Substitute Lesson

I have to admit a few things before I begin:
1). It has been a long time.
2). I am motivated to post for poor reasons, of which I will explain shortly.
3). Despite the fact that I am an inconsistent blogger, I make no formal resolution to to become better, yet I still hope that my friends check in.

In all truthfulness, I am blogging because I was asked to teach a lesson to the women in the ward about journaling. Thinking of my own journal, I thought to check in, only to notice that it had been seven months since my last post...Which, in all honesty, if you review my journal/blogging history you will find is not atypical. How is it that you can be an effective teacher when you yourself have so many faults? Yet, becoming more and more anxious as I become closer and closer to stating I will take blogging more seriously, I just hope that m,aybe it will happen again, but he fear of failure is much more frightening to me than being a hypocrite.

So, a Reader's Digest condensed version of the last few...Ok several...Months. I called my mom to half me plan my wedding. She did. It was beautiful and elegant and by far the most amazing wedding that has ever taken place in Idaho. (Remember, I am only slightly biased). Bill and I took a great honeymoon to Washington, D.C. and frequent our memories there. We would return immediately if finances could allow it. It has been over three months, and the first quarterly report of our marriage has proven successful and happier than we could have imagined. We love being married. It suits us. I completed my first year of teaching, and cried slightly when I said good-bye to my first class of fifth graders. It was a wonderful year, and I am excited to return.

Those are the highlights. More to come.
