"Who Among Us Is Still Afraid Of Choice?"

Michelle was offered and accepted the job at Accotink on Friday. She'll be the Event Coordinator, PTSA liaison, and a co-teacher in three English classes. She's very excited but also very nervous about it. We both head in to get ready for the new school year on Monday.

It means a lot of changes for us. We'll be commuting together, so there's a good chance I'll be selling my car. This actually has a lot of benefits: we won't have to pay my car insurance anymore or buy gas for it. That's about $350-$400 a month we'll save. We're thinking of looking for a new place closer to the school so we could cut our commute time. It'd make sense, if we're headed to the same place each day. We'll also, of course, have the same schedule, which is fantastic. Now we can take vacations together and be off on the same days. No more worrying about whether or not we'll be able to get time off so we can take trips. So that'll be groovy.

This afternoon, we took the Wii over to Michelle's parents' house. Everyone had a lot of fun playing, and I think her parents are really interested in picking one up now. We also had pizza, which is always great.

Tomorrow we're celebrating Michelle's youngest sister's birthday. We're also probably cleaning the apartment. Then it's back to the grind (well, a new grind for Michelle).
