Baseball ended last night. The team made it to the A10 tournament just coming short of making it to the semi-final game. For the first time in 10 years, the program recorded 31 wins. Chris is still in shock mode of "is it really over?" Thankfully, his boss gave him the day off today, so we were able to visit Arlington Cemetery where there are flags posted at every grave. We both love going to Arlington to pay our respects and honor those men and women who have and do serve our country. Chris also enjoys taking pictures of the city views and also the different sites at Arlington.
We have moved and we love our new place! We are still in Alexandria, but now in a townhome and our deck is right next to a little man-made lake. It is so quiet and peaceful. Chris loves to grill on a weekly (sometimes bi-weekly) basis. We are still in the middle of unpacking, but slowly getting settled. We decided to decorate our new place with the photographs Chris has taken. Chris is especially excited about his mancave....yes, he has a mancave. It's in the basement. For his birthday, I got him a little mini-fridge to keep his treats in so he has something to snack on while in his man cave! The weekend we moved, Chris was in Rhode Island with baseball, so I hired movers. They were AWESOME. I went with a company called Two Marines Moving. Most of their employees are current members of the military or veterans. They were excellent and efficient, and though it was weird not really helping move stuff, it was nice to have it done for us!
How could I forget the Cherry Blossoms? Need these pictures need explanation? Well, on one thing....yes. Flat Stanley was visiting us from Tucson, AZ in April, so we took him along with us. He was quite popular!
Finally, an update on my mom and my job. My mom is doing much better. Kevin flew in the night before I left and stayed with her through the weekend. Doctors say she is healing really well and she is back to her normal activities. The week I returned from helping my mom, I was so busy finishing packing for the move...and I was exhausted...but in all that craziness, my principal offered me a job to stay on at Twain next year. I'll most likely be teaching a 7th/8th split schedule, meaning teaching English for both grade levels, which I am totally fine with. It is a relief to have secured a job for next year!
It's been a crazy month, but things are slowing down. Baseball is over, and my coaching ends in two weeks, and then school will be over shortly after that. We will have a couple weeks with some downtime, then I'll start teaching summer school, and then Chris goes back to his regular work schedule.
