February has flown by!
Peter is still plugging away at his student teaching. The next book on the list: 1984. He put a lot of effort into creating a "front loading" activity for his students... this is a kind of preview before studying the book. It relates the themes in 1984 to things the students can relate to today. You can check it out HERE
We only have two months left in Arkansas...!!!
What we're reading: 12 Years a Slave by Solomon Northup. It's the true memoir and account, recently made into an Oscar-winning movie. I want to finish the book, then we'll check out the flick. Warning: it will make you cry.
What we're watching: Pete was really excited to go see The Lego Movie. We went to a cheap $4 showing. It was cute and funny.
What we're doing: Honestly... not much! Pete has been working really hard developing his curriculum, and we've just been bumming around the apartment escaping the nasty weather. We're ready for spring!
What we're eating: When we do get out, sometimes on a Saturday morning we like to go to a great local place, Rick's Bakery. They sell delicious biscuits and gravy for $2 a plate. Mmmm...

The List: January 2014
For 2014, I want to do a small summary each month of what Peter and I have been up to. What do you think?
To read: A Kind of Flying by Ron Carlson. Hilarious short stories.
To watch: Sabrina, with Audrey Hepburn and Humphrey Bogard. Romantic and funny. Classic.
To do: We got to see Peter's brother's Isaac and Ben! Stay up late playing board games like Settlers of Catan.
To eat: BBQ ribs. Real, southern barbecue.
Pete has been busy student teaching and attending to his own school work. This semester he is teaching at a high school, all seniors. The book they are studying right now is The Merchant of Venice by ol' William Shakespeare. I started working full time, still at the Montessori school. Between keeping our days busy with work and school, and balancing church callings and activities, we have been pretty successful at finding time for exercise (out on the great running trail we have) and time for relaxing. Pete is sorting out his teaching licensure for Washington state and inquiring about countless teaching and coaching positions. We are so excited for 2014!

My Dad just took a new job with Aramco, and moved to Saudi Arabia. He wanted an updated picture. It keeps reminding me that I need to take more pictures. Time is flying by!
Graduation
“When you teach a boy, you are just teaching another individual,” President Harold B. Lee declared, “but when you teach a woman or a girl, you are teaching a whole family.”
