Christmas Letter

December 31, 2009

Well, it is now December 31st and I never did send out my Christmas Cards with my annual Christmas Letter.  Sigh!  I’m trying so very hard to be a grown up and do those type of grown up things, but life just keeps getting in the way.  Between working two jobs, Christmas hub-bub, and fighting [...]

Home

December 29, 2009

It’s funny.  When I think of “home” I think of a few different places. I think of the dry desert of Utah – my home state.  I love the “dirt” and browns.  They feel warm and comfortable.  Which is weird that I like it, because neither do I like to be warm, nor do I [...]

The Lights on Temple Square

December 28, 2009

With all my swollen face and pain, I realized that I stayed in bed and didn’t move for about a week.  And then before all this happened I was crazy busy working two jobs and getting ready for Christmas that I never posted some photo’s I took of the Lights on Temple Square.  Here are [...]

Letters from Students

December 16, 2009

Most teachers probably love getting letters from students.  I don’t.  I know, that is weird, but true.  Every time I get a letter from a student it is because that student is writing me from jail.  (If you didn’t know, I work at a school for Youth-in-Custody of the state.) You see, they have lots [...]

December 13, 2009

Live Nativity

December 12, 2009

This year, my youth group at church performed a live Nativity for the fourth year.  It has become a bit of a tradition.  This year, we performed in 6 degree weather.  I was surprised that we were able to do it without too much difficulty – our voices didn’t falter too badly. Even though I [...]

When it is THIS cold outside . . .

December 11, 2009

So, I love winter.  I really do love winter.  It is my favorite season. So, this week every single day has reached below 10 degrees.  And we’re not talking about being 6 degrees in the middle of the night, but 6 degrees in the evening while I’m standing outside singing Christmas Music (but more on [...]

Romeo and Juliet

December 4, 2009

Every year I teach at least one Shakespearean play.  My two favorites to teach are Taming of the Shrew and Romeo and Juliet.  For many reasons, we don’t read the original Shakespearean text.  We read a modern version of the text.  My favorite to use is the No Fear series.  I know that many people [...]
