Update

On Monday I have to go back to work. Being a teacher is pretty cool I guess because it's like I get a sabbatical every year. Lee has to wait 7 years, and then he gets a 2 month sabbatical. We are going to go on the best trip when he has his sabbatical in 5 years. My vote is to rent a house boat and sail the fjords of Norway. My family took that vacation when I was about 7 and it was the best experience I've ever had.

I think we've decided that we want to get married in June of 2012. It's a long way off, but I like that because I can procrastinate in my wedding planning for a long time. I'd like to get married in Cave Creek, where Lee's parent's live and close to my where my parents live.


I've grown to love desert scenery (not the weather though). I haven't done any thinking beyond this, but at least it's a start. Oh, well I think we've also decided that we'd like to go on a cruise for a honeymoon. That, or just go to some really cliché beachy place in Mexico where we don't have to worry about deciding where we're going to eat dinner or how we're going to get there.

My "gardening" endeavors are coming along quite well, despite some initial setbacks. There was a slight change of plans and now I have the beginnings of lots of different flowers (in the large greenhouse), cat grass, tomatoes, basil, thyme, parsley, cilantro, and chives. Our extra bedroom has sort of become my greenhouse because unfortunately, I don't have a kitchen with a window.

My potted plants are doing well too. We still have to get some patio furniture, but when we do, I'm going to love our backyard.

The cats are still insane and running our lives.
