The Big Move

We are moving next weekend. Finally, we will be out of our apartment and into a house that we will soon be able to call home. I can't tell you what a good feeling it will be to actually have a yard for Jack to run around and play in, a front porch where I can sit Lily in her swing on a spring afternoon, and a laundry room where all of our clothes will become clean. It is going to be wonderful and this weekend can't get here fast enough. We did a lot of moving this past weekend. We moved a ton of boxes, pictures, couch, television armour, crib, changing table, rocking chair, blankets, pots and pans....you get the idea! So the house is situated on 10 acres of land right outside Huntsville, in Lacy Springs. It is just enough "country" for Brian to be happy and close enough to the city to make me feel like I'm not too far away from civilization! We also have a pond. The boys are going to fish a lot this summer!
For now, I must get my limerick lesson plan ready for my eighth grade students! My honors class is going to read the Bell Witch story today and then write a persuasive essay. I'm not a big fan of reading about a "haunting," but it will fulfill the requirement for our mystery unit! Pictures of the house are soon to come!!!
