It’s Winter time in Cowtown - lots of early mornings at the Rec Center, evenings at home with Brian and enjoying the sunshine :). It’s been a busy January so far and it doesn’t appear to be letting up anytime soon. Off we go!

Brian and I continued our annual chile roast tradition this year by roasting an entire box of hot Hatch chiles from the Mesilla Valley in New Mexico.

The roast took about three hours and we followed it up with a delicious meal of hatch chile and cheese quesadillas with guacamole and salsa.

We are looking forward to all of the great meals that will come out of this batch … as well as making our very own hatch chile vodka!

During summer school this year, I took my Channel Planning students to Moroch ad agency in Dallas for a half day tour.

The folks at Moroch are incredible and gave the students an excellent view into ad agency life in Dallas.

Looking forward to another visit sometime this year!

Summer 2011 trip to the Florida panhandle to see my Mom and hang out with the family. Good times were had by all!

One of many trip highlights: eating oysters at Perla’s that came from Fanny Bay, British Columbia a.k.a Brian and I’s honeymoon spot :).
