June=Busy!!

June is here and I can't believe it. We have 3 3/4 days of school left. Eog's are done and my kids did pretty well....I was pretty proud of them!! Although the end of school is near, my crazy schedule becomes more hectice instead of less hectic!

I can't complain because this is where I will be for an entire week immediately following dismisal of my kids!

That's right, I will be chilaxin on an island at a teacher conference for the week!! So excited! I have heard so many amazing things about this week long conference and I can't wait to go!

Following my immediate arrival back from a 5.5 hour car/boat ride to my wonderful aboad here in Cary, I will be swooshed away into another vehicle for a fabulous 14 hour car ride to.......................................................................................................................................................................

Home Sweet Home....well kinda....we will be heading back to Michigan for the week....granted it may seem like a vacation, but it never really is. We have Jeff's family reunion, get together's, bonfires, and sooo many exciting things to do. By the end of our trip, I am always so excited to get back to our life here in NC.

Other than those two exciting things, not much else has been going on besides school/work. We have been house hunting and trying to figure out the best place for us to move whether it's to Durham and get more affordable housing or hold out another 6 months or year and build up our savings and get a house in our desired area of Cary/Apex.

Most people I talk to don't understand why we are having such a hard time finding a house in this market. Well the reason being our desired neighborhoods are way out of our price range at this point, so our options are 1) get a townhouse in our desired neighborhoods with no yard and no privacy or 2) move to an area we are not the most enthusiastic about, where we wouldn't want our kids to go to school but we could get the type of house we wanted with a yard and have the space we want. Our kids could obviously come to the school I teach at.....ahhh decisions....it's just such a big decision and we are so tired of renting....we shall see if we can find a comparable house/area before our lease is up....but just in case we are checking out other apartment complexes just in case....argh!

Funny story for the day: So Jeff got a birthday card and balloon from our aparment complex and he put it in the bedroom the other night, well it started deflating and floating lower and it scared our puppy: Maggie. She got so scared of the balloon that she jumped into bed with us. It was quite hilarious because I could not get her off the bed...it took me like 10 minutes to get her off the bed and she jumped up on the bed again after I had gotten up to get ready for work and Jeff couldn't get her off either.....what a pansy that puppy is!!
