January is almost over!!

Wow it has been awhile since I lasted posted! I am going to try to be better it is one of my goals, but teaching has really taken over my world haha. I am loving the challenge teaching has brought me! It is fun when I get to be on the creative side of things! My students are awesome they know so much already and we still have half the year left, probably the most amazing part where my students have grown is in the math department. They came in not really knowing the basics like simple addition and subtraction, we had major jumps backwards and there was a lot of tears on my end. But no worries with lots of love and help and dedication from the students we have made it to where we need to be and they are awesome. These kiddos are multiplying like made and they are awesome at division! Next comes the really fun part of our curriculum fractions, decimals, and graphing data! 
As far as our home goes we had a rough fall, Zac started with AFLAC and has now moved onto work with Wells Fargo and our home has become a little less stressful and more enjoyable. We really do appreciate that we got to experience these challenges together and they have made us that much stronger. 
As far as football went this fall I think the boys did an amazing job, being as it was their first year as a team and they were mostly freshman and sophomores playing juniors and seniors. They didn't end up going to state but I am very proud of how far they did get! My father in law did an amazing job coaching those boys and I can't wait for next season!! 
One thing I am missing desperately this winter is the skiing we have not gone yet and seeing as January is almost over this is a problem....the snow at our local resort has not been the greatest and I got sick with a cold so we were unable to drive to the next closest resort which has lots of great snow. But I am on the mend and we are going to go hopefully really soon. On the bright side though we have planned a little vacation to go down to Utah in February to have a little ski weekend and I am so stoked. So if you are in town while we are there please come and join us!!
