And we're back...

Life has been very chaotic lately, and my blogging has fallen by the wayside. There are lots of changes in our lives, and I am very excited for this new adventure. Nolan and I will be moving to North Carolina this summer where I will be teaching middle school English with a program called Teach for America. Nolan is in the midst of the job search, and we know something will come around! In other news, my family has lots to celebrate...Melanie is graduating high school (ah! so crazy) and my mom is getting married on May 28. I am excited for both of these wonderful events. As excited as I am to start a new phase of life, it is certainly is bittersweet leaving a city I have called home my whole life, leaving people I love, and a job that has really helped to shape who I am. Nolan and I are so grateful for supportive friends, family, and church "families" who are celebrating this new adventure with us. I look forward to blogging more often...and letting anyone who reads this in on the ups and downs of being a first year teacher and living in a new city!
