Snow is gone, haven't had a dust storm in awhile, but air quality has been bad, and the temperatures NOT warm enough! It is also the time of the year that the students open up and reveal a darker side. Tired of the endless school work, they too are ready to burst out the doors and never look back at their teachers that work non-stop.
With Spring comes the end of various seasons for school sports...namely Scott's high-school girls' soccer. In an exciting twisting of paths this year, his team is full of superstars, and girls that work together. They've been undefeated, with 32 goals scored, and only 1 against them during the season! This past weekend they won the championship for one of their divisions, and this coming weekend they'll try to win another. This is Scott's 1st proud win of a championship!
My running continues to increase as I prepare for a 10k race this summer. Things are going very well, though I have some ankle pain after a 10.5k run yesterday. I bought a gym membership just for the winter...it's ending soon, so I hope it warms up and cleans up soon!
Speaking of dirty air....it gives a whole other meaning to "indoor recess." If the air quality reaches 300 or over, it's too dangerous to be outside. This happened a couple of weeks ago, and on the weekend too, at the soccer tournament. Both Scott and I noticed we had sore throats, and we aren't coming down with a cold!
This is all for now folks....thanks for reading! :)

Hi, Sylvia / Scott. Neat to read about the great soccer season! Isn't that so often the way life unfolds? Bright spots that shift our perspective on what was going on all along -- e.g. your earlier post mentioning that 3 parents moved Christ-ward, in the midst of the more tedious administrative aspects of teaching. Have been asking God more frequently lately to lend me His eyes to see the WOW that is always around us.
What's in store for you guys after school season this year?
Blessings upon you both.
Jim
Hi Jim!
We do have some interesting news about this summer...but you'll have to wait another week before I post it on here :) Just waiting to inform the rest of the family first.
Thanks for keeping in touch,
Sylvia
