Happy New Year!

Well, it's 2008...I can't believe it! Ryan and I graduated from high school 10 years ago. Let's take a look into the past:
10 years ago...
Gas was .99 a gallon
It was $5.50 to see a movie
Min. wage was $5.25
The avg. home price in Temecula, CA was $120,000
Pretty depressing, huh?

Ryan started back to school today. He has 4 classes this semester, but one is online. Of course all of his classes are at night so we're back to hardly seeing each other. We had a great Christmas break though and were able to visit lots of family in California and Utah. I am having fun at school trying to teach my kids about place value. It's so hard for me to teach things that are so simple to me! I just expect them to understand it. I wish I could get into their little heads sometimes and see how they are thinking about stuff. I have also been teaching them compound words which is pretty hilarious. Because of their first language being Spanish they were putting the words together backwards, like "cagebird", "housedog", etc. The best one was something out of a horror movie...They were suppose to match up "lady" and "bug" but put "buglady". Cute!
