A Little About Me

Here is a little blurb from our last year's Christmas Letter:



Ann, embracing her life at the big 4 0, is continually on the run. Life moves on at the same break neck speed. I team taught two college education classes this past year and I really enjoyed the challenge. I also finished up my coursework for my Masters and hope some time in the next millennia to get my thesis written. (Don’t hold your breath.) I developed and taught an ACT test preparation course last spring and keep hoping to have five minutes to get it up and running really strong. I have had so many people contact me about teaching this course I just need to quit watching Oprah and eating bon bons and get it going. (Who needs sleep right.)

This past fall I had an absolute blast teaching a writing course to Daniel’s homeschooling group. I had 11 boys and 4 girls in the class. I am also helping with all aspects of our academy and that is a big task as well. It was great fun to speak at several large education events last year. This coming year Jesse and I will be speaking at a big educational event in Salt Lake City again.

I am still serving in the Stake Primary and am also playing the piano in Relief Society. At the first of the year I hope to slow down a little and breathe some. I will be helping to coach Andrew’s Mock Trial team again but I won’t be doing any teaching for a few months (other than some ACT prep classes).

Still the main teacher for my 3 younger urchins, I am constantly trying to help inspire them to want to learn and grow in their God given talents. It is exciting to watch the children develop their gifts and passions. If you see me and I have bags under my eyes, don’t tell me I look tired just tell me my hair looks nice.
