BACK WITH A VENGEANCE

Hey guys! Here I am again. I am sure that my return will not be marked by the shout of trumpets or the raising of flags, and that's okay. Many thanks to IronPants, however, who coaxed me into blogging again. I can't promise much, but I will do what I can. Of course, I am also very interested in catching up on your lives (if anyone is reading this. If not, that's okay also).

There are so many things to talk about! I will quickly recap the events of my life since I last left the blog. I will do this in bullet form so as to eliminate confusion. Here goes:

• I got engaged and will be married this December.
• Hahaha-- gotcha.
• Mr. S and I traveled a lot this summer. Highlights were San Diego; Boston, Mass; and New York.
• This summer Mr. S and I also wrote 2 songs together and recorded them ( he has a recording program on his computer). At some point I will have to post a listening segment on here. I played guitar, he played the drums. They do sound good for an amateur songwriter, even I have to say so myself.
• By the way, Mr. S and I are getting along famously. He has recently started signing his emails with phrases like, "love ya" and "love, S" and things like that. This is a new turn in the relationship. I don't know why, but even though I feel these things for him I can't bring myself to use the word "love" just yet. I have issues to be ironed to out, I guess. Right now he's in New York for a family reunion, and I think the absence is what has made his heart grow fonder and has also been the catalyst for the "love ya" remarks. Hmmm.
• I am back in school teaching. Whole new classes and everything. They are dolls (thus far). We are almost finished with the first quarter of the year, so that should tell you we are CRUISING! No major "problem" students (except for the captain of the football team- so stereotypical), but even he is good most days.
• I am moving from Tempe to Mesa. I'm scared about moving but also very excited. And no, I am not moving in with Mr. S. However, we shall live much closer to each other now.
• The "X" has been sending me emails. Some are cryptic and some are not so cryptic. I guess things aren't going that well with his new girlfriend (she has a name that rhymes with "TOKYO" by the way- isn't that bizzarre) and so he's trying to crawl back into my not- so-open arms ( Ladies and Gentlemen: Journey has now left the building.) I am not sure how to handle this. Suggestions? I should really post one his emails on my blog. What a laugh that would be. Maybe I'll post some of it.

That is pretty much what's going on in my life in the moment. Rest assured I will be back with more, kids. (Again, not that anyone is reading this.) Please post/comment to my blog and let me know if you're alive! I miss you!
