Ok so I am officially done with winter. If only the weather could understand that!! :) I am so tired of the cold, and snow, and ice, and big coats!!! Yuck! :) This has been such a cold winter here in Omaha.
We doing well here though. I can't believe another month has almost passed again, February is short I guess. But I am already doing my second end of the month Auction for the year with my class this Wednesday, (They don't have school Thursday and Friday because we have parent teacher conferences). It should be a fun week. :)
We had a fun Valentines weekend. We pretty much celebrated on Saturday since Valentines was Sunday. It was pretty cold during the day but we decided to get bundled up and brave the weather. I have been dying to get out! We went and walked across this huge bringe that crosses the Missouri River. We took some pictures, it was pretty and we enjoyed it! We also went to dinner at American Bistro, a restaurant we really like. it was delicious. Dave got me a new skirt and shoes that are so cute! Thanks Dave! I wore them to church on Valentines Day. We went to ward choir practice that night. :) Not the most romantic thing to do but it was fun.
This week Dave and I hung out with our friends Teissa and Casey on Thursday night. We made pizza and played with the kids. After they went to bed the boys played World of Warcraft... Oh gosh! Teissa and I did the P90X yoga. It was way fun, and pretty hard! :) I really enjoy doing Yoga. My legs were pretty sore the next day. Friday we went swing dancing with the Married to Medicine group (the married medical student couples). It was sooo fun. I love dancing! Dave and I were pretty good after the lessons. Dave hasn't done big band swing before, so it was way fun to learn a new dance. We did some country swing too. I had a blast. :) Dave had fun too, probably not as much as I did, :) since he doesn't really love dancing! Lol! But he is a good sport. And he is really good at it, even though he will tell you he isn't. Ha ha. He really picks it up so fast and has great rhythm.
We actually went to a dance last night too. We were chaperons at the Yw/Ym EFY night. We were there for the dance from 6-9. It was funny to watch all the kids dance. I have to say though, ALL my daughters, (if I ever have any!!!) anyway my daughters will wear at least knee length leggings under their skirts whenever they go to a dance. I saw 2 full on bums, when two different girls were dancing in front of us. I don't think either one even realized at all!! One did a spin and her dress came all the way up like a tutu. Lol!! I think she had on a dance leotard under her skirt. But still, there were tons of leaders sitting there. I bet 10 adults saw it! How embarrassing.
Well that's about all the interesting events from the week. School is going well for Dave, He had a final on Thursday and started a new class Friday. I had Monday off of work and Tuesday was a meeting day. So I only had my kids 3 days. And it's the same this week too, but they have Thursday and Friday off. I have a lot to do to prepare for PTC's though. Ugh! Oh well. It is always nice to talk to the students parents and see how much they care about there kids. It's fun.

August 14th 2007
Welcome to our blog! Dave and I were married August 14th 2007 in the Salt Lake LDS Temple. I can't speak for Dave, but I love being married! ~I am pretty sure he does too. :) It is so great to have someone to share my life with. We have so much fun together. We love traveling and spending time with our family and friends. Here is a little bit more about us...
Dave served a 2 year religious mission in the Dominican Republic. He then graduated from the University of Utah with a degree in business finance while also completing his pre-medical requirements. He attended Creighton University school of medicine. He started in the fall of 2009. He is now a resident in dermatology and internal medicine at University of Wisconsin hospitals.
I graduated from the University of Utah in Elementary Education. I taught 2nd grade at Bancroft Elementary. Bancroft is a great school and I loved working with everyone there. When Cole was born I decided to stay at home with him. I am loving every minute of my time with him.
We have made so many great friends in Omaha and in Madison. But we still love and miss our family and friends in Utah! We hope this blog will help them feel connected to us, even if we aren't around as much as we'd like to be. Enjoy!
