This week has been my spring break and it feels wonderful to spend some time at home. Dave's parents came up last night with his sister and her 2 kids and we had a nice time. It was a good excuse to get things cleaned so that I didn't spend the rest of the week thinking about how I needed to take care of it. The following picture is Dave playing a game while on the phone with his parents trying to coordinate last night. I just thought he looked cute in my dad's old national guard hat so I had to take a picture. You can tell he was pleased ;)

Anyway . . . I started teaching Math just before spring break. The book we were given to use is pretty good and I'm enjoying it. I've got some ideas that I will probably start using later on but right now I'm hoping to reduce my stress and worry less so I'm putting off working on school stuff until Friday and I figure whatever I get done, I get done and it will be good enough. I'm also enjoying the time I have this week to spend with friends that I feel like I don't get a chance to talk to except rushed conversations on Sundays. I used to be a good friend and I feel like I don't get to be anymore because I get spread so thin that I end up being self centered when I do get to see my friends. Sorry friends!
Our lives are pretty boring right now so I'll leave it at that. Tanya . . . I will post more of Dave's work later this week. He's working on a really cool painting right now and started another one at school so I'll post them when he is done with them.
