Hi! I hope you are having a great day. My name is Amber. I grew up in Orem, Utah, and then (after a lot of contemplation about leaving the state) went to BYU. I studied physics, computer science, math, and psychology, finally leaving in 2004 with a degree in psychology teaching and a minor in math education. I really enjoy both, and I enjoy teaching both, because it's great to see kids have that "aha" moment learning something new.

I got my job teaching middle school math after I graduated, and I have to tell you, it's the BEST job in the world! I even teach summer school because it's so awesome. Although my profile says I have 0 children, I think I have about 150 at a time--but they all get to go home and be obnoxious to their own parents.

In the future, I plan to continue teaching, go back to school (I'm an education junkie). I can't decide if I want to get my masters in education, my masters in counseling psychology, or a law degree. Someday I will decide. Long-term, my educational goals include getting a phd in something.

I just bought a condo, so I'm pretty much permanent in Orem. It's a fixer upper, and my family is being WONDERFUL about helping me with sweat equity to fix the place up. I'm learning so much about owning and remodeling a home--demolition, tiling, painting, kitchen stuff, fixing bathrooms, laying floors, etc. It's been a total thrill.

Most of my hobbies and interests evolved through other people--I love my family, and I love kids.

I am an avid crocheter--I have made so many things from baby booties to clothing, to blankets, and other such nonsense. I learned to crochet when I was young from friends, but really got involved after my grandmother died and I inherited her crochet hooks and knitting needles.

I also like photography. I was in yearbook in high school, where I learned to use an SLR from on of my BEST friends (he was so patient). It was so fun, I bought a used Nikon my senior year, and learned how to use it. The camera was stolen a while ago, but I still use a disposable one when I want fun photos (until I save the cash for a camera).

I really like learning new things. My mom is a teacher, and, well, I inherited her love of learning and teaching. I learn so much about the world aroung me, and I love to hang out with kids of almost any age because they open my eyes to things I would never notice.

I also like to be outdoors, shop, hang out with friends, talk, and get to know new people. I'm looking for friends, so I hope you will contact me. Have a wonderful day.
