The New Do

I changed up my hair color yet again. Before Christmas I dyed it pretty dark, almost black in fact. And I have NO idea why. Please don't let me do that again. Thank you! It faded to a nice shade of dark brown, which I really liked.

But it was growing out and time for some upkeep. I wanted to go a little lighter for the Spring and my hair dresser talked me into some highlights, but they were supposed to be barely noticeable, which it didn't turn out as such.

I do like that it's lighter and everyone tells me they like it, but you know......sometimes you just tell people you like their new do so they know that you noticed that they changed it, if that makes sense. Thus, I'm wondering how many of those compliments are deep down true to the heart :) Well, anyway, there's the new me! And um, sorry for the close-ups. Haha! Which do YOU like better? I need honest opinions here people!

Aerobatics

My parents were in town this past week for their Spring Break. My uncle and aunt are both pilots and so my uncle and dad went for a spin (literally) in my uncle's aerobatic plane. Here's what it looks like. Tough eh?

And here's a video of some of the stuff they did. Looks like a blast eh? It doesn't look like there is a plastic covering over their heads, that's what I though anway. How scary would that be?! I remember doing this as a little kid. My uncle took us up and we did cool stuff like fly straight up, then straight down. I remember stuff just floating in the air like you were in space. Oh, the things we remember!

My Little Sis is Engaged!!!!

Congrats to Sonya & Tyler!! I'm SO excited for you guys!

Announcing........

My school, Karl G. Maeser Preparatory Academy, will have a new building next school year. It is a two story building modeled after the Maeser building on BYU campus. And no, there will not be a moat out front :) We are all thrilled and I am mostly excited to finally have our own gym. Practicing a half hour away and having our home court a half hour away is not ideal. It will make my life much easier. We are also adding 7th and 8th grades, but I'll continue to teach high school.

Basketball Recap

Coaching season ended for me this past Thursday. Hallelujah! No, I'm sad really but it's also going to be so nice to have a break. I've been coaching for the last 7 months straight and I'm worn out! Sadly, my Varsity team didn't come away with any wins, BUT they did improve tremenduously over the season. If you're interested in our scores, check out Deseret News. And just keep in mind that my team is all Freshmen/Sophomores (except for 1 Senior & 1 Junior) playing against all Junior/Senior teams. So next year and the year after we will ROCK!! Also note that on the scores, the second time we played each team, we lost by less than the first time we played them (except the last game against South Summit). Maybe that's a sad way to look at it, but at least it shows improvement. It was a good season and at least we had some moral victories! And my Freshmen team won 1 game. Yay!

Both the boys and girls teams did the half-time show for the Flash game (minor league for the Jazz) a few weeks ago. We had a 3 point shooting contest and since a lot of my girls can't shoot that far (sad, I know....) I got to shoot. It was sweet! I swished one, bricked a few, and air-balled one. Man....... embarrassing! No, it was a lot of fun though!
