So Random

This men's size 11 brand new shoe showed up on the lawn of the junior high. Every time someone comes to the office to ask if we have the item they lost I offer up this shoe...it's funny every time.

I have really great visiting teachers who almost always bring me something when they come visit. They don't have to do that, but I really like it when they do.

On February 13th I delivered these Valentine treats for some co-workers and the book club girls. I finally gave Amie a Christmas present! And I gave a co-worker a birthday present.

This school year Whitney has a fun new group of friends (cue choir of angels) and she actually invited them over to play games (for some reason she doesn't ever want to do this). It was a smashing success!

Whitney is on the honor roll at school so while passing the cabinet with the names I snapped this photo.

This is what a typical car lunch looks like for me, it's basically my half hour of Zen in the middle of a crazy work day.

It's February, our tulips shouldn't be growing like this yet!

Ew!

We're pretty sure Junie cat is pregnant and due the end of March (we're excited). She's super loving and will often come sit on me while I'm reading or watching TV.

My mom recently picked up some food from Wendy's and came to my work so we could have a car lunch...I rarely have those with anyone anymore now that I don't have to work 5 days a week.

Junie allows all sorts of smothering.

Amie and I have been getting together every other week or so for lunch on one of my day's off.

Our weather this "winter" has been wonderful. January and February have flown by and I really think it's because it's been sunny and semi-warm instead of gray and cold like it usually is. It's amazing what a difference this makes in my soul.

Miscellany--Phone Style

It is already time for Whitney to register for her 9th grade classes (how did that happen so fast?!). She applied (along with 110 other kids) to be in the yearbook class. This involved getting two teacher recommendations, submitting 5 photos she'd taken, and filling out the application questions. (I'm happy to report she got in!)

Whitney and her friends were standing outside the office one day during lunch time so I started taking pictures of them.

Amie's daughter Jessica is a senior in high school and is also enrolled in beauty school so I scheduled an appointment to have her give me a manicure. I've known Jessica since she was 4 so it's kind of crazy that she's so grown up now.

Michelle and I met up with Collette for her birthday lunch on February 6th.

Michelle and I went to Pebbles in My Pocket after lunch and found all kinds of cute things (I am addicted to tags) and ended up buying stuff to make Valentines.

 I love coming home to find Landon doing his homework!

Saturday February 7th was so glorious that Whitney and I read outside for an hour!

 Junie basked in the sun next to us.

Randy and I went to dinner at La Costa with Adam and Amy while the girls hung out at home.

My visiting teaching companion and I did a 3 minute stint on visiting our sisters regularly during our Relief Society Visiting Teaching Conference. I had Randy make this poster for me to show how we're all connected through visiting teaching...I love it!

Sometimes you just gotta take a nap horizontally across the bed with your feet hanging off and no blankets or pillow...what the?!

Our Valentine making day was a success! Michelle made treat bags for her visiting teaching people and a bunch of cute Valentines to mail. I made treat bags for my co-workers and book club friends.

I got this funny Valentine in the mail from Natalie S. It's the only one I got.

I read in the cozy every day, this time Landon stopped in and grabbed my phone for a selfie.

We read Man's Search For Meaning last week for Bookclub and all loved it. I'm always reluctant to read non fiction and concentration camp type books because they're so rough on my soul, but this was super inspiring.

I gave this bottle of cuteness to my Secret Pal.
