Wow. I cannot believe it's already mid-April. That's nuts. It's been a crazy 3rd quarter at work. I re-signed my contract and will be returning next year with a raise and a promotion involving less teaching hours and more administrative stuff. I'm making summer plans: so far Ireland, Iceland, Portland, Indiana, and South Africa are on the table/pseudo-official. Clay and I went to Shanghai for a weekend after a bad week at work, then we had a field trip with the kids on a Friday to kick off a three day weekend for Tomb Sweeping. Clay and I went to a mountain cottage for those three days. I think it's finally spring here, I hope. Things are good. About 2 more months of work, then we're free for two months. Life is good.
