We went with our friends out into the west desert just before Christmas and cut down a tree. We already had two, but the more the merrier, I guess. Here is Brian with his conquest.
The snow is starting to melt off a little bit today. But there is still a good 8-9 inches. I don't ever remember this high of a concentration of snowstorms in all my years in Utah. Most of this fell over the course of two weeks. Two days ago, it was probably closer to 11 inches.
Mary went to San Antonio this month to participate in the National Council of English Teachers annual meeting where she had been invited to speak. San Antonio is a beautiful city with loads of really nice people and the conference was great. She is trying to figure out how to get to NCTE in Philadelphia next year.
Mary is glad to have finished teaching her classes at BYU until next semester. She does, however, still have to take some. Brian's big news is that he shaved his face for the first time in almost three years.
