Spring is Here!

My "little" cousin came home from college on Saturday and Sunday for a visit! She brought her new boyfriend. His name is Jake and he seems pretty great. It's great to see April so happy! I posted some other pics from the weekend on my pics blog.

This morning I saw worms (it had just rained) and robins. Spring is here my friends!

Does it seem like time is flying by to anyone else? I'm still preparing to start my new year's resolutions and here it is almost April! Who is pressing the fast forward button on life?

So if there is anyone out there who hasn't quite got to their new years resolutions started and would like to join me, I'm starting on April 1 (April Fools Day, sort of funny don't you think?)

Any good ideas for what to call this day of resolution starting? We can't call it "New Year's Resolutions", because it's April. Hmm...think, think, think...let me know if you come up with any good ideas.

Dream Girls

Parry and I just went to see Dream Girls tonight at the cheap theater. WOW! What a show! The songs were so good, I was tearing up and had goosebumps nearly the entire film! No wonder it won two Oscars & was nominated for so many more!

Here is a website about the movie:

I strongly recommend that you check it out!

Big Read

I just started reading My Antonia as part of Sioux Falls' Big Read. For more information click this link: http://www.siouxlandlib.org/adults/book_clubs/big_read.aspx

I read this book in college and am loving it the second time through. It's about a young American boy and Bohemian girl and their life growing up in Nebraska. I really connect with the author's descriptions of grass, seasons, winter and life in the Midwest. Check it out!

Visit to NYC

I was recently in New York doing some training for work. This is me on top of the Empire State Building. If you look really closely, you can see a teeny tiny statue of liberty in the background behind my right shoulder. (Very teeny, tiny...)

This was my second visit to NY. What a great city! I saw a show and ate a slice of honest to goodness NY pizza!
