My banishment

So, we've been spending a lot of time at our school at the moment... Teaching, planning, painting... Yep, we volunteered to repaint the school to make some extra shopping money for LA... Which brings me to my current banishment. Apparently paint and I do not get along. Or rather, we get along a little too well... As I am currently resembling some kind of crazy paint monster. It's not so much that I got a little paint on me, but that it at some point it looks like I rolled around and swam in the paint. Which has led to me sitting on a table, updating my blog while Michael paints. Oops!

A Little Note

I think you will have noticed the "Reason #_ why I miss Michael" posts.. One for every day that we have been apart while he has been teaching and staying in Chelmsford. Just so he knows I haven't forgotten about him :) But tonight he comes back for just a couple of nights, before he leaves again for another two weeks. So I shall be awol for that time, as I spend every second with him!

I hope you all have a lovely weekend!

Also, I noticed that I have a few followers now on bloglovin. While I appreciate your support, it is anonymous! So please follow me on the Google followers as well, so that I can check out your blogs as well!

Reason #10 why I miss Michael

He is romantic. He continually surprises me with little thoughtful gifts, love notes, and cute surprises. Also some big gestures... He took me to Paris for one birthday, Valencia for another... This is not the reason I love him, but he always finds a way to make my life extra special and sparkly.
