Voila! It's a wrap! Man, am I glad that's done and with actually very little stress. The Bells of Ireland looked beautiful with the rich chocolate brown. Decorating with fresh flowers is the best - not only because it makes it super easy as opposed to piped doo-dads, but because it just looks so fresh and alive. Hope the bride and groom really enjoy their special day. I, for some inane reason, decided to make my own wedding cake. That was possibly the worst decision I've ever made, but apparently I was adamant about it. I remember trying to frost the buttercream in our very chilly house the morning of the wedding and it kept freezing up on me . . . ugh . . . talk about stress.And while I'm on the topic of stress, we're feeling a bit more at ease now because we've decided to stay put in our house for at least another year. The thought of walking away from the house and neighborhood that we adore just to break even was pretty depressing. So now it feels good to be planting and fixing up the place for us - not just to lure potential buyers. And now I'm able to look into some jobs here that I've taken an interest in; namely, a postion teaching English at Desert Academy. My interview is this Tuesday at 8:45 am so please send out the positive energy my way - I need it.

Good luck with the interview! You know I taught English on and off for almost 10 years? Not teaching currently and missing it... You were the most brilliant ECLS major I knew and the kids would be lucky to have you!
