This week

This is going to be an eventful week. Today we have early dismissal at the school for parent-teacher conferences, and the principal already said that as soon as the students are gone the secretary and I can leave. I'm excited about that because I have to make about a dozen phone calls this afternoon, scheduling utilities to be turned on at the new house.

Tomorrow is Election Day (go vote!) and so there's no school. For my non American readers, many schools are used as polling places which is why it's a free day. I plan to get up early, vote, and then I have an appointment with the eye doctor. After that, the rest of tomorrow will be all about continuing to pack.

Thursday is our closing day, and will be the day we officially become homeowners....just in time for...

Friday, which is my beloved Gregg's birthday!

Whew! I'm going to be a busy girl!

Busy, yes, but in the best way and for the best reasons! I am so happy for you that things have taken such a good turn, first your job, now the house.
In Germany, elections are invariably held on Sundays. Polling stations often are in schools, too, but the kids have no early dismissal in order for the rooms to be prepared; that is usually done on the Saturday before the election.

You must be so excited! I know I am excited for you. How will you transport Marco? Had he had the experience of a new home yet? Please post pictures so we can see your new home.

What a birthday celebration you two can have this year!

Jennifer said...

Weekends would be better for voter turnout, but our elections are always held on Tuesdays.

Jennifer said...

I know! He's having a big birthday this year!

Jennifer said...

Thanks, Sue. I'm dreading the move part, but excited about the house!

Jennifer said...

I know! I'm so lucky.

Jennifer said...

I don't think we'll ever top this birthday gift! :)

Jennifer said...

Hahaha! A little less of the "money pit" part, please!

Jennifer said...

We had Marco for 2 years before we moved into this house. He took it all in stride. We transported him in a cat carrier!

Jennifer said...

We're going out shopping for the new house on Friday night!

Did you already do your happy dance for your new home? I am guessing yes. I am going out to vote this morning, my polling place is across the street from my house, how convenient.

Doc said...

Congratulations you two, that is so exciting.

kylie said...

you are going to be exhausted but all in the best cause! Greg wont forget this birthday

Jennifer said...

He sure won't! We're both super excited!

Jennifer said...

Thank you Doc!

Jennifer said...

That is convenient! I hope you didn't have terrible lines. I had to wait about 30 minutes...not too bad.

I'm saving the happy dance for tomorrow...closing day!
