Schools out for summer!

Yesterday was a pretty big day for our family. It was my last day of work before summer vacation! As of 2:30pm yesterday, I'm free! Well, kinda. I have to prepare 2-3 weeks of lesson plans for the beginning of the school year for my long-term substitute and I have to go into school in a week or two and let the custodians know how I would like my classroom to be set up. I'm hoping that my principal will let me know who my substitute will be so I can connect with them and discuss rules and procedures that will work for both of us.

In bigger news, Bill put in his two week notice yesterday with his current employer. We decided that this opportunity is too good to pass up. One great thing that happened, is that they told Bill they would be hiring another driver in November at which time he'd be able to go down to working 4 days a week. When he was speaking with the hiring director, they told him they decided to hire someone else now instead of waiting until November and he would have the option of working 4 or 5 days right off the bat. Bill told them that if they want him to work 5 days he would but would prefer to work 4 days. They agreed that it would be best for him to start at 4 and if he wanted to move to 5 days, he could.

He also spoke with them about me being pregnant and they told him not to worry about it. They would work something out even though he doesn't have any paid time off yet, which made me feel better.

Now some more fun news, Monday was my 27th birthday! Bill got me an iPhone earlier this month and I'm so happy with it. He also surprised me on my birthday with a promise to go shopping this weekend for baby clothes. We really haven't bought much for the baby because we're waiting to see what we get as gifts for the showers but he knows that I'm itching to get some things. We're going to go and pick out some fun stuff just from us :) My parents took us out to dinner to one of my favorite restaurants, The Coppertop Tavern (if you're ever in Syracuse, their Avocado Eggrolls are to die for!) and we had birthday cake back at their house. My Granma, parents, and sister went in on a video camera for me! I got the Canon Vixia HF R200 and I'm so excited to document our little boy's firsts!
So here we are. I'm home today and being very lazy, I feel like I can do that since it's my first day of vacation! Big changes are coming our way. Time to hold on tight!
