OK since I told a silly story last week I thought that I should also share a really sweet story. We have been talking about the earthquake in Haiti in my class a lot since it happened. We are collecting money as a school to help the people. One day I brought up some pictures on the smart board of Haiti and the damage the earthquake has caused. The student's were getting really involved in the conversation, and they really want to help the Haitians. As we were looking at the damage one of the boys in my class, Alejandro said, "Mrs. Wright, is it alright if I cry?"
How sweet!! We talked about how when we learn about sad things it is alright to cry. He put his head down in is hands. I don't think he really cried but it was very touching to see my class, full of 7-8 year old children so touched! They are such caring kids. It is fun to see them thinking of others, who they have never met and being so compassionate.

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!
