DeluxeVille Update

Some of you might have noticed...I haven't been around much lately. I've been spending a lot of my time this summer enjoying and falling in love with my new bus and his amazing bus route. *wink wink! I have now become a true believer of the quote, "good things come to those who wait", as meeting my Sgt., has become one of the best things that has ever happened to me. He is truly one amazing man and I am lucky to have him in my life.

Not to make you all jealous or anything but this summer my Sgt has baked me bread, brought me peaches and salsa he canned, cooked for me with veggies from his garden, built me a bonfire with coconut marshmallows for toasting, took me to the lake for swimming, and out riding on his Harley. Plus, we have the best conversations about all kinds of things and I could listen to him talk all day. It also doesn't hurt that I think he's handsome and has a really cute bum to boot! Yes DeluxeVille readers, I think I'm finally a very lucky gal!

Sgt showing me around his garden...yes, he gardens too!


In other news:

I finally finished my kitchen project! Woohoo, just in time to go back to work! I can finally cross the kitchen off my to do list. WooHoo!!! I've also discovered that my kitchen was featured on the Apartment Therapy Kitchen Site...Before and After Kitchens. Cool! I've enjoyed reading Apartment Therapy for years, so it was fun to see something of mine turn up over there!

Finished!!!

I'm also back at work and this year looks like it's going to be a tough one for me teaching wise. I have more classes then ever to teach with of course less time given to prepare for them. Gee, and people wonder what's wrong with public education?? Hmmmm I could write you a book! My blogging posts might be a little sparse around here for a while until things get a little less hectic for me....but don't worry, I'm still here!
