Okay folks! What a beautiful Sunday. Sure, it was cold and there is snow outside, but it was beautiful all the same.
On my way home from church, I was suddenly overcome with how grateful I am for the sun and for my amazing black wool coat. When you put those two things together, it's a piece of heaven for the one inside :-)
I have some fun plans coming up in the next two months. I'm going to be upping my running to 5 and 6 miles. I mapped out some new running routes and am going to start on them this week - well if the weather will let me. Who honestly knows. Some of the people that I've been talking to recently told me that "they" are expecting snow into May - what?! Come on now. I believe that I can stand the snow until March, but after that I'll be okay if it goes away until next November.
I also have definite plans for my spring break. I get to spend 4 days with my friend Cecile and her new baby! I can hardly wait to see him. He was born in January, so will be 3 1/2 months old by the time I get down there. Even though that's not entirely "new born" it will be small enough for me to probably not want to leave him at the end of those four days. I will then spend the rest of my spring break in Seattle with my friend Ken. I've never been to Seattle and am pretty excited to go out there! I've been looking up some "things to do" in Seattle and pretty much my list is too long for the 3 days that I will be there. Oh well. That's why people keep taking vacations - you can never see everything you want to see the first time around - right?!
I was recently nominated for teacher of the year at PHS. I was one of 9 nominees. A vote was taken and I am now one of the top 4. Honestly, I am shocked (and thrilled)! The other three "finalists" are men who have all been teaching for 20 years or so. I am a woman (obviously) and have only been teaching 1 1/2 years. I'll keep you all posted on how that pans out.
