Moving on into January

I guess I need to get blogging about January, now that it's the 12th and lot has happened.

I don't know if I can really catch up, so here is a rundown of the new year:

~back to school!! Yeah. Vacation was great, but I was ready for the kiddies to get back so I can get going on the house.

~Landon was VIP at school and was so excited to show his pillow pet and zoobles.

~I am still in Primary-this time I'm teaching Jordan's class. She was so excited when she found out. I taught this class the first year I started in Primary, but there are 2 new kids that I didn't have before-Lizzie and a little boy named William. He was in our ward back when I first got married, but then it switched boundaries and he wasn't, now he is back again. We had a meet your teacher breakfast and had a great time.

~We went to a baby shower for one of Jordan's teachers. It was really nice. The house was gigantic-the main level was probably as big our town home.

~Darin made me a list to get started on for our impending move. We have driven by a couple houses and are anxious-me especially-to find a good house for our family.

~We did look at a house on New Year's day. I have been eyeing it for some time. It had been for sale, then rent, now for sale again. I was pretty excited and hopeful-it was in an area we like. But, unfortunately, there were things we did not like. The bedroom was not any bigger than ours is now. And the closet was tiny. Not adequate for the suits that Darin has acquired for his now job. I was really bummed. Everything else was great, or could have been fixed to our liking easily. Ah well, keep looking.

~I started teaching my classes at the REC Center again. I was so tired the first day. I teach 3 classes then go right to get the kids from school and do Brownies. Mondays for the next 10 weeeks are going to be very exhausting. I tried to get out of teaching the Monday ones, but they really needed someone. So I teach 3 tumbling on Mon, 2 soft play room on Tues, and 2 tumbling on Friday. It will be nice to earn some money to do stuff for the house to get ready to sell, but I'll be worn out. The classes are for 10 weeks, then I'll have a week break before the next session starts. I'm not sure what I'll be teaching then, but it won't be on Mondays, that's for sure!!!

~We are in the full swing of girl scout cookie sales. It is really a pain. It is so cold that I don't really want to walk Jordan around the neighborhood, so I have been driving her around to ward memebers and people we know. I'm not sure if she'll get the same initial sales as last year, but we're hopeful. I'll see how many she has sold, the buy the amount she needs to get to the prize level she wants.

I haven't rally sad down to do some serious goal setting yet-I feel a bit overwhelmed with all I am doing at the moment, I feel like I just have to keep my head above water!! We are trying to figure out if we should do a pod to store our stuff, or get a storage unit. We are going to have to move a lot of stuff out to get the house ready to sell. We have a lot of work ahead of us, but I really want a bigger house, so I'm going to do it.
