Hello World

It's been awhile.

School 
School was not so bueno this semester. Even though I was only taking 9 credits, I spread myself too thin on other things and didn't give my education the attention it deserves. Why am I so irresponsible?!

Work
We started new quality teams at work, and I have been one of the team leads of the scripting team. I love the extra responsibility, but sometimes I bring work concerns home which isn't my favorite. I also am on a company-wide service committee. It's good yet scary, because it pushes me out of my comfort zone to  coordinate with other businesses and organizations for a big day of service in July.

Coaching
Coaching the lacrosse team has been a blast. Our win-loss record is 7-2, so we've had a good season thus far. Yesterday we had one of BYU's former defenders work with the team. The girls' defensive fieldwork looks so much better! Now we need to jumpstart our offensive plays. Tonight is our team barbecue and retreat, and I'm almost afraid to sleep over with the team. I just know someone will try to pull a prank on Coach Maggie and me. I just know it.

Museum Tours
My favorite tour at the museum so far was for Alpine School District's literacy program. None of the kids (or their parents) spoke any English. It was an adventure trying to explain the exhibit: "Anthropologists say... Oh blast, that word is too big." I also loved working with the families, boy scouts, activity day groups and students that come through the museum.

P.S. - Our new exhibit on Mayan textiles opens on Tuesday, wahoo!
