Earlier this week Matt finally got his official orders. We got home from work and there was a fed-ex package in the garage. I guess it really is real. His last day of work was yesterday.
At Pepsi they are celebrating Employee Appreciation week, and the other day Matt was honored with a "major award". One of the route drivers nominated him for something (not quite sure what that was-I don't think he's sure) and Matt won a $25.00 voucher for Pepsi merchandise.
We are going to enjoy these last two weeks as a family before Matt leaves. His departure date is October 8. No details on flight time as of yet.

Sorry for the delay in posting
OK let me start off with an apology. I notice my last posting was at the end of July. Here's the story. Right after I posted that Dan and I went up to Mackinac Island for our anniversary. Had a lovely time.
When we got back home Dan had to start his now position at Hillsdale High School as the counselor. This is in addition to his old position of middle school counselor. As you can imagine the work load is enormous.
I found out that I got reassigned to the high school. I have spent the last three weeks moving and organizing my new room. I will now be the 9th/10th grade English teacher. I have already taught 9th grade English so the material is not the issue. My students in English 9 have always been those on the advanced track. Teaching them is easy. Now I teach English 9 to the general population-a whole new ballgame. Finally today September 5 I finally am ready to start school. Nothing like waiting till the last minute. Dan on the other hand is still at school trying to get every high schooler and middle school scheduled into classes.
We celebrated N8's birthday on Saturday with "Gator" meats. We had gator that was battered and fried, gator sausage, and last but not least, gator legs. I liked the fried gator the best. The legs tasted like frog legs.
