So, here's what we have been up to! School is great and exhausting. I love Deep River and everybody I work with. My students are way to sweet and they have some awesome parents. We had a pumpkin day today where we counted and sorted pumpkin seeds. The kids brought in 15 pumpkins! 15!!!! It was a fun day. But one thing I didn't expect was how different it would be to teach in a new county. In some ways I feel like a first year teacher all over again as far as staying late and getting everything done. But that's slowing down now that the first quarter is over and things are starting to feel a little normal.
Except that we still live with my parents. Which is fine and they are super helpful. But I never knew how much I would miss my own bed. Holy moly I miss that bed. We have had lots of people look at our house, which is great, but no bites yet. I hope we have our own place sooner than later. And I know we will. Just putting my faith into Gods plan for us! But I wouldn't mind if you said an extra prayer for us tonight. I would love to have a new house for Christmas! Maybe I'll add that to Lilly's list for Santa.
On more exciting news, Lilly is 99% potty trained!!! She is in panties full time, even during naps, but diapers at night. This is all because of her wonderful teacher at school. I was going to try and potty train her over the summer, but I was too lazy and didn't have a clue what to do, so thank goodness for her teacher that picked up my slack. Now she won't have to go to kindergarten in diapers! Score!
So, overall things are good :) We get to see Cole, Lindsay, Addison, Aunts, Uncles, and Grandparents anytime we want. And that has made everything else totally worth it. Even not having our own king bed to sleep in. Excited about our future :)
