Distant memories

Just last week at this time I was basking in the warmth and sunshine that Phoenix, Arizona provides. I hadn't been there since Brian and I moved from Mesa in june of 2008. It was nice to go back and see things that looked familiar, however, I would probably get lost there now. The best part about my trip was that it was a reunion with 3 of my best friends. We get together every year since we're all spread out. We had such a fun time, taking pictures, getting pedicures, watching movies, eating good food, and most of all, just hanging out, talking. It was so nice to catch up with them. I wish we all lived closer together so we could see other more often. I've been back for a week, but it seems like forever ago.

Most of these awesome pictures were taken by my "roommate" Tiffany, who is a photographer.

It was an irresistible event.

The Fabulous Four!

I'm here!!

Spring Break is here!!!

This last week has been crazy with anticipation for spring break, on both my part and my students. I need the week to recover my patience. The weather, however, doesn't seem to know that it is supposed to be spring. I was able to ride my bike to school on Monday, before the cold weather and snow set in. Since then, I've just been looking forward to the warmth that my trip to Phoenix should bring. I am so through with winter.

Mad about stripes

This weekend I got the urge to do some sewing. While Brian was at his EMT class I went and got some fabric. I was unsure exactly what I wanted to make, but when I saw this zebra print fabric, I knew I wanted to make a purse (because every girl needs a zebra bag, right Kirstie? :). I'm actually pretty happy with how it turned out (not bad for my first purse). I even had fun playing with the different stitches my machine does (see first picture). Now I need to decide what my next project will be.
