More updates...I really should start knitting again...

Sorry this is a bit disjointed...there's a lot of stuff that is easier to explain in short sentences...

Kerry and I closed on the house earlier this month. As soon as we did, we started cleaning the house. We met my cousins that live in Metter as soon as we were ready to start painting (they own a painting business), and they gave us some tips, so I started painting.

My parents came into town two Saturdays ago to help us out. When they saw how much work would be needed, we agreed to have my cousins come in to help us out. So in one day, we went from one coat done in the smallest room (the laundry room), to that room being completely painted, as well as the kitchen, the top portion of the dining room and one wall in the living room and they painted the primer in the bathroom (we learned that ripping off the wallpaper may result in sheet rock being ripped down, too. That would have been an expensive fix, so we painted over the wallpaper instead). They also taught my mom and me how to paint, so it's a lot easier now. I finished painting the living room and the majority of the bathroom (I still need to paint the toilet room), so all that's left is the toilet room and the master bedroom, then we can move in!

The deadline for the teacher of the deaf position in Savannah was extended. Again. But at least I was able to re-submit my application with the update that I passed my GACE exams. I also found a position for a hearing impaired itinerant in the next county over. I haven't sent in my application yet, because I was waiting to hear back from one of my references to make sure I could use them. When I checked yesterday, though, I saw that the position had been taken down. Eep. So I called the county and asked if I should still submit the application.

I was just called back. Not only should I submit the application, but I have a job interview next week! I'm so, so excited!!

If you can't tell, I've been busy lately. It's kind of prevented me from being able to knit a lot. But as soon as I'm done with the house, I'll be back to knitting, which means I'll be writing more blog posts about knitting!
