Funny that I have never had a blog before, considering that I'm an English teacher and all. I'm going to be having my students use a blog as part of my curriculum this next school year, so I guess this is a good place to start and get familiar with the program.
Stephen is going to roll his eyes (possibly) when he finds out I set up a blog for us. But here's my justification: mostly the blog is for our personal "history" benefit--I tend to have a hard time keeping up on my journal and our everyday "ah-hah" moments, and this will be one step towards recording that information.
An update with what is going on in our lives right now: We are currently living in Duchesne, Utah. I am in my final week of graduate school, (in fact, I am in class right now--guilty), and will earn my M.Ed within the week. I'll be more than relieved to be done, and Stephen will be even happier because he'll get to see me for more than a few minutes each day :-) It seems like I am finally reaching burnout, and it's time to move on from school. I've loved my learning experiences, and am excited to continue to learn through life, but I'm ready to be done with homework, at least for the time being.
Stephen is currently working at Wells Fargo as a service manager. He's been looking for managerial positions, which could mean a move within the next few years. It's hard to think about the possibility of moving because we've gotten quite comfortable with where we're at, but we can't afford a house in Duchesne. I'm a little bit bitter about this . . . we could afford one in St. George, Cedar City, Provo, Logan, Idaho, Arizona, Salt Lake City . . . but not in Duchesne. Prices are still inflated here, and we could get a new house for HALF the asking price of a home in Duchesne if we lived in a different town. (I've been doing lots of price comparisons on RE/Max.) We'd love to stay in Duchesne, but if there's a position somewhere where we can actually afford a quality home, we're going to take it.
There's my little rant about the economy and the housing market. Interesting how writing can take you in directions you're not expecting.
