Update Update!

Wow, I think this has been the longest I have gone without blogging.  I've actually been on pretty consistently to catch up on family and friends, but I just haven't found the time lately to update my own.  BOY, do I have some BIG news to update you guys with.  Here's what our family's been up since March, lol.

• I went back on track the last week of March.  I tried to thoroughly enjoy my last month "off track" as our school is going traditional in the fall.  Time with the kids are sure bittersweet.
• Tim has been teaching his first college level class (he acutally finished it last Monday).  CBU has the HOTTEST CIS adjunct EVER!
• Budget cuts around the district has had everyone grumpy.  Work has been very difficult in that sense.
• My students are ready to graduate (not literally).  It's been difficult to motivate them to keep pushing onwards.
• Natty started up round 2 of "gym-sticks" (gymnastics) - as she calls it.

Now....here are the BIG news.......drumrolls.........


we




bought




a



HOUSE!!!!!!!!


Yes!  We are in the exciting stage of escrow.  We will be moving in about 45 days into Riverside.  We're so excited.  I know it will be more of a reality when we get the keys, but we are so grately to see the end of renting in sight.

Somethings we are so very thankful about...

• God knew which house was  ours and kept us sane until we found it.
• God has been in charge and in the fore-front of our finances and has truly made all this possible - AND BETTER - than we expected.
• Our kids will each have their VERY OWN room!
• We will have a yard for the kids to run around and BE KIDS!
• There is a park within walking distance, with an awesome playground area, and very well kept.
• NO HOA's.

Now the big task begins of getting stuff sorted, and packed.  I have no sick days to take (since they were all taken when I was on maternity leave when the school year started), and Tim's preparing for 2 classes - one starts Wed., and another the second summer session in July.  Time management will be crucial for us.  I absolutely REFUSE to move junk.  So have our work cut out for us, but we are so excited to be seeing the light at the end of the tunnel to having a place to truly call OURS. 

Thanks for reading my very lenghty blog.  I cannot wait to share pictures with all of you - COMING SOON!
