Houston's first LEED pediatrics building

Check it out! It's my Dad! He is the architect for Houston's first LEED Green Certified Pediatrics building! I am so proud! Go Dad!

If this doesn't inspire....

I don't know what will!

This is some pretty incredible playing! And some energetic and focused conducting! Can you believe this orchestra is in my city and I still haven't been to see them! I need to go ASAP! I am thinking about buying tickets right now!

First Day of school?

This morning, Jared left for his first day at Sony! It really felt more like I was sending him off to his first day of school or something. :) He will meet new people, have a totally different work environment, have all new software to learn, and new area of town to get to know. I am so excited for him, but I think I might have been more nervous last night than him when we were falling asleep! He is already in my prayers this morning :) Weird that this is Jared's first day and Obama's? Well, hopefully it is a good sign!

On another note, I am dog-sitting out here for my brother's girlfriend's aunt and uncle...random, I know, but they have two of the most adorable golden retrievers, and a hot tub!!! I will post some pics of the dogs if I can get a camera. Ours finally died! RIP cannon powershot! :(

you should do it too!

So I haven't been blogging as much lately because I have joined an online site where you can read the bible through in a year and share comments about the readings with friends who are also members on the site. I can't believe I have kept up with the readings and it has been so wonderful to have more consistent time reading the bible. Go to www.youversion.com if you want to set up a username so you can join in! It isn't too late to start! You can even start on today's readings as your first day! My username is robinbobin if you want to search for me! See you there! In the meantime, I will try to blog more. :)

School starts in a week, and Jared starts his first day at SONY imageworks tomorrow! We are both so excited! Please pray with us as we transition to this new phase!

New Year's Resolution

So, I have never done resolutions before, but this year I thought of a few quick ones! You can check in and see how I am doing!

1. I am not going to watch American Idol this season. It takes up way too much time, and I have a lot of other things I need to get done! (Thesis, Recital, Competitions, etc...)

2. I am going to read the bible through for the first time ever! I am reading through on youversion.com. You can create a username and post comments about passages you read. Much more beneficial than facebook, which brings me to my next resolution...

3. I can only check facebook once a day, and hopefully not everyday as I become less addicted to it! :) Wish me luck!

4. Eat healthier and exercise. I have new running shoes and an ipod shuffle, so I can enjoy my time outside running (hopefully 3-4x a week). Also, am going to try to only make one dessert a week! EEEKkk!

Let me know if you have any good resolutions!
