I know I know... I stink at blogging

So once again it's been about 8 years since my last post...eh. So since it's been some time since I've shared any happenings of my life, I shall try to fill you in. Well, to relate to my previous post, I took the Elementary Education Certification test in September and found out I passed that one too! YES!! Getting closer to having my own classroom and not paying for school! SUPER!! Cousin Lori is trying to convince me to forego student teaching and just start working with her in the spring semester. (Ifeel your pain Lori)

Another happening in the Looper fam, Jeremy and I are moving. Moving day is Nov. 15, a little less than five weeks. We'll be moving up to I-240 and Penn and will be living in my grandparents' house. So for the last few weeks and in the coming weeks til moving day, major cleaning has been going on at the future home. My grandparents never threw anything away, which equals lots of stuff. Seriously have found something from the last 5 decades...no joke. Old pay stubs, receipts, electric bills, letters, newspaper, magazines, etc. My older brother and I think it's pretty cool to see stuff "from the past", but my poor only child father is a little overwhelmed with the amount of stuff he has to go through. Anyone need any decorations for a birthday party from 1954? Because we totally have some!

Along with the cleaning, we have been remodeling the house. The house basically hadn't changed since the 60s, so the look was pretty outdated. And since Jeremy and I will be living there, my dad has allowed us to make decisions on textures, paint colors, tile, countertops, etc. One might be excited about that privilege right? Well this indecisive gal has been a wee bit overwhelmed. I mean, it's a lot of pressure to pick out things that will look good and match and actually look better than before. Jeremy helped me out and I think we picked some good colors. This past weekend we spent all weekend painting (and of course more cleaning). Luckily we took a break to watch the game...or...not so much. BOO!

We'll be having an estate sale Oct. 24 & 25 if anyone needs some furniture (most is actually fairly new) and then we have some other "antiques". Just throwing it out there.

Okay well I'm glad I took the time to post but I shouldn't keep putting off my paper any longer...or all the other homework and errands I have to do.
