Tuesday

Today at about 4 AM I officially completed my last assignment for Ohio U. I was soooo happy!
In honor of the occasion, Goldie (my car) got a new accessory:



We spent many fun filled hours with Steve, the cable guy. P was really disappointed because it wasn't Larry, lol. Steve was nice enough, but I'm glad N was here because when he left, N programmed the remote to do everything it was supposed to do that Steve for whatever reason couldn't figure out. We will have to schedule yet another visit with Steve because there is not a cable outlet in my bedroom. Steve has never heard the old saying about asking forgiveness instead of permission so we must clear it all with the apartment gods and the cable gods before we drill one more hole in this apartment building.

Later we went to the local school district administrative offices and enrolled P in school.

After that we hopped on the outerbelt to check out my new school. I met the admissions director and one of the deans. In honor of the occasion my laptop( no name) got a new accessory to go with my block OU. P loves it because NKU's mascot involves armor and swords, lol







Phil found this representation of the Mascot (?) in the law school building




After we got home, N decided to take a nap, so P and I went to the pool. P loves to swim and the landscaping around the clubhouse is really nice. With all that school stuff out of the way, I feel like I can finally relax a little bit.

Moving day.....

It was crazy! and exciting! and stressful! But we did it.

Sunday a friend's son and nephew came and helped me move all the big stuff. They definitely earned their money and they didn't even mind P "helping" them. (At least they acted like they didn't mind :)

This is P and J showing off their muscles:




Here's the view from the balcony:

A couple of the big items even went up over the balcony. They were too big for the front door and the 90 degree turn on the stairs. The sofa bed barely made the trip after removing the legs, the door and the railings in the stairway!

By Monday we were having dinner on the balcony:


The boys seem to like the new apartment. It has had more than it's share of little glitches but we are getting things unpacked and situated.

Giant Steps!


Today I'm starting to move. I have to go sign my lease and pick up keys. I have to keep taking steps, even if others are still throwing up road blocks.
The kids are excited and I have a friend coming today to help me.

Yesterday was my last day at work. I spent most of my time training my replacement. She is a friend from OU and she is very excited about working there. I'm glad because my boss has been so awesome to me and he is one of the nicest people I have ever met. I feel good that he has someone reliable to help him.
He told me I was going to do fine at law school. It helps me have confidence when others have confidence in me.

Did you miss me?

Sorry I haven't posted in a while. It's been crazy. To give ya'll the cliff notes version - The ex filed papers to further restrain me to this school district, I filed papers asking the judge not to. The judge is supposed to rule Tuesday, which is good because I have to sign a new lease in Cincinnati pretty soon. If the judge signs that restraining order I'm stuck. I have to be out of this apartment by the end of the month and it is rented already. Cross your fingers everybody.


Heres a little something I found on youtube from one of my very favorite movies. Enjoy.
