Back Again!!

For some reason I always do picture posts... :) I never actually take the time to write too much, but I shall blog through pictures. :D So- here are some more pictures since my last picture post. I hope they make you smile. Maybe I'll actually WRITE a post sometime in the near future. But then again, maybe not. In the meantime, everything is going well here in Spanish Fork! Steve and I are still just working and having a good time! We've been called to be CTR 5 teachers in our ward, and we start teaching on the 16th. I am really looking forward to teaching/singing/playing/eating snacks with the 4-5 year olds in our ward! :) Today I took my first sick day from work. You would think that I would have had time to blog today, but instead I decided to read the entire third Harry Potter book. For some reason, I've gotten into rereading that series, as well as reading for the first time the Anne of Green Gables series. Fun stuffs. Anyway- here are the pictures, and I hope I'll be back soon! Enjoy!
PS- these pictures are very much out of order... so you may want to read the caption above each picture so that they make more sense. Yes, I am too lazy to figure out what order they go in. :) Cheers!

So- Over UEA my family invited us up to the Homestead for a night. On our way up, Steve and I decided to stop by Bridal Veil Falls. Here we are. :)

A few days before Halloween, we were invited to Raj's house for some fine Indian cuisine! Steve used to work with Raj- a very kind Indian man who speaks limited English. During their time working together, Raj brought lunch for Steve, and Steve gave him rides home from work. It was great to meet his wife, daughter in law, and granddaughter. They all spoke limited English, but they fed us fantastic Indian food! We can't wait to have them over to our house sometime!

On the 23rd, my cousin Holly got married! Yay for Holly and Michael! Unfortunately, I had parent teacher conferences that day, and I couldn't leave to attend the ceremony. Here's a picture of the ceremony taken by my cousin Katie, and a picture of me, my sister, and my grandma at the reception that night in Salt Lake.

Also before Halloween, Steve's brother Nate and his wife Monica invited us to go to Cornbelly's maze at Thanksgiving Point. It was loads of fun! We raced through the long maze... they finished first, but we saw all the signs, so we both won!... and then found some other forms of entertainment, like the big bouncy pillow, and being buried in a room full of corn...

Here's a picture of Me and Steve at the Homestead- we're on top of the biggest hill in the valley, and I just think this is a fun picture. I LOVE Midway! It is the cutest little town in the entire world! And... it has lots of fabulous model homes. (An addiction of mine...)

I think this picture is funny- it's me and my parents, but I look way too excited... :)

Me and my llama friend. This was actually taken a while ago, when Steve and I went to the Hindu Temple in Spanish Fork. They have llamas, peacocks, parrots, and zebus on their property. Awesome! And the temple itself is very pretty! The president gave us a tour, and we even got to watch part of a ceremony. It was really neat!

More recently, here we are at Halloween! Steve went as Murray, the red wiggle, and I went as an East High cheerleader. I can't even tell you how many adults got super excited and asked if I really was an East High cheerleader... :)

Our fantastic pumpkin! Nothing compared to last year's spectacular witch duck on a broomstick, but it was a lot of fun. It's actually an albino pumpkin (the white ones... :D), because all of the orange ones were so big. :D

Even more recently, like Saturday, I chopped my hairs! I also stained them. My normal color is now starting to come back, and I think I'll leave it that way, at least for a while. I do want to get a little bit thicker bangs, but all in all, I love my new hairs!! My two favorite reactions from school:
1- one little girl from across the room: "Where did Mrs. Corry go??"
2- my absolute favorite!! A super cute little boy walks in and says, "Wow Mrs. Corry!!! It looks like you woke up on the wrong side of the bed today!! But... it will grow back... right??" I laughed really hard. :D

And lastly, this is a really old picture, but I think it's fun. We used part of our gift cards from our wedding to buy a tent and a sleeping bag for me. I got so excited when we got it that I snuggled up in it as soon as we got home to try it out. Steve said I looked like a little cocoon. I really like my sleeping bag... :D

And that's the end! I guess I did write a fair amount in this post... :) I hope you all have a fantastic day!!!

Picture Post. :)

So--As you have noticed, I stink at updating. So--for your viewing enjoyment--here is a post of pictures since we've moved. So. Sit back, relax, and enjoy!!


Um...we went to 5 buck pizza...and I don't know that we'll go again any time soon... :) The pizza tasted about as good as it looked... haha

Steve quite likes the playhouse in my parent's backyard! And in this picture it looks oddly small... :)

On our way to slc Steve and I stopped by IKEA with my sister. We got a new kitchen table and chairs. Steve enjoyed pushing the cart around and around, and it was rather exciting! So here we are, pretending that we're still moving so Steve could take a picture of us. :)

Yes, Steve's a pig, and I'm a lamb. And we're dancing with a cow at the Utah State Fair!!

I like this picture--we're worms in the apples!! Yay!

Last week we had ward temple night at the Provo Temple. It was beautiful!! I had never been in this temple before, and Steve hadn't been since he was in the MTC. It was a great experience!

Here we have a lovely picture of the ventillation in our apartment! :) For those of you who hadn't heard, our apartment is great...except for the fact that it has absolutely no ventilation. yep. No a/c, and no heating. It's kind of weird, especially considering it's only 2 years old...

At the beginning of August we went to Lagoon with my parents. I like this picture of Steve and I on the swings-- a favorite ride of mine! :)

A few days before school started we got to go to the Manti temple. Another awesome experience! This has long since been a favorite temple of mine, and I loved having the opportunity to finally go inside!! The drive was great too! It's just about an hour, and it's through several beautiful small towns!!

haha- Here's a picture of me and Steve on the first day of school!! It's a family tradition to get a picture on the first day, and this one looks a lot better than the one Steve took of just me. So...here I am- a real teacher!

And as evidence of my new teacher-ness...Here I am with my first paycheck!! It was much larger than expected, and I was thrilled to receive it!!

Middle of the Night

Yep. It's 12:40am. I was sleeping pretty well until just a few minutes ago when I woke up and felt very ill. Like the throwy up kind. Is it just nerves, or am I really sick?? Yesterday was supposed to be the scary day at school--why am I almost more scared for tomorrow! I think I just want to do better tomorrow (technically today), and I'm scared that maybe I won't. I hope I'm not the only beginning teacher freaking out like this. Tomorrow's going to be great...I know what I'm doing...and I really have nothing to worry about. Sorry everyone for this random post...but I had to organize my thoughts a bit, and this is a good place to do that. So now- I'm going to go read Harry Potter while I wait for sleepiness to come back. (And hope I don't puke. :D)

The First Day of School!!

I wish I had pictures of my classroom--I will get some soon. I had my first day of school today! It was wonderful! The craziest thing that happened all day was a minor confusion with one of my students. I met 16 of the 19 of them yesterday at the open house. So when I saw a strange girl approaching me I wasn't too surprised, till she told me her name, and I didn't have her on my class list. So- I put her in my extra desk I had set up and we went about the morning. A few minutes later my mentor teacher came in with a post it note, left it for me and I found out that this girl was actually the girl who I thought was absent...she was going by her middle name. It was kind of crazy, but all is good now, and I'm great if that's the craziest thing that happened!! I also had recess duty today and we had 2 little boys, one from my class, run full speed into each other. The poor little boys each have goose eggs the size of golf balls on their heads. :) But they're troopers.
Anyway- other than that, the day was pretty calm. I LOVE my students!! They are so cute! They love to talk, and my biggest challenge today was keeping them on task. But they were fun, and I can't wait for this year with them! I heard all of the other teachers talking about how hard it was to fill the day. I was the total opposite!! I had a hard time fitting everything in! I had to postpone a couple activities until tomorrow because I just didn't fit them into the day today! I don't know how I'm going to manage when I'm actually teaching lots of curriculum stuff!! Everything will work out though. :)
Well- that's about it! I'm now sitting...and will be for the rest of the evening. :) I thought my shoes were more broken in than they were, and my feet are sore and beginning to blister. :) So, in short- I love being a teacher!!

To Enlighten the Public Consciousness

My wife will be proud of me for making another post. Wahoola! I'm going to talk about the gas stations in Scipio Utah. Exciting!...I know. As we all know, gas prices have been very high this summer, the highest ever in all of ever to be more specific (Sure, they have recently began comming down...a little...we'll see how long that will last...probably not long). Anywho, Lindsey and I have taken a few trips to northern Utah this summer and we often stop about mid-way between Cedar and SLC for a break. This stop takes place in any of a few towns, whether it be Filmore, Nephi, or the not-quite-world-renowned, Scipio. I've always liked stopping in Scipio. Back in my school boy days, whenever we took a bus trip up north, it seems Scipio was THE place our buses stopped to refuel, usually at the Sinclair. Whether I was traveling with the band, the cross country team, or the track team, I always enjoyed getting a snack from the Sinclair or from the Texaco across the street. These two gas stations have been in Scipio, serving freeway traffickers for many years. One day, around four years back, some friends and I spent several hours playing card games in the Scipio Texaco. Good times, but that really doesn't have anything to do with my point in this post. Moving on...Scipio's solitary locale has been good to these gas stations over the years. Then came the Chevron. A nice, new, attractive place WITH a Dairy Queen attached and very nice bathrooms. When you are driving by Scipio you are much more likely to take notice of the Chevron than the other two measly gas stations. Moreover, because of the Chevron's prominence on the west side of the interstate, many a nitwit stop there for gas. I stop there for Dairy Queen and the nice Bathrooms, but NEVER for gas! Why? I'll tell you why! Over the course of this summer, Lindsey and I have noted that the Scipio Chevron charges ruffly 30 CENTS MORE PER GALLON than the two stations on the other side of the freeway! OUTRAGEOUS, isn't it? Yes it is! Anywho, we found this little secret out one day when we noticed how exorbitant the prices were at Chevron. We thought between ourselves, 'well, the other stations in Scipio can't be all that different since they are just across the street, and gas stations in the same locale typically have comparable prices'. Nevertheless, we thought we would check the truth of our assumption. So we journeyed to the other side of the freeway to see the other two stations, and frankly, we were 'sore amazed'. A month or so later we stopped by the stations and took these pictures. Because you can't see the other two stations from the Chevron, Chevron can capitalize on the ignorance of people who carry the same assumption about comparable gas prices that we had. Moral of the story: don't buy gas at Scipio's Chevron, go to the Texaco or Sinclair for that. The Chevron is only good for bathrooms and Dairy Queen. Peace.

Moving

Bleh. I am supposed to be packing at the moment, but I'm sick of it. So instead, I'm going to write here. :) My boxes are filling up very quickly...and I'm hoping I'm organized enough. I hope nothing breaks, and I hope none of the boxes are too heavy. I don't like this moving business. I'm very excited to be in Spanish Fork! But I wish I could just wave a magic wand and it would all move itself! I think unpacking will be a little more fun, because I'll get to decorate our new apartment too!...but I don't like the packing part.
Anyway- here's some other fun stuff that makes me happy! I think I can graduate with University Honors!! I've been an active member of SUU's Honors Program for the past three years, and I realized this summer that I was 5 credits and a thesis short of graduating with honors. But I am pretty sure I can do it now! I registered today for the Honors Thesis class next fall, and I need to start on that right away! I'm going to write a reflection journal of a first year teacher. I have to do something like that for my supervisor anyway, but this one's going to be more aimed at future teachers. I am going to write part of it now, part of it after all my meetings but before school starts, part of it after about the first week of school, and the last part after about 2 months of school. I'm super excited! I think it will be awesome!! But that's my happy news of the day. I have Loved the honors program here at school, and I've been a huge part of it! I worked for them for 2 years, and I have gone to tons of activities and helped plan a good chunk of them. I love it so much, it's a good feeling to think that I can actually graduate from the program.
On another note, I'm gaining another sister-in-law this friday! I'm really looking forward to Monica and Nate's wedding! It will be the first wedding I'm actually somewhat involved in since my own. And I'm looking forward to having Monica in the family! She's awesome!
Well...hopefully tonight I'll remember to get the pictures from my hike from steve and onto the computer. I really want to blog all about the Narrows...and what an awesome and difficult experience that was! But I'll wait until the pictures are available. So...be alert- post coming!!
I hope everyone's summer has been lots of fun! Love to all!!

Pictures Added By Steve!

You See below some pictures taken by none other than Steve (the husband of the wondrous women who authors the vast majority of posts to this blog). Being aware of my wife's desire that I add pictures which are in my possession, I am doing that here. Below you will experience some visual samplings of the past 3 months we have been wedded. They are as follows: 1) Immediately below-Lindsey standing in front of the San Diego Temple during our 'honey-moon' as they call it(why do they call it that?). 2) Next-this is Lindsey in Zion National Park a couple of weeks ago (we went on a short hike with some friends and bought a park pass, wahoola!). She is sporting a hydration pack which was purchased by us with some of the moolah donated to our cause by generous individuals. 3) After that you will find an image of the two of us eagerly anticipating the start of Relay for Life. Walking around and around that track was actually quite satisfying. We strongly support the cause! 4) My wife, she makes great cookies, and I really, really, really like to eat them! 5) The oldes picture of the bunch. This is on our honey-moon at the Las Vegas Temple. 6) Me at the beach with a weed. 7) Yummy! That was a big dog. I ate it at the Harley Davidson in Las Vegas Nevada--another honey-moon shot. That is all for now. Peace.

Final Days of 20-hood

It is my final day of being 20. Yay! This has been a very good year for me! I married my best friend, lived in the same house for 10 months straight, (!!) did very well in school and am almost ready to graduate, was offered an internship, and have pretty much just had a wonderful year! But I think 21 will be even better! I have so much to look forward to in my life- I am so blessed!! Steve and I have a wooden plaque hanging in our living room that reads "Grow old along with me, the best is yet to be". I love that quote! (for several reasons... :D) But one of the reasons is that I love thinking that things are only going to get better! I may be extremely happy now...but just wait until I start teaching, have children, have grandchildren (!!), and keep growing old with my wonderful Steve! Things are going to just keep getting better! I can't wait to see where life takes me!
ps (Look at me go--3 days in a row!!!)

What I love

I just wanted to mention a few things that I love today.
1- of course, Steve. He's amazing and does so much for me! I am such a lucky girl, and I love him so much!
2- I love that I can hear crickets outside our bedroom window at night. We sleep with our window cracked open, and I love to hear the crickets as I am falling asleep.
3- Cookie dough. I made chocolate chip cookies yesterday, and I remembered just how much I LOVE to eat the dough. Yummy!!
4- Our new plecostomus. He's funny, because he's been in the tank for 3 days, and still hasn't made it over to the dirty part of the tank that actually needs his assistance. It's like there's a whole feast just waiting for him...but he hasn't found it yet.
5- Our Buddha we got in Las Vegas. He sits above the TV and smiles at me all day long. :D
6- Blogs. I love that I can just click through blogs and see how people are doing in their lives! I feel kind of like a stalker, but it's fun!
Well, those are some random things that I have been loving the past day or two. :D I really need to keep slowing down and noticing the little blessings I see in my life every day!

And we're back!!

I think Steve and I need to coordinate a little better here...I do the writing, but Steve has all the pictures on his phone. Hmmm... one day maybe that will change and our posts will include more fun pictures. :D So- we have returned from Las Vegas, and it was wonderful! Steve spend the mornings at the park, at the hotel, wandering around the World's Largest Gift Shop, etc. I spent the mornings at Tom Williams Elementary School. And it was amazing! I was put in a 3rd grade class, and they loved me immediately. They were the cutest kids, and LOVED it when I would eat lunch with them or play with them on the playground. I never got to teach, because to teach in Vegas you have to be fingerprinted in Vegas (the FBI fingerprints just aren't good enough...), and so I just sat in a corner and observed for 3 1/2 days. The observation may not have been the most thrilling thing, but the kids were absolutely wonderful! I want to go back already!
Anyway, the day we got back we went to our cute nephew James' first birthday party. It was great!! Judy- I'm going to want lessons on making cute birthday cakes. :D It's crazy that he's one year old already!! Steve and I started dating again just a week before he was born. That means we've been consistently together for 1 year! Yay!!
Now, it's the weekend and I really should go be productive. I still have a little homework to do, and lot of Thank You notes to finish...yes...it has been almost 3 months and I'm still working on them... Today will be a good day for that though. From yesterday afternoon until tonight, Steve is working 25 hours...so I won't be seeing much of him today. Well, I hope everyone is having a great weekend! The weather is Beautiful, and Steve and I discovered a fun trail over up Nichols Canyon on Thursday. Go have FUN!! Love to you all!

Just for Jenna. :)

This is just for you Jenna. :D Okay...and because I've been a slacker and haven't written anything in over a month. I'm committing right here that I will become a better blogger...I hope... :) This past month in a nutshell, or everything I can remember... :) I started the block, which has been great, but lots of work! I did my practicum in a 2nd grade class at Fiddler's Elementary, and I absolutely loved it! At the end of my three weeks, the kids in my class all wrote me letters and put them together into a book!! They were adorable, comparing my name to a "corry reef", and telling me that I was appreciated because I helped the teacher "while she is in her office doing something that is really important." I'm going to miss those kids! Now, I just finished the classroom management class, and I'm in science/health every day from 8:30-4. They're long days, but lots of fun! Steve's still been working at Chrysalis and being an amazing husband! Last weekend we were able to go to Salt Lake and spend the weekend with my family to celebrate both of our birthdays! (Steve had his birthday on May 5 and I will have mine on June 10.) We had a great time! We went to the Bees game...one of the few that they've won!...had dinner at my cousin's grandparent's house, ran a 5k in the rain, ate yummy cake, and we each got a new ipod nano! We've had a lot of fun playing with them...and we're both getting pretty good at Solitaire... :D
Next week we're going to be in Las Vegas! I have to do a diversity practicum for the block, so they're sending us to three inner city schools in North Las Vegas. We'll be there for 4 days, and I can hardly wait! I think this is going to be a great experience, although I am slightly nervous...
I'll let you know about all our marvelous adventures when we get back. :D
Oh- I want to post a picture, so here's the story that goes with it. Steve and I were invited to go hiking in Zion with our friends Tom and Jentry. So, we went to Zion and decided to buy a national parks pass. (If anyone wants to go to a national park...just let us know!) This is a picture of us before we actually went into the park. Steve has better ones on his computer, including a 2 minute video he made, documenting our hike to the three Emerald Pools. I'll have to convince him to add a blog and add those pictures. But here's one for your viewing enjoyment. And maybe I'll be better at this thing from now on... :D Have a great day everyone!

Spanish Fork, here we come!!

It's official!! In August, Steve and I will be moving to Spanish Fork! I got the phone call today from the principal of Larsen Elementary. I'm going to be teaching as an intern in 2nd Grade!! The crazy thing is that I wanted to teach upper grades...and now I'm in 2nd grade...but Totally excited! Yay!
On another note, we got a tent last saturday...and set it up in our living room...and it was probably the most exciting thing ever! well, almost. But it was really fun!
Okay...I'm out of cool things to say, and I am getting tired. Next week is finals...school is getting slightly crazy... :D Anyways... I hope everyone has a great day!!

Wonderful things

I am excited. Yes, I got a sleeping bag! and it's warm, and soft, and it makes me happy. :D I just wanted to let the world know that I am officially ready for camping, and for Relay of Life this Friday...it's going to be a cold night... :) Anyway, life is going good for the Corry familia. Steve's still working, I'm still being educated, and we're still happily married! Yep. That's about it. And that is the end of this small little post. :D

A good cause

So here it is. Steve and I are participating in the Relay for Life in Cedar City next weekend. (April 18-19). It's an awesome activity put on by the American Cancer Society. It's also a great fundraising opportunity! So...if you would like to donate any money to our team or to us individually for our team, here's how to do it. Go to www.ironrelayforlife.org . Click on either Donate to Participant, or Donate to Team. Our names are Steve and Lindsey Corry. :) Our team name is Almost Intellectual. (It's for the SUU Honors Program). Any donations are welcome! I think that pretty much everyone has been affected by cancer in one way or another, and this is a great way to, as the website says, "celebrate survivors, remember those lost to cancer, and to fight back against this disease." On another note- here is a picture of us...I tried to put it on with yesterday's post, but it didn't work out too well. So- here we are!!

The beginnings...

So, here we are. Yep. Introducing Steve and Lindsey Corry!! We officially have a new blog...hopefully one that will be updated more often than our old individual ones. :)
Here is a quick and brief summary of us! We were married on March 15, 2008. We are currently living in Cedar City, Utah. Steve graduated last May with a Bachelor's degree in Psychology and Political Science. He works for Chrysalis, a home for disabled men. I am still attending SUU and studying Elementary Education. But I'm almost done! And in August, we'll be moving up north so I can take an internship in the Nebo School District! A city will be posted later...right now all we know is that it will be somewhere between Santaquin and Springville. :) Life is grand, and we love this whole married life business! :) So- here we are, and hopefully we'll be back frequently. :D
