• Still around

  See? What did I say about being horrible at blogging? Here's proof.

  I completed my second year at MMS as one of the art teachers. DH also started in Brookings as the assistant city engineer. So now we are trying to sell our acreage and move there. Just makes no sense for us both to drive, when we love the town, and the only thing keeping us here is our house/land. We don't have family here, and are still close enough to stay in touch with friends. It would also be great to have the kids in the same school system as me! We made an offer on a house, have an offer on ours, but it's contingent on our buyers selling their house. The owners of the house in Brookings couldn't wait any longer, so now the house search is starting over again. NOT my idea of fun. But with the price of gas, we really need to move. We spent over $500 on gas last month. Costs us about $100 a week when we are both driving, and another $25 in gas just to mow our lawn. Now that I am home for the summer, it SHOULD be better, but I still put on lots of miles hauling the kiddos.

  Let's see. The kiddos have grown a ton. Caitlyn will be a teen in September, going into 7th grade. Erin just completed 2nd grade, and will be 8 in August. James turned 5 in April, and will be starting kindergarten in the fall. Matthew is three until July, and running fast to keep up with big brother!
