Spring has Sprung!

I can't believe it's already Spring! The past few weeks have been a whirlwind of stress for Jeremy and me. I put in for a transfer at work back at the end of February and did not really know if I stood a chance of getting one or not. A couple of weeks ago, it started looking like a good possibility, but nothing was definite and it was a bit of a roller coaster ride. Thankfully, things worked out in my favor last Friday, and I got the transfer. Next year, I'll be working in a collaborative preschool classroom, which will be a regular Georgia Pre-K class with 6 kids with special needs and 14 typical kids. I'll work alongside the Georgia Pre-K teacher and aide, and a major perk is that I will be able take Sarah to work with me, since the Pre-K classes are in day care centers, and will not have to miss out on her school activities. We'll also seriously cut down on our daily commute time-wahoo! I am so excited about this new "chapter" in my career, and it will be so much fun to work in an inclusive setting.

Jeremy has officially scheduled his defense of his thesis for April 21st, so it looks like he's really on track for May graduation. He also has his very first "real" job interview this Thursday, in Richmond, Kentucky. He's really nervous because on top of being in a rush to get his dissertation completed, he now has to plan a seminar that he will present at his interview on Thursday. I think his stress might just beat out mine!

Sarah and I spent the day at my mom's a couple of weekends ago, and we got some cute pictures. She's getting a goofy picture smile. All I can say about Sarah right now is talk, talk, talk! She is SO chatty (that is, when she's not trying to be a couch potato and watch Barney all day, as you will see in the picture)! I need to write down some of our conversations so I can post one or two--some of them are pretty funny! :-)
