Very Soon......

We will be moving home!!!! Eladio told us just a few minutes ago that we may be able to move in by Wednesday. That is only 6 days away. I'm trying not to get too excited so I don't get disappointed if it takes a little longer but I don't think that's working. 

While it is very exciting to think about moving home it is also a little overwhelming since when we move in we still need towels, sheets, a bed, food, cookware etc, etc. I don't claim to be psychic but I see trips to Target and Bed, Bath and Beyond in my near future. 

Be prepared for a reoccupation party in the near future!!

Exciting Times

OK, so I have not been blogging much in a while but that is mostly because there just has not been much worth talking about that I don't already spend every minute that Im awake already talking about. Luckily the times they are a changin'; there is actually some exciting, and good things going on. 

First, I'll start with the house. We are getting very close to getting finished and ready to move in. We are looking at about 2 weeks right now. Even though we had a lot of trouble with our original contractor the new one is GREAT!! and things are looking even better than we had originally planned. 

The next, super exciting thing that happened is that I passed the Principal Exam. Woo Hoo. That gets one more thing off the list to being fully certified to be a principal. I have 2 classes left in school and then all that is left is a little paperwork and getting intern hours. I have done a few intern hours already and it has been a really nice change of pace to be principal for a day. I like the fact that things change all day long instead of giving the same lecture about electrons or how to calculate speed four or five times a day. 

The last thing that I will mention may not be quite as exciting for some of you but it is for me. In order to do some of the work around the house I have begun replacing some of the tools that I lost in the flood. I bought some and also got some for Christmas. I decided to upgrade some of them and they are awesome. So far I have used my new Makita circular saw, my Bosch Jig saw and my Dewalt orbital sander and they are so nice to use. Very smooth and plenty of power, I would highly recommend them all. 

Well, that's all for now, I'll try to get back here more often.
