Months End

I can't believe this month is over already. It seems like it was Christmas just last week. I guess time goes by faster and faster the older I get.

I took my German students on a field trip this week to Siegfrieds downtown. It turned out really well. My students had a fun time. Hopefully I will be able to recruit more students for next year. I currently teach 3 German classes and 3 US History classes. I enjoy teaching both of the subjects, so I am not sure which I would prefer, but since I am the only German teacher at the school, I want to make sure there is still a need for me by increasing the enrollment.

Our house is getting close to put on the market. Steve has been working on updating the bathroom. He took off all the pink tile and is about ready to re-tile the bath surround. We will get rid of the green toilet and get a new vanity as well. Once we are done we will put the house on the market, and hopefully it will sell quickly, but I am not keeping my fingers crossed in this market!

Body World

We went to go see the Body World exhibit in Salt Lake City yesterday. It was very interesting seeing what the inside of the body looks like. Mariane seemed to enjoy it and she wanted to get an anatomy book. Paul did not like it. He got bored very quick. We decided that we should start taking the kids to museums once a month so that Paul will get use to it. We really want to take a trip to the D.C. area, but as long as Paul gets bored at museums after five minutes, we don't want to spend the money for the trip Hopefully he will learn to like going to museums.

Back to School

I had a nice Christmas break spending time with my family. I enjoyed seeing Steve everyday. The hardest part about my teaching job is that I can't see Steve everyday. I guess that is just a sacrifice we will have to continue to make for a couple of years so that Paul doesn't have to spend the whole day in day care.

I am excited to go back to school, though. I enjoy teaching and I enjoy being around my students. Tomorrow morning we will be back to the grind!

New Year's Eve

This year Steve had the night off. We invited LeiOna and Joel and family to come over for dinner and games. I must say, that I do not enjoy staying up. I hate the way I feel when I am forcing myself to stay up and I also hate the way I feel the next morning. The kids actually slept in a little bit the next morning, but I still felt horrible. At least it is only one night a year!
