Ok,Ok….it’s Tuesday and I said I would update on Sunday.  However; I will point out that this is the second week in a row!   There is a lot going on right now on the house front so follow me kiddies, as we go on a journey through foreclosure and re-buying!

The two houses we had our eyes on last week ended up being sold before we could even ( Read more... )

Alright, Alright.   I am, as we all know, horrible at writing in either blog I have. As Rebecca says, “I don’t know what is going on with you because you never write!”  Well, it is Super Bowl Sunday and I have some time, so I’ll write and try to continue to write once a week.  Here is the quick and dirty of what is going on:

School:  I’m gaining ( Read more... )

Friends:

One of the wondrous perks of being a CCSD employee is the random free event.  In the case of this last Friday the free event was The Producers at Paris, Las Vegas.  But Cory, how does this have anything to do with the subject of your post, you ask.  Aha!  The star of the show was the questionable boss himself, Tony Danza!  How flippin' ( Read more... )

That's right Ladies and Gentlemen(and I use that term very loosely) it is that time of year again!  Today, September 25th, 2007 marks the 8th year that JoAnna and I have been together!  We have spent close to 1/4 of our lives together and from our perspective, that is a great thing.  The week is going well so far.  My kids have officially started ( Read more... )

Well Boys and Girls, I'm still alive.  My 7th Graders are still alive as well, so there's that.  I seem to be on much more solid ground with the kids than my fellow new teachers and I believe this is for two reasons: 1) my experience at the Eau Claire Academy taught me to be firm and fair and the kids respond to that.  I treat the kids that I ( Read more... )

Alrighty kids....here is the deal ( Read more... )

That's right Bando alum.....check this crap out:

While sitting through a day of paperwork and Dr. Harry Wong (check him out teacher friends) I found out I was sitting with a Coug.  Cool beans.  She was a Freshman in 2002 and once we got to talking I found out we had some similar teachers in the English Department.  She knows Neimer (who is doing ( Read more... )

Welcome to Salt Lake City dear reader:

We're officially 3/4 of the way to our goal.  We've been averaging about 7 hours of driving a day or so and roughly 420 miles each day.  Today was our shortest drive and we got into SLC around 4 so we walked the 6 blocks to Temple Square and saw the seat of the Mormon Empire.  I have to say, it was pretty ( Read more... )

Well kids....we're packed.  And by packed I mean there is enough room to drive our cars and that is about it.  We're taking four days to get there. Here to Lincoln, NE, Lincoln to Laramie, WY, Laramie to Morman Town, UT, and SLC to Vegas.  And....And....I'll e-mail out the new address and such shortly. Hugs and Kisses.

So I know we've all been remiss in updating this LJ thing; but times are fairly busy.  Here is what is going on in my neck of the woods:

1) Jo and I went to Vegas about 3 weeks ago and found a lovely little apartment to live in.  Here is a link to pictures and such : http://www.rent.com/rentals/nevada/las-vegas-and-vicinity/las-vegas/northwest-las- ( Read more... )
