What's Goin' On...

Almost a month since my last blog -- I can't believe it! Life has been totally hectic.

Last month when I wrote, my student teacher was just getting ready to take over my classroom. The first three days were great. I was a little bored with nothing to do, but kind of liked it! On the third day, one of our other math teachers was forced to resign. While they are looking for a replacement, they asked me to take over all of her classes. Needless to say, it's been a lot of work and quite a stressful situation, since now I feel like I'm responsible for 240 kids instead of my normal 120. They have asked me to stay with her kids until Christmas break. So just a few more weeks....

Jon just returned from SFAS late Wednesday night. He did really well and was selected to do Special Forces. It looks like our next stop is Fort Knox, Kentucky, where Jon will attend Career Course. (I guess I'll have to change the title of my blog!) We're both pretty excited about the move since it's just 6 hours from home! We will be moving as soon as school school gets out for Christmas Break. Now if we can just sell our home! I told my principal and some members of the staff yesterday that I would be resigning. I was so nervous, but everyone was just wonderful and so supportive and understanding! I felt so bad since I knew they were already hurting looking for a math teacher, and now they will have 2 positions to fill before January. But nobody even seemed to give it a second thought -- they knew I was doing what's best for my family. What a relief!

It's so nice having Jon back again. He's so much fun and so funny! I just laugh and laugh! And he's been so sweet helping around the house and things like that. He is very excited about all that we have going on right now. He just found out that he gets to go to the Ohio State/Michigan game next weekend and is in heaven. I'm so happy for him! I'm going out of town next weekend, also. My mom and I are going down to Atlanta to help my little sister with her wedding planning. It's going to be so much fun!

Well, I'm off to clean the house. Our realtor is bringing someone by this afternoon. YAY!

Congrats to Jon! And, can I tell you how excited I am that you are moving to Kentucky?!? You do realize that you will only be 2 hours away from me. That means plenty of weekend visits, it will be nothing to drive up on a Saturday to hang out! I really mean it. And if you and Lauren want to meet in the middle in Nashville, you can stay with me and we can all hang out! Or I can drive down to Atlanta and we can hang out there. Lots of plans are going to be in the works. Plus, once I have the baby, you can come up and visit.

Good luck on selling the place. I'm sure you'll have no problems.

Will you be home during Thanksgiving at all? We are coming home for Thanksgiving and then will be home around the New Year. We are spending Christmas with Brady's family this year.

Welcome to the South!

I am soooooooooooooooooo excited!

I'm so glad is Jon is home and you don't have to be apart for a long time now. I am really really sad thinking that you'll be leaving CO soon though! We're going to miss you terribly! Who's going to show us yoga moves? ;)

Congrats to Jon! What an exciting time in your lives. I'm so happy you'll be closer to home so you can make it to the Fagan family functions more often :) Miss you!
