The weather in Vancouver is finally nice and by nice I mean mid 80's and great. I have ten more days of school and I can't wait for this year to be over! It has been stressful with two teacher leaving on 'medical leave'. One just quit last week- 15 days from the last day of school and the year he was retiring. I just don't get it. Some people really do not like Brian, I think he is a pretty good principal- when he is not commenting on my tan that is. :)
I bought Joelle's airline ticket yesterday. It was $2.39 after I applied my amex points- so I was pretty happy about that. She is getting excited and I guess I am getting nervous. I have to take her to the DMV and get an ID card which will make it easier for her to fly.
I really like her new soccer team so far. The coach is great about parent input and has a website where we even vote on things- what tournaments to do- what color under armor to get. She has been enjoying it.
My diet is going well, except I have limited options on what to wear. I now weight the least I have since Joelle was born and I am still working on it. I am finally getting some muscle definition in my arms and that is nice. I also have developed a two-pack - ha ha ha. If I keep up my cardio and my weight training I should be able to get down to where I would like to be. I would like to weigh what I did when I met Mitch. It is about 15 pounds less from what I weighed in high school and 20 lbs from now.
I got an iphone and I am so addicted! It is amazing. It has my caledar, my music, a gps and navigation system, a diet program- I input what I eat and how much I exercise and it calculates the calories for me-a camera, full internet access, a recipe guide, pandora radio, google earth, famous quotes to look up, a tip caluclator, a regular calculator, my budget stuff, my email, everything- I can look up the nearest hospital or restaurant, movie times and all that- plus did I mention it is also a phone?? These are the things I have found that it can do- but I have only had it a week and haven't really gotten that many applications.
Mitch is doing well and is thankfully staying on day sort.

We had our team meeting tonight for the new team. Looks like it is going to be much more competitive than the old team. The first three weeks of practice will be all conditioning- that should be good for Jo.
I had my game tonight. I scored and we won!! We have four new players on my team and they are all very nice gals. I do have to share this though. After the game one of them thought looked really familiar so she asked what high school I went to. So I said Fort and she said oh me too! And I said what year did you graduate and she said 1999. Best compliment ever.
Joelle is going to Arizona for a week with her friend Taylor this summer. We just got all the information for her trip. Looks like she will have a lot of fun.
