SAT round 2 and a Little Snow

Hola, Familia--

QUICK VISIT. It's the weekend again! We got to see Angela this weekend, as she begins her Spring Break. She's going to Puerto Rico with her roommate and some other friends.(Oh, I didn't take any photos in the 18 hours she was here...Bummer!) Here's the picture we took at Christmastime, just before we headed off to church.

Internet photo,
but I should try one like this

STANDARDIZED TESTS. Kara took the SAT this morning, for the 2nd time. She says she felt better about the writing part, so that's good. It's a long test. Results take a long time to get here, too. You kind of have to forget about it, then one day out of the blue you get an email that says "your test scores will be availble online tomorrow."

PUT IT ON YOUR LIST. Frank and I just finished watching "The Finest Hours" on Netflix and I am exhausted. This movie is based on the book about the true events of 1952, the most harrowing rescue in Coast Guard history. Right off the coast of Cape Cod, here! It showed the freezing rain and snow storms of New England coast, and the horrible conditions that occurred the night 2 huge boats cracked in two and needed to be rescued. I know winter storms can be rough here, so while I watched, I shivered and froze the whole movie... and I was inside my house (?!??!). It was a great movie and an even better story of heroism under impossible conditions.

BIG ANNIVERSARY. Frank and I have an anniversary coming up in 3 months...it's 25, and for that many years now, he has said "Someday we'll go back to where I served my mission (Spain)...you'll like it :) So with this year being a big anniversary year, we decided this is a good excuse to finally go.

we got a little bit of fluffy snow on Friday

The public schools get an April Break (3rd week in April, I think...), and that's when we will go to Spain. We told David and Teresa no offense, but they will be taking finals at that time, and Kara just happens to be the lucky one who still lives at home! The 3 of us will go over--we can all practice our Spanish.

TERESA ASSIGNMENT TIMING. You probably have given up on any Teresa mission news, but she is still excited to go! Her most recent news on the mission front, is that she will be assigned this coming Wed/Thurs (March 15/16), then a few days for paperwork so maybe it will be sent out the next Tuesday after that (21st), so she should receive it at the latest, 2 weeks from now (25th).

Time for bed! Have a wonderful Sunday :) :) :)
