Update from Tennessee

Hello everyone! Well, for the 2 or 3 people that actually read our blog, I thought it was time to update it. We have sold the house, loaded up the moving truck and now have all of our stuff in storage in Mark's parents basement. I am staying with my dad and family for right now until we find a house. Mark is still working in North Carolina and will arrive in Tennessee on June 5.

Mark got the job in Clarksville, Tn, which is the same town I am working in. He starts his new job on June 7. We will take a family vacation to Minnesota on June 13 fro a week. We are looking forward to that very much. I know Mark is ready for a little rest.

For now we are house hunting via Internet and have a realtor who will show us some houses this week. We would like to buy this summer, so we will see how that goes. The dogs are split up into two houses, KC is with me and Bailey is with Marks parents. They don't like being separated, but they are doing o.k.

I started teacher training last week. Things sure have changed since I did my student teaching. I am looking forward to working in the school system. This seems to be a great school system. I have also been shopping for clothes for work. You would think after being in college athletics for 8 years...I would have enough clothes!

I am trying to help our parents as much as I can. Taking Frank (father-in-law) to doctor and therapy tomorrow. Trying to help with whatever we can, so I don't feel like a lazy slug.

That is about all the updates for now. I will try to do better at keeping you posted. Have a great week!

WE ARE MOVING!!!!

Well, it has been a long time since my last post. I have been so busy with softball season. We just finished a very disapointing season, and I am officially working my last two weeks at Elon University.

I have accepted a position at West Creek High School in Clarksville, TN. It is a brand new high school and I will be a Physical Education Teacher and the head softball coach.

We put our house on the market and with the grace of god, it sold in 11 days. Someone upstairs was looking out for us. There were two houses in our nieghboorhood that have been for sale fr a long time, and we just got very lucky to sell our so quickly. We close on the house on May 15, but the new owners will let us stay in there until May 26...rent free....so nice of them!

Mark has put in for a transfer to a Best Buy in Tennessee. He has had three phone interviews thus far. We are praying for the job in Clarksville, TN as an Operations Supervior. That would be the ideal position, however, we will not know until the end of the month. Please keep him in your prayers as he has been a very patient husband through all of this and I just want him to find a job he will be happy in.

Our final day in North Carolina will be May 25. We will be leaving that morning with the moving truck. Mark may have to stay and work for a little longer depending on his job transfer.

Please keep us in your prayers as we are waiting on news about his job. We love and miss you all and can't wait to be in Tennessee!
