  • Hot N' Cold

    Another Monday when I should be working on school work, but have found a million other things to occupy my time with instead.

    Here's my fun story of the month!

    My cousin Brenda got married on Valentine's Day in Hanover, New Hampshire.  We went with my family to the wedding, and I read the bible verse in the ceremony.  Right before the service someone kneels down next to me and says, "Hey Kristin!"  I figured it was a family member, but I look over and it's Kaht North!  For those of you who went to Valpo, you know who Kaht is, if you didn't go to Valpo, Kaht was a brilliant photographer who took pictures for the Torch (the school newspaper) while I was writing for them.  Check out her website, http://www.north-photo.com/. It's got awesome stuff!  As it turns out Kaht was Brenda's wedding photographer!  And here we are, 3 years after graduation, running into each other randomly!  Small world!

  • New Music

    I got $35 worth in iTunes gift cards for Christmas, which is wonderful!  However, I have lost touch with my independent music side since marrying Caleb and listening to NPR incessantly.  So, I'm using my blog as a shameless cry for help.  If you had to pick 3 new (or unknown) songs to recommend to someone, what would they be?

  • New Year's Resolutions

    Since this year is 2009, I'm going to strive to stick to 9 resolutions:
    1. Spend at least 4 weeks in a Spanish speaking country at some point during the year
    2. Lose 11 pounds (yes, 11) using my new Wii Fit to monitor my progress
    3. Clean out my room at my parents house (I've been married almost 2 years, and my room still looks like a "shrine to Kristin")
    4. Scrapbook an album for my sister before she graduates from college in May
    5. Remain gluten and dairy free (except in "food emergencies", i.e. at a dinner party where nothing is being served that I can eat and I'm STARVING)
    6. Buy all my clothes (excluding underwear and socks) from thrift stores
    7. Open the Taboo game we got as a wedding present, and invite friends over to play
    8. Get into the Humphrey Institute's Urban Planning program
    9. Keep all of my plants and my cat alive

  • New Website

    Caleb and I have a new website.
    Check it out!

    http://www.sancken.com

    I'll probably keep blogging here, but lately most of my writing energy has gone to end of semester papers.  First semester of graduate school is almost done. 

    Over break I'll be studying for the GRE, because I want to apply for a dual degree in Urban Planning.  I'm still feeling mixed about it.  Will I ever really know what I want to do when I grow up?
