Ohhh...We're Half Way There!

Amazing what a difference 6 weeks can make. Here are some of the latest pictures of our new home. We are still on schedule to close in October. What a wonderful birthday present that will be!

Slacking On The Blog!

It's been so long since I blogged last, that I don't even know where to start. Let me do a quick rewind of my life the past 6 weeks. My mom came in town to visit for about a week in mid-July. When it was time for her to go home, I flew back to Utah with her to help her clean out the basement and have a garage sale. It was a successful trip for 2 reasons...a.) We got my parents house almost all ready to put on the market so they can move back to GA...Yayy!!... and b.) My parents let me keep the proceeds from the garage sale to help with our closing costs in October. I flew back to Georgia about 5 days before I was supposed to go back to work. However, just a day or so before then, I found out that my county was being furloughed for 3 days. 3 days = $635 less than what I signed my contract for! Booo! It really irked me and honestly still does, but I promised myself I wouldn't go on and on about it. I'm just thankful to have a job! After my 3 involuntary days off, I was left with only 2 days to get my classroom all set up and get ready for the first week of school. Technically, I had to get everything set up in just 1 day because the kids came for "Sneak Peek" the second day I was back. Everything from that point, right up until this past weekend is kind of a blur. I haven't been that busy since before my wedding, and it was a hard adjustment. School officially started the following Monday, and I have been adjusting to my "back to work schedule" ever since. Whew! It’s been crazy…but sometimes crazy is good…right?!?!
