Healthy Valentines Swap!

Yikes! Valentines Day is just around the corner, and I can't think of anything more fun than getting paired up with a swap partner to exchange some Healthy Valentine gifts. The last thing I want need is crazy amounts of chocolate, but I love an excuse to shop for fun girly gifts :)

Stop by Janna or Kenz's blogs to read more about the details. This is my second swap, and I think I've gotten myself addicted!

Good News!

The subject mater for this post and this post are finally blogable (is that a real word?). I'll be starting my new position-Relationship Support Specialist IV, Wealth Management Group-in a few weeks.  I interviewed for the internal job posting a week ago, had a second interview on Friday, and they called to offer the job to me today! I felt great about my interview(s), and super happy that the waiting is over. I hope it means I'll get some good sleep tonight!

I'll miss the customers and coworkers I've grown to love, but I'm really excited about developing myself further and working in a more silent roll-less stress is always a good thing!

To top a great day off, I made a DELICIOUS dinner. I've made a few recipes from Noble Pig in the past, and I was really excited to try one they posted a few days ago, Sweet and Sour Pork. I used yellow onions instead of scallions because it was what I had on hand, but the recipe was very easy and a big hit! I think I'll add it into the rotation in the future.

I meant to take a picture of it served on my plate but I forgot to :( It might not look terribly impressive but it was flavorful and tender

And I'd prefer not to repeat it this coming week. That is all.

Dachshund Meetup Day!!

Here are a few pictures from my afternoon with Shawn and Bailey at the Georgetown Bark Park! This is an off-leash park that allows for small/large dog segregation. Bailey does MUCH better around dogs his own size :)

I'd guess about 15 peopled RSVP'd, and at the busiest time there were probably 20+ dachshunds! We hung around for about an hour and a half chatting with the other owners and watching all our pets interact. It was a great day!

(Bailey's the cute one in the rowdy green sweater, if you don't recognize his mug)

He fell asleep about 2.3 seconds into our drive home and has been napping the rest of the day away. Can't wait for the next meetup!
