I'm Back

I cannot believe that it has been 2 months since I posted. There has been a lot happening during that time.

• I FINALLY moved into my house. I closed/moved in on July 23rd. Everything went smoothly on my end, but between the bank and HOA issues we couldn't close until then. I signed papers on the 17th and the seller agreed that I could paint the house that weekend. Well, I figured if I could paint, there was no reason I couldn't have the carpets cleaned, appliances delivered, have my mom clean the bathrooms and kitchen, and start bringing things over. I got the call that the deed had recorded at about the same time that my last piece of furniture was being delivered . . . good timing. I LOVE my house. I'll try to make a slide show to post with pictures. Thanks to my dad, mom, Les and Dave my house was completely ready to move into. Haley came over with me the evening I moved in and by the following day I had everything unpacked and put away.
• My Grandma passed away on the 19th of July. She went downhill so very quickly and we all knew that it was time. She was miserable. We had her funeral the afternoon of the my moving day and it was a very nice service.
• School started again and I have to say, I love my class!!! This is such a welcome change from last year. We are in a new building with some awesome technology and the kids are loving it! Plus, they are learning sooooo much more than my previous classes. On the one hand, it's sad that kids need a screen in front of them to be interested, but on the other, I say if it works . . .
• Today is the kick-off event for our WVBL II. I haven't been as good over the past two months as I should have, but I figure it's a fresh start. I have missed my workouts, as well as my friends. I am looking forward to getting back on track and getting myself in awesome shape!
