Here's our biggest news yet - Nate has a job!!! He will be the assistant principal at Centerton Gamble Elementary School in the Bentonville School District beginning TOMORROW/Thursday. I can't say enough that the fun just doesn't stop.
Stepping into a Corona Commercial
So we had an absolutely amazing vacation, of which I'll post pictures sometime soon. When diving, we saw reef sharks, a sea turtle and an eel as big as me (Jen), among various other things. And if you've ever wondered when watching those absolutely perfect Corona commercials if there are really places like that that exist, they do. We found it. That's about the best way to describe the week we had.
And here's a shout out to our new friends Les, Annemarie, Terese and Darren from Milwaukee, whom we met and hung out with quite a bit during our perfect vacation. Guys, our trip back was WAY better than yours. (Sorry.)
The boys are getting excited
Courtney spent the week with the boys while we were gone, and we thank her for wearing them out with Oceans of Fun, the KC Zoo, swimming and who knows what else. They are now ready to get to Arkansas.
Nate, Edra and Beau went down on Monday for Nate's interview with the superintendent. So Beau has been swimming in the pool, and I hear he LOVES the slide. Brayden was not happy that Beau was first in the pool. Brayden is excited, though, that he'll get to go to school with his daddy. The school is just a few miles behind our house. Things have fallen into place beautifully. I'm so proud of and excited for Nate finally getting his true, permanent administration job.
The rest of the week
So here's where we stand. The house is nearly all packed except for electronics (this computer), the garage and the shed.
Thursday
We're all going to Bentonville tomorrow so that Nate can start his job and because I really need to be in the office for a few meetings. Grandma and the boys are going, too, and I'm sure it will be all pool, all day. We'll drive home tomorrow night.
Friday
I'm working in KC, and Nate is focusing on packing his office at his old school, the rest of what's here and moving stuff out of storage and mom's house. If anyone's looking for anything to do, I'm sure he could use an extra set of hands. The keg-o-rator is still plugged in, fyi :-)
Saturday
MOVING DAY! It begins at 8 a.m. Edra (Nate's mom) will keep the boys and bring them down to Bentonville Sunday afternoon.
Sunday
Truck arrives at the house in Bentonville.
Monday
Work begins full-on in Arkansas. Grandma and the boys will live the really difficult life of hanging at the pool all day. I feel so sorry for them.
Tuesday
Nate leaves for 3 days to go to a conference in Tulsa.
That's a wrap for now. We hope everyone is doing well as we continue to plug away and make this happen. We really do feel like this has all been a big blessing as everything fell into place absolutely perfectly. The only outstanding item is to sell our Blue Springs house. It should be on the market next week if you know anyone who is interested.
