September...

Sorry I haven't written in a while, lots has happened since I last blogged and for the most part its been good :)

I've been working at La Vergne High School in La Vergne, TN (a suburb east of Nashville) teaching U.S. History for a teacher with a long term illness. The students there are good kids (for the most part) but I have found it challenging being a young teacher because they all think I won't mind letting them do things which are against the rules, but all-in-all I've been enjoying teaching and the school I'm at. Due to some unexpected problems with my CA credential transfering over, I have not been able to be hired on permanently, but hopefully I will be able to resolve those problems soon.

Soon after I was hired, Daniel and I started looking for a house to buy. We focused our search in an area somewhat by church and on two specific subdivisions of townhomes. We ended up putting an offer on a townhome and our offer was accepted! We just closed escrow on the house and now have the keys to our first home, crazy!

It is a two bedroom, two and a half bath with hardwood floors on the bottom floor. We will be moving in this weekend and I am SO excited to settle more permanently into a place of our own!

In other news this month, Coco got really sick and had to stay with the vet for about a week :( It ended up that she just ate some string and so it made her sick until she got it all our of her system :) It was pretty scary however because at one point the vet thought she might need really expensive sergery and we would not have been able to afford it so we were trying to gear up for making a big decision about her which was so sad :(

Most recently, I was able to fly home to go to Caleb McCallister's (my best friend, Megan's, brother) wedding. I got to spend some time with my parents, Ed, Kris and the kids, and Megan, so it was a great weekend! The wedding was beautiful and the setting made me miss CA :(

I'm not sure what's up with our blog, but it's not letting me post as many pictures as I would like, so I will try to add what I can when I can :) Love you all!
