I know it's been ages since I last posted. Life just seems to get in the way!

Life with Sir is still wonderful. There are those magical moments mixed with the daily hum-drum. It's been two years now and I still consider myself one of the luckiest women I know. (Thank you, Sir, for coming into my life and making me so happy!)

Twenty-six weeks from now, I will finally graduate. It's only an associate's degree, but I will finally have a piece of paper that shows I'm trainable! Honestly, it's going to be wonderful to NOT spend the bulk of my weekend doing school work. Will I know what to do with my free time?

Lots of changes at the workplace.... My division has laid off almost 50 people since November. That's a large percentage! My job is fairly safe. In fact, I may be taking on a new role within the next couple of months that will pretty much guarantee employment for at least two or three years. The threat of moving our office to the corporate location has been put off for at least a year, so that's good news. We're hitting our objectives for the year so far, so it looks like we won't lose any more staff. It's been horribly stressful the past few months, though. Every day, I just put on the happy face and do as much as I can do. That's actually been good, though, as senior management has noticed my positive outlook. Somehow I've managed to get in pretty good with the new management, so I'm not complaining!

Sir and I have decided to take our first vacation together. Next week, we're off to Las Vegas! (C'mon 10 black!) I'm SOOOO ready for the relaxation and just getting away from everything. My only concern is that Sir will get called back to work right as we're leaving.... That wouldn't be a bad thing, but I'd sure hate to go on vacation by myself!

Well, I've given you some of the highlights of my life lately.... It's time to sign off and get to home work!

I'm glad to hear that things are going so well for you wistful and will keep my fingers crossed that vacation goes off without a hitch.

Thank you mikayla! It was so great to come on yesterday and see you back. I've missed you!

Elusive, it's been about seven years since I've gone there. I can't wait! We're going to try to do the Hoover Dam tour I think. I've always wanted to and never found the time.

Thanks 'Mama! And congratulations on your new bundle of joy!

Funbaghandler! So wonderful to see you! May your wishes of luck follow me on my trip....

It's always good to see you, and it's even better to hear things are progressing well in your life. Let me know if you head to Chicago anytime soon. xx

Sweet kat, you can BET on that! They have a moratorium on travel right now, so it doesn't look good for this year. Darn!
