Real World - Houston '09

Institute is done.

Life in Houston has begun.

I know its been a while since an update but I've been without internet in the house and was traipsing around Boston all of this last week. Institute ended on the 10th and we went out with a bang. My kids made amazing academic gains and we had some fun times "partying" on our last day. I even had them write me letters on my last day and got some of the cutest notes.

It was very bittersweet leaving institute. I was so excited to get out of Moody towers but having everyone going in different directions for the next two years was no fun. Some of the coolest people we met are now teaching in the Mississippi delta or the Rio Grande Valley. Looks like we will have to make trips to visit everyone!

Now after a week of relaxing in Boston we are back to the grind in TX. S. picked me up on Thursday and we made the drive straight from Boston back to H-town. 32 straight hours in the car. Fun!

It was extremely nice getting back into town. We had a very chill first night and then enjoyed our first "small gathering of close friends" last night. We spent today reminiscing about how our life in this house is basically Real World -Houston '09. Make assumptions as you like. They will probably be right.

Tomorrow Round Zero starts so we are back to work bright and early at 730 am. awesome.
