Back to School

The kids and I are in the midst of our first week back from break.  I don't know about them, but I'm flippin' exhausted!  I've gone home each day this week to my ever so inviting bed for a long cat nap...and I've slept like a baby every night!

My break was really nice...very relaxing and low key.  I was nervous about the ten day trip to Dallas (only because I wasn't sure about ten days with mom), but all went better than expected.  The small version of our family (mom, dad, me, and Jodi) had a really nice time together.  I enjoyed cooking, being quite lazy, practicing a little yoga at my old studio, reading, and seeing my girlfriends.

It was nice to get back to Colorado though.  I was glad to have some time to hang out here without having to be in the scurry of work mode.  I went to Winter Park with a group of friends (who I work with) and we had a blast!  I skied on Saturday and had my first try at snowboarding on Sunday.  I loved it!  I decided to "be the skier/snowboarder" as my mom always advised us about anything new or scary we tried and it worked out quite well.  I figured that if I just throw myself into it, I'd have more fun trying that way...and I did!

Anyway, I'm off to teach this morning.  It's been really nice to be back with my kids...I really love my class and truly missed them over the past couple of weeks.

Here are a couple pics from Winter Park:


Here's to a Happy New Year!  May good things come to each of us!

Much love!
