for Snuffy! hehehe
I got the position at my school, and started on Monday, August 22nd. The kids started there that same day. I got a call a few days before we headed back to WC from a friend offering to let us stay with her family until we could find a place to live.
We've been here a week and a half. Everything is pretty much falling into place for us. I got my old position back (basically), and will be getting a raise to boot. Jerry's got his old position back, with a raise, and they have asked him to work overtime for awhile. So job-wise things are going great. We're still looking for a home though, but I'm sure that will come shortly too. We just don't want to get stuck in a lease with rent higher than we can really afford, so we're looking for the "right" place.
The kids are doing really well. Elisabeth has been placed in a K/1 class (high Kindergarten/lower 1st grade), and is doing fine there. Nick is back in his regular Gifted class, with his old buddies, and placed into the 6th grade math class (he's in 5th grade). They both are liking school (especially Nick being "back home"), and even Elisabeth is transitioning pretty well too.
So, we are at peace with this decision. Things were so stressful for so long (all summer basically) that it's nice to have the less stress for a change.
Just keep praying we find a place to live soon, so we can be back to "normal" (whatever THAT means)!!!
