Never a dull moment!

Well I guess you can say that there is never a dull moment in the Fulgham home! We are staying busy with school. Jared is enjoying most of his classes and is staying busy with work at the Space Weather Center. School for me is certainly a new adventure everyday. I have yet to have a day be the same. I never know what to expect, but I guess you can say that is what I love about my job. I have been told if I make it through this year I can make it through anything. We will certainly see if that is true! I love the people I work with and I have learned so much about myself this past month then I ever thought I would!
Last Friday we went to the Brad Paisley concert with Josh and Nichole. I hadn't been to a concert for almost 4 years. It was a great concert and I really enjoyed watching all of the drunk people, especially the one next to us who broke the chair she was sitting in.
On Saturday I went to Tremonton and watched the Women's conference with Tina. It was nice to focus on the gospel for a few hours. I love President Monson and think it is such a great man. I can not wait for conference this weekend!
Last night we went to our nephew Isaac's soccer game. I love watching little kids play soccer, it is always entertaining. I sure miss seeing our nephews on a regular basis.

Isaac doing his "pose". I love how he has his hands behind his back during the soccer game.
Zachary in his soccer ensemble. This is why we love our Zachary. How many kids go to soccer games with their jersey on and cowboy boots.


And our baby Wyatt. He sure loves his Uncle Jared! We certainly love going to see this little guy!
And I can not wait to go and see this this weekend. I sure miss my dad's ranch and really enjoy going home. Whenever I go home I just can't believe I grew up in such a beautiful place! I love going home just to get away from real life every once in a while.

Busy Saturday

Today was a crazy day. It started out with our niece Sammy's baptism. I can't believe she is already 8! All of my nieces and nephews are growing up and it is making me feel so old! He was a great morning. My entire family was together and it was so nice to spend time with everyone. After the baptism we came back home and got ready to go over to Ben's house to watch the USU vs OU football game. It was quite the party! We had great food and a great game! USU was so close to winning! We only lost by one touchdown which made my night. I am looking forward to the rest of the season! I am so glad it is a three day weekend so I can have an extra day to rest before it is back to school on Tuesday. I am so thankful for families!

By the way....I really miss this place....




And I really want to go back soon.

End of Summer Means Back to School

Well summer came to rapid end. We certainly didn't have a dull moment this summer. From moving into our new home in May, going to Texas in June, Yellowstone trip in July, our trip to Idaho Falls, many trips to Tremonton and Morgan, and a couple of days spent at county fairs in August I have to say that we certainly lived this summer to the fullest! I don't think a week went by that we didn't have some project or trip happening. During this crazy summer we put in engineered hardwood(pictures to come) in our kitchen and dining room and painted. We still have more painting to do, but I am all painted out at this moment in time.


This is our red wall that is now checkerboard! Jared and I got the idea from a picture we saw on the internet. I don't know if I will ever do a project like this again, but it was defiantly worth it. It only took us three hours, I was expecting us to take a lot longer to do everything. I think it helped a lot that the wall was already red and we only had to add to other colors.
Summer came to an abrupt end when school started. I officially made it through my first week of school. This was probably one of the hardest weeks of my life with many ups and downs. There were points during the day I would feel great and think I had control of my classroom, and then there were moments that I didn't think I would be able to keep going. This school year is going to be a huge learning experience. I am thankful everyday when the day is over that I don't have to redo days. It is nice know that every day is a new day and I can start fresh each day. As hard as this year is going to be I am so grateful I have this opportunity to work with these amazing kids. I really think I am going to learn more from them this year then they will learn from me. I have a great team at the middle school who have been a great support to me.

Jared also started his second to last semester of his under grad. (did I mention he is graduating in May instead of December 2011!) He is really excited about his classes. He is loving his job at the Space Weather Center on campus and is getting a lot of experience in his field.
Thanks Travis and Brittney for such a great summer! If it was watching Top Shot, getting snow cones, playing games, trip to Yellowstone, or just hanging out, you certainly made our summer that much better! (I can't wait to meet baby Chace!)
Oh yes, one last thing, tomorrow is the first Aggie football game of the season and I can not wait for the next home game that is next Saturday. With football starting it gets me that much closer to basketball! GO AGGIES!
