Jeremy is on his way to Sage Valley to begin his new job. Mandi wishes she could go with him but in two weeks she will join him over spring break and hopefully they will find their home near the golf course. She has most of their household things packed and labeled. Jeremy said all that was left was her clothes. Boxes everywhere according to him.

Worked two days this week. Have to do some work on the non tested grades and special areas. Meeting planned for early March. Lots of reading to catch up on this week.

"To find beauty in everyone you must see beauty in everyone, then announce that you see it, for in announcing it, you place it there in their reality. Do not miss a single chance -- not one single opportunity -- to tell someone how wonderful they are, how special they are, how important to you they are, how incredible as a person they are, how beautiful they are inside and out. Do not miss a single opening in which to insert such a comment, genuinely felt and genuinely meant. Make it your life's mission today to bring to the attention of another just how extraordinary they are. Say it. Say it. SAY it. Their heart is waiting to know that their own best thought about themselves can be believed.” ~ Neale Donald Walsch

What a week!!! Jeremy sent a resume to Sage Valley, was given a phone interview and then asked to travel to Augusta for a face to face interview. HE GOT THE JOB!! What a fabulous opportunity for he and Mandi!!! He will begin his new job March 1 and Mandi will finish out the school year then join him in May. She has a spring break so they can house/apt. hunt then.
SO excited for them and us too. They are only 600 miles away now and it is a doable road trip for a weekend visit.
Happy Dance Happy Dance!!!

Leo (7/23-8/22)

Someone is starting a new phase of their life today, and you will be especially tuned into it. The purpose of your allegiance with this person is not completely clear, but you will serve as a witness, as proof of another person's fresh beginning. This person could be anyone -- a family member, a friend or even a complete stranger. Your task is to stay in the moment to be ready to gain inspiration from someone else's remarkable transformation.


Just in case some good news comes this week to someone I know I can say it was in the stars!

HAPPY 37TH BIRTHDAY JEREMY! WE LOVE YOU!!

Live your life each day as you would climb a mountain. An occasional glance towards the summit keeps the goal in mind, but many beautiful scenes are to be observed from each new vantage point.

This picture just cracked me up!
Spring has sprung in Ohio. Crazy weather here this past month in particular. One day snow and ice, the next can be in the 50's. This week is supposed to be 40-50 all week. Hope the flowers don't come up too soon. I'm pretty sure there will be more bad weather to come.

Hoping Jeremy and Mandi hear good news this week. They seriously want to move back up north to the Savannah/Hilton Head area. Just waiting on the right job to come about.

Pat got good news that he can get lasik surgery and not have to wear glasses which he has worn since 5th grade. Yay! So surgery is scheduled for the 17th.

Ok so winter has come again to Ohio. Friday was a late start for CCS but all the rest of the districts were closed. Had a massage at 10 and roads were ok by then. However, Washington gathering at Yucatan was cancelled since they were calling for ice and more snow late Friday nite. We did get the snow but not the ice :).

Pat and Jeremy learned how to call face to face on the ipads/iphones. It is great fun to talk and see the kids while we are talking. I think the boys like their ipads!! Tonight I was playing words with friends with Jacie Wright and up popped Jeremy to talk. GREAT fun!

Pat and I stayed home all day today. He plowed earlier and the dogs had fun running in the snow off and on today. Tomorrow we will probably do the same. Gonna watch some football too.

Stay warm everyone!!!

Worked last Thurs. and Friday. Friday was an all day inservice for OTES in Zanesville. Good information. Now I wish I had applied for the train the trainer program but apps closed Dec. 31.

Have to take Mike to the eye dr. tomorrow for his other laser surgery. Probably have to take him back on Tues for his follow up. At least Pat won't have to take the time off work to do it. Thurs. and Fri. I work again. Friday is inservice for all teachers. I will be with Grant on OTES session and then by myself with the TIF session. HOpe teachers ask some good questions! Seems they don't really care much about all the work a few are doing for their benefit.

Jeremy had his first day at TwinEagles today. Group of players arrived in a helicopter! Some people have WAY too much money! Hope it is a good gig for him.

Rain this week....:(
