Here's Where "Home" Is

I got these pictures from my mother.  They are of my Grandmother's home in NC.  It is so beautiful there!  I would love to live there again someday.  And I'm sure you can see why!

Still Home

Even though I only lived in Mt. Airy, North Carolina until I was 8 it still holds a place in my heart.  I've got my mom sending pictures of Grands house.  I'll post those later, but for now, here's a link with some amazing photos on it of "my home town".

New Favorite Place

I have a new favorite place!  It's in American Fork Canyon.  I also think I experienced a little of the joys of hiking.  What beauty! What peace! I found hiking a very spiritual experience and enjoyed every minute.  Granted we didn't hike very far and it wasn't very hard, but I would love doing it long and hard!  It's too bad that the weather is turning cold.  But, I have heard that snowshoeing is pretty exciting and I look forward to trying that also.  Next year though...as soon as the snows gives enough and it isn't too muddy I plan to hike.  Really hike!  Maybe even do some camping.  Who knows...I could become a mountain woman! ha!  Here are some pics I took with my phone last weekend.

Parent Teacher Conferences

Tonight was Parent Teacher conference for my two little girls.  The are 9 and 6.  The first meeting was supposed to be at 5:36....how they come up with these times I do not know.  The other was supposed to be at 5:48.  I got to the first classroom at 5:30.  The teacher had just taken another family into his class so I sat...and sat...and sat...and at 5:47 left him a note and went to the other class. And I sat...and sat...and at 6:10 got in to see one teacher.  I then went back to the other classroom and rescheduled to come back at the end of his day at 7:24 for another chance.  I got there at 7:20 and ... you guessed it...I sat.  I finally got in to see him at 7:45.  Turns out my 9 year old needs help with reading.  I'm glad I went back.  He was very kind.  Even though I had to wait forever it as worth it.  He is a good teacher....a good person.  It's good to know my daughters are in good hands.
