September

Here are a few pictures from our trip to the Olympic coast at the beginning of September.

Well it is finally feeling like fall. It has been an enjoyable September and we are happy to have had such nice weather. I think my students also enjoyed the sunshine and we had about 5 fire alarms pulled in the first few weeks of school. They were mostly right at the beginning of 6th period and we even had 2 in one period last Friday. We'll see if those keep happening now that the rain has started.

Teaching is going well and I am busy keeping up with planning, grading, meetings and my energetic high school students. This marks the completion of the first month and so far I really enjoy it. David is busy at his job tutoring and has been studying for the next Actuary exam in the mornings before he goes to work at 3. Together we have no doubt the worst schedule we've ever had but we are making do. I leave for work at 7 and get home around 3:30 M-F. David leaves at 3 and gets back at 9:30. He has Fridays off but then has to work 11-5 on Saturdays. We are trying to take advantage of the time we do have together so if you haven't seen us for awhile, that is why...we are busy.

I am now at 20 weeks which is an exciting milestone...halfway there. I can feel the baby kick and enjoy knowing that there is a little person in there. My students still don't know I'm pregnant so I'm not that big yet but I think in the next few weeks things will change. Tomorrow we are having our first ultrasound and will find out the sex of the baby. We can't wait!

We also have some other exciting news...we found an apartment. We just found out today that our application was accepted so we will be moving into our own place pretty soon. We will be living in the Shoreline/Seattle area on Greenwood.

Well that is about it. I'll try to post more soon.
