My Manly Man

The day I got back from California after visiting John during his internship our front passenger window broke and wouldn't roll up. So for a week while I was in Utah bymyself I was driving with a plastic bag taped over the window. You cannot believe how annoying and noisy driving with a plastic trash bag over the window is. Then exactly a week later a few hours before John came home back to Provo the Driver's window broke. I couldn't believe it! Both of our front windows within the same week.

I also failed to mention that while John was in California a rock hit the windshield while I was on the freeway which left about a foot long crack. I must be bad luck for our jeep Champ because it ALWAYS breaks when I am driving and John is out of town.

After doing some research to have our windows repaired we were shocked at how expensive it was going to be to fix it. The jeep dealership said the part alone was $260 then another $150 for labor. And that was just for one not two. But John being as resourceful as he is found both parts for $120 total.

So we went to my grandparents and John used Youtube and my Grandpa and fixed both windows himself. Yup he is awesome and so talented! He was so proud of himself and so was I. I love my manly man!

Back to the Grind

School started last week which is good...I think. John found an on campus job that he loves and even though he doesn't make much, income is SO welcomed since neither John or I had jobs for July and August. He is working at Y-serve which is section of BYU that organizes and advertises for all types of service groups and activities.

He wears a shirt and tie to work everyday and I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE it! SO handsome and SO hot!

I started teaching at BYU! I'm teaching two beginning level ballroom dance classes. 180 which is social dance and 184 which is beginning ballroom or standard. It is a blast! Although it proves to be quite difficult and I really have to plan well and then be on my toes for whatever my class presents me with that day. It is so interesting how the personalities of the people in each class really shape the class. Before I go to my classes to teach I can't think to much about it or I get nervous! But I just remember a few things

• I don't know everything
• it's ok to make mistakes
• and I'm still learning too....LOTS

School is great so far. John's schedule is super busy but we have every evening free which is an astronomical improvement from last winter semester. Last winter semester we never had an evening together because I worked from 3pm-8pm and he worked from 8pm-11pm. Then I had rehearsal at 7am so I would go to bed before he got home. It was awful. But I am so grateful that is has worked out this semester that we have every evening together! And so we had decided to always eat dinner together and to set everything from the day and the days to come aside while we eat and that is our time and our time only.

I'm so lucky to have John. He is the biggest blessing I have ever recieved!
