Two families asked about him, both good families, but both have teenage boys and no fenced in yard, so I thought that probably wouldn&#8217;t be the best for him.  We set him up with a window seat here and he&#8217;s settling down a bit.  Maybe accepting the fact that he lives a lazy, boring life.  Poor pup!<\/p>\n<p>We are settling in here too.  We have the guest room almost done (just need to sell that dresser!) and we&#8217;ve started hanging things on the walls.  Slowly things are finding homes and still, every single day, we LOVE our house!<\/p>\n<p>Hmm&#8230;. what else?  I&#8217;m wrapping up my second to last course for my library certification.  Only three weeks to go.  The last course starts next week so there will be a little overlap, but nothing compared to last fall!  I decided to continue on and get a Masters in Education from Montana State University as well.  Only three more courses after I complete my library certification.  It seems silly not to!  That means this June I&#8217;ll have my library certification and next June I&#8217;ll have a M.Ed.  Not too shabby! :)  <\/p>\n<p>We are gorging ourselves on Girl Scout cookies and thoroughly enjoying vacation.  I am sneaking in small plans here and there so we don&#8217;t completely merge with the couches.  Today we went to the Howe Library in Hanover so I could observe their reference librarian for a homework assignment.  The kids settled into the children&#8217;s section and spent two hours happily playing board games together.  They are awesome.  Then we got pizza for lunch, stopped at Alan&#8217;s office to deliver cookies, then came home and considered it a very productive day!  :)  Tomorrow is a no-plans day, then Thursday I&#8217;m going to drag them out again for a few more errands.  It&#8217;s a tough life! <\/p>\n<p>Do you like how I managed to stretch &#8220;nothing interesting&#8221; into five (make that six now!) paragraphs?!  I&#8217;m pretty talented like that.  I also wrote a four page paper today after my library observation.  I&#8217;d better go relax now!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I wanted to post an update but nothing exciting came to mind, so I went through my photos to see what would be worth posting.
