We have many things coming out of the ground in front of our house. It looks like there will be many tulips. The grape hyacinths are already in bloom and the bleeding hearts will be blooming soon. I love spring ( Read more... )

All in all, this week wasn't so bad.  I had a presentation on Monday and another one on Tuesday, but I made it through.  My next design review isn't for another week and a half ( Read more... )

I've been randomly signing up for fitness classes at work for a couple years now.  In the fall, I was taking Zumba.  It just seemed like one class a week wasn't enough, though.  So, I signed up for all 3 classes offered at our facility.  On Mondays, it's a toning class (hand weights, lunges, etc.).  Tuesday is Pilates and Wednesday is Zumba (latin ( Read more... )

I'm so weird.  I love planning trips and requesting brochures for whatever adventure we're planning each year.  The other day, I got a North Myrtle Beach booklet and today it was an Outer Banks booklet.  I haven't looked through the Outer Banks one, but enjoyed looking through the first one.  I saw a super sweet resort, but it's slightly pricey and ( Read more... )

The first few weeks of work have been busy, but nothing too exciting is going on. The end of last year was very rewarding. I received an unexpected bonus and raise. I've only received a bonus once before and I've never been given a raise at the end of the year before. Our company has an annual raise schedule, which is August for me and I just ( Read more... )

For Christmas, we took 2 days off of work beforehand and flew to Josh's sister's place in California. We had a nonstop flight, which was great. It was also on the biggest plane we've ever been on. Our flight arrived pretty much on time and we got our luggage without a hitch. Unfortunately, we were supposed to meet Josh's Dad at the airport 2 ( Read more... )

This year, we spent Thanksgiving with my parents in Alabama.  We had a full week (Monday to Monday) there.  We went for walks, ate lots of good food, and played many games.  Dad, Jake, Josh, and I went to the theater to watch Quantum of Solace.  Mom and Dad showed us a couple homes they like as they got ready to put their house on the market.  ( Read more... )

I have one more hectic week and then the rest of the year, hopefully, will be smooth sailing. I have a customer presentation next Wednesday, but I'm thinking it won't be too bad. The preparation leading up to it is the hard part. And then there's another customer presentation to help someone else prepare for on Thursday. It may be a long week, ( Read more... )
