woo hoo

10 days left of school! woo hoo!

this morning we met the woman who is going to be the new principal at cces, she seems very nice and definitely on the ball. she has a lot of background in special ed and lots of experience with visually impaired students. this is a great fit for our school since we are in need of more support in our special ed dept and we are the center for the visually impaired students for our region. she definitely knows her stuff, i only hope i get to stick around for a while to get to know her better.

and even more exciting than that....

i went car shopping tonight! yes, the explorer has seen better days and without some serious cash and continual cash it won't be seeing better days anytime soon. so since i had been toying with the idea of something new anyway, i talked it over with andy and he thought that bidding farewell to the explorer would be a good idea. so shawn and i went to carmax tonight and i test drove a brand new nissan pathfinder (only 18 miles on it!) and a super fabulous yukon denali which was completely full of fancy options (including automatic folding seats in the back, which sounds cool until you are sitting in it and someone hits the button!) lots of fun and our guy was really great, very laidback. so we will see what happens!
