Sometimes I have REALLY good ideas. This is one of them! You know how garbage bags will puff up in the garbage can? That’s because there’s trapped air in there. By drilling a small hole in the garbage can, you give the air a way to escape. Depending on how large/how many holes you drill, […]
Not much to report around here. We’re slowing getting ourselves moved in. We’re still planning to do a tour video, but we kind of want the place to be respectable like. So who knows when that will be! Joni has been doing her teaching thing. It’s gone very well for the most part. She’s getting […]
If you don’t know about Epic Meal Time, and you haven’t seen Regular Ordinary Swedish Meal Time, then this will probably make even less sense.
Well, Joni starts school tomorrow. How exciting is that?! I think she’s all set to go. She’s got her stuff planned for the first day and has even started getting Wednesday prepared. Ben came over this weekend for some fun, so I’ll have to sit down and write something about that on my blog. Moving […]
We’re moved in… somewhat. We got a ton of stuff down here over the weekend and have been working on getting things unpacked. It’s actually gone really well/fast. The only issues we’ve run into is that when we unpacked the silverware we got from the wedding, we ended up with a pack of forks and […]
So I had orientation last week. It was kind of a whirlwind of information, but they have this great program in Mankato where they have veteran teachers take time off from their teaching duties to mentor new teachers full time for three years. It’s kind of amazing that they allocate those resources to supporting new […]
So, we’re in Mankato for a few days here as Joni does orientation for her job. I’m basically sitting around waiting for a call back on one of the jobs I interviewed for last week. I’m also waiting for a call telling us when we can move into the apartment. We’re hoping to get in […]
Well, Will had an interview today in Mankato, so it was a good time for me to try to schedule a little bit of technology training at the school. The computer keeper at the school said I needed ten hours of training, so I was prepared to do maybe five hours today and five hours […]
OK, update time again. Things have been progressing without fail. I have a couple of interviews in Mankato next week, so fingers crossed on those. Joni has been getting some paperwork and information on training for the new job. She’s going down with me at least one day next week to do computer training while […]
That apartment we mentioned in the last post was decent enough, so we applied and got it. Mark one thing off the list. Next up is me finding a job. I had a decent lead, but that fell through in the worst way. The guy just stopped emailing me, even after prodding. So, I’ve been […]
