Chalk one up for smart girls...

I intend to limit blog posts here to one a day, but sometimes news happens, and I just have to respond to it.

A few minutes ago I got off the phone with Deanna and she has been offered a FULL-TIME, probationary position teaching 7th and 8th Grade (the teachers "loop") English! She felt her best chance was for a long-term substitute position, but she impressed them so much she was offered the full-time job, on a tenure track.

I'm very, very proud of her, as she's worked her butt off these past 4 years, graduating summa cum laude from Nazareth College with a perfect 4.0 GPA. She's smart, engaging, and pretty cute, too (though that should only matter to me, LOL!) -- a district would have to be crazy NOT to want her!

Anyway, this is VERY GOOD news for us, and the locations of our 2 school districts put the house with the barn into play...

Well, we're not there on that barn yet, but it's at least on the radar!

Huzzah! Please pass along my congrats to Deanna.

As for the barn, do us proud when you fix it up. We'll be visiting and we don't want to be disappointed by some half arsed job. :)

Hey Rob, congrats to Deanna on the job offer, and to you who I can only assume has moved one step closer to your ultimate goal of being a kept man! TN
