So it's been kind of a long time since everyone has posted. Lots of life changing things have happen in our family but this is no excuse to not post about them. Everyone give us a little detail into what is happening in your lives. Right now I am just wishing that I could make you all some peanut butter fingers and we could watch a movie like Little Giants or Big Daddy or lately I have been trying to refrain from watching White Christmas. I want to so bad but it's not even Halloween yet so I feel like I better just wait for a couple more weeks. Jones, are you in.... Do you want to watch White Christmas tonight? Everyone just come over around 8:30 and I will have the peanut butter squares ready to go. I promise to not add any extra salt or anything... I am sure you all remember those no baked cookies I made for conference that one time where I substituted the 1 tsp. of salt for 1 cup. Don't know how that happened and why I didn't catch that but I'm pretty sure I can remember Richs face when he bit into those delicious gems.
I must welcome Tate to the family. We are so glad you are here and we welcome you into the madness of the Tuttle family. I am excited to hold him at Thanksgiving. And until then I will just have to web cam 3 to 4 times a week. Then we have the Connecticutans. Yes I know, that English is amazing. I have a masters degree and 7 years of higher educations and those are the words that I am coming up with. I must get that from Mom. We all know that writing is not my strength but what can you do. Porter drew me an awesome picture whilst we were web caming the other day. It sounds like everything is going good there and that you live in Holden but you have the beauties of the city life not to far away. I am a jealous. Erica, take some pictures of kids playing around the house, with the goats (Even though Claire HATES goats, that's what she told Mom the other day) jumping on the trap, your house, your neighbors. Really anything. Rich and Shelane, what is going on? Shelane how is the job going? From when I stayed with you guys this summer I kind of think of your job like the girl in Two Weeks Notice because your boss was calling you at 10 o'clock at night. Are you liking it? Did your sister get there baby yet? Rich, how's everything going? How's nature care and the hunting? I had a friend tell me about his uncles hunting trip that was down in New Mexico and that it cost him $15,000 dollars to go hunt on this reservation but that he missed the elk or got it but it didn't kill it so they came home with nothing. That's a lot of money for no trophy bull to hang on the wall. I guess that's how they do it down here. Of course, that's how they do it down here.
I have started all of my jobs and they are going well. I am getting use to teaching the little ones again. I have a class of 12, 2 and 1/2 year olds and they are little monsters that can't even tell me their names but I do have a new game plan for that class so hopefully it will go better. The Lord definitely wants me to have patience of gold and so he keeps sending me experiences that refrain my capabilities to control situations around me. I am teaching all ages, I even have three grandmas in my college teaching job, they are so cute and they are just taking because they never had the opportunity to take when they were little. Two little latino grandmas and one philliopiao grandma. I love them and I really like teaching there. It's at Rio Honda College in LA and it's a very multicultural school as you can imagine. I love that and I hope that I get to teach there in the future. Everyone pray that I can get more work there. I teach a lot of ballet which consists of me calling Joni multiple times a week to teach me over the phone so that I can teach my classes. Ms. Vivians ballet school at the Tumbling Building was to long ago, I remember nothing and so Joni is my teacher. Which of course she is amazing and always belling me out and answering my questions. I have realized lately that this is the first time in a long time that I am not consumed with something. For the past 6 or 7 years I have had jobs or school or church callings that consume everything. This is a new feeling for me and I am trying to be ok with it because I feel like it might only last for a short amount of time. I do like my teaching, it's hard and my schedule is all over the place but I do get to do what I love and so that is a blessing.
We have been riding our bikes to the beach a lot. I love bike riding and we live about 10 mins from the beach so we just ride our bikes down there and play and then ride home. I am trying to take advantage of where I live because who knows how much longer I will be here. I have a performance this Thursday for the Laguna Dance Festival. I am doing a Gallery Installation at one of the art galleries in Laguna. They have so many in Laguna and every 1st Thursday they have what is called the Laguna Art Walk where all the galleries stay open late and people can walk in and out of all the galleries and they have fancy treats and of course wine so everyone is usually drunk walking the streets of Laguna. But there are a couple of choreographers that are doing pieces for this Festival so it should be good. I am excited and nervous. Did all of the women go to the broadcast? I loved Uchdorffs talk about creating.... SO TRUE! I loved it and I want to memorize it. Everyone should go read it, guys and girls. Anyways, this post is super long and I don't think I even really said anything so I guess I will just stop. I miss you all like crazy and I hope we are all learning a good lesson right now and that is IT'S NOT WORTH IT TO LIVE THIS FAR AWAY FROM EACH OTHER! So you have less than two years to wrap things up where you live and move to Idaho. Deal? You might think that I am joking but your wrong. I am being dead serious right now. And you don't want to mess with me, right Rich? Rich knows the one hard punch that would send him away. That's all it took. I am willing and ready to use that on any of you. I will stay true to the rule of no hitting in the face but this is your warning. Love you all. See you soon.
