We are still alive..

Whoa! So I have disappeared from the blogging world for a few months. And to be honest, I don't know what happened to February, but March and the first week of April has been the most eventful month of my entire life. Derreck got a new job. We decided we are moving back to South Dakota. I got a job. We sold our house. And we will find out tonight if we bought a new house. AHHHH! And all this on top of our normal grind. 

As most of you know Derreck got a new job in Sioux Falls with Xcel Energy. He has been trying to get a job with them here in Denver since we have moved here and hasn't been successful. When a job came open in Sioux Falls, he applied, interviewed, and took the job all in a week's time. 

For my Spring Break, we made a trip back to SD. We spent a few days in Gregory/Burke then took off for Sioux Falls to house hunt and interview for my job. It was a very successful trip. I saw my best friends, got a job, and possibly a house. 

After pouting for three weeks about leaving Colorado and my job. I have finally come around and am looking forward to our new adventure. I got a job in Harrisburg and will be teaching 3rd Grade. I am really excited about this. And who would have thought that I will get paid a little more there?! As much as I love my job here, Colorado's politics are a mess and the way they fund their education is even more of a mess. 

We put our house on the market on Wednesday night at 8:00pm and our house was sold by 3:00 on Thursday afternoon. We had 9 showings in the first day. Craaaazy!

As I was talking to my co-workers on Thursday after school, I said that everything is falling into place so perfectly and something is going to go wrong soon. (I'm a pessimist sometimes.) A few of us went out for supper because I couldn't go home until 8 due to showings. And sure enough as I was getting up from our table to go to the restroom, I tripped and fell flat on my face in the middle of Buffalo Wild Wings! But if that's all I can complain about right now then I guess I am pretty darn lucky! Well, and I miss Bailey who is in SD until we move back.. but still, pretty darn lucky!

Here is our last month..er, 2 months, in photos

Derreck and Bailey taking a break. 

My co-workers and I after a 5K on St. Patrick's Day. 

This was way too entertaining. Mary Bob could take the DC Lynch Carnival out of business with this machine. My face still hurts from laughing and my head still hurts from the gallons of beer that were consumed. 

We sold our house and I signed my teaching contract on the very same day!

It is Derreck's last weekend in Denver so we are jumping on the light rail in a few hours to take in America's favorite pastime. Baseball and beer!
