So I know I have seriously neglected the lovely world of livejournal, but there is important news to share! Larry and I are getting married. He proposed to me by the Christmas tree while we celebrated Christmas just the two of us on the 20th before spending the next night with my mom and Christmas with his family in Vermont. The planning is in ( Read more... )

Well, it's that time of year. The school preparation has begun with the culmination being the return of the students on Monday. Our team got our class list last week and it looks like this year is going to be much better than last year! We have a total of 82 students (down from 94 last year) with a variety of cool personalities and disabilities ( Read more... )

As the days go on and only 19 days remain in the school year, things have gotten stressful with SOLs and whatnot right around the corner. So I decided that I deserve having the evening to myself (including the 2 hour Grey's!). Last night, I had discovered a case of several CDs that had been unlabeled. In order to identify CD Does, I load them ( Read more... )

A lot's been going on down here...short of the move (right off of 81 now with a great view of the Valley!!), I've started a ( Read more... )

I realize it's been a while since I've updated this thing and actually quite a bit has happened. Almost a month ago, I got to watch (and participate) as one of my closest friends was married. Beth is the first member of Zipken to get married! It was a beautiful ceremony and the bride was spectacularly gorgeous! It was also wonderful because of ( Read more... )

I know there isn't really anyone that still reads this, but I thought I would update just for the heck of it. It's been a bit of a roller coaster for the last couple weeks. It's been about two weeks since I slept through the night peacefully on a weekday night and if I do, it's one of those less than rejuvenating sleeps. It's made for the ( Read more... )

There has been a bit going on in the past week or so that has caused stress BIG TIME! Let's just say Larry and I contemplated moving to Vermont, actually partook of a job search, and while the possibility is VERY slim that we actually move up to the Burlington area, we're keeping it on the maybe list. I hate my job as it currently is. I hate ( Read more... )
