Still Alive

It's been a busy month so far. I accompanied my mom to LA two weeks ago where we bought 12 packages worth of fabrics, trims, and other stuff for the opera. I also picked up some more scarves, skirts, and jewelry. We had a great time and managed to tire ourselves out in the process. ;) The day after we returned, I spoke in Sacrament Meeting. Valentine's Day came and went, along with the winter session of night school. I'm now in-between sessions, which means a break from that job, but I've picked up more time at the opera getting things ready for the upcoming season. We got a new student from Iran at school last week and we're working to get her situated. She's at a different place than Rolando and Jr. so it's been a juggling act trying to balance three students distinct needs and two teachers. It was a welcome break to have a day off this past Monday but the time went way too quickly. Life continues to go on and on.....andI'm still alive and kicking.

Another February Birthday

Happy Birthday Jennifer!!!

Today's my sister-in-law Jennifer's birthday. She's married to Jared and they're the parents of Ashley and Landon. Jennifer's a great wife, mom, and sister-in-law. I'm grateful for all the help she provided when I was going through college. It was definitely a blessing. 

Happy Birthday Jen! I hope it's a great one!!!

 

Hanna Marie

Happy Birthday Hanna Marie!!!!

 

My niece, Hanna, is 6 years old today. I think she's pretty darling. Don't you?
Hanna is an awesome big sister, quiet and contemplative, and has the legs of a ballerina. (That makes the fact that she loves skirts that twirl even cuter!) Happy Birthday my sweet little Hanna. I am so blessed to be your aunt. I hope you have a fabulous day!!!

Groundhog Day

Happy Groundhog Day!

Just in case you missed it, Punxsutawney Phil did not see his shadow this morning, which means the end of winter is just around the corner! To celebrate, I think I'll go to LA. Wait, I'm already going headed there in a week. HUZZAH!!!

In keeping with the Groundhog Day theme, I thought I'd share a little inspiration from the classic Bill Murray flick. Well, this isn't actually from the movie, but the song is and the video is classic. Enjoy!

Happy February!

Welcome to February!!! (rabbit, rabbit, rabbit...)
We're already one month into the new year. It's crazy how time flies. I'm looking forward to a good month. Next week I'll be heading to LA with my mom and Patti for a little shopping trip. YAY! I'm pretty excited about escaping the icky winter we've been having and getting to spend some time in the sun. The day after I return, I'll be speaking in church about the "Love of God". I'm also looking forward to that. Following my trip, it'll be back to the usual grind but the trimester will be nearing completion, which is a good thing for many a student I know. :o)
I hope you all have a great month and just think, spring's not that far off (for those of you who can't stand winter. ;o))
