2 years!

Grant and I have been married for two years! It is so funny. I can't imagine my life without him. He has certainly been a part of my life for a large part of it - considering we first met in the summer of 1994 - Our relationship constitutes 13 years of friendship, 6 years of romance, and 2 years of marriage. Wow.

So what does all that give me? SOmeone who knows me better then sometimes I know myself. SOmeone that I trust implicitly. Someone who shares my everyday life and my exotic adventures. Someone to hold me at night and to kiss goodbye in the morning. Someone who makes me feel incredibly lucky every single day.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows,,,

It is finished.

The last few days

So, our bathroom - at least the major stuff, is all done now. I think it turned out pretty well! The shower is heavenly - huge and pretty and wonderful. Unfortunately, that made the area where the toilet goes a bit narrower, but it is ok. We just need to do some last minute detail work and it will be complete once and for all.

I have been watching "Kathy Griffin - My life on the D-list." That show is so funny!

Oh - and Big Brother - Dick as HOH!!!! Yes!!!! I want Jen out...

Ok - I am off to meet the girls from work for lunch, and see Princess Brooklynn - I don't even want to think about how much she has grown...

Sometimes it works out...

I was thinking about old friends the other day. You know, friends that you've lost touch with over the years? You think, "Maybe I should get in touch with them..."

Sometimes you do, you make that step. It is actually pretty easy with email now. So you exchange a couple of emails and then things sort of just drift off again...

But sometimes, you click. Sometimes, you renew an old friendship and in many ways, it is like you never left - you're as close as ever - maybe even closer.

That is awesome when that happens.

Right, Angie?

I didn't title this blog yet because I have no idea yet what I am going to blog about. Since I have no purpose in writing this particular entry, it could be incredibly dull. I don't know how to spell at all.

I had some super weird dreams last night. Strange, I tell ya! Wacky....

Our bathroom is almost finished being redone. I can't wait until it is complete!

I just caught up on the past few video blogs on Rosie's site. That cruise seems like such a awesome experience for those families. I also watched a couple of Ross the Intern's talky blogs, as well.

Yup, this blog is going no where fast. I was reading other people's blogs the other day and I was totally in awe of the way other people do their blogs. That is what I love about blogs - you do what makes sense to you - what is meaningful for you. Sometimes I think my blogs are stupid, but then I go back and read old entries and think, "that's pretty cool..." 'cause it represents who I was that day.

Tomorrow, Grant and I are taking Andrew and Cori to Disneyland. That should be fun. I hope it doesn't get too hot! I still have not been on the submarine ride yet. I am thinking September, after school one day.

I went to my classroom yesterday to get started. This might actually be the year that I do some exciting stuff (furniture-wise) in my classroom that I've always wanted to do. We'll see. I will keep you posted.

Bye for now...

Down in the dumps

I am feeling super gloomy. Very grumpy. I am not sure why. I've just been in this perpetual bad mood. And it is the middle of summer!!! It sucks. I know I should snap myself out of it. Make myself cheer up. But I don't. I don't want to. I don't have the energy or the motivation. Stupid, huh? sigh. It makes me very tired all of the time.

So anyways, I am trying to figure out how to make my classroom function better this year. My biggest dilemma is trying to figure out how to organize my digital projector. I don't use it as much as I would like, and I think that is because it is not easily accessible. Every time I want to use it I have to get it out and set it up. I would like it permanently set up some how, but I am not sure what I want to set it up on.

Also along this line, I am trying to figure out if there is a better way to organize my overhead projector. Lots to think about.

5 days until Harry Potter comes out. Then it will all be over. Sigh.

Food for thought

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix

I just finished reading Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix - Book 5.

I have no read through the series several times, but I never get bored. I love JK Rowling's writing style. The books are so entertaining and interesting to read.

I am feeling rather gloomy now, as I have just finished the book, though. I am feeling very anxious about book 7 - Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. I don't know how it is going to end, but I know that there is more sadness to come. Also, I am dreading the end of the series, because the books themselves are so fantastic. I wonder what Rowling's future writing plans are, or if she is done.

I wonder if my questions will be answered. I wonder if I will be satisfied with the ending. I hope, after so many gloomy endings, that Book 7 will end with triumph and joy. Harry deserves that. I love that he has a hero complex.

I am trying so hard to avoid spoilers. I want to read news and websites, but I am so afraid I will read something that I don't want to know yet.

Michigan - Michelle's wedding

Michelle's wedding on Saturday, June 30, went very well. As far as I know, it went off without a hitch. Steve, Michelle's husband, works for a caterer so they actually did all of their own food! I think they took on a lot, but it was a very nice wedding. I also got to see Scott and Carlene and Tina and Brittany and Paige. That was cool. One of Steve's friends, Grant was really awesome to. He was so cool with my mom. A really cool guy.

The wedding was in Burton/Grand Blanc, and we stayed in La Pere.

We got back to the house yesterday afternoon. Mom's house is like a game's dream. Thwy have just about every game system. We played some wii, and Guitar hero, and Karaoke.

I'm getting caught up on this season of Big Love - since I do not have HBO, I need to either watch it at someone else's or wait until it comes out on dvd. I love this show, and I hate that it is only one season a year!!!!
