Promotion!

I know I haven't been very good about updating this site. I am planning on setting aside one day a week to post the week's events.

As for the promotion news, I know it may seem a bit strange that a teacher would be 'promoted'. However, in New Mexico there are 3 teirs of teachers, each of which has a specific minimum pay. In order to get to level 2 I had to make this huge portfolio which mostly consisted of my 'BS-ing' a whole bunch of educational jargon. The document ended up being about 80 pages long. I would post it on here, but I kind of want people to come back every now and then =)

Anyway, that is the biggest news for now, other than the fact that we actually start school this week.

Buying a House

So we are buying a house. It is a very weird and scary experience. We have been working on closing for a little over a month and I honestly think that is the worst part. Sitting around and waiting for all of these things to be done is kind of nerve-wracking. We did our final walk through today and will be closing tomorrow. We are moving in tomorrow as well. I will try posting pictures later.

First Time As a Blogger!

Well, this is my first attempt at blogging. I started up a blog for our family because I was trying to find some information on the class of '99 MHS reunion. I found the blog site for the reunion at http://madisonclassof1999.blogspot.com/ and I saw that there were many others who had started up a blog. It was exciting to see people and what they have been doing for the last 10 years. Since we have not kept in contact with almost anyone I decided that we needed to start a blog so that we could at least catch everyone up on what we have been doing. It will take me a little while before this is all set up and up to date, so please be patient as I am very busy with life stuff at the same time. Hope you come back to visit! Oh, and if you are a 1999 MHS graduate and have a blog, send me a link to it!
