We have a niece!

After having 3 nephews, it is going to be nice to have a little girl in the family! :)  Our niece, Myla Rose, was born on May 17.  She is healthy and happy.  I don't think Remy knows what to think of his little sissy.

The Joys of Grad Classes!

Well, I started my Teaching Writing class last night and it looks like it is going to be a lot of work!  I have 2 major projects/assignments, readings, and a blog to keep up on.  I'm sure it will be fun once my projects are underway, let's hope so anyway.  I stayed home today so I could get my reading done and my first big project started since I have 2 drafts due Wednesday night!  I haven't had homework in awhile so I hope I can get used to it again and I hope that the class will fly by!  I have 6 1/2 weeks of this class and then I'll be done with classes until the fall! 

Kevin starts his class on Friday night.  I wonder if he'll have as much work as I do?  I guess we'll have to wait and see.  He's lucky though because he only has to meet 6 times (3 weekends) and he's done.  

Well, we only have 4 weeks of school left!  I am still waiting on that call from Muskegon Christian.  Last I heard, they were still viewing applications so I'm waiting to hear if they've made any other progress lately.  I've been praying daily about getting a call from them.  I really need a teaching job next year.  If I don't get one, I'm not sure what I am going to do.  I don't know what my next step will be.

May 9

Tomorrow is Kevin's 26th birthday! :)  He gets to share his special day with his mom  (and all other mothers), since it is on Mother's Day.

Today, Kevin aerated the lawn and he is planting grass seed tomorrow.  He has been putting soil down and the lawn is looking so much better.  I can't wait until the backyard is looking good.  It will probably take awhile though.

We found out last week that our neighbor is moving out of state as he has accepted a job.  That means we will have another house for sale in our neighborhood and will have two empty houses next to us, one on each side. So if anyone is interested in purchasing a nice and newer house, come look next to us. :)

New Layout

I have updated the blog.  I think it looks much more appealing and inviting.  I hope you enjoy the new look. :)


Kevin has just started a blog for his classes.  If you are interested in reading it, go to klassensclass.blogspot.com.

YAY for warm weather! :)

It has been pretty warm the past couple of weeks and we've been loving it! :)  Today I went for a 2 mile walk, it was so nice! :)  Tomorrow, I plan on walking a little further.  Tomorrow night is Kevin's first softball game of the season!  I am very excited to watch and Kevin is very excited to play and get back into it! :)  The team looks like it is going to be a good one this year, we have a lot of younger guys so we'll see what happens this season.

I am starting my spring semester class on May 10th at GVSU as I continue to work toward my Masters Degree.  It's Teaching Writing, so I'm sure it won't be too hard.  I am excited to get that started and have one more class (3 more credits) under my belt.  I can't wait until I have the 18 credits I need to get my Professional Teaching Certificate.  Now if only I can find a teaching job. ;)  Kevin is starting his class on May 14th.  Lucky for him, his class only meets 6 times and his last day is the day after the last day of school!!  Kevin has also accepted a summer school teaching job which he will do in August.  He will work 4 days a week until 12, so that will be nice for him.  He is working for the City of Norton Shores in June and July.

Some of you know that I applied for a 5th grade teaching position at Muskegon Christian School for next school year.  I have been praying every night for an interview.  Last week, MCS emailed me and said they were still in the process of reviewing applications and calling references.  Please continue to keep me in your prayers as I wait to hear from MCS about an interview.  This would be a great job for me at this time. :)  We are also waiting to hear about Kevin's position for next year.  Right now, 12 people need to retire and so far 8 have turned in their paperwork and 4 have said they were going to retire but no paperwork has been turned in yet.  Please pray that Kevin will have a teaching position for next year.

Our next big project on our house will be underground sprinkling. We have purchased almost everything needed for it but are waiting to get started on that until we hear about Kevin's job.  Hopefully, we'll be able to install the sprinkling! :)
