windmill, then out to the overlook (if you've been to visit, we've probably taken you up there). We felt so good that we decided to do it again this week... we took a different trail out to the side of Gooseberry that overlooks the highway - about 18 miles. I'm riding up hills, over slick rock, and through rocky, muddy patches. Andy's a great coach! I'm getting better at downhills, but it's still a scary proposition. Today we saw TONS of other bikers (nice weather for the first time this week) and even got complements on our bikes...I believe the word was "sexy". Funny, huh?Had a tough week at school, beyond the normal "last full week" nonsense. We had a student who collapsed during PE Wednesday (one of my girls from 6th period) and she's currently in ICU at Primary Children's Hospital (SLC), and on the heart transplant list. Tuesday she was just a normal, happy, bright little girl... very sad. Anyway, the students at our school had a choir concert on Thursday night, and they did a "little" fundraiser for Abby - $2000.00! They have a goal of $3500 by next Wednesday. We are sooooo proud of them! The part that makes it almost as hard is that her mom is a (GREAT, GT interested, fun) teacher at our school. She was actually not at school on Wednesday because her older daughter was scheduled for knee surgery...our hearts hurt for her!
Andy was out camping on the Arizona Strip (aka Grand Canyon-Parashant National Monument) with his internship team, collecting seeds! He goes out again this week...We are going to an open house for David West (photographer extraordinaire!) this evening in Springdale, and then to a concert in the amphitheater there for Lieto! Voices, a choral group I'm considering joining in the fall.
Hope you all are doing well and getting ready for a great (but busy) summer! :)

Wow, that is very scary and sad! I hope Abby improves and is able to get a transplant.
Mountain biking sounds fun. I haven't done that in years. We still have 3 weeks of school! Luckily we have many days off in between.
