My first blog

Hello everyone! I thought this would be a creative and fun way to keep everyone updated with our lives. We are still settling into our new house, all the furniture and stuff is in here, now it's just decorating it and making it ours. We've just been enjoying being able to come home and relax; it's still hard to realize that this house is ours! Plus, the weather here has been beautiful lately, and so we've been doing a lot of BBQing with our new grill. Yummy!

My annual evaluation for work is almost here, and I can't believe I've been out of school for almost a year already. Time has really flown, this has been such a momentous year for us! Kyle has decided to go back to school to get his master's in teaching, and we're both really excited about it. He's always wanted to teach, and now has just presented as the perfect time to go back to school. He's going to apply this summer, and if he's accepted he'll be starting school in August! He's decided to apply to the part-time degree program at Concordia University in Portland, which means that he will finish in 22 months. His classes will be 1-2 nights per week, with occasional classes on the weekends and online. He decided to do part-time so that he can work at the same time, so he'll be pretty busy. Please be thinking good thoughts and prayers about him applying to grad school, and I'll keep you posted. :)

This weekend is one of the first free weekends that Kyle and I have had in a long time, so we're looking forward to just relaxing and getting stuff done around the house. Oh yeah, and go Blazers!
