It's not every day...

....you almost burn your house down. Oh wait, for me it is. For those of you who know me well you know I have a history of house fires. Well, the other night I was craving some popcorn and Trent and I were about to watch a movie so I threw some in the microwave hit the "popcorn" button and ran upstairs to change into my pajamas. BAD IDEA.

Mini bag of popcorn + "popcorn" button =  death.

           

I came downstairs and saw smoke coming from the kitchen. I opened up the door and a plume of smoke hit me right in the face. Then I yelled something like "oh, no" or something else... and Trent came running down the stairs to see our whole kitchen and living room covered in smoke.

did our smoke alarms go off? No.

Do they go off after I open the bathroom door after I have showered or if i am boiling water on the stove? Yes.

Needless to say our house smelled like burnt popcorn for the next few days....and i didn't feel like popcorn so much anymore.

Trent started school this week and it's going to be a difficult semester for him. He has a ton of hard classes but he is a trooper and studies way more than I ever had the patience for! So far student teaching has been great. I feel like it's easier than being a college student! The students in my class are all really good and my teacher is really good to work with. I taught a lesson on the layers of the earth and found this idea on pinterest and just happened to have a plethora of play-doh in my teaching box. The kids were amazed by it and asked me if they could touch it. haha. They crack me up!

I also taught a lesson on pangea and one girl in my class is convinced it didn't happen. She was so mad! I had my first observation from the University this past Friday and it went well. :) I always get sooo nervous for those!

Trent and I have been wanting to go hike the R mountain and we finally did last week. I was surprised how steep it was! I was huffing and puffing the whole way up! It was really pretty at the top though.

This weekend we decided to go play tennis on Friday night because we are slightly addicted. So we went and played a few games, went to go get in our car and it was booted! NOOOOOOOOO!

That was an expensive game of tennis.

Then we went home Saturday morning for Jaren's reception. We got to spend time at Trent's house and played some football with Dillon. He is a miniature Trenton. They were hilarious together. Here are some action shots....

After that we went golfing with my dad. We have him addicted now :) I got par on a hole finally! Then we went to the reception and saw Jaren and his happy wife! they were cute together.

That night we went to my house and ate pizza and watched the byu/utah game with my ma and pa. It was nuts. and really frustrating. I sat there imagining how angry Kalli was. HAHA!

Now we are back in Rexburg ready for another week to come and go!
