Kind of a blur...

The last few weeks have been a total blur!! John and I have SO busy with a million different things! My best friend had her baby, so I was in for about a week and a half with her. Then we found out about three weeks ago that he got the job at Sentara in Hampton, and have been house hunting for a few weeks on and off. As soon as we found out about the job, we started packing our house in WV, and I started looking for jobs in Hampton Roads. Every weekend for the past 5 weeks we have been in VA, and driving back and forth, which gets old pretty quick! Although we LOVE our time in VA with our friends, the drive is horrible and we are glad that it'll be over soon! In some ways, being back and forth between states has helped because we've been able to use each trip as a way of transporting our packed boxes. Tomorrow, John will be arriving with a moving van full of our furniture, and the left over boxes that didn't fit in our car. We have both been busy little packing beavers!

It's difficult to be 'halfs-e-ing' it. We are in between places right now, and living out of suitcases. While we know that we'll be living in the area again, we don't have a house that we're moving into. Our gracious friends Stu and Claire are allowing us to stay with them for a few weeks during the 'transition' time. They have been great about the whole thing, and have opened their house to us! We put an offer on a house in Yorktown, and should be hearing back shortly. John starts work March 23, and for the remainder of the school year, I'll be substitute teaching, and tutoring after school. I'm in the process of looking for a full-time teaching position for next year, so if you know of any openings in any elementary schools...please let me know!

We leave for FL on Sunday, and we are SO excited!! We are going to be there for a wonderful 10 day vacation, visiting his grandparents, and doing little day beach trips.

Sounds like a very busy time right now, but I'm so glad you're going to be back in VA and closer to friends! Enjoy Florida and definitely stop in Sarasota to see my parents if you have the time. They would love to see you guys.
