Surviving 9th Grade

As Josh walked in the door, I turned and proudly announced, above the humming of the bread machine, "I'm making strombolis!"

Girls, if you want a man to fall for you just make homemade strombolis. Here's the recipe:

One breadmaker - follow the breadmaker directions for pizza dough
One man - let him roll out the dough and compliment his bulging muscles as he works.
Turkey, ham, pepperonis, and cheese - stuff all of these in and roll up your strombolis.
Pizza stone - these do a lovely job of browning the strombolis.
Butter (or olive oil) and oregano mixture - brush onto the strombolis to achieve the perfect golden-brown color
Oven - Bake at 350 until golden-brown.

As you can see, men adore these tasty treats.

The last few weeks have been just wonderful! As far as I know, the wedding went off without a hitch. It was HOT, but fun. I am a little bitter about the melted silly string on my dash, though. The criminal should be prepared for retaliation!

The honeymoon was great. We had some very friendly construction workers who were willing to give us a wake-up call every morning... how sweet.

When we came home, I found out that I'm not teaching Honors English next year, and I'm okay with that. Instead I'm teaching journalism, creative writing, and the literary magazine. Plus, I'm helping with the yearbook. I love that I have classes that don't include a high-stakes standardized test at the end of the year. The key word for this year is FUN!

Otherwise, married life is wonderful! I absolutely love it! We have most of our apartment organized and as of this week, I think we're finally getting some sleep, though there's a king size bed in our distant future. :)
