Summer is here!

Patrick and I are both officially out for the summer! We are so excited to be done with school and we are looking forward to the summer months. I started off my vacation hanging out with friends and enjoying the summer weather!

I went swimming with my friends Kelly and Becky and Becky's son Cooper. It was his first time in the pool and he had so much fun splashing around and kicking his little legs. He is so cute! Check out that little face!!!

Shamrock

I give two versions of a test to my statistics class and somewhere on the test it says to draw something next to their name so that I can tell what version of the test they had. So in March around St. Patrick's Day my statistics class took a test, so one version had to draw a pot of gold by their name; the other version had to draw a shamrock next to their name. Patrick told me that not everyone would know what a shamrock was, but I didn't believe him, I thought that everyone would know what a shamrock is. So as students turn in their tests, some of them had these rocks by their name with "shamrock?" written at the top. Once everyone turned in the test I asked one of them what a shamrock is and they didn't know, so we all got a good laugh out of it!

Valentine's Day in the Snow

For Valentine's Day, I surprised Patrick and took him to South Lake Tahoe. We stayed in our favorite bed and breakfast. It was snowing and beautiful. We went to a nice dinner at a great Italian restaurant. The next day we went snow mobiling. It was so fun! We took a bus to the location where we got on snow mobiles. We were in a group of 5 other snow mobiles. We got to share one and we took turns driving. It was so beautiful going through the trees on the trails. We followed the guide and they took us all over the mountain. At the top, we stopped and had hot chocolate. It started snowing and it was perfect!

When we left on Sunday, so did everyone else. It took us over six hours to get home, when normally it takes about an hour. So we inched our way out of South Lake Tahoe and back home. It was a great weekend filled with fun memories!

Manhattan Beach in January

We went to our friend, Braidy's wedding in January down in Manhattan Beach. It was so wonderful to be in warm weather in the middle of January. We had fun going to the beach in the morning and watching some beach volleyball. Then we went back and got ready and went to the wedding. It was a beautiful wedding on a bluff over looking the beach. They had perfect weather and the bride and groom looked great!!
