Hi all!
I know, I know... it's been almost two weeks since I last posted. Life has been extremely busy and I haven't had one minute to slow down to smell the coffee!!!
Last week was spring break. Tim and I have moved almost everything into the house. (Only the grill remains at the apt.) The movers came last Tuesday. So, I guess one could say we've been living in the house for a little more than a week now. We absolutely love it, but there are still boxes around to unpack and some pics to hang. I know what my weekend entails!
Tim went back to work this week in San Antonio. It's been a little quiet around this place this week. I'm more than ready to have him home for a few days.
There are ten weeks left until school is out for the summer. My this school year has flown by! Summer vacation will soon be here, and yet, there is so much to do still this year!
Off to unpack more boxes and decide where to hang some pics.
Have a great weekend, y'all!

A Picture
Here's a picture of the front of the house. It's still listed for sale on the internet, so I captured the pic from a website while I still could.
More pics later.
A High Speed Whirwind!
Hi all!
I know it's been awhile since I last posted. Things here have been moving at high speed!
Tim and I closed on our house Monday this week. It's a chore to get everything over to the house. I took Monday afternoon and Tuesday off this week. Mom came over to help me unpack and put away the kitchen items Tuesday. We literatly worked all day in the kitchen getting it done. It's the only room in the house that has things in it right now! Well, okay, the kitchen table is there, and so is one TV, VCR/DVD player. Last night the cable guy came and connected the DVR. Tonight the refriderator got delivered. I'm glad that this next week is spring break. I'm ever so ready for it. It's been a long haul since Christmas break. This next week will be a whirlwind, too, I'm sure, trying to get the rest of the house moved and unpacked.
Tim met our new neighbor yesterday. He's a League City policeman, about our age. It's good to know there's one right next door. Not that we are living in a high crime area at all, but just the fact that there's a cop car in the driveway next door gives some extra sense of comfort.
I'll try and do a little better at posting more often. It's just a busy time right now in the Cole household. One of these days soon I'll remember to take my camera over there so I can post a pic of the house.
Have a good one!
Till next time....
Adios.

A New House?
I know it's been a while since I last posted something. This last month and a half have been absolutely crazy!
Clear Creek ISD is opening up two new elementary schools this coming fall, and I interviewed for one of them. I was quite hopefull one of them would become mine, but found out yesterday they gave the positions to somebody else. Oh well. That's how the cookie crumbles. Yes, I was a little dissappointed yesterday to say the least.
Tim and I have been looking at houses since Christmas. We finally have a contract on a house in the South Shore Harbor subdivision. Tomorrow we are having the inspection done. We'll see how it goes. It was built in 2003, so I am hopefull that all will go well. Tim's a little leary about having the inspection done tomorrow since it will be Friday the 13th. If all goes well and everything stays on schedule we should be moving into our new abode spring break week. If anybody is in town and wants to help us move, give us a hollar! (Hint, hint!!)
Back to tending to the cookies in the oven for school tomorrow and to the card making orders.
Have a great Valentine's Day!

A Busy Holiday Season
Happy New Year!
These last two weeks of "Winter Holidays" as the school district calls it have been very busy for Tim and I. We spent Christmas day at both parents' abode. Inbetween visiting parents, we went to the movies, and needless to say, we weren't the only ones. We went and saw "Marley and Me". It was really good. The ending was sad. If you haven't seen it yet, I suggest a box of kleenex for the end. Ok, maybe just one or two tissues, but be sure to have them. Tim says he wished he could have come up with the story, though, since almost everything Marley did Cody (his dog) has done at some point in time!
Tim and I left New Year's Eve to go to my parent's lake house for a mini-vacation. He and my dad went fishing for two days, while my mom and I made a trip into the Woodlands for some New Year's Day shopping. We came home this afternoon, and Monday it's back to the grindstone. This spring semester will be a long haul since the only other break is spring break. We had other days worked into the calendar, but the district took them away because of Hurricane Ike, and the district just had to make days up. (Even though the state officials waived our days, and no other district in this area is making them up!)
For those of you who have yet to see wedding pics, they are coming, I promise. You can view them online from my photographer's website.

The video from the wedding itself will be posted here, as soon as I get it in my hot little hands!
Hope this new year treats everybody well!

Still snowing!
It's still snowing. So much so now that you can't even see the grass. Wait...what grass?
Here's an interesting fact that was on the news tonight. Every year we've had a hurricane, there's been snow the following December.
1983--Hurricane Alicia in August, snow in December.
1989--Hurricane Jerry, snow in December.
2008--Hurricane Ike, snow tonight.
Is there a correlation?
We also had snow Christmas Eve in 2004, but no hurricane that previous summer.
We are under a winter weather advisory now. Hmm...late arrival tomorrow at school? Maybe we'll have a snow day? I guess we will have to wait and see.

Snow? In Texas?
Yes, your eyes aren't fooling you! Driving home from school mid-afternoon today was a frigid one! It was a mixture of sleet and rain. (Ok, you Northerners. I know this sounds pathetic to you, but you have to remember, it only snows in Texas once in a blue moon!) It's been snowing for a little more than hour now, and believe it or not, it is beginning to stick and acumulate! The temperature is below freezing, so the snow might just be hanging around for awhile. Although it is to be back in the low- to mid-50s tomorrow. And by this weekend it is to be back in the 70s. Where, I ask you, where does the five day forecast go from snow to mostly sunny and in the 70s? Only in Texas!
My parents spent the day up at the lake house. Yes, dad fished all day. (Is he nuts??) Apparently it snowed up there most of the day. It must look beautiful!
Tim says I'm acting like a kid. He keeps coming in the computer room to tell me it's acumulating more and more, and I keep running outside to look. I just came back in from tromping in the field, and once upon the sidewalk I had to stomp the snow out of my shoes!
It's so much fun. Although, I wouldn't have to live in it day in and day out!
The weathermen originally said the snow would end around 10 tonight, but there's been an update and now they are saying 6 a.m. Hmm...wonder what it will look like in the morning. Keep your eyes peeled for an update!
