What have we been up to...

It has been a whole week since I last blogged. I either have given up on my pursuit of not-another-fly-by-night blog, or I have actually been busy!

As you can probably tell from my last blog, I am thrilled about the outcome of the election and am looking forward to this change that is in the air. I cried tears of joy last Tuesday. My generation has lived through some pretty crappy historical events so it is nice to witness good history in the making. This is something I will be proud to tell my future children about. Hopefully I will one day get to tell them that I was there when equal rights for ALL became law...

My new job has been going really well. I like the people that I work with and the kids have pretty much gotten used to me. I get random hugs from 5 year olds everyday! The boy that I am there to oversee constantly surprises me. He comes up with unique ways of saying no without actually using the words. He is not allowed to say no and when he does he loses points towards a reward. He is so smart and keeps me on my toes. I thought getting up at 6:15 am everyday was going to be hard, but I look forward to going to work! I am still teaching with Science Matters as well, which is great because I enjoy that work too.

Around the house we have finally painted the laundry room. We bought a nice blue paint before our wedding, but kept putting it off until this past weekend. I brought all the supplies upstairs and told Dave that we were just going to get it done. It was the last all white room in the house and it drove me nuts walking past it everyday. Our laundry room is right next to our bedroom so there is no avoiding it. I got a 5 x 7 rug from Kmart to cover the ugly brownish orange linoleum floor and painted the trim a 'french white' I do believe. It looks a thousand times
better!


I am not sure what project we are going to do next, but I'll keep you posted!!!

..and just because I think they are adorable I will leave you with a few pictures of my dogs.
