The Reid Family Blog: June 2009

I am so sorry to my loyal followers...I know that it has been way too long since I updated, but if you've ever had a little baby, looked for a house, job hunted, moved, or done all of these at once, then you understand.

So...now we are staying in Duncanville at the Reid's. It was just too hard to travel the 3 hours back and forth every weekend (plus some) to job hunt and house hunt. It was really a very good decision for us and thanks to Steve and Linda for staying at thier house and my parents for an extra set of hands we are feeling much less stressed out as of late.

If you are wondering, I officially have a job for 2009-2010! I am going to be teaching 1st grade at Felty Elementary in Waxahachie ISD. I have an amazing principal who told me that she has wanted me on her campus since I interviewed with her way back in April at the TCU job fair. I know she's going to back me through thick and thin. I also have a great team. 3 of them have already called or texted me to welcome me and I am hanging out with several of them on Thursday! FUN! This is going to be so good...regular education, younger kids, a good district (and the same district as Pat, which means the same days off), great team and principal, pay raise...all is good!

Also, our other big news is that we have gotten an offer accepted on the house that we want. As long as the inspection and loan go through, it's all ours! The address is 632 Brenna Road in Waxahachie. Here's a link to read about it: http://www.realtor.com/realestateandhomes-detail/632-Brenna-Road_Waxahachie_TX_75165_1110443897 . We think it will be just right for us. It's 10 minutes from Pat's school and about 5 from mine.

My sweet girl gets more alert and attentive every day and she has gotten sooo big. We are starting to get smiles and giggles now. LOVE it! She can almost hold her little head up by herself and she loves to push with her legs. Sometime I think she'll walk before she crawls. We have even started to wean her of the shield when feeding and I have to say I love it the natural way much more. Come visit us any time!

I have lots of recent pictures of my sweet little girl and all the other happenings that I will post soon and even a few little videos...I promise it will happen as soon as I can. Love you guys!
