Happy (Belated) Leap Year!
I'll skip the usual apologies and excuses of the general busyness of life. But life has certainly passed by quickly!
I've been at my semi-new job for nearly 3 months now! It's been super busy-I've had to work almost 65 hours per week (including Saturdays, which can be miserable). But such are the joys of a tax accountant! The great thing is that I love my job! And I especially love the people and positive environment! My firm believes in home-work life balance and maintaining relationships. We do things like take Wii breaks in the afternoon to reconnect. The firm also caters dinner on Thursday nights for everyone + spouses/significant others. I feel truly blessed!
It's somewhat belated, but Happy Leap Year! It's super special for me because T is a Leap Year baby-so this year he turned 8!!!
Happy Belated babe!
Also, Happy belated Lunar New Year! It was such a treat, this year T's grandparents were in town during the Lunar New Year to escape the cold/rain of Vancouver. Since Grandma was here, a couple of his other aunts & cousins decided to come down as well.

Happy 2012!
I hope you've had a great holiday season and blessed Christmas with people you love. I'm thankful for the week of special time with family in beautiful British Columbia! And I went ahead and carbo-loaded for all of 2012!
Speaking of 2012, it's off to a great start already!!!
I got a job doing tax work with a small CPA firm in the area - so here's to employment!
It was super sweet, T's entire family was very excited and supportive of my new job! Grandma even got me a special cake!
AND, T took me out to a special congratulatory dinner - Suika. I would say Suika tops Momofuku in NYC! It was that amazing! (pictures to come...)
I've never been a 'new year's resolutions' type person, but this year I decided to set some goals for the next 2 years. I feel overwhelmed when I think about accomplishing these goals, but I know I'll get there!

6 more days 'til Christmas!
When you were a child, do you remember eagerly counting the days down 'til Christmas? Or maybe you still do it (like me)? ;)
For the past 5 yrs, since T&I have been together, we do a holiday trek. My parents are still out in the MidWest, and his family are all up in Canada. So we take the last 2 weeks off of December and spend Christmas in one location and then New Year's in another. Sadly, this year we will be only going to Canada, so my parents will be spending Christmas alone. :( BUT, I'm excited to spend some quality time with his family!
The best part of Christmas time are the yummy treats! I'm crazy about these-
