Can you believe it? Only (yeah, only) 9 weeks until . . . SUMMER!!! And that means, hopeful, VACATION with my hubby. This year was the first year that I went absolutely nowhere on Spring Break. We're going to try to make sure to at least go to Abilene or something next Spring Break. Let me tell ya, a vacation has been a long time coming! I am so ready for it, for sure!
Freedom! Freedom! Financial Freedom! Not there yet, but we have gotten much closer. We finally got in our refund check and were able to pay off some of our debt that we have had since we've been married. It feels so good to only have our loans left. And once those are gone, it will feel even better. Hopefully two years and we'll be done with all our debt and it will feel soooo nice! Then we'll just have the house . . . oh well. :) By then we'll prolly be starting to have kids or something so one minor debt won't hurt, right? :)
Let's see, what else happened this weekend that is exciting? We had a fun day yesterday because Friday was Karl's last day of Jail School!!!! We went up to a park close by and took Kiana with us; she absolutely loved it! She fought with us a little bit at first on the leash but once we were there for about 10 minutes, she stopped fighting and did really well with us. We walked her around the park and took her down to the water and she wanted nothing to do with it AT ALL! I know, totally crazy. She really did not want to go near it. Karl put it up to her face and she ran away from him! Karl says he things that Kiana is too good for San Angelo water. Ha! She drinks it at home, you think the creek water wouldn't be much different. ;) Then we went and played with her in the kid's play place and she absolutely loved that, too. Then I took her to go on a VERY short run. Short because 1) she is not a great running partner yet (she kept cutting me off) and 2) I'm way out of shape. :) It was really a lot of fun and was a great time for us since we haven't been able to hang out in a VERY long time.
After the park, we went to Wal-Mart and I spent some more of my birthday money on scrap booking stuff. Then I spent the rest of my birthday money at the local book sale where they sell books for 10 cents and 25 cents. I went to get some books for my classroom and I ended up getting 3 children's books, about 10 parenting/family books, and Karl got about 30 James Patterson books. And I brought him along to make sure I bought children's books only! There really weren't any good ones there once I got there. We did find some National Geographics (some from over 40 years ago) about Alaska so that was pretty cool. I know, we're dorks, but we really miss it up there and can't wait to go back. :)
Today we cleaned up some, that being a very small some, around the house and Nat came over to help Karl get some of my spark plug wires off of my car to fix it. So now it is to where I can drive it but something is still wrong with it so Karl is going to take it sometime this week to have AutoZone look at it for us. Shouldn't be anything major, but I guess we'll see. Now we are about to go grab something to eat and then go to see "How To Train Your Dragon" since we haven't gone to the movies in ages. I went for my birthday but we haven't actually gone together in a while.
Karl is heading over to Brownwood tomorrow to get some of his references filled out for his background check. He is going to try to turn it in Tuesday, fingers crossed, that he gets all the information he needs. We are so excited for this opportunity and are looking forward to hearing more about it.
Anywho, I better get going so we can leave for our dinner/movie. After this week only 8 weeks left. Woohoo!! :) I'm not a bad teacher, honest. I'm just ready for summer. Adios amigos!
