Spring has arrived!


I'm am ecstactic that Utah is finally beginning to thaw out! The weather here is gorgeous, and I am fully committed to my gym rat "phase 2". Even though I haven't been able to work out for about three months, the cardio isn't as horrible as I imagined it would be. I am content to zone out to with my i-pod and just go! Happy Cinco de Mayo!! Tonight me and the girls will probably go to see Marcos Hernandez perform at a local club. I really love his song "Mamacita". I can't seem to find it anywhere so that I can download it onto my i-pod though. Well I'm happy to say that I'm lovin life. I found out that I will be teaching sixth grade again next year, which is great news! The big bonus is that next year I will be on "C" track, which allows me to have fun traveling throughout the year. In August me and my girls plan on a rendezvous in Hawaii with Mom and Rachel. It should be a fun summer!

Among the tulips......



Christy and I posing it up! I love all of the beautiful flowers at the temple........

I love to see the temple!



The Bountiful temple in Utah is really breathtaking. My friend Christy and I made an outing at the end of April. It was a beautiful spring day, and we really enjoyed our time there. We have made a goal to visit all of the temples in Utah, since there are so many to choose from!

The hills are alive.....



What a great view! The mountains are really beautiful in the spring......

Hangin out with the chica's......




We had fun hiking up in the mountains, there was still snow as we reached higher altitudes! We didn't have time to go all the way to the top, but it still had a lot of fun!

Hiking with the girls in the Millcreek Canyon....



Introducing the splendor of the Hogle Zoo!




I have to admit that the Hogle Zoo is not as fabulous as the San Diego wildlife park, but I still had fun seeing all of the amazing animals on a sunny spring day in Salt Lake City!

Animal crossing...
