Next week: Work here we come!

Next week, school starts and L.L. Bean work starts! We are getting ready. Austin has been such a help in the classroom this week!! I'll have to post pictures when I take some:) I'm about ready....Just need to plan a few more subjects for the week. Planning is time consuming... Thankfully it's Sabbath and we can now rest for a wonderful 24 hours! Other than getting the classroom ready, we have not been up to much else. Tomorrow we were going to go to this rock climbing area nearby but it's raining now and 100% chance of rain tomorrow... fun fun.

Well that's about all for now! Have a wonderful weekend!

Busy, Busy, Busy

Wow... It's been a while since I've written anything! Sorry for those trusty followers.. haha... (don't think we have any...) Since our last post happened, here are a few updates.

  • Austin GOT the job at L.L. Bean!! Yah!! He starts on Sept. 1.
  • We got our cars registered and took them through the awful inspection... neither passed.
  • Got my car fixed and passed. Still saving funds for Austin's.
  • I've been teacher shopping and organizing!! I'm in the classroom full time now, getting ready for the kids the 31st.
  • We got a vacuum!! yah!!
  • We got our first living room chair from Matt and Jessica!!! YAH!!!!! Really tired of using a broken camping chair and our desk chair. :P (NH living is uptown, let me tell you! lol)
  • Austin had a root canal and loves his endodontist. Too bad we can't stay there. But we are moving on to Adam Sandler's sister. Not a bad move if I do say so myself. Dr. Katz (endodontist) says she's the best so that's where we're going.
  • We have a new hobby of selling our old school textbooks online. We've been amazed with the results! They go so quick!
  • Austin's dropping out of the NCIS phase but I am still going strong!
  • Austin got a new/old bike to fix up... He needed a hobby since I'm at school. :)
  • OH, I went to our pool for the first and only time. Very nice to relax and read. I actually got very hot and had to get in but only for a few cold minutes:)
  • We've had Sabbath lunch at 2 families houses and one more to go tomorrow. This church family is very welcoming! :)
Well I think that's about the last few weeks in a nutshell. Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!

Exciting Week

This week was very fun because my parent's (Katrina) surprised me and came to visit!! And it was my birthday!! Mom took me "back to school" shopping, we ate at Olive Garden and then the following day we went up to Maine! It was a beautiful day and we drove up to Kittery Point where there is an old Fort on the coast. Beautiful view of lighthouses and sailboats! Sadly we had to take them to the airport the next day and say good bye once again...

Austin had an interview with L.L. Bean. He thought it went really well so we will wait and see! We know something will work out whether it's that job or something else! All in God's timing. For now I am happy he is available to come with me to my teacher meetings in Rhode Island tomorrow through Wednesday!

Yesterday we went and registered our cars and also go Austin's NH driver's license. I already got mine on Monday because my license expired then since I turned 25. It was pouring down rain but we made it! We ate a late lunch at Papa Gino's. Very good pizza!! The next people that come to visit, we'll have to go there:)

Today at church 3 of my soon-to-be student's got baptized. It was wonderful to be able to be there and support them. They had potluck afterwards... got to meet some more people and have a nice visit. Then we took a nap at home, Austin took a bike ride and then we took a walk near sundown.

We finally found the "Rolling Thunder" DVD Jay made about our move up here. (It had fallen behind the TV before we even got to watch it) It was so fun to watch it and Jay did a great job making it! Even though he made me and Andrea look a little boring... which we are very exciting people!! :P Anyways, we've had a great week and tomorrow we are off to Rhode Island until Wednesday.
