The Green Monster

Reminisce with me, if you will, back to this post from early 2009. I was so proud of Joe at that time. Imagine my pride now that this project is complete! The second phase of our city's "EmX" bus rapid transit line opened to the public last Sunday, of which my hubby was the project manager. Now as I drive around our city, there are EmX buses everywhere, and all I can think is, "My husband made this happen". Amazing! Not that he would ever publicly admit this (being the humble man that he is), but he is also taking on a new role at the office. With the upcoming retirement of his direct supervisor, he will now be known as LTD's Facilities Manager... that's big stuff! I cannot express how proud I am, and how lucky Kai and I are to have such a wonderful Dad and Husband to take care of us! OK... enough mushy stuff...
On Friday, Kai and I took a ride on the new line with friends. It was a long ride, but the kids did great, especially with the promise of donuts at the end! Kai calls the sleek looking EmX buses "The Green Monster". Here are a couple cute kids on a bus.

The donuts, by the way, were super yummy. Yes, I had one... and yes, it was gluten free. The "Holy Donut" shop makes vegan donuts (and other baked goods), and they also offer GF! I thought the vegan GF donut was fabulous, but then again, I haven't had many baked goods over the past few months!

Hooray for Joe! I will have to take my kids for a ride, too. Funny, I thought this post was going to be about jealousy :).
