Life Lately – March 2022
Spring is right around the corner, friends! We did have a dusting of snow last month, but we’ve now entered wind season here in El Paso. It means that winter (or the desert’s version of winter) is just about over.
- In exciting news, Mac got his orders! We are relocating to Northern Virginia this summer. It will be nice to be close to friends and family, and I won’t have to commute 2000 miles once a month for class. We’re hoping to schedule the big move pieces shortly and get the ball rolling.
- We’re approaching the halfway mark of spring semester. Spring break is on the horizon for both my job and school, even though I don’t have time off. I’m knee deep in reviewing literature and drafting a prospectus. This semester is a trial run for the prospectus we submit for our dissertation in the fall, so fingers crossed it goes well.
- Before we leave, we’re hoping to take another weekend trip or two. We had planned to explore Albuquerque over President’s Day, but I was feeling swamped. Instead, we met with a Realtor, got our taxes sorted and organized, and started our pre-move prep work. We also painted our front door and took care of a few other small house projects. I’m feel much better that we accomplished a chunk of things on the to-do list.
- And finally to our new flavors. M&M released honey graham for their spring / Easter flavor. They are similar to the normal Crispy M&M (my personal favorite). Definitely a good option, and I would vote that they keep it year round. Oreo released these special Birthday Oreos for their 110th anniversary. Fun fact: I won a round of trivia in college because I learned Oreos launched in 1912 in my product development class. They have a layer of chocolate cream and one of the birthday cake cream. Very tasty, and I would also vote to keep these.
What’s new with y’all?
