Oh man… this is the third draft of my 2015 Year in Review post. This has been a tough post to write. While there were some nice highs, there were some tough lows to deal with. My Health: 2015 was a much healthier year for me than 2014. I started Field Control Therapy in … More 2015: Year in Review
I actually started writing this post a couple of weeks ago but things got pretty hectic over here. A perk of being a teacher is having time off during the summer.

Here is the highlight reel… I met up with an old classmate from high school while he was in LA at the beginning of the month. Although we weren’t really close back in high school, we’ve been connected on FB for … More August Left Me Exhausted
Oops… I never wrote this post about our last day in Phoenix at the Science Olympiad Summer Institute. This final day was pretty low key since the conference was scheduled to end at 11:30am. We decided to extend our stay by one day so I could relax and enjoy the resort with the family. The … More SOSI Day 5: Catching Up
