I'm a newlywed (married in June 2008) and live in Texas with my husband, two cats, and two dogs.

We live in ranch-style house built in the 1950s which lately always seems to need repairs.

This is my sixth year teaching--I spent the first two years in Teach for America. This blog began during the TFA days, so feel free to read back to 2003 when it began.



I don't want a baby, but I want a baby!

finances
I've decided to take on finances for the team, and I finally bit the bullet with using Quicken. I can't believe it took me so long to try it--I think it's fabulous! So much easier than exporting everything to Excel, then sorting it, etc. It'll be good to see how much we're really spending eating out between the two of us. I think that's definitely something we can work on in order to save money. It'll be useful too once my husband gets a new job to manage our cash flow, savings, and building his retirement plan.

In-service starts on Wednesday, assuming that we don't have a hurricane here. I'm just really jaded after Rita. I think the news stations make it sound sooo much scarier than it really is. I doubt that we'd evacuate for anything under a Category 3 headed right for Galveston.
