Moving In Part 2

As you can see the apt transformed quite a bit today. The boxes were all moved in, and ikea exploded in our living/dining room.

In these pictures you see us preparing to leave Ikea (after being there for about 2.5 hrs). A's car is completely filled to the brim above and here P is strapping a mattress to my car. We drove about 20 mph the whole way home with our hazards on.

Moving In Part 1

We arrived in Charlotte last night around 6:30, and then quickly headed off to L's house for a lovely home-cooked meal. Below are pictures that I took of our empty apartment so that you can see it as it transforms.

Getting Started

I hope that this poster is as inspirational to my viewers as it was to me this summer. Our fourth graders created this class motto on one of their first days of summer school. After we hung it up in our classroom we recited the motto each morning.

The purpose of this blog is to keep in touch with my family and friends, to share amusing teacher stories, and other stories about this new chapter of my life in Charlotte, North Carolina. Enjoy and keep in touch!!!
