A Winter Poem

My mom sent me this beautiful winter poem, and I thought I would share it with everyone, it's very well written and I hope that you enjoy it too.

'WINTER'

Crap.... It's Cold

The End

Missing Phoenix

Today I am really missing Phoenix. My car got stuck today in my work parking lot. It took over an hour to get my car out and only after someone towed it out.

Christmas Tree

We went up to Idaho the Saturday after Thanksgiving to cut down our Christmas tree.

Notice the knee deep snow that I am walking through. Not cool.

Here we are in front of our tree, before cutting.

I am the one who had to cut the tree down.

All decorated....

Phoenix Muddy Buddy 2010

Well we went to Phoenix last week to do the muddy buddy race. This year I did it with my sister in law, and Chris did it with his same buddy from last year. I won't bore you with the details of how slow I was at completing this race, lets just say it was bad, and embarrassing, but I finished and I am counting that as an accomplishment. Now for the photos....

I'm committed!

Or maybe I should be committed. I have committed to do this.

The race we are going to do is in Phoenix in November. I have to admit that I am so excited to go to Phoenix and get out of the cold that will start to come very shortly. But I am so out of shape, this is nothing new, but I am worried about being able to finish this race. Also it is a mountain biking race, and for those of you who know the story, you know that I had a bad experience mountain biking about 8 years ago and have not been on one since. I am so nervous about that part, what if I get hurt? Oh well, but here is my other commitment. I am committing to exercise EVERY DAY until the race. I know that I can do this. I will need to manage my time better, which is something that I am horrible at doing. So there, if anyone is reading this here it is, I am going to do this.

"What Teachers Make"

Someone sent me this video awhile back. I want to share it here because this is how I feel about teaching.

Capitol Reef September Addition

Chris and I went to Capitol Reef for the weekend with his Jeep group to do some off-roading. It was an excellent time and we got to see some parts of the park that we didn't get to see when we went down in May. It's amazing to me that you can drive a few hours in any direction, in Utah and get totally different scenery.

'nuff said

We took the long way home and stopped at Goblin Valley. It was a weird place and when I go to placed like that I always wonder what the ancient people in the area thought about it. It is something interesting to think about.

I'm pooped, time to hit the gym.

I'm glad to have my weekends back so that we can go do fun stuff like this more often, too bad that the winter will be here before we know it.
