That seems to be a trend, huh...
I'm just sitting here killing time before I go spend my afternoon at the DMV waiting to get my official Texas license (yes, it is long overdue...we're just hoping we don't get served fines for waiting like, a year). So I thought I'd drop in and share a little of what's been keeping us busy!
...and thus not blogging.
Jumped on this train a little while back:
Read the first book in 24 hours...which happened to be the 24 hours before the movie premiered. So we went that weekend. Fast forward 3 or 4 weeks and my Amazon order finally arrived with the remainder of the series. Moving right on through this one now...
...and plan to finish off with the third book as soon as I'm done. I finally finished my 3-course online series to attain my BCaBA, so now when I have "free time" (aka not working), it's actually free time. Soon GRE preparation will fill that space, but until then, I get to read things just for fun!
Our must-watch show of the moment is The Voice. We can usually be found eating dinner on the couch Monday nights since it starts at 7:00 here in the central time zone. I've heard a lot of talk about how the talent isn't as impressive this season, but I've still thoroughly enjoyed the show. Could be Adam Levine and Blake Shelton...aren't they just precious? :)
We've been doing some serious 2012 vacation-planning as of late, finally making decisions and solidifying them with actual flight bookings and hotel reservations. The last week of May, we'll be celebrating our first wedding anniversary (for real??) with a Southwestern fiesta in New Mexico. Our former Sunday school teachers (an absolutely precious and incredibly gracious couple with some ironic Tennessee ties) recommended we look into Santa Fe for a long weekend trip sometime, and we took their advice and then some! We're staying at a resort in Santa Fe for the first part of the week and then will be traveling up into the mountains to Taos, where we're spending a few nights in a beautiful-looking cabin. I plan to lay out by the pool, eat a lot, do some hiking in the SNOW (because it will still be there), and just relax in the beauty of God's creation for a week. My boss actually encouraged us all to take a vacation before the summer so we don't get burned out during our busiest season...I will readily abide with his request.
Can't forget to mention our other big trip of the year come December...time to return to DISNEY WORLD! Once my finals are all done for the fall, we'll be meeting my folks and sister for a week-long stay at Disney's brand new Art of Animation resort in a Finding Nemo decked-out family suite. And it will be decorated for Christmas!! I'm the only one of my fam who has been at Christmas, and I can NOT wait to take them to see the magic intensified!
I have to share a recipe I recently tried out as well. These were so delicious, both night-of and for leftovers. A twist on the classic enchilada, they are definitely healthier but still so full of flavor. Pretty darn easy too!

Happy weeks everyone!
