Good bye, Farewell, Provo

Well, this is good bye and farewell, Provo for good! Charles and I are ending a chapter of our lives and turning the page of our book of life :)

I've been teaching Elementary Physical Education for a Chinese Immersion Program. I taught grades 1-4 and loved it! Well, it had its ups and downs, but it was a great experience. Was so fun getting to know the kids and hearing their Chinese progress. We did all sorts of things including basketball, field hockey, volleyball, Four Square, parachute, dodge ball, Chinese jump rope and lots of tag games :) I'll miss the kids, but I won't miss that echoey gym that drove me crazy all the time. I got used to yelling but I'm glad I don't need to lose my voice anymore. But these little guys are too cute! I liked being called 胡老師 (Hu laoshi). But then again, I got called Oo loushee and Mom and gym teacher sometimes :) Will miss these little guys!





We will miss my relatives here in Utah as well. We paid a visit to my Grandpa Bill and Grandma Betty. They took in my Dad as sponsors when he immigrated to the states. We love our Grandma and Grandpa's sets of humor! So cute. 


I've taught Primary CTR 6 class this past year and have loved teaching these 6 and 7 year olds! Rambunctious at times, but love them just the same :) I'll miss them and hope they don't just remember me for my treats and cookies, haha.


And then we got to say good bye to a lot of our friends at dear Rachel Tan's wedding to Parker Teshima. It was a beautiful sealing reception at the Mt Timpanogos Temple. So happy to see Rachel and Parker tying the knot :)




The reception at night was at a place called Wadley Farms in Lindon, UT. It had a classy barn feel and was beautiful! So glad we could see friends and say good bye since we were moving.













I taught these twins, Charity and Hope, Primary. Still can't tell which is which...

I worked with Xavi at the elementary school. We'll meet up in HK very soon!

Charles and I are moving on to the real world in California. Provo has been great, but Charles is ready for the working world. And I'm ready to get back to Optometry school and get my degree :) 
We'll miss our friends in Provo, but we are very open to visitors in Orange County. Disneyland, the beach, warm weather? Just let us know when you'll be coming :)
