Kentucky bound!

Well, it's official. We are moving to Kentucky! I'm a bit stressed about everything that we need to do, namely me getting a job. Chris got a job at a high school in northern Kentucky and we are moving into an apartment in Florence. A one bedroom. From a three bedroom house. Ha. Should be interesting! I'm excited though.

I just read my last post and realized what I had said. My principal called me in to her office and told her that I was going to teach 5th grade next year because she knows that I can handle it and I have strong classroom management. So this was very nice and I would have been with my kids for another year! But I feel like with all the change going on anyway, it is a good time to go.

On another note, this summer has been CRAZY! I've loved it though...I go crazy just sitting around which is another good reason I need to find a job! We got out of school in June and I had a week of meetings to improve things for next year. Well, they finished early which worked out well because Chris got an interview in KY. So we left and stayed there overnight and headed to Michigan after that. While we were at his mom and dad's house, he got a call to offer him the position. We stayed at his parents for a few days and then headed to my mom's. We were there for a few days and then flew out to Colorado to go to my sister's wedding. We got to go swimming in the hot springs and had a good time. Then it was back to Michigan and after two days, Chris headed up north with her parents while I went to California to stay with Jenny for her birthday. Surprise! :) I had a great time. I got to see my dad and go golfing and spend time with him. I also got to see Wendy and Nicole and spend lots of time with Jenny and everyone at her house. We did lots of shopping, went to a baseball game, ate Jamba Juice, and lots more. I had a great time. I flew back and we stayed with my mom for a few days and then back to Perry with his parents. Then, we headed to KY and stopped by to see Mark's family which was nice on the way. We found a new place to live and got back to NC this past week. I found out some crappy news about applications that I fixed and we have been hanging out with people to say our goodbyes and starting to pack up. It's crazy. Bittersweet, for sure. I will really miss people here, especially my kids and some good friends I have made, but I feel like we need to move on.

Haha. Crazy NC weather..it's now storming. I love summer.

Life.

Is it sad that I feel like I need to add this to my to-do list? 1. Post on blog. Now I wish I had, just so I could have crossed something off. I am so obsessed with to-do lists, I'm surprised I didn't.

I'm officially 25. That's crazy. I feel old now. My birthday was awesome, though....even though I turned 25. Chris surprised me with Jenny coming to visit. If you don't know Jenny...she's only my best friend since I was 3. I'm surprised you didn't know that. haha. Sometimes I think I'm funny...sorry. We got to hang out and go shopping and play games and take pictures. It was sweet. I just like hanging out with her and it had been almost 3 yrs since we had seen each other. Best. birthday. present. ever.

Well, it is June. Chris is out of school and I'm almost finished. I have 6 1/2 days with students, then some meetings and workdays. My kids take their retest for reading tomorrow. I'm really ready to get out of here. I love my kids, I will definitely miss them. However, it's not like I'll have them again next year or anything. Oh well. We are looking into Kentucky and Michigan for the job search. Pray that we find something, because we sure are. Part of me loves North Carolina, but I feel like our life is standing still while we're here. I hope we get jobs.

Well, dinner is ready. Love to you all! :)

Whoops.

I pretty much forgot about this. All those promises of pictures? Well, now you see my true colors. I suck at doing things like that. Well, now halfway through my 2nd year of teaching. I love teaching still. I love the kids, mostly. I enjoy hanging out with them all day, especially when they behave better because I have a better handle on things! I just don't know what is in store for us next. Kentucky has been on my heart the last few days, but I'm not sure why. It doesn't hurt that I also got really frustrated with my school this week. When I get to shut my door and everyone leaves us alone, I have a great time. It's all the other stuff that I don't like. Chris is finishing up making his 2nd batch of beer, which exploded in the first few stages. Thanks to my genius self, it exploded in the tub, which made it MUCH more okay, seeing as how we won't be charged for beer stains on carpet in the closet and it was easier to clean up. I hope it still turns out okay.

On another note, we moved into a house in Fayetteville this past summer. House? Love it. We have a fence, even though it isn't a privacy one. We have a wonderful kitchen, which is probably my favorite part of the house. I even have a table for scrapbooking now! :) I would promise pictures, but then I'd probably be lying. Sorry.

I'm torn, I feel like we have so many decisions to make. I think I mostly just worry too much. Do not worry about tomorrow, for it will take care of itself, right? Right. I have to remember that one. This year is so much different than the last. We hang out with different people, we know what we're doing more, and we know what to expect! We also started a healthy eating thing. It's extreme, but that's how I work best. It's called Eat to Live and it pretty much changed my life. We have since started being much healthier and we just joined a gym because we have more energy! Now, we get to play raquetball and all sorts of stuff! I'm going to try a dance class tomorrow night. I'm sure it will kick my butt and I will be sore, but I'm SO excited! I've lost 14 lbs now. I think we're on week 3 still. I've lost track now. I do feel better though, I have to admit.

Anyway, it's way past my bedtime. Goodnight, all.
