Oops, I have completely forgotten to share the following piece of information. Hold on to your undies, folks: the future Mrs. Powell is going to be a principal! It's something Laura's thought about for a while now, since her teaching language arts is kind of like Muhammad Ali teaching how to lace up boxing gloves. Doing the administration thing requires another masters, so she's been in application limbo for a couple of months now. Last week, she heard back from her first choice, ye olde University of Texas and they told her to get her ass to class pronto.
As I understand it, that's one of the best programs in the country for this sort of thing, so we are both excited. She is excited to take off on this new career, while I am excited for that too, part of my enthusiasm is knowing she'll be able to support me in style when I'm blackballed from the central Texas job market.
In other news, the house stuff is going well, as far as I know. By that, I mean the house we're buying hasn't burnt down yet. Also, the wedding stuff is going well. By that, I mean that Laura hasn't yet canceled the wedding.
It's kind of weird to think that in 7 months, I'll be a married homeowner. And who knows, maybe some other stuff could happen too. I could learn to juggle and I could get diabetes, at which point I'd be a married, juggling, diabetic homeowner. Please, reality, take it easy on me with the big changes.
