Hello again! I’ve
missed blogging. I didn’t exactly mean
to disappear, but somehow I did. Oh well
though… I intend to be back! I might not
be posting super often, but am hoping to maintain our goings-on once again
through the blog.
So, we have some catch-up to do!
1) Cody is officially
in graduate school at UTSA working towards a master’s degree in
Statistics. (Does that sound awful to
anyone else?? He has quite the math brain… whereas I quite avoid math when
possible.) He has already had several quizzes and just had his first tests! He
is doing amazing so far and I am extremely proud of him : )
2) I did post about finally being hired (again –yay!) but
have not said anything about how my first official year teaching is going. Quick recap: I got hired mid July to teach 2nd
grade. I had a new teacher orientation
for a week and then a regular work week before school started, and we’ve now
finished the seventh week of school! I
am enjoying it and am making it through somehow so far. I’ve definitely recently reached a point
where I have started to consistently feel stressed and a little overwhelmed…
but so far I’m still making it! This
month sounds like we’ll be starting a lot of new additional things… so we’ll
see how it continues to go once more is added into what we’re already doing.
3) We’re moving! (Again!) Over the summer we moved in with
Cody’s parents –Sue and Steve- before I was hired… since at that point we would
have no income with Cody back in school.
However, now that I am officially hired and working, we’ve decided to
move out to be back on our own again. We
recently found a duplex that we really like –and get this, it is only about 10
minutes from my school! Whoop! Compared to the 35 (no traffic) to 50 (with traffic)
drive I’m doing now… 10 minutes sounds freaking awesome. The only downside that we’re kind of nervous
about is a possible sound issue. We did
know of this in advance and made the decision to still go with the place. 1- It’s
under an airport, so there will be planes taking off. 2- Literally on a
semi-busy street, so street noise. And 3- extremely close to train tracks, so
train noises. SO… there are actually several possibly serious noise issues, but
for whatever reason we decided to go with it. Hopefully we don’t regret it! But
we are very excited and looking forward to setting up our own home again soon.
We move out this month on the 29th!
There are probably a million more little things I could
ramble on about… but I’ll leave you with general recaps and catch up info for
now. I hope to be back to blogging on a semi-regular basis again. But we’ll see
how that goes with me officially teaching now.
