2 weeks left...technically

So today was our last day of school with the kids. Tomorrow's is the teacher's and para's. My last day of work is going to be the 15th of January which really is only 2 weeks when we all get back from Christmas break. Crazy to think about, but i'm pretty excited for a new adventure. I'm taking off earlier because I can't really do all the things my job requires - like lifting kids that can't walk or running after "runners". So, i'll have a bit of time to do things. So, any ideas? Crafts? New hobbies? Let me know what y'all think.

ok. Now to clear up the Pine Canyon thing. If you send me a letter with a city addressed to Pine Canyon, Tooele, or Lincoln I'll receive it. Pine canyon is like Lujan to Elk Grove. Or better yet - Elk Grove to where the Janssons live. It's pretty much the same place, but a bit more out there and rural. Pine Canyon is a bit separated from the subdivisions as we're at the base of the mountain. It was one of the first places established around here and it's name has changed a bit from what i understand. Because it's an older place there tends to be older people around and they live a bit of a simpler and down to earth life. Thus cooking with deer meat and all. My neighbor just slaughtered one of her cows and so i think i'm gonna get some of her meat. All natural (said like off of Wedding Planner). It's a lot of good fun.

So too much has happened in the last 2 months for me to try and update at the moment. So, I'll try and get back to the computer soon.
Larry and I went back last month for my regular checkup and our doctor kindly did a free quick ultra sound to check the baby's sex again. So, it's definitely, maybe a girl. I'll try and get the pictures on here. She's pretty sure it's a girl, and the other ultrasound tech said she's pretty sure. So, we're taking both those "pretty sure"s and combining it to make a positive. Her name is Reagan Elizabeth Thorpe. I'm getting nervous as the time draws closer because i totally don't feel prepared at all, but it'll be all good, right???
So on a different note - i am officially a resident of Pine Canyon Utah. Last night for dinner i made spaghetti! I know, "Why does that make you a resident of PC?" you ask. Well, I've made spaghetti many times but this time i made it with DEER MEAT! One of Larry's friend gave us some deer meat from this last hunt. I'm grateful for the meat despite my newness to it. It tasted a bit different, but not too bad.
Well I'll try to update soon. It's time to get ready for our ward Christmas party -where 3 of my piano students are performing.
