Some amazing northern lights tonight. So of course we couldn’t help but do some fun poses.

Hooray!!! Happy book birthday Kaly (and Justin!)!! 🎉🎂 So excited for you both!
While traveling, I chatted with a stranger, & when she found out I was an author, she asked THE question: Would I know any of your books?
Friends, I showed her my covers, & she actually DID KNOW (& thankfully loved) one of them! BRAVER THAN BRAVE. Amazing! Checking it off my author bucket list! 😂😁
I like the lighter one best. I feel like the details stand out better. 😊
So excited for this book!!

The first Salt Lake City protest at U of U. Had a great turnout. Peaceful camaraderie, united in our anger and frustrations. So glad I could be there!
Congratulations, Kirsten!! So exciting! ❤️

It was a lot of fun! 😊 Very special.
And as a postscript: I hear tell that the stats teacher has now added a new rule to her list of things students can’t do for their final stats project: “no live animals.” 😂🤣😂
Well. Apparently it’s a stats class experiment. 🤦🏼♀️ They randomly selected some seniors and some freshmen to receive a fish, and they will see which group can keep their fish alive longer. And they will do stats magic with the information, I guess. 🤷🏼♀️
Yup. 😂😫🤦🏼♀️
Aww, thanks, Teresa! 🥰

Part 3:
Text bubble conversation: Me: Umm, what? Hopefully it’s not a live fish? Son: supposedly it’s a live fish. Me: umm, why are you getting a fish? Son: No idea. Me: I’m not super keen on this news.
Part 2:
A white piece of paper that says “congratulations, you’re getting a new pet fish! Please claim your fish in Room 109 today during the first half of PACK or after school from 2:45 to 3:00 PM. Your new finned friend is waiting.”
