Check Check

Check #1 and #2 off The List. Kevin and I both have jobs! Kevin will be working at Urban Concrete as a project supervisor. Here is a link to their snazzy website: http://www.urbanconcrete.com/ He officially starts June the 9th. I teach until June 5th, so we will move down that weekend.

I will be teaching first grade at MVISD. I am very excited about having my own class next year. First grade is a lot of fun, but very challenging because you are teaching the students how to read. But it is very rewarding because you can really see the gains that the students make over the year. It will be an adventure for sure, and I will have to keep you all updated throughout the year.

In other news, the house has not sold. The couple that sounded so promising decided to rent for a year in another town. Bummer. Since then, the house has not shown at all. Every morning I run around and make sure the place is spotless and all picked up just in case someone comes by to look at it during the day. Nothing. So, I have decided to take a new approach, and just leave things as they are. I just know that the day I leave my blowdryer out on the counter and don't sweep the kitchen before I leave, someone will come and look at the house. If that is what I have to do to get someone in there, so be it.

Sooooo, it looks like we will be living with my parents for now. It should be a party! I keep teasing her telling her that she added on to her house just in time for me to fill it up with my stuff. We laugh about it, but I really am serious.

Luckily, we have not found a house to buy that we can't live without. When our house does sell, we are planning on renting until we either find something worthwhile, or buy a lot to build on.

Sorry it has been so long since my last post. Things were dragging on for a while and not much was happening. Things are rolling now and we are ready to start our new lives!
