Things we have done this summer/fall in pictures part 1

Catching Up Continued

Our Work: We are both happy and grateful that we are still currently employed.
Paul has 3 jobs and thena honey do list :).. He is currently running the Res Lif on the COCC campus and is really enjoying creating the program just doesn't have enough time to really do it with only 20 hours a week. He also teaches math at the college and enjoys it except for correcting tests... but he has found that watching Star Gate SG 1 while doing it make the process more enjoyable. He is also still a tour guide at Deschutes Brewery which has slowed down with his business at the college.
I have been trying to make my dreams of becoming a cake decorator come true and have sold 2 cakes so far and have a couple more in the future. Also I have started selling my jewels at the elementary school that I work at again... not doing as well as NH but they still need to realize what I'm capable of and how amazing I am :) hahaha. I also have been subbing a ton which is really great money here and so thanks to all the teachers who have other stuff to do other than be in school :).. In addition I am also still working at BPRD at Kids Inc the before and after school program. I have a blast and I'm doing child care for Holiday Parties around here.

So that's work :)

Its Been a While

So I already typed all of this once but apparently it was for Paul's class because I accidently logged into the wrong account and typed the whole thing and then apparently you can't cut and past out of this shananagans.


So here it goes...

It's been a while but such is new home ownership. Along wiht being crazy busy with work (which I can't complain about in this economy) has hindered me from pasting lately and thanks to my wonderful and beautiful cousin Jessica Jenness she has re-inspired me to keep this blog thing and that people really do read it and I'm a slacker for not updating it :) And the fact it's a pain in the booty some times..


So I need to catch up from this summer ...
HOUSE: wow we have come a long way since the last pictures We're moved in and I think officially have unpacked the last boxes.. Paul is not one for having unknown boxes around in spare spaces so everything was opened and unpacked. We have yet to paint as we are doing what we think is the right thing and saving up for projects and doing a bit at a time instead of racking up the credit card debt (I'm kinda crazy about money)... So some window treatments are up and the "office" looks really nice. We got a great deal on a desk from craigs list. One of my other favorite purchases is this great ladder that I found on the side of the road that I bought and now hang all my beautiful throws quilts and affgans on! I would love another for our bedroom or the guest room some day :). We also did a ton of work in the back yard this summer for prep for gardens for me next summer! We did cute white picket fencing around the edge of the gardens naively thinking it would keep the dogs out... nope!!! Paul did a great job making the grass really green too! Paul's dad came down for his 32nd Birthday and helped build a shelving and a work bench in the garage! Thanks Rick! Everything is a work in progress and so I hear once the lists start they never really end... case in point our kitchen sink faucet blew up on Paul the other day!! We currently have no usable kitchen sink :( ugh!

More to come later... have to go to work now...
