today was a big day

yeah, you thought getting engaged was a big day.

or realizing you are in love.

or your wedding day (t - 75 days, well, at the time of me writing this at 7.20 pm on monday night, it's actually t - 74.5 days, not that we're counting or anything)

today was even bigger than all of that.

today,

at 7.30 am,

i,

heidi marie kendrick,

soon to be heidi hopper {isn't that so cute?!}

turned      in       my     TEACHER WORK SAMPLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i am so happy.

i think steven is even happier than i am.

we are celebrating with...you guessed it...GOLDEN SPOON!

also, i ran outside in utah for the first time since november.  i ran outside everyday last year {okay, minus the sabbath and a select few other days}.  through rain and blizzards and freeezing weather.  all for that marathon.  oh, i loved that day.  

also, also, a student in my class got a ticket today.  tickets are bad.  just like tickets from cops are bad.  at least i wasn't the one that gave it out.  i am kind of glad this particular student earned this ticket.  yes, earned.  that's where physical violence and lying to the principal and blaming other students get you.  maybe things in the classroom will be a little better.  my poor new boy asked to move tables from this particular student after 10 minutes!

other events and happenings:

i'm getting married!

and going to the bahamas in 76 days.

and erin is getting married in 40 days!!

erin and i took this with my dad after i got engaged last sunday.

poor daddy.  he loves it.  and he loves steven and mike, so it's all good.

but that salt 'n peppa {not the rapper chicks} hair is turning more and more salty.

it used to be black.  and then he had erin.  then me.  then emily.  then dana.  and with each girl that popped out of the oven, it got more and more salty.

i loooooove my paparupa!
