It has been a really long time since we posted any new content. Things have been wicked busy (I always say that though), and we have been otherwse preoccupied. Actually, I can’t even really give any thought to a post now, because I am on lunch at work, and have to get back in a few minutes. But, to tide our 8 regular viewers over, here’s the quick rundown of events in our lives:
- We’re leaving for Disneyworld tomorrow, driving 18 hours, with 5 adults and 8 children. Woo-hoo!
- Jenny has spent the last two weeks planning and packing for the trip. She is home right now trying to get the cartop carrier on the van, without crushing herself. I’d go home and help, but I’d rather have all of that done, so I can just get in the car in the morning and say, “so, which direction do I go?”
- We have ordered a new front door for the house, and will be installing it in four weeks when it arrives.
- We are ready to place the order for 27 new windows.
- We are researching renovating our kitchen now, because Jenny wants a larger kitchen window…which means moving the cabinets…which means replacing the flooring…which means moving the fridge…which means taking out the soffit next to the fridge containing the chimney for the furnace…which means replacing the furnace…which means replacing the air conditioner and hot water heater too. That is one expensive frickin’ window!
- Brian has applied to get a second Masters Degree, in Educational Organizational Leadership, which will also result in a Type 75 certification needed for a head-of-school position. It is a two year cohort program meeting nights and weekends, starting in May/June.
- Brian is coaching kindergarten soccer again. Indoor just ended!
- Jenny and Brian competed in a family biggest butt biggest loser competition. It was started at the beginning of January, and ends this Sunday. Nine family members put $100 each into the pot, and competed to see who could lose the most percent of their weight. Brian has lost almost 12% of his weight (in second place so far), and Jenny has lost almost 10% of hers (3rd place). But, we were no match for brother James (that sounds funny), who is approaching a 15% weight loss! Brian plans to yo-yo back up immediately after the competition is over, to begin preparing for next year…gotta pack on those pounds! We’ll consider posting before and after photos when we get back from Disney.
I’m sure I forgot something big, but that is why I haven’t posted in a long while. Off to Disney!
