Salt Lake and spent the night at Little America. My Mom and Dad kept Baylin and Peyton for us. We had a nice time. We went to The Macaroni Grill, saw "Fools Gold", did a little shopping. It was so much fun! Over President's weekend we bought a new kitchen table. We had to order it so we don't have yet, but hopefully not too much longer until it arrives. It is tall, black and has four stools. It is just what we have been looking for. I don't know how well Baylin will do with the stools because they don't have backs, but I am in the process of looking and buying some new stools. I have found quite a few that I like, I just need to narrow it down. Nolan and I spoke in church on Sunday. I was so nervous. Nolan did a great job and I think I did well. I am so glad that it is over though. This week is extremely busy. Nolan and I both have parent/teacher conferences on Tuesday and I have them on Thursday as well. On Friday I am in charge of rollerskating at the elementary school and that goes from 5:00-9:00 p.m. Each teacher has to take two days. I have already done one day so Friday will be my last day. YEAH!!! The most exciting thing that I think has happened is over the weekend my brother Jacob and his wife Heather told us that they are expecting a baby in late September. I am so EXCITED for them!!! There is a wrap up of what has been going on!

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!!!

Stuck Truck

Nolan got his truck stuck! There is so much SNOW!!!

Let it SNOW! Let it SNOW! Let it SNOW!

Happy Valentine's Day!!! We woke up this morning to two feet of snow! That means, NO SCHOOL!!! So, Nolan and I got a teaching break today. When school resumes tomorrow we will then celebrate Valentine's Day at school. I guess Valentine's Day this year will last two days. How FUN!!! I hope that everyone has a HAPPY VALENTINE"S DAY!!! Be careful out there if you are out and about. I was coming home from school yesterday and made it Tooele without any problems just really slow. Then I stopped off at Wal-Mart to grab a few things for my class Valentine's party. On my way home, I slid off the road right in front of the post office and I was STUCK. I turned on my hazard lights and called Nolan. As I was sitting off the side of the road a truck pulled over to help me. Him and his wife got out and it was our neighbors from Stansbury Park. He got me out and I was on my way. I am so thankful for nice people who are willing to help.

Baylin's 1st Haircut

Believe it or not Baylin is 3 1/2 years old and she has NEVER had a haircut. Baylin was actually bald until she was about 14 months old. Last weekend we took Baylin to Great Clips to get her hair cut for the first time. The lady was really nice and Baylin was really brave despite how nervous she was. The lady took off four inches. I think she looks really cute! It is so much easier to do now!!!

President Monson...Our Beloved Prophet

Wow! What a week it has been for our church. With the death of our beloved Prophet President Gordon B. Hinckley; came mixed emotions in the Grover home. It brought saddness, joy, and peace to our home. We all knew that President Monson would take over as our prophet, seer and revelator. What a comfort to know who would become our leader. We are so blessed to belong to a church that is so organized. I am so excited to get to know President Monson as our prophet. I have faith that he will do great and marvelous things for our church. I am so grateful to have the knowledge I have about the Gospel andto have been raised my goodly parents who love the Lord and have taught me to do the same. I hope that as a mother and I can raise my children in righteousness.

With all my heart and the fervency of my soul, I lift up my voice in testimony as a special witness and declare that God does live. Jesus is His Son, the Only Begotten of the Father in the flesh. He is our Redeemer; He is our Mediator with the Father. He it was who died on the cross to atone for our sins. He became the firstfruits of the Resurrection. Because He died, all shall live again. “Oh, sweet the joy this sentence gives: ‘I know that my Redeemer lives!’ ” May the whole world know it and live by that knowledge.
Thomas S. Monson, “I Know That My Redeemer Lives!,” Ensign, May 2007, 22–25
