BRRRRR


Don't worry Amy, we are not warm and cozy, this morning as I went to pick up Matthew at school, it started to snow a lot. I am so tired of this, please spring come already.

Snow in April?!

So to make all you southerners feel extra comfy in your warm homes... Starting @ about 7:30 PM Friday night till about 10:00 AM Saturday Edmonton had a huge massive snow fall - so we were back up to our ankles in snow .... sad part about it is that it was over one night! It is now almost melted (there are still some patches left) - but that is the wonders of the spring in Northern Edmonton! *Cross your fingers that there wont be snow on my birthday again (there was still snow on my birthday 2 yrs ago).*

ONLY ! MORE WEEK OF CLASSES - Then a week of Finals - the SUMMER!!!!!!!!! WOO HOO!!
Then I only have 4 weeks of classes before I go and do my student teaching, and then graduation!!!
Then a trip to Europe (Europe here I come!)!

Secret Society Member Wanabe

While visiting my favorite site when bored, I ran across this post about secret societies. Imagine my surprise when I actually did know of one of them. I know I'm not a UVA student but I've displayed my interest


What I figure is, who would you be least likely to be in a secret society? The one talking about it? No one would ever suspect me with an obvious display of society interest. Anyway thus far I haven't heard from them.

That being said I thought this might be a good time to share some pictures from my visit to Virginia.


Typical tyrant picture that Randy told me I needed to do in the Rotunda on the UVA grounds



Visit to Thomas Jefferson's house



Smithsonian Museum American Treasures, I was a little surprised to see the sand stone there. Thought it was kinda cool.



Theresa and I at the Capital in Washington D.C.



A stop at the Lincoln Memorial



A view of the Washington Memorial from in front of the White House



In front of the White House



At Natural Bridge. This is the only picture I have with Randy from the trip. Just wanted to prove that he was there. He was nice enough to act as a photographer for me and let me use their camera.

I also visited Grandma and Grandpa while there but those pictures are located elsewhere but check out my Blag. That was in front of SVU, obviously. Anyway I had a good time and would recommend the visit to anyone. Randy gives quite the tour of the grounds and they know the cool places to visit. Thanks.

(P.S. as I was labeling the pictures I realized I'm not 100% on the places we visited. Sorry if something is wrong)

April Fools

Ok, I just have to say, that you got me grandpa. Didn't even cross my mind that it was a joke. I immediately called Jeff and told him that I was bummed. So good job.

New banner

I love the new banner as well. Who is that dark mexican imposing in the back?

April is Here

And with the beginning of this new month comes the offical unveiling of the new banner! Thanks to Kris for sending in this picture, as well as a number of others, which will undoubtedly appear in the months to come.

I hope that April is a good month for all. Here in sunny Virginia, things are really starting to look like spring. Theresa and I went out last week and took some pictures of the blossoms that are everywhere here in Charlottesville. I almost wanted to use one for the banner, but Kris' of all the grandkids was too hard to turn down. So, I'll just share the pictures in this post. Happy Spring everyone.
