A minority...

Today was the last day of our quarter, so I went to lunch with some of my students. I caught a glimpse of what it must be like to be the minority. I can't say that I liked the feeling! I never knew what any of them were talking about and my brain ached trying to keep up with the conversation. They are a delightful bunch and I am really going to miss those that won't be there next quarter.

Ryan came with me one day as part of a 'job shadow' for his school. He loved meeting my students and hearing them speak. I had each of them write him a note in their language and he was thrilled to get a sampling of their writing - especially the Cambodian script, it's very interesting.

Here he is with Rodrigo (from Brazil)


and Sam and Hap (both from Cambodia)

I'm looking forward to another quarter - I really love this job!

They were totally in to it.....

Only in Utah...

Only in Utah can you go from skiing on Tuesday to golfing on Saturday. Ryan's school had a ski day so Steve, Em and I joined him and had a great time. The weather was perfect - jackets and no gloves. Ahhh, the perfect ski day.

We were exhausted - and our faces got fried!




I took a trip to St. George with some high school friends last weekend. We had a riot and it was so good to get away and laugh until my stomach hurt. We always have a great time together and there is never a dull moment.

We thought we were pretty cool on the golf course, but really? We weren't so much.

Laurie gave up on traditional putting and opted for a 'billiard style' putt.


She sure looked cute, though...

Nat had beautiful form and a mean swing.... and no clubs were bent or thrown!



Cristy likes to point at things while having her picture taken. She made an awesome 'golf pro'.



The course was gorgeous!


We also shopped and spent way too much money, ate out and consumed way too many calories, but it was an awesome trip and I'm so glad I went. Thanks to Cristy for her hospitality and putting up with us!

Love this guy...

I missed this game, but apparently my favorite guy was at it again.

Calling all grammar geeks....

Happy National Grammar Day!

I'm thinking of getting this shirt....



Cute, eh? It says: Everyday, is national Grammer Day - but it's been 'corrected' with a red pen. Me loves it.
