Our House

The bank approved our offer for the house so we are home owners again. I’m excited. Both Andrew and I like it and feel comfortable here. Lucia loves her new bedroom; fit for a queen.

Poor Lucia

My poor little girl had a fever of 104 degrees last night. She had a terrible night sleep and I had to give her a tepid bath for a half an hour at 2am. She was crying the whole time. I took her to her new pediatrician this morning and she has a typical “summer viris.” Her doctor said that she will feel better by Monday.

Rollins Orientation

I just had my second day of a week long orientation at Rollins College. I met all of the new faculty hires for the new as well as other long-term faculty. Everyone seemed nice. I am very excited about being here. The campus is beautiful!

Tired, Stressed, and in Pain

We just moved into our new place in Winter Park. We have not purchased the house yet since we are still waiting to hear from the bank on whether our offer was accepted. It’s a short sale so it takes time. Being that we had to move to WP to start my new job we decided to rent the home until we hear back. It’s a cool looking space, but has some flaws. None of the flaws are so bad; it’s just an older house which we are not used to. Anyways, we have spent the past three days moving out of our old house, into this one, and settling in. Both Andrew and I are tired, stressed, and in pain.

We will post some pictures soon.

Lucia’s Last Day of School at Goddard

One of the things we are going to miss about Sarasota is Lucia’s school, The Goddard School. We really love the staff and Lucia does so well there. She even cries when we pick her up to take her home. She wants to stay there with the others kids and teachers. She will miss her favorite teacher, Analia (first two pictures).

We are finally back online; but out the door

After a year of being away we are back. What’s new? We are moving to Winter Park, FL for my new job as faculty of the Graduate Counseling program at Rollins College. I am very excited about being there as it’s a great opportunity.

We have been packing for the past month and are now living out of boxes. Not fun.

So what are you waiting for?

As you can see, we haven’t posted anything on this site in months. This is because almost all of our friend and family updating needs are met with Facebook. So this is an invitation to the three or four of you who might be interested in us but haven’t joined Facebook yet. Join now.

What I was Doing 9/11/01

I was teaching an undergraduate course at UF and walked into my department early morning and noticed that it was empty. Students, faculty, and administrative staff were all crammed in a room with a small TV watching in silence. I asked, “What’s going on?”, and someone quietly said that we were at war and was being attacked all over the country. I remember being confused and feeling that life as we know it has changed forever. It was a quick, and deep sinking feeling.

I never taught my class. I walked in and announced the news to a class of students who had not heard. They all went home and so did I.

Pet Shop Boys

Andrew and I hired a babysitter last night so we can attend the PetS Shop Boys concert with our good friends Mark and Jarred. The concert was at the Tampa Performing Arts Center. It was great, a lot of fun.
