Idaho

Well, February is gone. That's terrifying. 

All is going well on the dorm front. Admissions is the busiest we've been all year. From reviewing applications to granting financial aid - we haven't been bored! 

Luckily, I've budgeted time for some fun Idaho firsts. It was my first time on skis, yurt trip, on a snow mobile, boiling snow for water, playing hockey and addition of a new my family member.

February -Month of LOVE

Well I can't believe it is already February! Where has the time gone? I feel like it should be November- though I'm glad we are a little closer to Spring and warmer weather =)

Life has definitely been eventful in the Valley of the Sun. I'm in 3rd grade full time now and loving it! I miss those kindergarteners and it is always fun to see them at recess or walking through the halls. I've also been sending them mail once in a while, just to make sure they can't forget about me ;)
The Residence Hall has been bustling with kids- it seems strange to have everyone home at the same time for a few days since the skiers have been traveling so much. They had a competition at home last weekend and all did really well! It was great to see them do so great at home and was good for them to show us that all their hard work is paying off!
Also big news in the dorm --we have a new intern-- Melanie Palmer who attended the College of Idaho with me. It has been so much fun to have her in the program.
Honestly...it's been a lot of girl time with Melanie and Team Sarah. I'm talking smoothies, magical potato soup,  long walks on the freezing cold bike path, a day trip to Stanley, and HOT SPRINGS! And probably the most important, Coyote Muffins. I'm not going to talk about them any more in the blog; you have to come to the dorm on a Saturday or Sunday morning to be let in on this secret recipe. (by morning I mean no earlier than 9:30a.m.)
So anyway- Welcome Melanie and Happy February to all y'all!

Here are some pictures from our trip to Stanley. What fun!
