2 1/2 Weeks Left

It has been a while since my last post for 2 reasons:

1) Not much has been going on around here since Jamie and I returned from Bali at the beginning of the month. We've been winding down the school year. The middle school and secondary joined together to put on a fantastic play of Peter Pan: A Funky Fairytale. Great stuff and the kids did a wonderful job. Last weekend, Jamie and I stayed up all night again for a middle school/secondary basketball/play-a-thon fundraiser for community service. It was a success, but we were exhausted. I have finished the first 3 chapters of my dissertation and my mentor should sign off on them in the next day or so. From there, it will be a long process of my committee members approving it and then constant revisions until I can begin my actual research sometime in September. Jamie is finishing her chapter 2 and should be finished with it by this weekend. We are moving apartments next year, which we are very excited about. We simply have a crappy apartment compared to others here, so it will be a nice change. It is actually only 2 buildings down from the one we have now, on a higher floor, will be quieter, and has much nicer furnishings. 11 days left for the students and we are ready to get them out of here and us to go home.

2) Blogspot/Blogger is down in China right now for some reason. I am actually using a p&&xy right now to type this. I'll post a few more times as things wind down here, but it'll be slow for a while.

I will post our schedule for the summer on here and maybe keep it near the top. For those regular on here to reading, you'll know when we'll be in Cartersville, Calhoun, or around Atlanta. So, maybe we can get together for lunch or dinner and do some catching up.

Hope all is well for everyone. I haven't received any emails, so I guess no news is good news. It certainly is for us.
