Monthly Update

Lots to share. Lots, Lots, Lots.

1) We bought a house. WHAT?!? Yep. We did. When do we close? This Friday. WHAT!?? Yep, this Friday.  Take a deep breath, it's all going to be fine. (Can you tell that I've been practicing a lot  of self-talk?)  While we are only moving 15 minutes to the east, life is about to get crazy. This "new" house needs the carpets ripped up and replaced, every square inch needs to be primed and painted (my dad is helping BIG time with this), and there are lots of other odds and ends that need to be fixed/ taken care of before we actually move in mid-July. Take another deep breath, it's all going to be fine. Oh, yeah, it has a pool. After the house is fixed up, there will be a nice pool to relax in.

2) I finished my first of three graduate classes this summer. Come August, I will have my license to teach students with Autism. Not that I haven't already been teaching kids with Autism, now I will just be licensed to do it.

3) Aidan went back to the eye doctor on Monday, and even with patching for 4 hours a day, there is still no change in his left eye. 20/40. Now he is patching all.day.long. Minus any time he is playing hockey.  We'll keep patching all day long until his appointment in August, and if his vision gets better, great!  If not, then I think we're done patching and his vision will just stay 20/40 in his left eye. The opthamologist said he will still be able to get a driver's license, etc.

4) I'm sure there are lots of other things that I could update on, but my brain has already started thinking about my next grad class in July. Lots to read, and lots to write. Better get started.
