Cinemark Movie Club

About a year ago, I was at the movies and they were advertising the Movie Club.  It sounded kindof stupid, but decided to sign up.  It costs like 11.00 a month, and you get a movie ticket for that 11.00.  Plus you get NO online fees for purchasing tickets.  I think you can purchase up to 6.  You also get 20% off concessions and earn rewards.  

We have been going to more movies.  We have seen a few good ones.  The Accountant was great.  We also saw Anaconda and Crime 101.  Tonight we saw Solo Mia.  

It is such a great thing.  It just gets you out more to see a movie.  I love the app too.

We got a large popcorn and two large drinks.  I had a reward for a free drink, so we got all that

 for $12.00.  

Been thinking of going to the Oscar Movie marathon.  For 40.00 you can see all the movies that are up for an Oscar.  I think there are like 8 or 9.  Great deal.  I probably won't see all of them, but it miht be fun to watch them all.  

Spirit Week

We have this weird spirit week.  Teachers have a theme each day and we don't tell the kids.  Monday was construction day so we had on flannel shirts and construction vests. These are the people in the lunchroom with gear on. I'm the second from left.  In my safety vest I got at Harbor Freight.  Yep $5.99

Tuesday was wear an apron day and I don't have any pics of me at school.  This is the best I could do.  I got this at Walmart and I think its pretty cute.  I have wanted an apron for a while.  

Wed was anything but a cup day.  We have drinks in the faculty room and we are to use anything but a cup.  Here's my cup for the day.

This is kindof stupid but I didn't know what else to use.  I did have a vase to use but they don't have a lid.  When I got it at the Dollar store, the guy said 'oh I got the lemon one because I thought they were so cute.". Seriously from a dude at checkout.

Thursday was Scarf day.

That is my scarf if you can tell that.  I hate scarfs.  

Friday was tacky tourist day

Shirt in or

Shirt out.  Brooke said in.  (I really should clean up the bathroom if I'm going to take these pics in the mirror)

I decided in because I had to use my fannypack.

Cynthia (sub that we like), Me, Raquelle, Tina, Christen  all participated.

It is so dumb and soo fun at the same time.  

-25 this week - Jack's email from Alaska

What up everyone. Another week down this week was pretty chill for the most part I would say. It got super cold this week so that was lowkey buns but that's alright. I am covering in the same stake as Luke from the outdoor boys so that's pretty tuff. But let's get into the week..

2/24: today we had district council which was hecka fun today. We did all that meeting and stuff and talked a lot lol. We then afterwards went and did stop bys after. We had a member meal at this one dudes house and it was good. Then we went and shared a message at another members home. That was good and they gave us cookies so that was tuff. I was hecka sick today so that was buns though.

2/25: we had two lessons today one with a member and then one with our friend and that was good. My comp lowkey spit hecka false doctrine but he didn't notice so that was good. We ended up just doing a lot of stop bys for the rest of the day. We then just had dinner at our apartment

2/26: we did service this morning which sucked. It was like -20 and cold and brutal everything hurt it was bad. But we did all that and did some stop bys and then weekly planned so that was good. We then had dinner at this Polynesians house and it was so good. 

2/27: we went to girdwood today which is like an hour away so that was cool and it's hecka pretty there. We got a door slammed in our face so that was chill. We had the ward party tonight here so that was good. Got to talk to a lot of the members that we don't know so it was a good day. 

2/28: my comp was sick today which he probably got from me lol. So we didn't do work today just a lot of phone contacts and it was honestly a long day for sure. We did go to our members meal and have some bussing ribs so that was clutch.

3/1: it's march already which is hecka crazy. We went to church in girdwood which Is a tiny little branch so that was cool. We meet in a catholic church building so it's hecka dope. We had break the fast then went home, and then we taught mission prep today so that was hecka cool. 

 Spiritual thought

Mosiah 4:6 

Yea, and how is it that ye have forgotten that the Lord is able to do all things according to his will, for the children of men, if it so be that they exercise faith in him? Wherefore, let us be faithful to him.

Mitchell fixing all the things

Mitchell has a woodworking business.  He is crazy busy and does such nice work.  We hired him to fix some stuff in our house.  The second drawer front was broken off for the last 7 years.  Mitchell fixed it and fixed the drawer above it that was starting to break.  It is so nice to finally have all the drawers with the fronts attached.  

He also fixed this piece on the banister.  We do need to paint it.

He fixed the back door that has looked like this for about 10 years

The door to the garage hasn't shut all the way unless it is dead bolted.  I asked chili to fix it long ago, and all he did was take the plate off and that made this situation worse splitting the door frame.  

Mitchell cut the bad out, and put this piece in.  He needed it to dry so he needs to come back and drill out the place for the plate.  We have to be very careful to shut the door and not let it slam until he does that.  It is soo great to have the door shut and not have to be locked.  

Look at that door shut

I come in the front door or up the stairs and I see that poster of Jack.  I miss him so much.  He is doing the Lord's work in Alaska.  10 months.  Love him and miss him.

Cleaning out at School - 32 years of stuff

I have been teaching for 32 years.  Yes that is a long time.  I started out teaching Human Biology, Biology and Physical Science.  This is my Human Biology stuff that I haven't taught for 27 years.  

It has been sitting in my room for that long, I decided it was time to get rid of it.  I am NOT teaching that ever again, and if I did I would need more modern material.  Each of these binders are a Unit.  

calendar to plan each unit

Yellowed tape 

Overhead notes

My list of videoclips from a Laser disc player.  We were top notch in technology with a laserdisc.  

Guided notes for each student

Sat for so long they are stuck to the binder.

This is how we use to take tests.  Scantron.  This was from 1996

My lecture notes. .  

My favorite - The heart

It is a bit nostalgic to look at all these and reminisce how much work I put into those lessons and they have sat for 27 years.  Too old to use now and Old font and Overhead projectors that we don't even use now.  Getting that much closer to retirement or I could be dying wanting to get rid of my old stuff.

GPS Theory - Good one to live by

 My friend Janel shared this on Facebook.  I really love this.    No judugment just a new direction.  Good to remember and live by. 

It's cold again - Jack's email from Alaska

Hello everyone! How are you all doing? I am doing well here in Anchorage and in my new area! I am with Elder Beaty who is my new comp now. Not gonna lie didn't know how it was gonna work with him the first couple of days but somehow we have become very good friends now! He is so funny. A little quiet when we go and talk to people but when it's us he is so funny.

This email is going to be short cuz I'm lowkey hecka sick so pray for me cuz I don't feel good.

Well some highlights were that Kevin came to church this week and we had a lesson with him which was pretty good. We talked about come follow me for this week and it was chill. I lowkey such at explaining things so my part of the lesson was kinda chopped but that's okay.

Well it's safe to say that I miss palmer still and the members up there. So far it seems that the palmer members were just so much more blessed than the Anchorage members here. Anchorage roads are super icy that's for sure. I swear I'm sliding every 10 seconds here. 

Spiritual thought: 2 Nephi 2:25

 Adam fell that men might be; and men are, that they might have joy.

 That's pretty much all I got now. Send me an email! Love to hear from all of you!
