Relaxed!

I am relaxed! This is the result of taking the last two weeks off of work. I was done at Range Oil Company on January 16 and I decided I needed some time off before I start work at Grant Thornton on February 2. I also decided that this time off was not meant to clean my house inside out or do lots of chores. This time was needed for me to de-stress, relax and be ready to start my new job with a positive and restful attitude. Here are some of the things I've done:

• FUN, long weekend with Brian, Kim, Aubrey & Abby in Kansas City
  
• Ability to be home and watch Inauguration coverage at home (AWESOME!)
  
• Lunch with Emily at her school (I took Wendy's and she was SO excited!)
  
• Lunch or breakfast with 5 great friends at separate times (wish I would have had time for more!) - this means I now need to do a lot of exercising!!!
  
• Several relaxing days with my mom here at our house
  
• A great SKM annual meeting in Emporia
  
• Friends to our house for dinner
  
• Shopping several times
  
• An entire day of scrapbooking and watching 2 movies all by myself
  
• A haircut
  
• Several little things accomplished on my to-do list
  
• Cropping photos from the last 6 months - not completely done but at least started
  
• A day with Chase and driving to Hutch to have lunch with Chad and see his new office
  
• Dinner with Chad's parents at our home
  
• Dinner out with my dad and a BC basketball game (TONIGHT!)
  

It seems like there is a lot on this list, but as always, there is more I'd like to do. Thank you to everyone who I was able to spend time with. It's been so nice to do some things at a more leisurely pace. But now....it's time to kick it in high gear and start working again!

Here's a picture of Chad in his new office....it's going well so far and he actually enjoys the drive! I met some people yesterday and they are all very nice. YEAH!

Happy Saturday!
