Olympic Blues

Oh, Olympics! I am not sure what we are going to do now that the Olympics are almost over. We have been glued to the TV for the last 2 weeks. It has been fun to watch the excitement of the games and better yet it has been a good distraction from the gloomy weather. I feel a bad case of the "Olympic blues" coming on!

Olympic Highlights:
* Shawn White's 2nd run in the medal round... Sick!
* Alta High Alumnus and Cheer leading teammate, Lacy Schnoor, placing 9th in the aerials
* Rochette skating for her mom
* Lysacek taking the gold for men's figure skating
* Woman's Bobsledding
* Of coarse Apolo Ohno!!!

2002 SLC Olympics


***Senior year my high school had a lottery to win tickets to the 2002 SLC Olympics. Ironically, Robert and I both one tickets to the Woman's Biathlon. It was a very memorable day.... I would like to say that's where our love began but it still took us 5 more years to figure it out!

"Great" Grandma!

This week was my Great Grandma's 103rd birthday.. (I know.. I am going to live forever)! She is such a sweet and special person. Growing up we called her "Garden Grandma" because she always (and still does) had a beautiful garden in her backyard. When I lived in Provo I would visit her every week. I miss our visits but I love thinking back on all the stories she told me about her years as a teacher. She is truly inspiring. Love you grandma!!! xoxoxo

NYC Moment

My friend and I decided to hit up a Broadway last night. Everything was sold out because of the winter break so we put in our names into the West Side Story lottery. My name wasn't pulled out (my lucky streak is OVER) but lucky Carissa pulled out so we had front row seats and it was INCREDIBLE. We decided it was one of our favorite NYC moments!

Girl/Cousin Time

I convinced my beautiful cousin Erin to come down (or up??) from Boston for a girl's weekend. Our boys were studying/working and we were in need for some girl time!!! It was a blast ....

Just when I thought my kids were going to drive me crazy... my coworker whispers in my ear "school. cancelled. tomorrow. snow day"!!!!!!! I gave her a big hug and yelled I WILL SURVIVE!

Chancellor Klein Announces Schools Closure Tomorrow
Due to anticipated inclement weather conditions, all New York City public schools will be closed tomorrow, February 10, 2010. All after-school activities, PSAL events, and all other events taking place in school buildings will also be cancelled. While travel conditions to school in the morning may not be difficult, the weather is expected to worsen as the day progresses, complicating dismissal. We are making this decision today to give parents as much time as possible to make alternative plans for tomorrow.

Princeton

Our friends planned out a surprise group date for several people in our ward. They wouldn't tell us what we were going to do but they did tell us to dress warm and to be prepared to have fun! The surprise ended up being a visit to Princeton and a ice hockey game. We were definitely surprised and we had a lot of fun. Princeton's campus is by far the most beautiful campus I have ever seen. Robert enjoyed the hockey!

Quotes.. Anybody????

I love this girl (my sister in-law)! She is beautiful and has a heart of gold. You will never see her or leave her without getting a great big hug. For being so young she is already so driven and self motivated. It makes me love her even more that she loves quotes and has quotes all over her room. She emailed me for some more quotes to put on her wall. I thought it would fun to get my fellow bloggers favorite quotes to give to her. So,

ADD YOUR FAVORITE QUOTE... YOU KNOW THE ONE THAT YOU HAVE READ A THOUSAND TIMES AND IT STILL INSPIRES YOU! THANK YOU IN ADVANCE! XOXOXO
