2012 Goals & Happenings - Progress Report for Q1

I'm on track with my 2012 goals so far ... Below is a quick summary of what I've done from January to the end of March.  One of the major things I accomplished was passing my dissertation prospectus which means I'm now in the thick of preparing for data collection and analysis. I'm happy to have the ball rolling. I hope to finish up and graduate sometime this year.

Other fun and interesting happenings:

Even though the snow was scarce this winter, I did make it cross country skiing one time

I was also able to spend some fun times with my friends while on my temple trips to Idaho and Texas.

Danielle, Kirk, and Chase at Chase's basketball game.

A very thoughtful gift from Danielle from the Container Store.

Austin food trailers with cousin, Macy Robison

Alamo - got to see the basement. Ha Ha Pee Wee!

Hanging with the Staylyns (Suzanne and Jonathan) on 6th Street in Austin, TX. 

Check out Suzanne's t-shirt - see I told you there was a basement!

I'm so pleased with this can crusher which was installed in my pantry. I use it every day!

These totally gross birds made my patio their home and I'm too grossed out and lazy to stop the perpetuation of this nasty species. Anyone else want to help out?

Until next time, folks. I promise to post those Cooking for One episodes before too long.
