Catch up

Once again, waaay too long since I last blogged. I'll do my best to recap the exciting winter months since September.
In October, I made my first trip to Moab with my family. It was so much fun. I am proud to say that I survived a somewhat scary and very bumpy ride on Hell's Revenge. Almost everyone in the family was able to go (minus Cole and Norm, since Cole was in the choir that performed at General Conference). One of our favorite trips and I believe we are planning on making that an annual trip.
Perhaps the most exciting thing was the birth of my 3rd niece: Ruby. She is just perfect and such a cutie! She was just blessed 2 weeks ago and is already getting big! Now I'm so excited for my 4th niece to be born in May to my other sister! I LOVE being an aunt.
For the holidays I mainly was with my family at my parent's house. We had lots of games (including a new family favorite - Rock Band), lots of food and fun. I have the best family and have the most fun with them.
Since the New Year, I have not had anything too exciting to speak of, just teaching away - trying to make sure my students get all of their content for end of year testing!!
I have been pretty engrossed with the Olympics however. My favorite people/moments so far: Evan Lysacek winning gold (so tall dark and handsome for a male figure skater!), Hanna Kearny's gold in women's mogul, men and women's half pipe, love Simonn Ammann (Swiss ski jumper, he is always so enthusiastic it's hard not to be too), USA hockey beating Canada, and not a favorite moment, but certainly memorable was Nodar Kumaritashvili: the Georgian luger who was killed in training the day before the games. Very tragic and sad.
Now, just crunch time until the end of May and then SUMMER VACATION!!! I can't believe how fast this school year is almost over... Hopefully I'll blog again before that.
