So, THE house is ours, the one we've been looking for. It fits our personality, our style, and while a little dated we'll be keeping some of that charm and then updating the rest. We will be restoring it to where it once was when built. Deanna and I couldn't be happier. We knew what it looked like from the outside, but as soon as we walked in we said this is it, stop looking at anything else. Told the realtor we found it and to put in an offer. Working with the banks and sellers has not been fun, but we finally got through it.
This is quite a year. After almost 16 years of marriage and 6 kids Deanna has finally found the time to get her Bachelors degree. She graduates in one week. With a tight job market and us being location bound there were few job openings. Actually, she only applied to one. And then she got it. So she will have her first full-time job (outside of full-time mom, and volunteering, lobbying, LaLeche League, etc.) this fall.
Valen starts kindergarten this fall. This means for the first time ever we will have no children at home. All of our kids will be in school.
Then I go up for my last and final promotion this fall. I already have a draft dossier which I will submit for full professor, the highest rank possible.
Add it all up and we are having quite a year, a lot of changes, a lot of successes, and really feel like we are moving on to the next stage in our lives.
