I told Ben that I absolutely HAD to check my blog before I go run (for the triathlon that I'm doing with the majority of people who read this blog....) so obviously, I'm going to procrastinate that as long as possible!
Here's a quick...er, long... list of updates:
Ben is playing on 3 soccer teams (1, 2, 3...Th-u-ree!), a CRAZY good football team (there are 2 ex-BYU football players (ex meaning last season) and 2 semi-pros), basketball team, wallyball team (although he doesn't want me to tell anyone... oops), and an ultimate frisbee that gets together every Tuesday. I'm doing basketball again (yes, we are trying to defend our Championship... and yes, I did capitalize that), wallyball, and 2 soccer teams (upper division.... yikes). You'd think I was in shape or something....
Teaching at Montessori is going great. It's a lot to get used to because everything there is SUPER organized but I love it. Good news: I got a raise a week after starting there and was offered a salary position in the afternoon!! Job hunting is finally over. Basically, I get paid hourly during the morning because I'm still training with the Miss A but since I'm the head teacher in the afternoon from now on, I get paid on a salary!
I got braces.
.... oh wait, what? Yeah, I got braces a few weeks ago. I was so worried when they were put on because they didn't hurt at all! I wanted to call the ortho and let him know that I thought they were broken.... Anyways, he says my teeth are actually pretty good. I only need braces for 1 1/2 years. No expanders, spacers, rubber bands, head gear... none of that really fun stuff.
Training for the triathlon.... not happening really. Ugh. Let's be honest, I don't want to do it... BUT at the same time I do want to. Sorta. Oh well. With a month left to train, I at least know that I can do all the events.... whether or not I'll be dead last is still up to debate.
Funny story: I was telling Ben about the shirts that Ashley is making for the triathlon. (cuz if anything, I'm going to do this tri just for the free t-shirts)
Ben (totally oblivious): Oh... is that because it costs extra for more letters or something?
Trina: Umm.........
The end.
GAH!

hey stranger....i don't even know what to say since i just talked to you but i want to comment you gracing us with your presence on the blog. that story about ben was so hilarious! anyway...come see us again soon.
hey, nice update. You are so funny. I have to meet Mary Anne to go jogging in an hour and I'm thinking that the last picture on your blog looks pretty good right now. Actually, I'm debating climbing back into bed with Jonathan. haha. I loved the story about Ben...and congrats on the raise and the TON of money you are making now. I should have had you sponser me on this Triathalon! :)
Haha! I love Ben. He cracks me up.
Thanks for the update. I've been debating coming out a week early or so that way I can get more acclimated to the altitude there. I'll let you know.
And speaking of the triathlon, yeah, it'll be WAY fun! I'm so excited I won't be the only person who's outta shape! What was I thinking, post-mission to tri-shape in less than two months...
Hooray for braces! Some people have all the luck though. I have all the bad luck--expander, spacers, and bands. How is it that you miss all that? AND it looks like yours will be off before mine. Do I sound jealous yet? Regardless, I'm proud of you!
I've been wondering why you haven't posted in OVER A MONTH! Now I know, you are insanely busy! Makes me tired just reading it all. Someday you will be a grandma and wondering how you ever did all that. It was good to hear from you again. I'm glad things are going well. What age kids do you teach? How do you like teaching?
