The Ultimate WISH LIST

1. Robert Munsch BOoks!!!!

I need these for multiple reasons

1. They are stinking funny

2. I need them for when I am a teacher

3. I definitely need them for when I am a mommy

4. I love them :)

2. Cardigans

Cuz I have none and apparently you have to have them if you are a teacher it's like a "must have" and they are real cute

3. Inheritance Cycle

This is the series that includes Eragon. The series is pretty similar to Lord of The Rings, but better, except for movie form. LOTR movies are good and Eragon movie stinks

I read these books over the summer and I really really like them and would love to own them

4. All of the Harry Potter Books

Wait.. how did this get so low on the list???? It should probably be put at number one.

5. Tennis Shoes Among the Nephites books

These books are about how people go back into the time period of the Book of Mormon and also the Bible.

I love these books and I especially want them for my kids because they make the scriptures come alive and seem so much more real.

6.High Heels

Because I would love to have a different pair of high heels for every outfit.. that'd be beautiful

Now of course there is a million bajillion other items on my wishlist.... but I thought since Christmas is coming near I'd just send this out to the Internet abyss and see if people send me packages.. worth a try right???

oh... and a new bathing suit cuz I didn't get one this year :)

and maybe a cruise

and a trip to Disneyland..

Family Memories

I just am sitting here eating my dinner, I just got off the phone with Heidi and was pondering about how amazing my family is and how much I just love them. I honestly have been singing in my head our family song,:

A

l

and a b r

i

g

h

t

spells albright

never been a shame connected to my name,

albright that's me!!

(I'm pretty sure when Rachel was little Grandpa Albright asked if she knew how to spell Albright and she said "a, l, n, a, b, r, i, g, h, t... oo cute!!)

And I was thinking how grateful I was for amazing parents and spectacular siblings and how I love how close we all are. and then I had to chuckle as I remembered our earlier days:

Heather has been the cause of my spraining practically all of my fingers

Heidi used to cry just because she knew we'd get in trouble for it

When I got sick in fourth grade (like sick everyday sick) Heather and Shani used to tell me all the time that I was a faker, and then they found out a billion things wrong with me.. I hope they felt bad

Adam's the only one who has always been nice to me.. Thanks ADam :)

But we all love each other now and I am so grateful for the bond that I have my with my family, and that we are friends!!!

Paper

The other night I helped woody write a paper for his English class. He had written the paper the night before and had fallen asleep while writing it and wanted me to go through and fix some things, make sure it made sense and he wrote real words.. you know the usual.

Well first off Woody does not ask me to edit his papers very often because he says that I "write like Shakespeare" (for reals, that's a direct quote). Now really, I am not quite that eloquent, but I can say that I don't believe I have gotten anything less than A on a paper here at BYU.... but enough boasting.

I started out pretty good and even got a little ahead of myself and read the article he was reviewing to make sure I got the whole picture. Unfortunately it got pretty late and I got a little bit crazy.... My addition to the paper ended when I insisted that woody say something along the lines of

"The author lulled the reader into a sense of security allowing them to feel comfortably engaged. And then she POUNCED'.

I am not sure but either the word "lull" or "pounced" made Wood feel a little uneasy about the sentence. I'm guessing pounced since he ended up using the word "lull".

We ended up having a great time and laughing about different variations of pounce, then wood took the computer away from me, tucked me into bed and finished his paper... a typical school night at the Palmer House.

School Thus Far

School has been going surprisingly well, extremely stressful but well :) What's great about this semester is that every class I am taking and everything that I learn in my class is applicable to what I will be doing! It is a wonderful feeling. Sadly: this is my first math class in my whole entire life that I do not love. My teacher is soft spoken and I feel like I have not learned anything... but hopefully we'll start learning soon. The best thing about this year is I finally do not feel like the minority. ECE is a smaller major than Elementary Education so when we took classes with them it was normal for the El Ed girls to out number us ECE ladies. But now it is all ECE and I love it because the teacher define us as being different and recognize us for that. It is nice to know that I can make a difference and I hope I will!

Me and Wood don't get to see each other very often. Mainly mornings and nights but it's make our time together special. And I especially enjoy our mornings together when I can sometimes make him breakfast and send him off to school with a smooch.. the simple joys of life

Wood and I looked at PA schools last night. He said maybe Alabama and I said.. uh? Where's that? HAHAHA He also suggested Maine. But I personally am leaning towards Nevada or Arizona. We also looked up Master programs for me. I am probably getting ahead of myself but I would LOVE to get a masters :)

The absolute worst thing about starting school: It is 9:00 p.m. and I still have yet to see my Woody. I miss his handsome face
