Radio Lollipop

As many may already know, I have been volunteering at Texas Children's Hospital with an organization called Radio Lollipop for about 4 years now.  I go every Tuesday night & absolutely LOVE it!  Radio Lollipop is an international organization that has been at TCH for 10 years.    Even when I'm exausted & am having a stressful work week & think I just want to go home and get in bed, I get to TCH and Radio Lollipop, have a blast & it really puts life in perspective for me.  Anyways, Fox Houston came to Radio Lollipop a few weeks ago and did a special that aired this week on the 9PM news.  So here it is!  And, if you want to learn more about Radio Lollipop, you can go to http://www.radiolollipop.org/.

Utah Trip

So thanks to Southwest Airlines' fantastic sale, we were able to hop over to Utah after our Ski trip to visit Alan's oldest sister Teresa, her husband, Jack, & their 4 kids.  They live just outside Salt Lake in Logan in an old farm house that they are in the process of updating.  Their house has so much character & they have done an amazing job updating everything so far.  And the views from their house are to die for!  We didn't know how fabulous the views were until our last day when we were leaving for the airport because it was cloudy and snowing the entire time we were there.  Alan even got to experience real farm life when he, along with Jack & his nephews, used the tractor to try and dig us out of the crazy amount of snow so we could get to the airport!
Here's some of our pictures from our trip!
Driving in downtown Logan - No, these weren't in black & white - it was just snowing that hard!
