Back to School

It's been awhile since I've blogged about the new married life of Katie and Brandon. Here is the latest.

Trip back to Yuma:

Brandon and I had a very interesting time coming back to Yuma. We decided to take 4 days to drive back instead of just 2 this time. We had a pretty uneventful time until our car broke down in the middle of New Mexico. After the check engine light came on, we stopped to find out that we had "lean" fuel and might need a new fuel filter. We made it back to Yuma on time, we just needed to take more breaks. We were just glad it wasn't something like the fuel pump. Thank goodness we have smart dads who can calm us down and help us figure things out.

School Starts!!

Brandon and I started back in District One 2 weeks ago. Brandon is still working as a Para at Gila Vista Jr. High in an Autistic Classroom and I am still at Gwyneth Ham teaching music. Things are going well so far. The kids are loving calling me Mrs. Tharp instead of Miss Ballard. They get a kick out of it!! It's so cute!! One of my favorite things so far this year has been teaching the kids there music rules as a rap. I downloaded a rap instrumental track from iTunes and had them rap. They love it!!! Brandon is still taking classes for his PE certification. He is starting his practicums and hopefully will be finished by the spring of 2011.

Future plans.....

Now that we are married everyone is placing bets on when will get pregnant. Brandon and I are not planning on starting to "try" until next year. Brandon's teacher claims that we will come back from Christmas break and be pregnant. I want in on that bet!! We want to spend this year getting to know each other as husband and wife and get out of debt. We want to get back to Minnesota as soon as possible.

The end...

Alright, that's all for now. More to come from the hottest place on earth!! It was 117 today. UGH!!
