realestate

I've been looking at some real estate and can't believe how different prices are from IL and OH. The houses that we could afford in OH are three times the size of the ones in IL/WI. We're praying that God will show us where to go in the upcoming year.

Pulaski Day!

So I love teaching in Illinois for a lot of reasons, but one in specific is that they celebrate Pulaski day. This means NO SCHOOL! Brent had school because they had to make up snow days. I teach at a private school and we don't have to make up until later. So here I am, at home getting ready to type 5-6 masters papers all day. I set the coffee maker last night so Brent would have coffee in the morning and there would be some left for me. I love not waking up at 5:30am! I'm not someone who can sleep in till 10-11 (I used to be). Nowadays I sleep in till 8:30-9. I think its because I feel there's so much to do in the morning. I usually make sure the house is clean and if its a weekend I cook breakfast around 9:30. On Saturday I made Belgian Waffles with our new waffle maker. This is our 2nd new one. The first one we got from our wedding broke and I couldn't take it back. My amazing mother knows how much my husband loves her waffles so she got us a very nice one for Christmas. Let me know if you'd love the recipe! They are AMAZING! I thought I'd put up some pictures of our family. Some are from our wedding and some are from Christmas! Enjoy and have an awesome PULASKI DAY!

Just Starting!

Wow! It's exciting to be starting a new blog for Brent and I. So much has happened to us in the past two years that I thought I better start writing it down somewhere so our kids can look back and see what we were up too. I also thought this would be a great way to stay in contact with friends and family. You know you always get that question, "So how are you guys? What are you doing these days?" Now I can say, well check out our blog!
