Well, Indoor track season is officially in full swing. Last weekend we competed at NDSU in Fargo, ND, and this past weekend we were at Iowa State. We left Thursday afternoon and just got back Sunday morning at 6am!
Next weekend we have a lot going on. Friday we have Montana State, Saturday Concordia in MN, Sunday we have our annual pole vault clinic, plus a multi competition Sunday and Monday in Aberdeen, SD. I am only going to the Montana State and multi meet, but it'll be a long and exciting weekend for sure!
This weekend at the meet, one of my female high jumpers missed national qualifying marks by 3/4 of an inch!! So I have big hopes that she'll get it soon! One of my guys did well also; he jumped 6'5. Our sprinters and other jumpers did well also, so it was nice to get a solid meet under our belts.
Schoolwork has been very hectic lately. My classes are only 5 weeks long now, which makes time go very fast. But most of my courses from here on out are business management, which I took a lot of in my undergraduate degree, so hopefully it won't be too stressful.
I'm at the library now, working on a 4-5 page paper, and I better get back to that!
Miss and love you all!
Love,
Amy

Back to the Real World
Well, things are back in full swing here in North Dakota. Work has been, well.. work! And track practice has been going well so far. We have a meet on Sunday in Fargo, which I am super pumped for because it's really the start of our season. 7 weeks til conference!!
This past weekend, the school had an Athletics Staff Christmas party. It was a lot of fun, and it was great to finally get to meet some of the other coaches and GAs.
The weather was pretty insane last week. It got down to -25 degrees, without the wind chill! It was so cold, I'm not sure how I survived it. The weather has been alright this week so far, and it's supposed to get up to 38 degrees tomorrow! It still hasn't been very warm. I think today it only got up to 17 degrees, but it feels like a darn heat wave and I am certainly not complaining about that!
Since I got in trouble last time I updated, I'll mention it now - miss you, too Craig! :)
I can't wait to go home again and see my family. Now that track is starting full swing with meets, I'm hoping that the time goes by very fast! I also start class again this week, so that will keep me plenty busy as well.
Miss you all, and can't wait to see you again!
Love,
Amy

Happy 2010!
Well, it's 2010, and I'm on my way back to Bismarck. It's so cold here.. It's going to take me forever to get used to it again!!
Being home in Ohio for 2 weeks was amazing! I got to see my niece and nephew, and the rest of my family. But it was sooo hard to say goodbye to all of them :(
Rodney can roll over now. He can only go from his back to his stomach, and he only does it over his left shoulder. He hasn't quit figured out how to go from his stomach to his back yet, so when he rolls over he gets so frustrated on his stomach and starts crying. It's so funny how frustrated he gets, but I'm sure he'll figure out soon how to roll back over!
Halen has her first tooth! It's so cute and tiny. She is sitting up very well by herself now, also! She's such a big girl! Halen's new thing is giggling, and I just love her little laugh. She will just sit all day and laugh. She cracks herself up, and it is so funny! By the time I see her again, she'll easily be walking!
Everything else at home is going well, also. Talked about more plans for Melissa's wedding and tried to figure out a time for me to come home for her Bachelorette party and Bridal shower. It's really hard to plan a wedding when I'm a thousand miles apart, but we're doing as best as we can!
I got to see my Tiffin friends for NYE, and that was definitely a crazy time, of course! We haven't all been together since August (except Mel couldn't be there:(). But it was nice to get most of us together and spend a wild time together. It was definitely a blast, and I am going to miss them so much!
I'm struggling with the idea of going back to work Tuesday morning - it was so nice sleeping in for 2 weeks! Getting up so early will definitely NOT be fun!
Well, I better get to work on putting together some workouts for this week and doing homework!
Miss you all in Ohio, and I can't wait to see you all again!
Love,
Amy
