Spring 2010

Spring is here... so at least we think so, I can't really tell anymore under all of the SNOW!
Then end of March was super exciting in the life of Lindsey:) It all started when during a routine assembly:) My Principal says "Lindsey I volunteered you." Well this is no surprise since I am the newest and youngest teacher on staff. The assembly was in support of the Utah Grizzly Hockey Team, Go Grizz, and why not put her in the assembly. The plan was for me to be the goalie and if the random student could make the shot against me they'd win a free ticket for the entire school for a game. If I won then well I got season tickets... really we know what I did:) haha Yes Tara, I did let the kid win:) haha So we had tickets and me and a couple of friends went to the exciting game, it was also Happy Hour night and I don't know what I watched more, the game or the drunks:) haha good times

Then next day my friend Nancy invited me to go to the Festival of Colors in Spanish Fork. Honestly I have never experienced anything like this! It was so much fun and I recommend it to all, and plan to go again next year:) Being covered in chalk, standing up against complete strangers and singing Holi Krishna at the top of your lungs, ya nothing beats that!

After I took a long shower getting 90% of the chalk off my body, Sarah Jensen and Kate Lloyd convinced me to go to the ward talent show. More than that they asked me to be in their skit... My talent you may ask, I can hit a spoon to a bowl to a beat. I know I know its pretty amazing. That isn't even the best part, one of the MC's lovingly made a comment on my outfit, saying that I reminded him of captain jack sparrow... hmmm ya I felt awesome! haha
Next big event, Michael Buble' #2. yes for this was the second time that Michael and I have been together. Once when I was 19 and now at 23. It was amazing! A parent ended up with some extra tickets and asked if I would like them... well duh we know that answer:)If Nicole Baxter was here she would have died:) Especially when he made his way through the crowd, just for me haha but alas she is in D.C. serving the Lord:) I will send pictures:) hahaha It was so awesome!

Then I was able to go home for Spring Break! I can't believe I am drawing near the end of my second year of teaching! Time flies by! I had a blast in Idaho, I love my family! How grateful I am for all of them and their examples in my life! I especially love that we can laugh and laugh:)
I don't know what is going to top all of this, but Aunt Mary I am planning a trip to Vegas to see if that will come close:) haha

Hockey and Hawks

Today was a great day! I was able to go to a Grizzly Hockey game and watch a Hawk show. For those who don't remember last year I taught Kindergarten with an amazing lady, Vicki and she is a falconer. It is really neat, and she will bring in her birds for a show. This year was really cool because I was able to fly the birds in the classroom... It was going really good until the bird landed on one of my students heads! haahaha he did so well and was so calm, I am pretty sure I would have freaked out!

The other cool thing that I was able to do today was go to a Grizz Hockey game! I loved it and I might be addicted! There was a big fight between two players and the refs just let them duke it out! It was so cool! I am for sure going again. Also I swear Sarah Jensen and I get this comment anytime we are together, "Are you sisters?" and tonight the lady in front of us was like "are you to twins" I say it is because we are so stinking good looking! haha
