Student Teaching News + Jake's Birthday

I got some exciting news this week about my student teaching adventures starting this fall.  At the school where I'll be student teaching, they have a building called the REC that's run entirely by student teachers, and they have elective classes for the kids there: things like Leadership, Creative Writing, etc. Well since it's run entirely by student teachers and our semester doesn't start til 2 weeks after the kids actually begin school, the school needed student teachers who would be willing to start the school year with the kids and be paid substitute wages for the first few weeks until the rest of the student teachers began their semester. I let the principal know I was interested, and I just found out I received one of the positions! I'm gonna be a PAID TEACHER (only for 2 weeks) BUT STILL! I'M SO EXCITED!! 

Along with that exciting news, this week's fun event was Jake's birthday! He's finally 24, and I'm not such a cougar anymore haha! I surprised him with his favorite homemade cake and presents, and we went out for dinner at a new (to us) Mexican restaurant in Rexburg. It was SO GOOD and also pretty cheap, so we'll definitely be going back again!

Jake LOVED his birthday present! I did pretty 
well picking it out ;)

Jake's favorite chocolate cake is not only
yummy, but SUPER EASY to make. And
I made it healthier than the recipe normally
calls for, without sacrificing any of the taste!
We were both thrilled!

The biggest burrito I had EVER seen. Jake was
a happy guy!
