Now starts the process of packing or selling all of our belongings and selling the house.....I've never been so stressed out in all my life! Not only do I have to do this at home, but I have to do it at school to.
School: RCHS has been my home for 9 years. I love this school, this job, my students; it's so much a part of me. I turned in my resignation this week and I know it won't sink in that I am not returning to good ol' C244 until August when we fly away. Right now it just seems like another summer break that I am thankful for. As I go through all of my stuff, I think, "wow, why do I still have TAKS scores from 2006?" and "why do I hoard pencils and paperclips?". Apparently I also have a very serious addiction to Calculus books since I found 6 of the same book with my name in it. I keep procrastinating the inevitable because I don't want to leave. I love it here, the students and teachers alike. I work with a great group of teachers and an incredible group of like-minded math nerds known as "the math department". And for some reason I have the words to "Closing Time" by Semisonic running through my head today.

Home: This is the home that Josh and I made. We bought it shortly after we got married, all 3 kids came home on their first day to this house, and I don't want to leave. Plus, if you've been to our house you know: we have a lot of stuff. A lot. I mean, really. Now I have to look at everything and think, "is it worth it to keep this in storage for 2 years....really....how bad do I like it....I mean, do I LOVE it?"
Since I will have a considerable amount of free time on my hands soon, I thought I should start this blog as a way to keep all of our friends and family informed of our new adventures. Please keep in mind I am a math person at heart and not the fluid linguist. I want to keep the "cheese" out of it too, but like I said, I'm a math teacher and some cheesiness might slip in by nature.
So here we go, on our big adventure!
