March madness has nothing to do with basketball...

I realize I am not the best at blogging, but I certainly love to read other blogs. Sometimes it really is hard to live far away from family and friends but I feel closer to everyone when I take a few minutes to read some of their blogs.
This last month had been super stressful--by the time spring break rolled around all I could do is melt into a puddle and watch food network in my pajamas.(that is not all I did. It is all I wanted to do though). In faculty meeting a few weeks ago my principal said that March Madness has nothing to do with basketball--everyone goes crazy and everything can go wrong!
In the month of March some interesting things happened:
-I was injured at work and had to wear my arm in a sling for a while. Thankfully the bruises have cleared up and I have minimal scarring.
-my whole entire family came up to Idaho Falls for my birthday. 7 people in a 2 bedroom house. It was so great to have everyone here. We all went and did a session at the temple and played games all night at my house.
-I participated in march madness for the first time ever. I had one of my special needs students help me fill my bracket out. He picked Villa nova for the championship. I never even knew Villa nova existed. My total score for the bracket was in the low twenties. At least I know who to turn to if I need help keeping score when I golf!

My "new" dresser.

-Jake refinished our whole bedroom set. It was all old ugly second hand furniture with dings and scratches so he painted them a dark red to match our wedding quilt. I love it! He also made me a vanity. It's great to finally have a place to stash all of my stuff without trying to fit it under the old 1930's bathroom cupboard.
-I survived a case of h1n1. I literally slept for 3 days in a row. Feeling much better now!

I am so excited for summer! It feels like this will be the first year in my life that I won't be heart broken to be away from school. Expect many blogs about gardening, home improvement and travel. Just kidding. I will be spending my summer in my basement, playing angry birds and re-reading Harry potter. :-)
