The new school year is back. If my calculations are correct (and they probably aren't because you all know by now I'm too pretty to do math) this will be my 28th first day of school in my life. You would think I would have the hang of it by now.
Having moved out of state to be closer to family I had the daunting task of finding a place to live. I went and looked at houses with realtors and used Craig's List as another source and as of Tuesday I had no place to live and was facing a 90 minute commute each way to and from the Ps house where I would have to stay. God bless the people at my school. Through the guidance counselor making a few calls I was put in touch with an English teacher who happened to have a house for rent. I pulled into the driveway to see it and I was sold already. Beautiful 2,000 square foot home with a full basement, 3 bedrooms, 2 1/2 baths, a dog run in the back yard, fireplace I could go on and on. It's on a country road that is hardly paved and besides all the corn and soybean fields there are only 3 other houses on my road. It's straight up country. As a matter of fact I made my first ever purchase from Tractor Supply yesterday. Big change from the city girl I was for 10 years but I'm looking forward to the tranquility and peacefulness of the country. I'm not going to lie though, every time I look out the kitchen to the cornfield that borders my backyard, I half expect Ray Leota to come out of the corn and want me to play catch with him. When I start hearing the "if you build it he will come" voice I know I'm in trouble.
I'm looking forward to a great year with great stories to tell all of you! Keep your fingers crossed for me on Monday!
Ready or not, here I go.....
