18 Months

Today Geoff and I celebrate our 18-month anniversary. That's a year and a half of wedded bliss. I just wanted to take a second to say how wonderful the past year and a half has been and that I could not imagine my life without Geoff. Geoff is so supportive of me and never lets a day (or even a moment!) go by without reminding me of how loved I am. As a kid/teen I always dreamed of the day I'd have a husband to look at me the way my dad looked at...

Valentine's Recap

Well, Valentine's Day number 2 as a married couple was fantastic. As noted in my previous entry, Geoff surprised me the day before with a fantastic array of gifts at work.On the actual "day of love" Geoff and I woke up bright and early and hit the gym. Afterward, while Geoff showered and got ready to go to school for some good study time, I made him a "heart-shaped" pancake with strawberries and whipped cream and bacon. I rarely have the opportunity...

Valentine's Day Came Early!

I got a call from the front desk at work this afternoon that I had a package (this is not unusual at all, as I receive packages on a daily basis).

Geoff had brought me a new office chair (officially dubbed my "throne") along with a dozen yellow roses (that are now making my office smell delicious!), a bag of my favorite candies, a very thoughtful card, and a dress that...

Office Makeover!

The pictures aren't much, but I'm still excited to share my recent office makeover. I've been wanting new artwork in my office since I moved in. Artwork, however, is expensive! So, I kept putting it off until I got this great idea! I bought 4 puzzles at Wal-Mart that I loved. I put them together and used puzzle glue to seal them together. I then painted 4 frames in coordinating colors - and tah-dah! Artwork! :) I bought a matching mirror...

I vow...

To NEVER post videos of my children on YouTube.Now, YouTube is awesome, don't get me wrong. But I saw this video today of a 7-year old kid who just got out of the dentist office and was still a little high on the drugs. It was amusing. However, it makes me think about the home videos that my parents have of me as a kid (and I was a cute kid!) and how mortifying it is when they show them to people. Now, my parents, mind you, aren't showing them...

Best Day/Worst Day

So, in an attempt to further better myself, I have started a new self-improvement project: Optimism. This started out as a patience exercise. I'm a bit of an impatient lady and I decided that I needed to learn how to temper that a little bit better. However, as I started to really put together a plan of attack, so-to-speak, I realized that a better way to approach the issue was to look at it in terms of optimism and pessimism vs patience and impatience....
