~Oatmeal~

Today is the last day I have to get ready for students to return on campus. And since I have been in Idaho for a week and it was Christmas prior to that, I need to quickly wrap my brain around the day.  So I started by making my breakfast the night before.  I got a small crock pot from my in-laws for Christmas and figured this would be a great time to bust it out.  I filled it with whole bulgar and oats, water, a little vanilla, cinnamon and agave nectar- let it sit overnight and I had myself a wonderful breakfast this morning!  Bonus- I used a crock pot liner, so there was barely any cleanup! 

 

And for those of you (most of you) who haven't seen how we changed our living room...  This is the corner where the table and benches were.  Donny loves the bookshelves! His one complaint is that he really wanted 4 bookshelves and an L-shaped design.  But as you can see from the picture, we have a funky box/wall thing in the corner, which made it nearly impossible to do such.  Eventually we plan on buying little lights that hang over the top of each bookshelf.  There are no lights in that room except for what lamps we add and that corner gets especially dark.  It's not to bad in the day, but at night, it's too dark for me at least.
