Happy Birthday to Me!!

An update on live so far here in Phoenix.  Tyler and I started school August 12 and 13.  The year is going amazing.  We both love our classes and our new schools.  It has been quite an adjustment, having to commute to work now, but we still enjoy it.  Both of our schools are very supportive of us, and help us get done whatever we need.  Tyler has 68 sixth graders, and I have 20 amazing third graders!!  They helped me celebrate my birthday yesterday, and that was such a blessing.  After school we even played a game of wiffle ball (the staff), just because we wanted to.  We are so blessed to be here, and even though finding a house is on hold, we are still enjoying being married, and the curves of life!

A hold on moving

Well, we have had to put a hold on our house hunting.  We got the numbers back for our mortgage guy, and it wasn't as good as we had hoped for.  So now we are hoping that we will be back to our Christmas plan.  It may not work out that way, but we are hoping.  I know that by the time we are ready to buy a home the one that we will fall in love with will be there.  

We are both working on getting our classrooms together.  I had my first staff meeting on Monday, and Tyler's first one was on Friday.  So now we both have a little over a week to get every thing together for kids to come!!  I can't believe how short our summer has been this year, but that's okay.  Hopefully I will be working on my masters starting this fall as well.  I have applied to Concordia Wisconsin, and I am just waiting to hear if I got into the program.

Jim and Nina came to visit us that weekend, so that was a blast!!  We went and saw Step Brothers on Friday night with Matt, Katie and Andy.  Yesterday we gave them the whole tour of the area.  Went to Shepherd, Christ, downtown, Valley, all over.  Then last night we played lots of games.  They had to leave early this morning though, so no more excitement today.  We miss them already!!
