Park City

Well, we're back from our little vacation to Park City. It was so fun, and very relaxing! We did lots of things...including getting most of our Christmas shopping done!
We also went to the Olympic park, from the 2002 Winter Olympics. Neither of us had ever been there before, and it was quite fun!


A couple of olympic buffalo?

We're awesome skiiers!

Olympic medals...pretty cool!

Us in our condo

Yay for vacations!

Well, it's UEA (which is actually called Fall Break these days...) I am very excited, because my Tracy and I are heading to Park City today for a long weekend. Granted, I should probably go to some of the UEA conference in Salt Lake...my bad! But we are certainly going to enjoy our time off together. Maybe I'll post some pictures, if we get any good ones!

He's a geezer!

Well, today was Tracy's birthday. He turned 30! I always give him a hard time about being so "old", hence the title! He got pretty spoiled by my family today. But that's okay, I think he needs it. He's a great guy, and deserves to be spoiled once in a while (no doubt he agrees!).

School Rocks!

I have now been in school for several weeks. And it's going so well! I really like my class, they are great kids. They are sixth graders, so of course they like to chat. And chattiness is one thing I struggle with. So they are teaching me to loosen up a bit. But thing are going great, and I'm hoping it continues this way!

Wow, I have a job again!

Well today was my first official day of work! Yay, it was all sorts of exciting...actually, it wasn't. It consisted of sitting through a meeting all day. But it was the kick off of school for me! My classroom is almost done, which is a huge surprise to me. I could post pictures of it...not that I'm sure people would care...oh well, maybe I'll do it anyway!
In addition to me having a job again, Tracy got a promotion at work. Which is just great for him! I think he's pretty pleased about it too. I know he deserves it, because he sure works hard!
Keep a look out for those wonderful pics of my "out of this world" classroom...ha ha

My Turn

Okay, I guess it's my turn to do this. My cousin had this on her blog, followed by my sister. So I'll do it next! It's like that game Scattegories, and you use the first letter of your first name to answer all of these. They can't be made up words, and you can't use your own name for the boy/girl name. Good luck, let's see what we find!
1- What is your name: Hailey
2- A 4 letter word: Hand
3- A vehicle: Hummer
4- A city? Hurricane
5- A boys name: Harry
6- A girls name: Hilary
7- A dessert: Ho Hos
8- An occupation: Herbologist
9- Something you wear? Hair piece
10- A celebrity? Heidi Klum
11- Food? Hamburgers
12- Something found in a bathroom? Hair brush
13- Reason for being late? Headache
14- Something you shout? Help!
15- An animal? Hippo
16- A body part? Hand
17- A word to describe yourself? Hilarious (of course)

Driving me crazy!

So, Tracy and I have been getting our house unpacked and liveable. Wow, it's so tough to get it all ready to go! We still have piles of stuff sitting everywhere. In addition to trying to get our house ready, I've been getting things together to start my first year of teaching. Talk about lots of important stuff put together at one time. All I hope is that I get everything taken care of on time!
