So, I know I’ve really slacked off on the blog here. I guess now’s just as good a time as any to give an update. So, here goes…a nice recap of the latter half of 2007. A time to reflect before we move on in 2008. Well, our summer wrapped up nicely with a visit from each of my sisters and their families. I started my new job at my new school. I teach 9th grade Language Arts and am the Student Government Advisor. My new school is much different from my other school. I’m now teaching on the beach—you know, surfer kids, beach bums and such. SGA is fun but a lot of work. I planned homecoming week, which was very interesting because when I was in high school we didn’t even have a homecoming. Vance continued to work on getting his Landscape Architect’s license (a very long and involved process) while taking on more at work. He’s taken a few tests and still has one left to take. Vance also continues his obsession with our yard and it’s coming along nicely. We actually got two oranges off of our orange tree and lots of tomatoes, peppers, rosemary and basil out of our garden.
We’ve taken a few trips as well. We came in to Baton Rouge for the LSU vs. VA Tech game. That was a lot of fun because we got a chance to hang with Baton Rouge friends and we had friends from Florida who came with us too. We went to South Bend, Indiana for a Notre Dame game. We had a great time. We went with our friend Taylor, a Notre Dame grad, who showed us around. It’s a wonderful, beautiful place. We also accidentally went to Michigan…twice. We went to Biloxi, MS and spent a night at the Hard Rock Hotel. It’s a really cool place. I would recommend it for a quick little getaway.
Well, that’s the quick recap. I think 2008 will be wonderful. Our 4 year wedding anniversary is on January 10. Hard to believe it’s been 4 years, but then again in some ways I feel like I’ve known Vance forever. I wish everyone a great new year. Look for more frequent updates.
