Today is Vetran's Day. . .it seems to be one of two government holidays that school is in session, bummer. Oh well. My brother goes off to boot camp in six weeks. He's a brave man and I know that he will honor our country and himself.
Don't forget to think of the vetrans and soldiers today who sacrifice much for us!
God Bless America!

Red, Red, Red
Last Thursday, many fans rushed the University of Utah football field after winning against TCU. I did not rush the field (I have this thing about crowds), but my heart swelled up with pride, I HEART my Utes.
The Utes face two more teams and hopefully will go undefeated.. . .I mean, I hate BYU so much! I have some students who are the smuggest little BYU fans and I would love to rub Utah's win in their face (What? I teach Middle School and you think I'm a grown-up?). I told my students that if Utah wins the game, no homework over Thanksgiving Break and if BYU wins then they get extra homework. . you would not believe the fair-weather fans that BYU has at my school. . . . ha ha ha.

This Day is Lame
I am a bad teacher today. I usually have a lot of spunk at school. Energy is my middle name. My students do not leave my class without a joke (sometimes at my expense), but today, I'm just BLAH. My students are quietly working while I'm sitting at my desk typing this blog; ah! just the way I like it.
Why? Why, Cambria? Why are you so BLAH today? I'll tell you why! Because of this! . . .
She looks sweet and innocent, right? .. She is, actually, but she's a little puppy. Her little puppy bladder can't hold it all night. So, like an infant, I am up in the middle of the night letting her out to go potty. Now, you might not know this already, but Cambrias really don't do well with no sleep. They get grumpy, they snap at their husbands, they drag and basically, if allowed, will curl up into a ball on the floor and cry. .or pass out, whichever comes first.
God bless my little dog. Course, she's not only to blame. Our new empty house, in all its glory looms at me whispering at all the work that is in store for me now that I am responsible for it. Stupid adulthood.
If anyone needs me, I'll be asleep at my desk.

He Left Me
After only a month of marriage, my husband has left me. But don't worry, I got a house.
Stuart is currently in Cedar City for a conference and Sawyer and I are getting up at 5:30 a.m. every morning so we can get to school on time. We are sleepy people.
Good news though. I wasn't kidding about the house. Stuart and I are purchasing a lovely white brick home in my ol' hood in Murray. It is awesome and I am so excited about the prospect of not having people living on top of me and hearing them walk, talk, watch T.V. and. . .go to the bathroom. Our new house has FOUR, count them, FOUR bathrooms, a huge kitchen, a beautiful fenced backyard, and is right down the street from Sawyer's future kindergarten. We are very happy people right now! HOORAY!

WOW!
It's been a while. So much has happened! Now, I'm back in school, I'm moved into a new house, I'm married, I'm a stepmom, and most importantly, I got a haircut! For those of you who know me well, I am a gal who likes her long hair. My hair is now as short as it was last when I was nineteen-years-old. New house, new husband, new hair, I suppose.
How is married life, you ask? I love it!
How was the honeymoon? Fantastic!
How was the wedding that I spent seven months planning? The best day of my life. I had all my loved ones around me, everyone had a great time dining and dancing and most importantly, I was calm ALL day (My bridesmaids will tell you differently, but for me, it was calm).
I love my wonderful husband and my beautiful new little boy. I highly recommend marriage if you have found someone you like. There is nothing like it.
Now. . . back to school. How did this happen so fast? This had to have been the fastest summer of my life. Planning, packing, and running around like a crazy person (maybe that's why I like marriage, I'm suddenly not being pulled in so many directions).
Now I'm just running around like a crazy person at school instead of everywhere.

I Have More To Say
How could I go through the rest of my life and not mention the Highly Successful Shopping Adventure of Katie n' Cambria! Do I even need to tell you where this adventure took place? Why the greatest store in the world, NORDSTROM! Down in Provo at 6:50 a.m. Four hours later we left with such greatest in retail I can't even detail it all. I did buy a pair of riding boots, oh so comfortable (Stuart, watch out, there might be jean tuckage involved this fall) and the cutest grey mary janes! As the shoe-expert at my school, I'm only obligated to give the fans what they want!
Trust me, I purchased and I purchased well. I won't tell you exactly how much was spent, after all, Stuart reads this blog!
However, we did make a little wager. I have promised no more shopping in 2008, but if I slip I am not allowed ice cream for six months. To you this might seem like a some thing, but ice cream is like air to me! I am determined to keep up my end of the bargain, after all, Cold Stone just came out with a new flavor call "Heaven in a cup!" Blueberry Muffin Batter. I crave it with my whole soul. I better stop talking about it, or I'll need to abandon work to go buy some.

The Twelve Days of Matrimony. . and Bittersweet Memories
So, I am the biggest blog slacker in the universe this summer. . .and by the way, what happened to my summer. I have spent hundreds of hours packing and planning and next to no hours reading. No bueno! Oh well.
Well, it is upon us. Twelve days until I get married. AHHHH! So many emotions, so much to do, so much time still until my honeymoon (I won't be blogging then either!)
This has been a bittersweet month. My BFF, Katie and I are moving out of our cute "girl house" (Thanks, Erica!) and in the words of Monica on Friends "have to live with boys" now. Weird. Both of us are highly excited (at least Katie is going somewhere warm), but I think that the experience of living together has been priceless. I shall miss Katie, our long midnight talks, watching fashion and make-over shows, going to Olive Garden for soup (Katie) and salad (Cambria), having our own little runway shows in our house, and laughing together being silly.
Here's to us, K-Fab! (Our cell phone minutes are about to increase extensively!)
Love ya! C-Note
