We're MOVED in!
Hey everyone!
Ahhh, it's been a crazy last few days, but they are finally over! The movers came on Saturday morning, and it was craziness! We left for WV Saturday afternoon, and it was about a five and a half hour drive through some serious mountain ranges. My steering wheel was either cranked all the way to the left, or all the way to the right! We got in late Saturday night, and pretty much went right to bed. The movers arrived Sunday morning, and unloaded the van of all our stuff. John and I were work horses, and unpacked like crazy while the movers got the furniture into the house. The house is completely unpacked expect for my clothes, which is pretty good for moving in one day ago! I'll post some pictures over the next few days for sure! In some way, it's similar to our house in VA because it's older with hardwood floors, trim, fireplace and such. What we like much better about this house is that the rooms are much bigger than the other house. So far, it's a very cozy house with a lot of character. I can't wait for Christmas, it will be so beautiful with snow on the ground, and the trees. Pictures to come!

Yippee!
Good news...we rented our house in VA! We listed it about three weeks ago, and the contract was signed on Tuesday! It's a big sigh of relief for us that everything is taken care of here with our house. We didn't feel comfortable selling it, especially with the market right now, so we decided to rent instead.

Picasa
John and I love the computer program Picasa! You can make any regular old picture from your camera look incredible! There are a lot of effects you can use to enhance your picture. Here are some examples of pictures we've used Picasa on!

One of my favorite people!
Ginger is awesome, and we click so well! She was an assistant in my room the last two years, and I don't think I've laughed so hard with anyone at work before! I am going to miss her so much! For my goodbye gift, she made me a vocabulary book of words I'll likely hear in West Virginia. Big ups to Ginger!
Goodbye Quilt
My first graders made me a surprise project in art class, and gave it to me on Friday. They put together a quilt (out of paper) with little goodbye messages. Just another example of something that made me cry this week!
