DARWIN is on his 12th year of teaching, currently at Springville High School teaching astronomy, geology, environmental science, and physics. He also teaches physics at UVU for a 7 week STEM summer school program for junior high students. He also teaches teenagers in our church ward. He's super busy, but still makes time to be an awesome dad and husband.
That is totally how I feel most days right now. D and I have just been running from one thing to the next, and taking one day at a time. School is going well, but is keeping me crazy busy and I'm already counting down the weeks until the end of the semester (11 weeks left of classes, and 12 until the end of the semester). I have SO much going on between now and then that it seems so stinkin' far away, but I am trying to enjoy the moment and savor this time in my life. I am super excited to finally graduate next April, but I can guarantee that I'll miss school when I'm no longer here. UVU is currently my second home. In fact, I'll be here longer than at my own house today (14 hours on campus today)! And then I'll be spending half of my Saturday here again too. Whoo! Bring it on, baby!!I have come to REALLY LOVE check marks!! It's so nice to be able to cross a "to-do" off my list, and to put a slash through every day that goes by. Don't get me wrong, I really do love having the opportunity to be so involved on campus this semester, but I'm also really looking foward to not having so much on my plate. Right now my life pretty much consists of being at school all day, going home and working on homework, making dinner, spending a few minutes of "down-time" with D, and then we're off to bed and ready to do it again the next day. It's hard enough to find time to get everything done that I need to, let alone make my visiting teaching appointments and prepare our Sunday school lessons. Who ever decided that 24 hours in a day would be enough? When somebody figures that out, would you let me know?
P.S. I substituted a class for one of my professors yesterday and I'll be doing it again today and tomorrow...I have officially decided I could NEVER be a teacher. Honey and Pappy J, you are my heros. Thanks for having the patience to teach other people's kids. I don't even have the patience to teach/instruct college students!

WOW! You are SUPERWOMEN!! You are so busy I almost feel bad for you, but you make it sound like you are having a blast. Thats why I almost feel bad for you. At least you are living life to the fullest. My quote I now tell myself often and Im sure you do is; "Come what may and LOVE IT" Sounds like you are practicing that!!! ;)
Glad to see an Update Kiara!
PS Good luck with school and teaching!
I'm sorry that you are so busy! We had those same time, except it was almost harder because Jared was home(but at school) so me and the little one had to stay away. It does get better!You will be done with school before you know it, and you will have a great resume!!!!!
I totally understand, I sometimes feel the same way. I have school all day and then Clay has work at night, so some days we don't even really get to see each other. That is exciting that you are almost done, but ya you probably will miss it. Then you will get a real job and be wishing you could be back in school haha. Good Luck with everything you have going on!
Just got your comment from my blog - the costume shop is at the West Valley Hale Theatre. From the sounds of it - you're pretty busy - but it would be cool to see you! Good luck with everything.
