Well I have been very busy and have not gotten to update this in almost a month. We are all moved into our apartment! We are using our extra bedroom as our storage room and are not unpacking every box. We really do not have the space for it all. Our apartment is a two bedroom and two bathroom, about 995 square feet and that is a lot smaller than our house in Anchorage. The house in Anchorage is still on the market. If we do not have a contract here in the next three weeks we are going to rent it out as of October 1st. Ryan and I really want to buy a house here in Oklahoma once our lease is up in February. We have to sell our house or get a stable renter in their. I have very busy with my new teaching job. I have 19 fourth graders, 11 girls and 8 boys. I have been doing A LOT of learning myself. I am in a new state with different standards than Alaska, a new school district, a new curriculum and a very different school than Kincaid. I just finished my first full week! It was a good week, but very tiring. The school day is longer and added before and after school duties make for a long day. I have been taking a lot of naps! Ryan is in the new instructor training class until this coming Thursday. He has been learning all about being an instructor at the Academy and has been giving presentations. His big 50 minute presentation is on Wednesday this coming week. He seems to like his new job and really likes all the people that he is working with down here. We are heading down to Texas for the long weekend! We will visit Rob and Crystal and the kids as well as good friends Tressa and Jeremy Meacham who just moved to Texas at the beginning of August. I have a bunch of pictures of the move-in, Kiska and Mia and of my classroom so enjoy!
