Back to Real Life

The holidays are over and it's time to get back to real life. We had fun visitng family and traveling all over the state of Utah, but it is time to buckle down and get back on schedule. Brian and Leah go back to school this week (which I'm secretly glad about-2 weeks is long enough. Brian will need to find something to occupy his time this summer or I might have to be committed-Oh the joys of being a teacher:-)). It is nice to look back on the year and look forward to what is to come. Here are some of my memories and things I am looking forward to.

10. Spending another crazy summer between Las Vegas and Ogden
9. Surving Girl's Camp
8. Being told by one of my students that I was one of his favorite teachers
7. Witnessing Annie receive free french fries from Arby's.
6. Watching Leah learn how to write her name
