a few things

- we finally got internet! oh, how i've missed blogging.

- i'm done teaching for the summer!

- i just found out that i got a permanent teaching position beginning in the fall. hallelujah!

- our house is slowly but surely coming together. photos to come as soon as we finish.

here are some iphone photos of what we have so far...

beach day

today is a much needed beach day.

it's overcast and perfect.

tonight we're going to go see a movie 

and then probably stay up way too late watching awful television shows.

because this is what you do when you're married to your best friend

and you live a short drive away from the beach.

**tuesday we're getting internet!!! which means i can finally start blogging again! yayyy!!!**
