Just joking...

The never ending saga of trying to live together continues.... I was really just joking in the last post about the house being gone because now it's back on the market and we are meeting today to make an offer! The roller coaster goes up, the roller coaster goes down and sometimes if you're really lucky, it goes back up again..... We got lucky.

P.S. It's our one year anniversary on Sunday. SO many things to celebrate. Life is good right now in this moment.

Gone...

Grant and I thought that we would be together this fall in a house that belonged to both of us but unfortunately the house is gone. Our realtor was setting up a second viewing and it was suddenly listed as sale pending. Some disappointing news but we'll gather ourselves and try again. There are not a lot of houses to be had so wish us luck.

Ok, Ok, I'll post something already....

So, as you all know, things have been progressing rather slowly and Grant and I have several irons in the fire. Nothing big to report as of yet but within the next couple of weeks, we may have some exciting news to share. No, it's not baby time, so just relax already. In the meantime, it was brought to my attention that I need to start posting more (big surprise!) so I'll just prattle away about things until something phenomenal occurs.

This is pretty amazing, check out my grams!!! Is she awesome or what? Grandma turned 90 this past week and she arrived for her big party in grand fashion.



Here she is with her ginormous cake


And last but not least, all of her offspring... wow! That's a lot of family!



Love you Grams.

Do your fingers hurt?

So I know that all of you have had your fingers crossed for some time now... But just a little while longer and we may have found our new place to reside... Grant was offered a position in Waseca and we visited there Friday afternoon after his interview. What a great town. It is small enough for Grant and close enough to slightly larger towns for me. The math program is great at the high school with 78% of students passing their MCAs and a potential art position for me next year. There's a lake and a campground a quaint downtown with some antique shops but also a Target about 20 minutes away in Owatonna. Cross those fingers for just a bit longer....

No more Dilemma...

The job offer I received this week is no longer an option. Grant and I discussed it over and over again and decided that it was not in our best interest for me to take it. I will call them tomorrow and decline. Please start sending some positive thoughts our way. We really could use them in the next few weeks. My current goal is Forest Lake for Grant. Keep your fingers crossed again, please.

Dilemma...

I've been offered a job, other than the one I recently received in my own school district. This new job is only part-time, at the elementary level, is 45 minutes away from Grant and will put me three hours away from my family. BUT! I will live with Grant and have loads of time to be crafty and practice making babies. Suggestions? We don't have too many specifics about the new position regarding benefits and such but you can be sure that Grant and I have some serious chatting to do this weekend. Wish us luck!

Fingers Crossed

Grant has an interview!!!!! Yippie! Keep your fingers crossed! This is one of the two places that would be a great fit for him (and me too!)
