Bathroom Art

As promised, my mom found something for me to hang in the bathroom. I love it!! With the exception of the doors on the vanity (that stupid wallpaper stuff just doesn't want to come off and the doors need a fresh coat of paint), this room is complete!

We have the next room to be updated figured out ... I'll let you know what we're planning soon!

My Mantra

"If you don't like something, change it. If you can't change it, change your attitude. Don't complain."
~Maya Angelou~

I shouldn't say that this is my mantra. This WILL be my mantra. Things haven't been real great at work lately. It's been very busy and, at times, very frustrating. It doesn't look like things will change anytime soon and I've noticed that I've been complaining a lot lately. I don't like it. There is nothing that I can do that will change the way things have been going, but I can control how I react to it.

What's Up?

I haven't really posted much lately, other than pictures of my beautiful niece (who can blame me?). So, I figured I would post a little update on what Dustin and I have been up to lately. And the report is, not much. We finally booked our flights for a trip out to D.C. to see Dustin's parents, Jeff and Cindy. We are stoked for this trip!! We are going to head out the end of April. It's just a quick weekend trip (Thursday - Monday) but we can't wait to get out there and see them. They have been very busy finding fun places to take us to ... I'm so excited, you have no idea!

We are hosting a Super Bowl party on Sunday too. We enjoy entertaining and it makes it even better that Jeff and Cindy have let us borrow their bar while they are living it up in the big city! Thanks again!! Here's the menu for the party ...

Chislic (of the deer variety)
Bacon-wrapped water chestnuts
Southwest dip
Fruit salsa with cinnamon chips

Sounds pretty good, doesn't it?! We're really looking forward to it. Football is kind of a big deal in our house, so this is another Christmas for us ... or something like that!

I'm traveling for work in February (mostly meetings, but I do get to catch a couple basketball games). I'm heading to Oklahoma the 18-20th and then Minneapolis the 21-22nd. We're going to the OU/Baylor game on the 19th ... which reminds me that I need to get in touch with Dustin's uncle to see if he'll be at that game ... and the U of M/Michigan game on the 21st. It should be fun.

And I think that about covers it!
