In late November, our little family of three took some adorable family pics with a lovely photographer. Doesn’t that sound all nice and pleasant? While the pics that were posted to Facebook revealed a happy, smiling family of three in a nice, tranquil wooded area, what the experience was actually like was 45 minutes of…
I’m All Graduated and Stuff
As unbelievable as this is for me to say, I am FINALLY graduated with my MBA. As mentioned in previous posts, UTD did this so backwards that it was really tough to appreciate the actual graduation. While I walked across the stage and got a nice pretty portfolio (with a sentimental letter from the Dean),…
Thanksgiving 2012
I realize this post is out of order, but at the moment, my life is a little out of order! I wanted to make sure we captured the awesome time we had in Gilmer for Thanksgiving. We only spent a couple of days, but it was really a great time. Not only did we have…
A Reflection on My MBA
Today I’m one week away from graduating with my MBA. Sounds super fancy, huh? It doesn’t really feel that way right now. While this isn’t my first semester juggling a job, a family, and school, it’s definitely been the hardest. I don’t know if it was easier when Walt was little bitty b/c there was…
Munks the Chatterbox
Recently (in the past month or so), Walt has REALLY improved his speech. He’s gone from single words to putting two, three, four words together and really has a conversation. It’s really pretty awesome. Now, Walt definitely has his own language. Chris and I are mostly fluent in “Walt-ese”, but there are plenty of times…
Goin’ on a Hike
Per my previous post, I’m underwater with end-of-semester deadlines. Lucky for me, our neighbors rock. Our neighbor, Josh, offered to take his son, Austin, and Walt to a hiking trail on Sunday morning. I saw a window of opportunity to sit on the couch and catch up on dvr’d shows start a 15-page term paper….
My Life in Numbers
Here are my next five weeks of life: 8 more in-class sessions 4 group projects 1 term paper (15 pages) 1 final exam 1 graduation ceremony …and a partridge in a pear tree.
Happy Halloween!
What a different a year makes! Halloween at almost 2 years old is a totally different ballgame from Halloween at almost 10 months. It’s WAY more fun! Since I already gave you the background on the costume, I’ll dive right in to Halloween festivities. It’s important to note (not really sure why it’s important, but…
Halloween Party!
This year, Halloween has been so much more involved. I love it! Chris and I thought long and hard about Walt’s costume. Knowing very well that our years of dictating costumes are numbered, we figured we’d continue our brainwashing. We agreed that Walt should be a sportsplayer of some sort, and quickly picked football player…
Show Me Your Funny Face
As working parents (and parents with not exactly the same schedule… there’s lots of handing off in our house), we communicate a lot with our phones. No, of course we don’t talk on our phones. Do people do that?? We text and send pics and videos of the Munka man. However, we started seeing a…
