Moving Along.... Literally

Well our move into our new home is complete, we now have cable and internet connected and slowly things are getting normalized. When you move after 35 years in one location, it is quite a disruption in  your life.

Besides that, it is a tremendous amount of work. We have been working non stop since January de-cluttering, painting, fixing up, cleaning out, redecorating and doing all the little things that make a house desirable on the open market.

We decided to sell the home ourselves, and in retrospect, it worked out well for us. After only three days on the market, we had an acceptable offer from the third couple we showed the house to—a great young couple who are expecting their first child in April! The expectant mother is a graduate of Wheeling Park, who played basketball with our daughter and whose parents live several blocks away. She and her husband moved back to Wheeling from New York and they were thrilled to be able live in her old neighborhood, and we we thrilled to sell our house to a young couple who are about the same age we were when we bought the house. What's that about a circle of life?

The inspection, appraisal, and closing went without a hitch, so all in all we are quite pleased, and are now settling into our smaller place, looking forward to less work and more time to devote to our students and ourselves.

I have an recently developed ongoing glitch with our school's grading program, for most of the last week, I haven't been able to access the grades or attendance for my game design class IT is trying to get this resolved but as of this morning, no luck.......

The joys of poorly designed software. I wish everything in life worked as well as my Macs.
