The view from my front porch this morning

Well...February has been busy, busy. Lucky for me, in so many good ways. Middle School basketball started - I am coaching the JV team. We are 3-1 right now! yay! and we are having so much fun. I never knew I would love coaching so much and that it would be so natural...being back in the gym is unbelievable. We recently took the girls to a UW womens basketball game. They were on a 12 game losing streak until they beat UCLA last friday. It was a great game...harry the husky definitely was a highlight...although he touched my leg...akward.



My roommate Alicia's birthday was this month as well. We celebrated at mamma melinas - delicious italian food. Of course I ordered the risotto, mmmmm. There were 15 girls and then Alicia's brother...lucky guy! :)





Sadly, I did lose a friend to Denmark. Emily and her husband moved to Denmark a couple of weeks ago and I have missed em so much! What an adventure. I can't wait to visit.

I'm also preparing to take a team of students to the Dominican Republic in the beginning of April. I am beginning to get excited as we meet and plan out our time there. It has been stressful though organizing everything! So much work taking 26 students out of the country! :) I'm definitely looking forward to the sun and heat. It is so cold here right now.

In fact, it snowed last night and so we are on a two-hour late start. Oh, if everyday we started at 9:45...I could get in yoga, make a good breakfast to go with my homemade latte, read, blog, shower and take my time getting ready! It was exactly what I needed this morning! Thank you puget sound convergence zone!



Off to start the day...on a better foot than yesterday! Yay for snow!
