(no subject)
so to all of you that i have horribly neglected, i apologize. i went from depressed homebound to WAY TOO BUSY chick.
so here's whats new.
jamie and i bought a new house. on the northside. OCEANWAY BABY :P its off of duval at 95. 3000 square ft. almost twice the size of the one we have now. it is a spec house, it should be finished mid sept.
i went back to work this monday. i will be teaching at ribault high. (yes, on purpose). i will be teaching their early college english classes (yes, english... i am dual certified in both english and math, i have just always been needed for math, so i really dont know what i'm doing, but i'll figure it out i suppose). the early college program is great. the kids are basically duel-enrolled at ribault and fccj, they start the program in 9th grade and by the time they graduate they will have not only a HS degree but also an AA. so at 17 or 18 they will begin college as a junior. it is an amazing program. and it is totally free. sometimes it pays to attend an inner city school.
so this week my poor back has been readjusting to MOVING again, esp trying to get my classroom ready..
PLUS, since i mentioned we had bought a house, well we have this small obligation of SELLING the one we're currently in..
so we had an agent come out wed night and i signed paperwork.. she put a sign in my yard... but nothing could be official til jamie signed the paperwork after work on thursday. well, as he is signing the paperwork, our phone rings and its an agent who wants to bring someone by to look at the house. like, immediately. so... while its not as clean as we would like, we ask them to give us a few minutes to finish the paperwork and then we'll leave so they can come in. so we go to dinner. we come home an hour later, our agent calls and tells us they have made an offer on the house. now tomorrow they are supposed to be writing up an actual contract, getting preapproved, etc.. but if all this goes through like it looks like, we will have sold a house within an hour of having it officially on the market. thats' just insane.
the more insane thing is that they offered 220k for our 1800 sq ft house. the new one we are buying is 3100 sq ft and costs 230k. good trade i think.
so anyway, things have been insane. we have been doing all kinds of 'fix-it' projects around the house, besides uber cleaning and keeping the salvation army in business...
of course, it looks like we will have to move out of this house before our next one will be ready. meaning we will need to store our stuff and move into an extended stay hotel i suppose. i will not go stay with my parents. i thought things were getting better on that front, but as time goes on and more things come to light, i am just truly disappointed and downright ashamed of my family. enough of that tho. i just find its amazing it took me 30 years to see how they really are.
so yay, new BIG HOUSE WITH STORAGE SPACE on the way (provided we get final mortgage approval.. tho we already got preapproved, and i'm back at work now so that definitely helps) and provided we sell this one. even if this couple that came and looked today dont come through, there are 2 people set up to come see it tomorrow during the day. very very interested from what i understand.
yay for us ;)
miss you guys.
i'm still alive tho. and things WILL calm down eventually. ... maybe...
