Joy in the Journey: December 2010
http://nicki-blair.blogspot.com/2010_12_01_archive.html
Joy in the Journey. Sunday, December 26, 2010. That's right, folks. Phil has finally popped the question! For two weeks straight, following finals, he disappeared into secrecy and covert operations. I thought I would see more of him when he was out of school, but alas! We would go into a store and be wondering around, suddenly he would say "Ok, you need to go wait outside now! I was getting a little nervous, but I shouldn't have worried. We order dinner:. Me with my Hawaiian Sea Bass. Delicious! This is ...

The Scholes Abode: April 2015
http://nathanlisascholes.blogspot.com/2015_04_01_archive.html
And so it begins. Boxes are slowly starting to take over the hallway. It is taking me a lot longer to pack everything than usual, though I am not sure why. I just can't seem to get the motivation to keep up the steam of packing. But since we only have about 2 weeks until we move, I really do need to get these things taken care of. Yays and Nays: April Edition. This week's edition of "yays and nays" is brought to you by the letter "C". As in; crazy, cookies, cars and crabgrass. I have had a lot of pretty ...

The Scholes Abode: May 2014
http://nathanlisascholes.blogspot.com/2014_05_01_archive.html
Today I went grocery shopping. Twice (Because I forget things). Saw adorable (super adorable) puppies. Took a walk with my love. And saw the movie Non-Stop (also with my love). Not a terribly busy day, but nice. Last night, Bruce and I went to the drive-in to see "Maleficent". When we arrived at the theater, there was already a queue of cars waiting for the moment they would be allowed entrance, so we lined up behind them and waited. Anyway.) and let me play it while we waited. I am renting a dress for t...

The Scholes Abode: June 2014
http://nathanlisascholes.blogspot.com/2014_06_01_archive.html
Bruce and I got a bit of a shock today when we kissed. No, really.we literally shocked each others lips. It hurt a little, but made us both laugh. Never knew that could happen. We had a few bouts of torrential rain today. It was kind of awesome listening to it and the thunder, and even better running through it this afternoon. Rain is good for the soul. What is your verdict? I got my first-ever jury summons the other day. With this aspect of things anyway. We used lemons as part of our wedding decor.

The Scholes Abode: October 2014
http://nathanlisascholes.blogspot.com/2014_10_01_archive.html
Even though I am sick, Bruce and I maintained our tradition of watching "Arsenic and Old Lace" for Halloween. If you have never seen it, you really should. It is a classic! And is super funny to boot! Well, the blog transition has been completed (clearly), so if you're reading this, welcome to our new home! I am playing hooky from work, though can it really be hooky if I'm actually sick and lying on the couch slipping in and out of consciousness? The funny version goes something like this:. Hopefully we'...

Dom Voyage : January 2013
http://domvoyage.blogspot.com/2013_01_01_archive.html
Friday, January 4, 2013. Wet and Windy Weather. My first week in England has been a real treat! Because none of the other student teachers will arrive until the 23. I have really been given the royal treatment by the school staff and others: dinners out, personal tour guides, and all-knowing locals to drive me about. I’m glad to get to experience a lot of the simple local culture of the countryside as well as partake in the touristy hot spots. I love it here. The air force bases are lovely and I am quite...

Dom Voyage : In Session
http://domvoyage.blogspot.com/2013/02/bud-normal-0-0-1-340-1942-16-3-2384-11.html
Saturday, February 9, 2013. Teaching at the intermediate school here on base is an incredible experience. The resources for these pupils are endless! My students are attentive and very respectful – a complete 180 form my last classroom. It has rekindled my love for education; moreover, I get to spend my time actually teaching rather than attempting to manage. While these children want for very little, they too live with harsh realities. My heart weeps as I watch the struggle. 8230;On a lighter note….

Dom Voyage : Collect Moments Not Things
http://domvoyage.blogspot.com/2012/12/collect-moments-not-things.html
Sunday, December 23, 2012. Collect Moments Not Things. While I thrived on living “wild and free”, I admit, there were times when my personal decisions were not the most conducive to flourishing finances, successful relationships, or a well planned future; however, I regret little. Every feeling, thought, choice and action has lead up to this very moment. A huge part of building a plan for my future was a vow to love the people I meet while collecting moments rather than things. Miss Frizzle: I’m pr...

Joy in the Journey: May 2010
http://nicki-blair.blogspot.com/2010_05_01_archive.html
Joy in the Journey. Since we last talked . . . Wednesday, May 26, 2010. Since we last talked . . . So many things have happened since I posted last. I know this would not happen if I wrote more frequently. I am a flawed soul. In December Phil's parents took us ice fishing, where I caught my first fish ever! It was a lot of fun and not as dramatic as I thought it would be. ;). I have since moved to a part-time postion. Mary is on the left and Heidi is on the right. Everything was gorgeous. It was so g...
