Hiatus

I took a bit of a hiatus from blogging, and I'll be taking a bit more of one while I'm in the thick of my first year teaching, but I forgot that I never added a picture of the awesome graduation present my mom made for me. It is a quilt of all my favorite t-shirts representing my life since elementary school. There is a Brookwood t-shirt, Brighton High, USU, BYU, BYU Jerusalem, U of Phoenix, 5k's including the Willie Walk, half marathon, travel shirts from when I went to Ghana), concert shirts, and more. She did a very thorough job, and I love my gift. My mom is so talented. It really is beautiful... as beautiful as the meaning and time that went into it. What a meaningful treasure, and since it acts as my bedspread now I get to enjoy it every day.



And pretty much all I spend my time doing now is teaching and prep for teaching. But as part of our prep week in going back to school the staff went rappelling at Camp Williams (not a bad way to be paid). And a very attractive picture (does anyone look good in a harness?) was taken of me, as shown below.
