Not only did we move in, but...

The ants moved in too!!!!!!!!! So, I have ant bait all over our house. My mil gave me advice on getting some ant killer and spraying it where ever they can come in. I found where they were coming in, in the pantry. So I put ant baits there and they are eating that now. Hopefully that will work. I can see them in my bedroom going for that ant bait. Eat it up you little buggers!!!!!!!!!!!

On a side note, I keep typing aunts, hehe. :)

Random!

We say this a lot these days with Jamie. She comes out of the blue and blurts out something. So we reply, "Random!" hehe

*School starts in a few weeks, and still no job, or teacher certificate in hand. I might have to be a stay at home mom. Which I am okay with, really. I can get my house in order and finish my master's degree. I also want to lose some weight, so more time for that would be nice.

*I'm sitting here staring at boxes. My bedroom is 1/2 packed. Faith may end up with the most boxes per room. She has 20 boxes of stuff just for her room! We're going to have to go through those when we get to our new home.

*Tomorrow they finish packing.

*Thursday they load the truck.

* Friday I clean.

*Saturday we drive to our new home in Hillsboro.

*Monday we sign papers and Tuesday we start moving in! Wahoo!

I am excited to move and get the girls started in school. Fun! Fun!

The Discovery Center



No pictures of the girls, they moved from display to display too fast. :)

The girls and I went to the Discovery Center Science Museum today. The girls had a ball playing with all of the displays. They have a "Good Vibrations" area right now. It was pretty neat. They even have a piano display that is just the insides of the piano so you can touch it and pluck the strings. Pretty neat.

Afterward, we headed to DQ for lunch. The girls love going there. They get an ice cream treat for dessert. Now we're home, "freezing." The girls are freezing, but it feels good to me. We have a cold front here right now and it is only 69. I can only imagine how chilly my Phx family would be if they were here right now. :)

I am kind of aimlessly wandering around my life right now. With not major school project to work on at the moment, I am restless. I'll get used to it. :) I took up a cross stitch project that I started last fall before Christmas. It says 08 on it. OOOPS! I think I'll just leave it. I started it then. When I sign it, I'll put 09. :) Or 10 if I put it away again. :)

I hope all are well. I miss you all and would love to hear how things are going on in your neck of the woods.

My thesis is done!

My thesis is done! I handed it in. Baring any major mistakes, I should get a good grade on it. My professor said it was a great paper, so I don't see that I'll have any trouble with it. What a relief to be done with such a big project. Whew! This fall should be fairly easy. So no worries there. Then I'm done in December. :) Wahoo!

Statistics!

I have too much information for my Master's Thesis and am totally confused on what to do with it. I gave up and e-mailed my statistics professor and asked him. I just am at a loss on what to do.

Joe is working on his Mustang trying to get it to work. He had to put his old heads back on because the new one is warped. :( As long as he gets it running, I don't care. I don't think it will come to Portland, unless he parks it on the street. We only have a 2 car garage.

The girls are playing nicely together, whew! I don't know how I would have gotten through this master's program if they didn't play well together. It would have been a nightmare.

Do you snore? I snore and am wondering if I need to see someone about it when we get to Portland. I know I need to lose some weight, but I snored when I was in a size 2! So that can't be all of it. Sometimes Joe doesn't know how I don't wake myself up.

Well, that got random. :) I avoiding going back to my paper. I'm stuck and will probably have to wait until I can get help from my prof.
