February

It's February 1st.  Time for another update...

We did get our car back, but now it's making a very high pitch whine when I accelerate.  I took it in today for a look and it will cost another big chunk to fix the alternator and tensioner.  Now I just have to decide whether to fix it before or after it breaks. 

Shaylie has been doing well with her Girl Scout Cookies.  Last count was 362. She's starting to make me nervous.  I'm trying to avoid long deliveries.  There's one more neighborhood that we need to hit and then we're done.

Scott has over 500 miles on his bike so far this year.  Pretty amazing.  At this rate, he'll have 6000 miles by the end of the year.  Or he'll be dead.

I'm finally starting the Newsletter part of my new job.  That will give me an extra four hours a week.  Last month, I got a grand total of 36 hours for the entire month.  Yay!  The extra will help.  I am also going on a College Tour with our students later this month. It's a two day trip to BYU, UVSC, the U and Weber.  I've heard they're pretty fun, but I'm reserving judgement.

Taylor had big drama at school today.  Some dumb kids decided to set one of the bathrooms on fire.  The prinicpal offered a reward and they caught the culprits.  Tay said they were searching through kids backpacks, but she was not on the police list to search (We're so proud!) The kids got expelled and the bathroom is "ashy" so it will be interesting to see if it is in the news or anything.  She was very excited about the whole thing.

I am also really looking forward to Super Tuesday.  I'm very excited and interested by the whole Presidential Campaign this year.  I'm rooting for Romney and I think he actually has the best chance against Hillary but I also find Obama very intriguing.  I think Hillary would win against McCain, but I predict McCain/Obama with Obama winning in November.  Can't wait.

Parade of Homes starts Feb. 15th...I think it goes two weekends now, but it is always on President's Day weekend for sure.  This is the beginning of my favorite time of year in St. George.  February, March, April and May rock!

Love to all...we'll post again soon.
