Hot water is not a necessity

Turns out you can have a perfectly lovely girls weekend, even without turning the hot water on.  Keep it in mind folks, keep it in mind! :)

Snowshoer's paradise!

Me and my bogo

Me and my SIL...in tubes...of course!
Shopping, eating, nails, movies, sleeeeeeeeping, laughing, cooking - all the good stuff!

World Peace and Obedient Children

This, my friends, is always the request of my father anytime he is asked for a gift idea.  And, well, if there was a day to shoot for the moon and land one of those, it was yesterday: his 60th Birthday!  

How about a surprise visit at the office and a calculator cake?!  Close enough!?



60 has never looked so good! love ya guy! :)

Going on a cookie hunt

I'm going to Freeze Out this weekend with our high schoolers and a couldn't be more excited! And since I express joy through cookies (which I believe is possibly the 6th love language) I baked, cut, and iced.


Enjoy!!

Resolve

I dont really like the idea of resolutions, so I have a few goals for 2012 instead:

Hike More
Purge junk from my life:

Flip them when you wear them, then purge after 6 months!
Be home more

That's about it for this year.  
Nothing too earth shattering, just keep on keepin' on!
