for not keeping the site up the past few weeks. Dial up is seriously doing a number on my electronic communication. Tomorrow, however, we should be the proud owners (renters?) of a Hugh’s Net dish with 1.2 M download speeds. Woohoo.<\/p>\n
So – here’s a recap of the past 3 weeks as concisely as I can manage:<\/p>\n
1) I left Alaska a few days early (Mon. July 14) to come home and interview for a teaching position. I was offered, and accepted, a 5th grade job at Nett Lake Elementary.<\/p>\n
2) Wednesday the 16th, I drove to Brainerd to clean up the apartment. I also got to meet up with Sara and Emily at Prarie Bay.<\/p>\n
3) Thursday I left Brainerd at 4:00 in the morning to pick Bill up from MSP by 6:00. We then headed back to the apartment, finished hauling stuff out and cleaning it up, and officially got checked out.<\/p>\n
4) We headed to Bemidji that Saturday for our good friend Jeremy’s wedding. (It was one of the most beautiful services I’ve ever been at.) We also got to stop in and see Bill’s grandma – she’s doing great!<\/p>\n
5) The following week we took a camping trip into Lac La Croix with Dad and my cousin Matt. It was a great trip.<\/p>\n
6) I spent all of last week in Math training up at Fortune Bay. I got a chance to meet the staff I’ll be working with. It’s going to be a good year.<\/p>\n
There have been quick visits to see both sets of my grandparents, lunch with my mom, time with our friend Amy S., hanging out w\/ Ape and Jesse, a movie w\/ Trisha, another movie at the Comet… Our time has been full in the best of ways!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
