What's New With the Wardles

MR. WARDLE:
This semester Bret has a couple classes on campus but he also spends 12-16 hrs a week at the hospital learning about doing physical therapy in an acute care setting. I think he really enjoys being able to do hands-on things and interact with patients. I love it when he comes home and instead of studying for his tests he spends hours reading up on old material or researching about questions he'll have based on someone he worked with at the hospital. Don't worry, he always gets around to the necessary studying, but I love that he gets so excited about learning for the sake of learning. He is going to be an awesome physical therapist.
Other things on Bret's schedule: co-ed basketball intermurals, boys basketball intermurals, Elders' Quorum basketball, NBA basketball watching, and ward secretary duties (which means extra meetings on Sunday plus some weekday time at church). He is also waiting to hear back about his application to be a Graduate Assistant next year. Keep your fingers crossed for him!

MRS. WARDLE: This semester I have been working on an outreach project for the ballet. The idea was originally to go into about 5 different elementary schools to perform a lecture demonstration about dance (similar to what we did in Kinnect and Dancers' Co. at BYU). We had a lot of roadblocks along the way... too many to go into detail... but in less than a month we (my seven dancers and I) have put together a great show that will be educational and fun. We will be performing 6 separate times at one elementary school, Fort Concho, this Thursday. We hope it will open doors for the ballet to bring more integrated dance into elementary schools in the future.
Other things on Cami's schedule: still working with Ashley at Lake View, teaching 7 classes at the ballet (including Adult Contemporary Dance), teaching fitness classes twice a week to the Lake View faculty, and housekeeping/cooking duties (which Bret does a great job helping with!).

What we're looking forward to this week: I get to miss work on Thursday so I can do the elementary school outreach. I get to watch "Annie Get Your Gun" which opened this weekend and will run through February. We are going to San Antonio to stay with some friends and go to the temple! Yay!

We are loving life and hope you are too!
