Firsts
This weekend we had some firsts. To start of the weekend, Bob went to his first "Father's and Sons" with our stake. Are you asking yourself why? Well..... drum roll please..... Bob is in the Young Mens and they asked him to go. He was a little embarrassed when he was the only one there who didn't have any children. He got a lot of questions of why he was there.
I slept at my parents house, which wasn't a first. I went to dinner at El Gallo with my parents which was definitely not a first. But it might have been the first time that week my parents had been their.
Bob and I met up at home Saturday morning and we attended together a BYU Alumi Activity. This was a first for both of us. We ate J-Dawgs near the football stadium, this was my first time eating one and it was pretty good. Then we attended the BYU baseball game against San Diego. This was our first baseball game together and it was a good one. We didn't stay for the whole game because I got my first sunburn of the year. It was a pretty good one. It was a beautiful day and I loved being outside without a jacket.
That night Bob and I doubled with Andrea and Brent for the first time. Dan came along for the food and good company. We went to the Trolley in Springville. I wish it had been my first time sitting in the Trolley part of the resturant but we didn't make it. It was Bob's first time spilling his water at dinner. My first time was last time we went to dinner with Brent. We are making it a tradition.

Quick Trip to Pasco
Bob and I made a quick trip last week to Washington to see Bob's family. It was a great weekend. It is always nice to get away from school and spend some time with family. We were lucky to have nice weather and spent a couple afternoons on the golf course.
Sticking with my plan for the Memorial Day 10k, I also ran while on vacation. It was so nice to be able to run in the morning and not after school. On Thursday I ran 5 miles, and on Saturday I ran a 10k. The 10k was super hard and I know I need to train a ton more.
I tried to run on Friday, but my new friend Fritz would not leave me alone. He stayed on my heels the first 1/2 mile so I decided to turn back. I figured I would either kick him in the face, or I would trip and face plant.
After running Bob and I did some crafting to help Shannon out. These are the cutest things ever and I am stealing this idea. I am planning on making some of these napkin rings for all of the holidays. Maybe I'll start with the 4th of July. We used ribbon and an empty wrapping paper tube to make these.
*The night before we left Emily touched up my highlights and I turned a little more blonde than expected. But I really like it.
We spent the night playing with these kiddos. Abby and Ty are the cutest kids. This was my favorite vacation with them. The past few times I have been there, they have been shy around me, but not this time. We played around with the camera, went fishing and played princesses.
We went out to eat at Outback. Bob's ultimate favorite. We ate tons and it was sooo good.
On Friday the annual Barber Golf Tournament was held. Last year Bob won and it was quite the competition this year. Levi took the lead on the last hole this year, it was a great game.
Overall we had a wonderful trip. On our way home, my car hit the big 20! 20,000 miles that is.
We are looking forward to Hawaii for many more games of golf, rook, good food, and family fun.

library linger longer
Last week library was one for stories. While we were passing the books down the line we had a little incident on our end. The boy who was taking the books from the librarian let out a silent fart. Yes it was one of the silent but deadly kind. - Let's be honest, I have someone fart really loud in my class at least once a week when it is dead silent. Everyone laughs and I just tell them to ignore it. The librarian upon smelling the fart, started laughing but the laughing turned into gagging. It stunk so bad, she had to leave. The smell didn't go away for a good 2 minutes. It was pretty funny.

My first 5K
This morning I ran my first official 5K. (I kind of ran one a couple years ago on Thanksgiving, but it was with my family around the neighborhood, nothing official.) I woke up early and was pretty nervous. Our 5K was in Lehi and it was for Miles of Smiles, or Smiles for Miles- something to do with Operation Smile.
This past week I started training for my 10K that I am running on Memorial Day with Mary. I ran 3 times and ran about 2 miles each time. So this morning I wasn't sure if I could do 3 miles without stopping. I kept telling my brother that I hoped I would even finish. He was pretty worried about me.
There weren't a lot of people at the race. There were about 45 people there. I ended up doing better than I expected.... but I know I have a long way to go. I have to do double of what I did today in 1 month.
I ran without stopping, and by ran I mean jogged. I finished in 33 minutes. So I averaged about an 11 minute mile. My goal for my 10K is a 10 minute mile or less. I'm glad I was able to do this with my brother. He did awesome and we only ran together for the first 3 seconds before he left me. He ran it in 25 minutes or so.
Dan and some of his friends that told him about the run. The girl in the black shirt was just ahead of me the whole time and it was nice to pace off of her.
Wish I had taken a pre pic when I looked somewhat decent.
We were one of the first people to get there. The numbers actually started at 400, haha.

The mystery of the flying book
***I went on a blogging spree, there are lots of posts below. Check them out.
Today I had library and we were helping the librarian inventory some of the books. My class was helping with the picture books and were lined up in a big "train" passing books from one end of the library to the other.
One of the rules was to only hold 1 book at a time.
The students were passing fast. The librarian would scan the book and send it down the line. Then the 2 at the end would put them on the shelf.
Almost at the end of the line, opposite of where I was helping *Tom was going fast and was pressured by *Ben who had a stack of books. Tom quickly gave the book to *Anna. Tom said Anna's face ran into the book, but for the amount of blood gushing out her nose, I would say it was a good toss to the face.
Now the students were in a train, and they were doing their job right. So instead of getting out of line, they passed word of the bloody nose back up the train one by one until it reached me.
After a lot of toilet paper, an ice pack, and a rest in the nurses room- Anna was all better.

BYU Grad
Tomorrow my hubby is graduating from Brigham Young University. I am so proud of him. Because we weren't sure where we were going to be next year up until a few weeks ago, Bob was planning on going to summer school for some more pre reqs. He didn't think he would be graduating so we actually aren't attending graduation. I loved going to mine, but Bob doesn't mind missing and is looking forward to Pharmacy school graduation. Which he plans on attending!
Yesterday we went out to celebrate with my family. First we met my parents and Dan at the Provo temple to do a session. We then met Andrea, Brent, Ayrika, and Grandma Andrus at Outback for dinner. It was packed for a Wednesday night. But I guess a lot of people had the same idea to try and celebrate early. It was so fun to be together and to celebrate my husband!
Happy Graduation Babe! You did it! Only 3 more years, haha.

Dad, Dan, and Ayrika
Mom and Grandma
Today in the lunch room I was in line with my class when a 1st or 2nd grader came up to me. "Mrs. Barber!!! I saw you at Outback last night. Wasn't that so fun?" I laughed and said yes, I kind of felt like a celebrity with all of the attention she was giving me. haha. I had no idea who she was. **** Oh and Mary, I saw our Math teacher Bob at Outback. Remember how he loved it. He didn't recognize me- but I had a good laugh.
