House Update!

The seller came back yesterday with a counter-offer that was less than appetizing to us. I had prayed that if the deal was not right then Heavenly Father would close the door. Okay, so that one was slammed. My realtor had already called the builder by the time that she called me with the other information and opened another door. We are writing up plans today to build the same house (with all of our modifications) in the same subdivision for the same price. Well there ya go.... In today's market if you don't jump on a decent offer that is given to you, it is WAY too wasy for them to go somewhere else. Period end of sentence..
Granted that negotiations with purchasing land today go well, we would be moving in somewhere around Christmas instead of the original of Nov 30. Honestly that works better for our schedules anyways. Yay for Heavenly Father for being awesome!

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!NEW HOUSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So we made an offer on a house today and (hopefully) that means we have a NEW HOUSE!

GAK

This week in Environmental Science we were learning about each one of the biomes (tundra, rain forest, etc) and the particulars of each. Wednesday we did a lab where we made GAK which the kids loved. Basically GAK is silly putty but made with glue, water, and borax solution with coloring. Since we had been discussing how different animals were adapted to live in particular biomes, I got an insane idea. I made the students de-evolve in order to complete the lab by making them tape their opposoble thumbs down. It was so stinking hillarious to see them attempt to use the other four fingers to pour, stir, etc. Then I made them write their notes using their fingers too! Oh I am so evil but it was just priceless!!!! I am adding some pics but cropped off their faces in case any of them are in the witness protection program. (I asked if anyone was but for some reason no one would tell me hahaha)

Hello Strangers!

Hello out there to all of our stranger friends that have been left in the dark about us for the last month! These last few weeks have been totally insanely busy with us starting school, Jacob starting school, and working. It seems like I do not have enough time to breathe anymore. Hopefully things will start to settle in as we get a routine going.

Enterprise High School Update:
We are back in school going full-force minus being out one day for weather and yesterday for an electrical short across campus. Honestly I do not even remember what it is like being in a normal school setting. I am teaching only 11-12th Environmental this year and my classes are amazing. I never would have expected to wake up everyday and thoroughly look forward to getting into the classroom again. I am not helping with the cheerleaders this year (so that I can work on the wife thing) which is nice b/c I get to come home everyday at about 4:00. There is a new ETA of the new school of Summer '10 and I am just praying that I last that long.

Jacob's Update:
He is taking 18 hours at EOCC and seems to really be enjoying it thus far. Since his first class is at 7:00am (everyday) he said that he feels like he is still on his mission. Jacob is also still working at Unicel which just got bought out by Verizon. We are really hoping that the merger goes through quickly b/c we can get tuition assistance as soon as they are the owners. Yay. He also got his work schedule changed to where he no longer works until 9:00pm which I love! It is amazing getting to spend time with him everyday when he gets home at 6:00.

The Case of the Stolen Purse and Creepy Robbery Ring People:
A few days after our honeymoon, my purse was stolen out of my car along with my social security card, birth certificate, money, etc. I did not make a scene of it since I "thought" the vagabond teenagers across the street got it. Well two weeks ago I come home to 22 cop cars on my street blocking every entrance. There were a total of 53 cops (I counted) walking around with their hands on their guns and nightsticks over at that house where the "teenagers" lived. It turns out that THEY are the ones responsible for more than 60 ARMED ROBBERIES in the area that have occured over the last few months. What the heck, chicken neck?! Needles to say I was a tad unnerved by having cops scream at me to get into the hosue and lock my doors. Awesome. Well they found purses (not mine), jewelry, money, 15 large guns, and loads of drugs. Awesome again. I filed a police report after the Sherriff told me to for security purposes and so he could charge them with mine too. The kicker is that the day previous to this raid fiasco, I had gotten up the courage to go talk to them and ask them to keep a lookout for my purse that fell off car. Sherriff Sutton said that they would have immediately killed me. Awesome times three!

Soooooooo other than the normal insane happenings in the Krausz family, we are doing spectacular. Our 2 month anniversary is tomorrow which is hard to belileve. I suppose time flies when you are having fun!
