I’ve been meaning to get pictures posted from my FABULOUS trip to Asia – but haven’t. After I got home, I started classes two days later, and let me just say…this semester is going to kick my A.S.S. Seriously. Then, to top it off, I got sick. I went to the nurse practitioner TWICE last [...]

Blog friends – when we met up way back when in December, I mentioned to y’all that a group of my girlfriends were starting a book club. Well, our first meeting is going to be tomorrow – and we’ll decide on a book to read and just get to know each other then. If you’re [...]

A few of my other blogger friends have posted their decade reviews – so I decided I’d steal the idea from them    Thanks Vicki and Christine!   So…here goes.  Below you will find what the past 10 years has brought for me. -  High School Graduation -  Beginning of college at SWT -  Strutters [...]

I’m such a horrible blogger…but hey, it is what it is    The past couple of months brought about the end of the Aggie football season (and since I pulled our tickets for the t.u. game, we had AMAZING seats…I’ll post some pics later), finals, the end of deer season, and now…the end of a [...]

I had been fretting about asking my boss to take two weeks off in January for the Asia trip.  I’ve only been with the Agency for a year at the end of this month, so I didn’t know how it would look if I asked to take off for two solid weeks.  I was expecting [...]

A couple of weeks ago I got an e-mail with a study abroad opportunity through A&M – to three countries in Asia!  I forwarded the e-mail to my mom, honestly not even thinking it would be a possibility of going…and she replied “you know, that might be a really good opportunity!”  So…the wheels started turning, [...]

On the way home from work I stopped by HEB to get the goods for a delicious soup (I’ll post that recipe on Friday)…then went home to begin dinner.  Normally, I let Tegan inside as soon as I come home, but since the weather was so nice yesterday afternoon, I decided to start dinner and [...]

So, it’s been almost a month since I’ve updated!  Basically, my life now consists of working and grad school…with occasional fun thrown in one night a weekend.  So far, school is going well – just a lot of busy work!  I have my first (and only) midterm next week…I can’t believe the semester is halfway [...]

In remembrance of the 9/11 terrorist attacks 8 years ago today, I found the following poem by 7th grade student Hannah Schoechert. We’re Still Standing © Hannah Schoechert Those twin towers Standing tall with pride, Fell with grieving hearts. Stunned, America cried. But we’re still standing. Bin Laden tried To crush our land, But we [...]

My mom always used to make “Chicken with Mixed Vegetables”…and to this day it is one of my all time favorite meals.  It’s super easy, and you can use  chicken OR beef – and for that matter, I’m sure turkey breast would work, too!  Once again, I don’t have a picture – I’m working on getting [...]
