Getting Ready to MOVE!
So, this is the photo from the real-estate site. More to come after settlement on Friday and moving Saturday!!!!
Our house: Little front porch, living room with a corner fireplace, dining room, kitchen, master bedroom with three closets! Two other bedrooms and a bathroom, back porch, and a yard with a garage. 
This whole weekend = emptying out Emily’s house (she rented a dumpster) tiling and finishing the laundry area and bathroom, and PACKING!
The week is going to be crazy. Thankfully I’m off on Friday the 15th and Monday the 18th so we can get moved and settled before I start another whacky week.
Home sweet home!
Well, apparently it is Norristown, because we will make settlement on OUR HOUSE in ten days! I am really excited that we are going to be able to make a home for ourselves.
The Variety Show
In school the other day my cooperating teacher explained to the kids that Ed Sullivan ran a variety show. This is a variety post, because it contains a little bit of everything.
First, my placement is the very best I could have hoped for. My cooperating teacher is a great teacher and person, and very easy to talk to and work with everyday. The staff in general is very nice and the kids are polite. Who knew that middle school students would be polite? I have had a few little teaching experiences thus far, but I am excited about tomorrow. I’m working with the 9th grade clarinets, and then teaching-wise I really take off with classes!
Glenn and I have been fighting like nutcases because we are so stressed about finding a place to live. We had the perfect house (aka, nice area, decent house, but total fixer-upper) but it slipped through our fingers so to speak. I think we finally truced and realized that it is more the stress and disappointment speaking, because tonight was the first time either one of us was truly relaxed in awhile. We had dinner at our favorite place, Tosco’s, and had some pretty silly conversations.
Our realtor thinks we’re insane because we were talking about our future children, Skeletor and Evilynn, and calling them such. Not knowing it was an inside joke she made quite a face and was like “are you really naming them that?”
I did some scrapbooking before the beast that is student teaching began, but I didn’t ever post the photos. Here is one for my SAI sister Caroline’s recital
And our Members-in-Training put on a skit This is possibly my favorite-est page ever.
Leslie, I’ve been using all of the ribbon you sent me, and I completely went to town with the tag book! Thank you sooo much!
Speaking of SAI, we had our first meeting last night and it was WONDERFUL to see all of my sisters. I yelled at our president to take things like “commencement” off of the calendar. This semester is going to be amazing.
I hope these are enough ramblings to tide everyone over! (by everyone I mean the one person who reads this…haha)
There is an interior decorator in me just dying to get out.
Now that I am 22, essentially an adult, and almost into the working world, I want my own space. I moved out of my parents’ house and into the same situation. One room to call my own. The major difference that is a positive is the Glenn is here. The negative is that aside from that one little room in the house (actually, the basement) I have nowhere else that I can go in the house and feel comfortable; unless we’re the only ones home.
Emily was supposed to move in July. She was engaged, and is not anymore, and hence, never moved. She ended it; not him. Now, she is waiting on a job that is further away, and if she gets it, she will have to move. The only problem is, I don’t want us to be stuck with her house anymore. That was fine as the original plan, but now she has re-decorated and remodeled and re-everythinged the house, and I don’t want something that is so much hers and that she constantly reminds me is SO not mine.
More than the space, I want the power to decorate. I have one picture frame in the bedroom/basement that Glenn and I share. I have one tiny corner for nick-nacks, and no where to put anymore should I even acquire them. What I want more than anything is to move into a new place, pick out some paint colors and curtains and everything else, and make something that truly is mine and Glenn’s and no one else’s.
